Featured Welsh Content
The character Dr. Ray De Angelo Harris mentions on his Chakra Attack show on the West Coast Talk Radio station that he had once been to Wales, but mistakenly refers to the country as Tibet. When questioned whether it was really Tibet he visited, Dr. Ray responds with some stereotypical Welsh descriptions:
“Oh, I don’t know! Some darn place with hills and sheep, and everyone singing in choirs, […] and they played a lot of rugby. Things like that. Tibetan stuff, you know. It was real cool. Played some Tibetan rugby. Ate some cheese on toast. Real Tibetan style, too, with legs all crossed.”
The mention of “cheese on toast” would refer to the Welsh rarebit dish, commonly associated with Wales.
According to the in-game Classic Vinewood website, a gangster movie called The Welshman was produced by Richards Majestic Productions.
Despite his Irish accent, the character Brother Adrian is Welsh, as indicated by the in-game Cultstoppers.com website.
The Imponte Dukes muscle car can be modified to have the Welsh flag design on its roof.
The Cheval Marshall monster truck can be obtained in a Wales livery variation, appearing with a green and red design, complete with national flag on the rear.
