Grand Theft Auto is like a gift that just keeps on giving. As these games take years to make, several content pieces end up on the cutting room floor. For example, we have evidence of a cut mission for the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City that sees the game's protagonist, Tommy Vercetti, star in a movie.
YouTuber Vadim M was the first to find the code buried deep in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition, which is a remaster of the 2002 title.
As seen on Vadim's video, the code for the mission, movie demo, contains a cutscene where Tommy leaves the Ocean Beach police station, after which two gangsters follow him to the Malibu Club. A shootout then ensues as the game's protagonist rides off in a Banshee only for the car to crash and leave them "dead". After piecing together pieces of cut dialogue, Vadim finds out that the cut content is part of a deleted mission that sees Tommy star in a car chase scene.

The most interesting part is how the dataminer found the code for the buried mission.
