gangster_b Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I was watching "Behind Enemy Lines" last night, and notice that the russian guy(Vladimir Lvovich Mashkov) looks a lot like Nico Belic. So I searcht it up at Wikipedia, and they Qouted: "Vladimir Mashkov's character from the 2001 movie Behind Enemy Lines, the Serbian sniper, may or may not be the basis for Niko Bellic, the main character for the upcoming video game Grand Theft Auto IV, due to the fact that both sport a similar blue with white stripes track suit and are of Eastern European decent. Whether this is true remains to be seen as it is currently mere speculation and opinion." Post your opinion,if you think he looks like him or not(Or If you find some one else who looks like him). PS: Sorry for my bad English, I'm from holland and i'm only 16 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabbathfan Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 This has been noted a few times before but there are definite similarities although R* have said the game is not based on any movies (unlike the previous ones). I do think that they have taken at least the costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that they have taken at least the costume. I think they ment the story line and/or the location. they didn't say anything about characters...

ceedot Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Been pointed out many times. Rockstar like to copy and mix many things, such as cars, people and places. He could have been a first idea, then changed, removed and added things to his character. Like Tommy and Scarface, he wasn't completely Al Pachino, or CJ and Tupac, Ryder and Eazy-E.

nlitement Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 This was pointed out 9 months ago.. when the first trailer was released. The OPs I never blame, but those who are like "NICE FIND DUDE LOL" I feel slightly funny about.. you should've been here damn it since GTA IV was announced!

Transparanoia Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Does anyone else see a similarity in Niko, this guy and the guy's son you have to kill in Call of Duty 4? He sports very similar facial hair, haircut and tracksuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 This has been noted a few times before A few? Dozens. Dozens of dozens. It was posted minutes after the first trailer was released. It was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the trailer. How could you have possibly thought that nobody else had thought of this before now?
