Line 40:
** Falling into the skybox in the sequel normally registers as a [[Bottomless Pit]] death, but with a certain glitch, you can survive the fall and drive around in the void.
* [[New York City Cops]]: Tanner is an NYPD detective.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The final level of the first game, "The President's Run," is a [[Luck -Based Mission]]... meaning that if you get really, really lucky, you ''might'' be able to do it.
* [[Nitro Express]]: In one mission of the first game, you must deliver a crate of unstable explosives in a pickup truck across the hills of San Francisco. In another level in the second game, you must take down an explosives-laden truck by ramming it.
* [[Railroad Tracks of Doom]]: Las Vegas in the second game has a level where you must run for a car parked on a train bridge and get it off the tracks before the train arrives.
Line 46:
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: TK, after {{spoiler|being betrayed by his employers and getting incarcerated for 28 years}}, spends the second half of ''Parallel Lines'' getting back at the people responsible for his imprisonment.
* [[Rubber Band AI]]: If a cop falls far enough behind you, it goes into what fans call "doublespeed", [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|gaining double the normal top speed in order to catch up]]. Especially noticeable in ''Driv3r''.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The tutorial in the first game is lifted directly from a similar scene in ''The Driver'', where the main character proves his skills to some gangsters in a parking garage.
** Several missions in the first game also mirror or homage famous car chase sequences in movies such as ''[[The French Connection]]'' and ''Bullitt''.
** Same goes for the "Movie Challenges" in '' San Francisco '', special missions that closely resemble famous movie chase scenes.
