Toronto or Hong Kong - Can You Tell the Difference?

This post is related to my review of 'Pacific Rim.'

'Pacific Rim' is primarily set in Hong Kong, a city in Asia. They speak Cantonese (Chinese) there. It's the world's fourth most densely populated sovereign state or territory. 7.3 million people live in a land area of 427 sq mi. Was it filmed in Hong Kong? That would make sense. They have a thriving film industry and a little USD goes a long way there. But it wasn't.

Instead, filming was done in Toronto, a city in North America. They speak English there. About one-third of Hong Kong's population (2.7 million) live in 243.3 sq mi. Also, as someone who has been to *both* cities, I can say that the architecture of the 2 cities is not alike. It doesn't seem like director Del Toro really cared about that authenticity. Or perhaps he just didn't do very much research...

But maybe it's me. How about you decide: Toronto or Hong Kong?
