The Hulk Takes on New York...in Toronto

Hitting the big screen in June, The Incredible Hulk is primed to be one of this summer's big blockbusters. But don't expect the big green guy to be wreaking havoc on the real New York, as Torontoist points out, the film was shot in Canada. Even this chalk artist, who would have totally been arrested for pulling this in New York, has The Hulk carrying a Canadian flag.

Pictured is the Yonge strip, which is mostly untouched, and those familiar with the area will notice Toronto's Big Slice restaurant, Sam the Record Man, Le Chateau, and the Zanzibar strip club in the shot; an Apollo sign was raised to bring in the New York feel. The FDNY trucks look similar to the real thing, except the emblem on the door is not supposed to be circular -- but even with the Toronto phone numbers left on signs and the non-New York buildings and billboards staying in the shots, it's still better than Spider-Man riding the El train through midtown.
