Corrected entry: When Pentecost is speaking to the Pan-Pacific council, Great Britain is shown as one of the representatives. Great Britain is in the Atlantic Ocean, and therefore not a Pan-Pacific nation. (00:17:50)

Corrected entry: Why did it take over a decade for someone to decide to attack the fissure the Kaiju used to travel between their world and Earth? Even if direct bomb attacks failed, wouldn't someone have at least thought of covering tons of rubble over the fissure to block the Kaiju from coming through? Or since it's the only place that the Kaiju appear from, why not set a perimeter of bombs around the fissure and detonate them every time a Kaiju came through? The ending already demonstrated that the Kaiju could be killed via explosion.
Correction: It did not take a decade. It was stated numerous times that similar attempts had been made and all had failed. It can therefore be logically assumed that similar strategies to those this submission suggests were also attempted but each also failed for whatever reason. We weren't show any of this because it's an action movie, not a historical study of the Kaiju wars.

Corrected entry: The winged Kaiju in Hong Kong was capable of spitting out a corrosive liquid which destroyed the Russian Jaeger and melted the side of a building, and yet the Gipsy Danger's hand was unaffected after it ripped the corrosive sac from the Kaiju (preventing it from spitting any more liquid afterwards), despite the fact that corrosive liquid was spilled all over it.

Correction: Great Britain may not have a Pacific coast, but they are a nation wealthy enough to have their own Jaeger program, and would therefore have a place on the council. It's just the name of the organization, not a requirement for membership.
