Here you can see Godzilla about to kick some ass on the corner of West Cordova and Thurlow:

I know that is Van / Vancouver towers, but it is "playing" as San Francisco.
i want to see Vancouver destroyed playing itself one day in a big movie.
Same goes for final destination, yes it was blatantly the Lions Gate / Van, but it was "fictional US city" location.
It annoys me even more when they do that and take no effort at all to make it look like somewhere else.
The movie 50/50 was the worst for that. The opening sequence of the main character jogging around all of Vancouver's famous site (Stanley Park, The Lions Gate, Coal Harbor) made it seem that for sure that movie was going to actually take place in Van, but nope, after that sequence direct shot of a "Seattle Times" newspaper box. The audience in the theatre actually burst out laughing when that was shown.
