Is this a sign that NYC is already beginning to look like every other city?

How come they have no movies where Toronto is actually supposed to be Toronto?

I didn't notice a Starbucks, Duane Reade and Chase Bank on both sides of every single block, either.

We have fond memories of Sam the Record Man. (Wait, this isn't Torontoist!) The fire truck isn't even close to FDNY specs, let alone the logo on the door or the close but not quite striping. Ladder 4 has been called 4 Truck for as long as I can remember and if you take a look at their rig it looks nothing like the fake one. The one pictured appears to be an old 1970s or 1980s vintage Seagrave rear mount aerial. In the 1970s and 1980s the FDNY basically used two vendors for apparatus, Mack and ALF. If memory serves most, if not all of the ladder trucks were Macks. Now did the producers get the MTA's approval for the use of the MTA logo in the film? If not the MTA should sue.

The foreshortening of Times Sq and Harlem is astounding

"Reeking" havoc? That must be one smelly beast. CTV? Big network in New York.

After the disaster that was the first Hulk movie, they're still doing another one? Gluttons for punishment. Then again, they don't have the terminally overrated Ang Lee directing this one.
