Better Call Saul Episode Features Grand Theft Auto Easter Egg
In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, the popular AMC TV series Better Call Saul featured a small nod to Grand Theft Auto. In the episode "Bagman," there's a quick reference to one of Grand Theft Auto's most iconic vehicles, though it's so fast and so subtle that it would easily be missed by fans.
The vehicle in question is the Bravado Banshee, one of Grand Theft Auto 5's famous cars. The Banshee had been created as a part of a GameStop competition during Grand Theft Auto 5's launch in 2013, though the vehicle has since made its way into the hands of collectors at the Flat 12 gallery. The Banshee is a pretty striking ride, featuring bold blue coloring and a white racing stripe.
Again, the car is incredibly easy to miss. Grand Theft Auto 5 is full of Easter eggs itself, though seeing it get a clever little nod is interesting, even if it may not have been all that intentional. The gallery's garage was used for the shoot, so the fact the car is placed there is likely purely coincidental, though it has excited fans of the series.
Grand Theft Auto 6 rumors have been circulating quite a bit recently, though most– if not all– of them have seemed too far fetched to be believed. While it's now been an entire console generation since players got another Grand Theft Auto game, GTA 5 has remained immensely popular and profitable, so it makes sense that Rockstar is in no hurry for a followup game.
While fans can rest assured that Grand Theft Auto 6 will eventually release, after all, it would be insane of Rockstar not to make a follow up eventually, there's still a possibility that Rockstar has something else in the pipeline. Bully 2 rumors made their way around the internet fairly recently, and there are plenty of fans that would be happy to see it return.
Where a Grand Theft Auto reference will end up next is anyone's guess. GTA 5 is the most profitable entertainment product of all time, so it's certainly notable enough to earn a spot in movies and TV, just like Better Call Saul.
Grand Theft Auto V is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
