Factual error: The coastal wall in Sydney is shown as being inside the Sydney Harbour (right next to the Opera House). But Sydney Harbour is not on the Pacific coast but a part of the Parramatta river, several kilometres from the ocean (where the wall should have been). So the wall is either not shielding the northern part of Australia or (more likely) the producers decided that the audience cannot tell that it is Sydney unless we see the Opera House.
Pacific Rim (2013)
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.

Stacker Pentecost: Today at the edge of our hope, at the end of our time. We have chosen to believe in each other. Today we face the monsters that are at our door, today we are cancelling the apocalypse!
Trivia: Crimson Typhoon was originally planned to have four arms and be piloted by female quadruplets. However, the producers couldn't find any.
Question: What I don't get about this movie is when ever they fight one of these giant monsters, why do they always engage in hand to hand combat for most of the fight? Its not until the end of most of the battles that they remember they have weapons to fire at these beasts and kill them which works with the category 1-3 beasts just fine. Why not just shoot the things?

Chosen answer: Most likely they only use it when they know they have a guaranteed shot and won't waste it. It can't be reloaded that easily. Like having one bullet to kill a zombie vs a sword so go for the sword save the bullet it's more valuable. That's typical military tactics. Possible firing whatever weapons could cost a ridiculous amount of money just like missiles do. It's not exactly like Yeager weapons were mass produced they are all different. Last reason is reducing extra casualties by making sure they don't miss when they fire or making firing weapons the last resort. And just for the movie's sake it would be boring as crap if they just blew the heads off in seconds.
