    With all those crushed up cars and whatnot, I'm starting to wonder if Hong Kong will end up in the same state as Chicago.

    the only problem i have with the crushed car setup is that they all have the wheeled platforms under them and the tipped truck and trailer is on another trailer lol. I hope that if they are left like this, they remember to edit that stuff out and not leave it like they did in DOTM with the wreckers racing past the camera rig lol

    Seems to prove that it doesn't take place in Chi town Chinatown.

    No doubt CGI will be used to make the distant backgrounds more like Hong Kong.

    They might pile up rubble to hide the trailers that those cars are piled on. FWIW, I believe many if not all the wrecked cars used in movies like this are from flood-damage claims. Cheap and plentiful.

    Notice that those trailers ARE the rubble. Also, with basic editing you won't need that much CGI. Combine Hong Kong location footage, Detroit stunt and pyrotechnics shots, CGI robots. You don't really need to make a digital Hong Kong.

    They should've put Carly on the Victoria's Secret billboard. Would of been a nice easter egg.
