Phil is a great character. He witnessed the betrayal of GTA’s first main antagonist, his sister died to the most powerful drug cartel in the city, his best friend was murdered at his old place, witnessed the rise of Vice City’s most powerful mobster, lost his arm, went on a journey to a new city and had new start, probably in the favour of providing for Mary Beth and Mary Jo, met Liberty City’s most likely most powerful mob boss and was involved partially in the feud between Claude and Catalina. One armed Phil, but never unarmed Phil.
Too bad he's a happy trigger war criminal and kinda racist but I guess everyone in GTA is some kind of asshole, especially in Vice City, can't think of any nice people from that game, and that includes Tommy, to be clear I'm not saying they're bad characters, just bad people, which only makes sense in a game like GTA where you're supposed to commit a bunch of crimes.
@@ginogatash4030 very nice people would probably not stay by their side for long, phil is possibly the more ''nice'' of then , even more in gta 3 where he just wants to sell his stuff , Asuka and Donald are also very level headed but that kind of makes then even scarier considering the things they ask you to do.
@@danilima6970 they didn't really give Phil his personality yet in GTA 3 as he was such a minor character in that game, I couldn't really describe him at all if all we got out of Phil was his GTA 3 appereance.
@@ginogatash4030 yeah that's the problem on developing the characters in prequels, we get this sense of something off,but I think It fits a bit, like he being a a old veteran arm dealer that settled down a bit. But yes Far funnier in vice city.
He started with Vice City Stories in 1984. Two years later, still in Vice City in 1986, lost an arm. Twelve years later, in 1998 in Liberty City, owns a gun shop in Staunton Island. Three years later, still in Liberty City in 2001, moved to the base area in Rockford.
Phil is a good man to Vic and Tommy, being a supporter to them in Vice City and Vice City stories. He is also a funny guy that sometimes gets drunk and do something that even risk his life(e.g. activate the boom shine when drunk and lost his arms)
I think Phil is the only character to be seen in game in the 3D era the most (As in being in more games than any other characters not including Lazlow)
It makes no sense, since he is the protagonist of Vice City Stories, which means you have to show the whole game. And in Vice City, he only appears for half a minute.
I love how R* turned what first seemed like a throw away character & joke into a iconic staple! It makes me wonder did they have Phil planned out from the start or liked the idea of a one armed man so much they decided to expand on him and his made up backstory about his arm!
"It was hell up on that ridge. We had bogeys everywhere and ammunition was running out real fast. I didn't know what was going on. I couldn't tell what was gonna happen. So I said to myself, Phil, I said because my name is Phil Cassidy they don't award Purple Hearts to liberal pinkos. Do what your grandpappy did, shoot everything that moves. I am proud to say, I killed everyone there." -Phil Cassidy
It was so hypocritical for rockstar to change logo on a shirt from a confederate flag to school even though they said they have no interest in SJW’s whatever
The inconsistency of his severed arm is mind boggling (or is it intended?) Edit: I intended to say that Phil's severed arm is somewhat curiosity piquing as to why Vice City depicted that he lost his right arm, not the other one
Man those vice city Stories moments were bizarre there's extra dialog added in and all the cars are the wrong colors the gun noises and pedestrian sounds are different too
in gta vice city stories Phil Cassidy looks older then in gta vice city for some reason and gta vice city stories take place in 1984 and gta vice city take place in 1986
Phil Cassidy is the character with most appearances in the 3D universe of GTA, appearing in 4 games. Making him the character who most protagonists met, being a total of 4, Victor Vance, Tommy Vercetti, Toni Cipriani and Claude Speed. Surpassing the 2nd and 3rd characters with more appearances in the 3D universe of GTA, being Donald Love (3 appearances, and meeting 3 protagonists, Tommy Vercetti, Toni Cipriani and Claude Speed) And 8-Ball, (3 appearances and meeting 3 protagonists too, Toni Cipriani, Mike and Claude Speed.) Truly a great side character with a great evolution through the years.
Vic: You're not gonna do anything stupid are you man? Phil: we're breaking into a military base and I'm drunk, what could be more stupid😂😭 VCS will always be the most underrated but best underrated GTA game of all time
Great Video my guy!!! I just found out after so many years since I played the game as a kid that Gary Busey (as of now my favorite actor) was the same charming Phil Cassidy. God bless that man 😂
The only thing i found a bit funny is that phil looks younger in vice city than in vice city stories because of the moustache lol. I know vice city stories is set before vice city though
Funny how he blew off his right arm, but was missing his left arm when he got out of the hummer. And then he mentions losing his arm in battle. I think he’s a phony lol
so basically in VC he loses his right arm, but in LCS and GTA 3 has his right arm..i don’t get it 😂😂btw really really good job with this video man, i’m subscribing asap ❤️🔥
Maybe he served in Nicaragua after Vice city. Supplying the us and Central American counter revolutionary guerrillas with firepower. but he was too embarrassed to admit that he lost his arm in a boom shine incident in Vice city. And so went with the lost arm in Nicaragua story there. Also I’m sure that he did encounter Ray in his us army uniform serving his country arming the guerrillas. It makes sense that he’s been building a weapons business across the east coast. Liberty city and carcer city. Maybe wanted to expand into San Andreas but I’m sure that it went nowhere. and that Rays actions against spank pushers made him a dead man for the cia to hunt him down.
my favorite gun man in gta games he is funny and i love his guns and i can't believe how he almost in evey gta games the only gta he didt' appear is gta sanandreas image if phil cassidy was in gta sanandreas is gonna be crazy he been '' hey Cjjjjjjjay! how you been doing (with drunk voice) ''😂😂
Soooo are we not gonna talk about how the guy in vice city was clearly not Phil? He had the opposite arm missing. He also implied he lost it in Nicaragua.
You need to stop Trolling for attention,It's obviously phil GTA 3,his backstory of him being In a war vet Nicaragua is a retcon,In vice city he briely brings up Nicaragua while high/drunk in the mission Boomshine Saigon
I have one fact : is after complications mission you see Michael had 7000 dollars from the prologue and Trevor had 100000 from prologue and I have one logic is when the 3 protagonist scream the mouth is not opening the sound effects coming from inside the head that's why people asking why Franklin have a weird square in his head that's the scream effect

Yea I didn’t like the one in liberty city stories or gta 3 one at all
Phil Cassidy was an amazing character, and Gary Busey's outstanding performance played a pretty big part in it.
Yes definitely
He started with Vice City Stories in 1984.
Two years later, still in Vice City in 1986, lost an arm.
Twelve years later, in 1998 in Liberty City, owns a gun shop in Staunton Island.
Three years later, still in Liberty City in 2001, moved to the base area in Rockford.

Phil lost his right arm in VC and somehow lost his left in LC but regrew his right
32:13 his left arm was off. I think it was a mistake in that cutscene where he lost his arm.
Phill Cassidy is my most favorite character in the entire GTA series. Fun, entertaining, yet still brave and loyal, always a big fan of him.
He is so underrated Phil. What a brute he has been in the GTA series.
