Plot hole: The Kaiju's EMP fries all electrical circuits next to him, and affects the base as well. If that's true, how did the helicopters carrying Gypsy survive the blast without having their electronics fried? EMP pulses induce current in all electronics regardless of whether they're powered on or not. (01:18:00)

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Ron Perlman, Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi
Pentecost and Hansen detonate their nuke, killing them and a kaiju near the portal. Mako and Raleigh ride through the portal with a category five kaiju. Raleigh ejects Mako's escape pod and manually activates Gipsy Danger's nuclear core. After he ejects, Gipsy Danger explodes, sealing the portal. Mako swims to Raleigh's escape pod and wakes him up. During the credits, Hannibal Chau slices his way out of the kaiju that ate him and asks where his shoe is.

More trivia for Pacific Rim
Question: Is it ever established why the Kaiju attack cities? Why they perceive a challenge, a threat, a resource worth taking there specifically? If they are a decent biochemical match to Earth life, and are hungry, why don't they attack schools of fish, or fishing/whaling vessels, if nothing else, they should attack the cannery row? If they are after a non-living resource, like minerals, why don't they root through the seabed or attack mines?

Chosen answer: Because they are scouts for an invasion of Earth from another dimension. They are testing our response to their arrival and military capabilities and the best way to attract military attention is to attack population centers.
