The boars head at Kamp Krusty was a reference to the season 9 episode “Das Bus” , when the kids get marooned on a desert island during a school field trip.
@@VVolfiee not to mention the terrible driving physics and camera being locked…plus the fact every mission is the same 4 different types, chase, destroy, escape or collect
I think some of the most interesting facts about the game are those found in the Source Code documents for the game. Such as the complete redesign of level 1, the removed boss missions for levels 2, 6 and 7. The numerous revisions to the playable cast, the cancelled E reader game cards, unused ability to unlock a secondary protagonist for each level, the stamina meter, the removal of several iconic characters homes and so on
@Jay-fs2nw files of the source code leak I mean. There's alot of stuff leftovers in there minus an actually playable build of the in development game unfortunately
Chester’s rocket car is drivable, and is very unique. I believe it is the fastest vehicle in the game, but also incredibly fragile, blowing up after a few light hits. It is absolutely possible to do missions in it, but with great care and skilled driving .
One of the fastest yes, even beating other other top cars, it just breaks easily. The speed is crazy good and it does kind of stand above most anything.
5:50 I think the American Gothic painting would've ended up in the Simpsons' house. It's a reference to the episode where Bart gets distracted by the radio and polishes the entire painting away
Submission: in level one there’s a sign in the trailer park that says “days since last tornado: 14”. The same sign is shown in Lurlene’s trailer park in the season 3 episode Colonel Homer
These devs put more love and attention into some random licensed game than most AAA studios do today into their flag ship franchises. What the hell happened with game developers? Games before 2011 seemed to be genuine passion projects even if they sucked.
They don't need to put in effort before the game is released, they can just make money while the game is out and infinitely charge people for playing jt
13:05 One of the Magazines there is 'Sponge and Vacuum' (the one marge always gets) I think that 2nd magazine from the right says 'Noyz Machine' and has a picture of Fat Tony on the cover? Can't make out the one on the left, but the cover looks like Troy Maclure
Loved this video, 10/10 BUT Some other things you missed: The burlesque house in the first level, you could have explained what each of the cars are, e.g. Snake's Bandit, the Book Burning Van, the Electaurus, the Clown Car etc, as well as each of the hidden cars within each level, e.g. the Night Boat in Lisa's level, the Planet Hype Car in Bart's second level. Also the Bowl-a-Rama's pin-maker, Dr Nick's monkey box in Bart's first level, the gold shown at the river bed near the school, the Tomacco farm. Also the subtle changes between each level, including the buzz cola into the town's water supply in Bart's second level. Aside these minor points, your video is excellent!

I spent an ungodly amount of time in this game as a child. I might have searched every nook and craney. I hadent seen much of the show either so all these easter eggs really made it feel lively. I got it on Christmas and saw the santa homer and thought it was a fever dream. So much of my childhood has come back to me thanks to this one video alone. Thank you, man. 😅
I've never been able to confirm it, but I swear the menu easter eggs are NTSC only. I remember playing the game on a PAL PS2 on Halloween and Christmas and never having the menus change.
Many people have issues or consider bad the last missions of the game cause they are monotonous and repetitive, but i think the reason why the last 3 missions are the same is cause the devs probably meant for the space ship to be treated as the final boss, and tipically in games, you have to do a certain thing a certain number of times until you beat the boss, so those last 3 missions where the simpsons hit and run's version of that,
For some reason I had this game as a kid even though I wasn’t allowed to watch the Simpsons. Going around and activating everything and seeing all the little scenes play out was my favorite thing to do in the game. I never got around to watching it so I never knew all this stuff in the game was all references to the show! I thought they were just funny little bits! It’s amazing how much love and care went into a licensed game ❤
Another fact - if you get picked up by another character and you find a wasp - if you park right wasps can shoot the driver out of the car as long as it’s open top Their full character model will stand there and they’ll speak lines of you hit them but when you get in the car and drive you’ll still sit in the passenger seat
I loved just walking around springfield instead of doing missions most times when i played it as a kid. The attention to detail on everything is spectacular.
Love the video. Clicked on it without seeing whose channel it was as it was in my subscriptions tab. Really thought it was TheRealJims until part way in and thought "wait Jims voice sounds like TKs."
I remember my brothers and I playing on the holidays just so we could see how it changed. Eventually we learned to change the date on the ps2 so we could see them whenever we wanted. Being a kid was so simple
Hit&Run is an almost flawless masterpiece that achieved as much as could realistically be expected from its very limited budget, tight deadlines and the hardware limitations of the era. In a better timeline than this the Hit&Run series would have gotten numerous sequels across numerous different generations of consoles. I’m sure that even if I live to be 105, every time I play Hit&Run in the nursing home, I’ll still remember fond memories of childhood afternoons spent running over pedestrians and beating the shit out of my wife and kids while playing as Homer
After beating the game again yesterday i had an idea on how you make the las missions less repetitive, you still have the Autopsy part 1 with your car and part 2 with snake's car, but for the last mission instead of being the same and you having to go to the power plant i takes place in the school yard, the spaceship shoots lasers to defed itself and breaks all the obstacles in the school yard so you can drive around better, so each member of the simpsons family uses the map you got from mr. Burns (thats not used otherwise) to dig up nuclear waste buried under the school yard, 3 in total cause one barrel per Simpson family member, and you as homer with Abe's in his car drive around the yard avoiding and guiding the light that sucks you up onto the nuclear waste so it sucks that up instead until you beat the boss, idk if it would've been possible with the limitations back then but I personally like the idea
This information is not useless
prove it
@@waffensuperninja why should they?
@@thatonedudewoosh
could be useful to a game dev to see what kind of Coding styles are useful.
I love how Homer says "my name is Homer!" to the guy who owns the bar he's a regular at
11:00
I’m Lenny…I’m Lenny
"My name is homer"
"I have sold my kidneys three times. I have no idea what's keeping me alive"
"I have sold my kidneys... three times. I have no idea what's keeping me alive."
Has been one of my favorite since My first played the game 😂
Oh poor Moe
The attention to detail is insane. No wonder so many people prefer older video games over the newer ones.
Fallout? Nah hit n run

Just watch The Homega Man, close enough

We need a remaster of this game
Would be fun for sure.
Honestly the game looks good enough as is. But to vastly increase the size and scale of the story would be awesome
@@VVolfiee not to mention the terrible driving physics and camera being locked…plus the fact every mission is the same 4 different types, chase, destroy, escape or collect
A remaster with the style of The Simpsons Game would be neat, you know where it looks 2D like the TV show but still plays like a 3D game?
unlikely but possible i guess.

Do you know where i can find that info outside of looking at the source code myself? Either website, video etc
@Jay-fs2nw files of the source code leak I mean. There's alot of stuff leftovers in there minus an actually playable build of the in development game unfortunately
@@Jay-fs2nwusually the site "the cutting room floor" has info about unused/beta versions of games and such
3:11 so i'm pretty sure the noise/scream Scratchy makes right here is simply homers scream shortened

It really shows how much love went into hit and run. With so many references and nods to the show

This was not a video I ever expected to see from your channel. Frankly this is not a video I expected to see, ever. And I’m so happy it’s here.
5:27 i think that’s George Washington, not Mozart
13:05 I think that might actually be Snowball
I agree.
Came here to say this too
You right.
Dude thank you. This is the content we need from the mantis!
5:50 I think the American Gothic painting would've ended up in the Simpsons' house.

Love watching your vids! Thanks for all the Fallout content and the new stuff!!!
💋
Oh man perfect timing! I'm sitting in the bathroom for the next 45 minutes now at work
The black egg scene is also a reference to Stephen Kings storm of the century
Ahh this brings back memories....bad ones first time i ever broke a controller in rage.
6:52 I want to add that the 939 area code is a real area code, it’s Puerto Rico’s second area code. The first being 787.
glad the simpsons hit and run community is finally hitting it big time
This is the video I didn't know I needed right now.
Loved this game, glad it is also getting the tks treatment
Hope you like the video!
21:44 - "This is the secret video for this level..."
Did you mean to say "secret vehicle"? Or...
Submission: in level one there’s a sign in the trailer park that says “days since last tornado: 14”. The same sign is shown in Lurlene’s trailer park in the season 3 episode Colonel Homer
A full documentary 🎉 for sure!!
Hope you like it!
Been watching speedruns and analysis/breakdown videos of H&R lately, this couldn't have dropped at a better time
Your timing is impeccable.

this information worths millions
Ah yes, my favorite entry into the Fallout Series
My parents would not let me play GTA, so this was the perfect substitute. They don't make games like they used to.
THIS is what we’ve been needing. this is what life is all about.
that hockey emote on lisa goes hard
I really wanna play this game again but it’s way too expensive to buy a copy online
And I don’t have a good enough computer to play it
2005 flashback - My aunt took away my gamecube when i went to her house because i was kicking people down the street 😂
Did you kick her down the street?
If there was ever a game that NEEDED a modern remaster, it's this one.

Small fun fact about the missing M in the monorail, it can be seen attatched to the back of the Lard Lad donut in the level

Get out. Now.
haven't watched your videos in a while but when I saw the title I instantly had to watch.

Must be a PS2 thing specifically because I have a PAL GameCube copy and it has the menu easter eggs.
@@BenCol I have a PS2 PAL copy and the menu does change on Christmas and Halloween. OP is misremembering.

They really went all out, you really have to respect this level of detail.

This video brought so much joy and nostalgia to me.

My favourite part is when Homer says “it’s simping time” and Marges all over the place.
Guess we doin Simpsons now
