 The game emulates the movie _Scarface (1980)_ (qv): a low life thug  leaves a place he doesnt want to be (Prison/Cuba) and moves to  Miami (or in VCs case, Vice City), gets caught up in a riot, wears  flowery shirts, and begins to take over the city, with a chaotic  ending battle. The apartment where Tonys friend was killed is  featured, along with the area known as Little Havana that was  featured at the begining of the film, and two nightclubs (The  Malibu, Pole Position Club) are clones of two nightclubs in the film  (The Babylon, and the Little Havana Club).
