A perfect example of why you should ditch historical accuracy or realism to get epic scenes in movies lol

‌Guillermo del Toro's film Pacific Rim, where heavy robots beat up monsters


"Man, an epic robot movie needs even more epic scenes..."

"Rocket punch... no, just the elbow rocket isn't enough yet."

Visual Engineer: "What kind of scene should we include next time?"

"The robot swings an oil tanker or a cargo ship like a baseball bat."

"Our Gipsy Danger smashing a Kaiju's head with a cargo ship would be freaking awesome."

"But Director, Gipsy Danger is barely 100m tall, while oil tankers are at least several hundred meters long.
There will be errors in terms of scale and historical accuracy."

"Accuracy doesn't matter. If there's an epic scene, the audience will understand."
"I want to create scenes that are enthusiastic and exciting rather than realistic" ← These were his actual words

The scene that was born from that

"What even is accuracy? lol A giant robot is currently smashing a giant monster's head with a cargo ship, do we really need accuracy?"
