[edit] Why LA?

I always wondered why they changed from New York of the first 2 movies to LA in this one. The next movie "Conquest" takes place in LA also with the name "Central City" I presume since it was filmed in Century City, LA. This leads to a major break when the bomb being worshiped in the second movie is shown in the fifth but now they are in 2 very different ruins. Ben

The first two movies were set in the ruins of New York, but they — and this one, and all the films — were filmed in California. When they switched from the desert setting to a modern, domestic area, it was simply more feasible to use LA. Conquest takes place in a generic cityscape, so there's no real continuity error there; it could theoretically be New York just as much as it could, theoretically, be LA.--SB | T 02:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
