    Shared Military equipment. At the Shatterdome in Hong Kong you had US, Chinese, Russian, British etc equipment all over the base. As long as a helo has the lifting capacity for its share, any helo will do.

    I wanna see a Jeager on Jeager battle. I'm sure that would practically be porn at this point.

    So excited! No idea what's behind that door but I'm VERY happy the sequel isn't in development hell anymore. (Didn't know until just now) Here's hoping the next two are as mind-blowingly awesome as the first one. Reset that clock, guys!

    The first one must have just barely passed the break even point and now that want to make two more? Hope it doesn't bite them in the ass.

    It did big overseas

    Pacific Rim grossed $101.8 million in North America, and has had a favorable international release, grossing $309.2 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $411,002,906.

    Ironically China loved Pacific Rim while Japan was rather lukewarm to it.

    The helicopters still make me laugh.

    Way to stereotype japanese interests. Not everyone there is a robot loving Otaku.

    It did big in China partly because it took place in China.

    I wonder how many Jaegers and Kaiju we'll get this time. First film highlighted five of them, plus a few backgrounds, contrasting about eight highlighted Kaiju and a bunch of backgrounds.

    Uprising certainly isn't as good as Maelstrom. Far more generic sounding.

    Also, why not just actually post the titles and not just link to the same story in both threads? For that matter, why didn't Superherohype just put the titles in the article title?

    Uprising isn't nearly as good/clever as Maelstrom. Guess that was just the working title. :/

    Oh cool I like Karl Urban, but Rinko Kikuchi being back actually has me legitimately excited.
