The Unknown Guy's model is a direct visual reference to Bishop, Tupac Shakur's character in the cult classic film Juice — complete with the grooved haircut and hooded denim jacket — yet most players only knew him as a mysteriously behaving generic pedestrian.

First look at the Unknown Guy — that grooved fade and hooded denim jacket scream Bishop from Juice, yet everyone just wrote him off as some random ped.
Grove Street attack — even when he's acting sus, that Bishop drip stays intact.
Molotov in hand — feels like he's about to drop a 'I am crazy!' line straight from Juice, but nah, just San Andreas being weird again.
Gallery shot proving Rockstar put real love into this reference — too bad nobody clocked it.
Now he's driving trains? When did Bishop do THAT in Juice? Peak GTA randomness right here.
Final shot sums it all up — an incredible film reference that spent years in the shadows as just some weird NPC.
Two games, two Bigfoot achievements, one epic inside joke spanning 81 years.
