Deagle Dave Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hello, does anyone know some movies that are similar to GTA? And I really mean in the Scarface direction, with the lowlife guy growing higher and higher in the criminal circuit by making deals and taking over. Scarface was a lot like Vice City (or rather vica versa), but I have yet to find a movie that displays GTA's mood so good as Scarface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRex Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Russian movie called ''Brat 2 (english: Brother 2)'', pretty cool movie, about Russian immigrant in USA (NYC) if I remember right. Really reminds me Niko's story, he also buys guns from his friend. Edited March 14, 2010 by DimitriRUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deagle Dave Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Ever heard of The Godfather? Despite it's popularity, I've never watched it (even if I played a small part of the videogame). I don't think I'd like it much, I'm really not a fan of the big maffia and families setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacketOverload_x64bit Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Movies that remind me of Grand Theft Auto 4? Hmm... Heat (1995) Blow (2001) Layer Cake (2004) There are others, just can't remember at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFoundAndBlessed Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Scarface equals GTA Vice City but I guess you already knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDastardly Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Not quite what you are looking for but Natural Born Killers was a big inspiration for the original GTA's I think. You should definitely check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hove Beach Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Ever heard of The Godfather? Not similar at all!!! So don't try to be sarcastic man, that ain't cool Can't actually think of a movie myslef but the game mafia 2 sounds a lot like IV, to guys who try to find sucess in America and live the American dream...

Ats. Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 For some reason, a film called Walking Tall starring Dwayne Johnson has always reminded me of GTA SA. Even if it's not that similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drugsgunsmoney Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) you all need to check out "LEON : THE PROFESSIONAL" (aka "the professional") i highly recommend it to any GTA IV fan Niko reminds me a lot of Leon and its a great story sorry this isn't anything like scarface but i thought it rates a mention as it has a lot similarities to gta 4 (more than scarface, i don't remember Niko having a drug problem ) Edited March 14, 2010 by drugsgunsmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokrie Dela Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 For some reason, a film called Walking Tall starring Dwayne Johnson has always reminded me of GTA SA. Even if it's not that similar.I think GTA is so successful that you can't compare it to one kind of film, There's comedy, action and drama. Scarface of course, the inspiration behind VC. Maybe LCS and III could be inspired by the godfather, i don't know having never sat through the whole film! That has Johnny Knoxville in don't it? Something bout toppling a crocked Casino? The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. Click here to view my Poetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanjeem Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 There are alot of movies simmilar to GTA or follow the same kind of trend but really you cant compare the video game with a film, Films about the mafia and crime are must more realistic and teach you more than video games.

TheIncredibleMrGQ Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Ever heard of The Godfather? Despite it's popularity, I've never watched it (even if I played a small part of the videogame). I don't think I'd like it much, I'm really not a fan of the big maffia and families setting. You hafta see it. I hadn't seen it until about a year and a half ago when I bought the box set for my gf (she love its) but I was very impressed, by both 1 & 2 (still haven't watched 3). Trust me, if you like GTA for it's story you'll love the Godfather for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell GTA SA took place in gangton(aka compton) and Boyz n the hood took place in crenshaw(westside southcentral) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story no but the first half draws the themes inspiration from boyz n the hood and menace 2 society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm no, Like I said only the CITY is the same, they dont even take place in the same part of south central(Boyz n the hood is westside south central and SA is eastside south central) There was really nothing in common with either movie. In all honesty, SA prolly had more in common with the movie 'Colors' and the movie 'South Central' than any of those movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
