So you're done with your usual lazy ad hominem attacks and once again resorting to vague racism? What a shocking turn of events.

In the wiki( talks about the graphic novel and directors thoughts. He mentions a Mexican Jaeger and wanted to include them and many more of the country/Jaegers into the movie but said in the end time limitations prevented many nations from being shown and a few only had short appearances/flash backs. Hell even Chile had a Jaeger and the US had like 10 different types at one time, but as far as Mexico goes one of the ones they had was the Matador Fury.

Racist, or a brilliant commentary on the industrialized prison system and the amount of potentially talented human beings wasting away in there due to corrupt laws designed more to keep thebusinessof prison running than to truly help society?
Layers inside of layers. Even the things they couldn't fit in the movie really make you think about the world we live in.

One of my coworkers used to live in Guadalajara and he told me that Mexico still has prison islands off the Pacific coast with hundreds of criminals living in old bunkhouses.

Shame they didn't film this; Danny Trejo would have been amazing as a Jaeger pilot.

John Leguizamo as the other one. It would have been awesome, 2 convicts fighting to save... what are they saving again?

woah....that wiki is great. And it helps to make the movie look much worse.
i mean, i read the wiki....and everything makes much more sense. The alien strategy, how the arriving of category 3 and 4 changed everything (multiple times a single category 4 was able to destroy 2 jaeger), how we were basically killing ourself using nuclear weapons against the kaiju etc etc...everything looks much more coherent and don't give you the idea they created the story out of a 15 mins meeting
the movie spent fucktons of times on boring characters and conversations instead of showing us the "lore"
just remove those 2 fucking scientists and the black market guy and you have 20/30 more minutes to actually show us something interesting
fuck hollywood and the need of comic reliefs in every damn movie
