 * Smug Snake William Sharp was voiced by the late David Carradine.
 * Oh my god...did Mr. Sheffield just drop the F-bomb?
 * Don't know why Jin felt so bad about hurting people when he worked for Sun's father. He seems to love doing it now.
 * Zuko is EVERYWHERE in the first game. Random Saints, pedestrians, and even Vice Kings sound like they're about to start Firebending any minute.
 * In Saints Row: The Third, Troy Baker provides a generic Caucasian voice for the Playa, sounding very similar to Nolan North.
 * Laura Bailey provides the generic female voice. Suddenly the vampire references make sense.
 * Steve Blum does the zombie voice.
 * Hulk Hogan comes in to voice Angel De LaMuerte, and Sasha Grey (famous for her...other works) voices Viola DeWynter.
 * The Cockney voice option in The Third is provided by Robin Atkin Downes.
 * Yuri Lowenthal puts on a Fake Brit voice for Syndicate hacker Matt Miller(Which makes him the second Gang leader he has voiced, since he voiced Shogo Akuji in 2), and his wife Tara Platt acts as the protagonist's Fake Russian female voice.
 * Natalie Lander (Pandora) does the voice of Kinzie
 * In addition, Adult Swim has its own radio station in the game, with Jon deejaying.
 * Rob Van Dam voices one of the announcers in the Professor Genki activity and Rick Wasserman (Thor voices Killbane
 * Tim Thomerson voices Cyrus Temple.
 * Burt fucking Reynolds plays... Burt fucking Reynolds.
 * Jane Valderama is Asian correspondent, Trisha Takenawa.
 * Michelle Ruff (Crimson Viper, Arioch, and [) is Jenny Jaros.
 * The second game has a fair amount of references to anime and manga, particularly as far as the Ronin are concerned. Three of the bikes in the game are named Kenshin, Tetsuo, and Kaneda; the latter two are references to Akira, the former, possibly Rurouni Kenshin. Shogo Akuji and his father Kazuo are named after Shogo Kawada and Kazuo Kiriyama from Battle Royale. Finally, both Shogo and Kazuo are voiced by well-known anime VAs: Yuri Lowenthal and Steve Blum, respectively.
 * What Could Have Been:
 * An early concept portrayed Kiki and Viola as Japanese twins named Natsuko and Yukako (nicknamed Suki and Yuki) who ran an all-female gang to counter the original all-male Morning Star concept. The two gangs were merged to streamline the story, but the twins were changed from Asian to Caucasian to avoid the whole "badass Asian chicks that are subservient to an older man" stereotype.
