 GEOG: Although the film is set in Detroit, there are at least two  instances of shots that show that Hamilton, Ontario is standing in  for the Motor City. Early in the film, when Boyd and his partner are  driving through "Detroit", there is a clearly visible marquee  showing the logo of Skydome, a stadium in Toronto. Just as the movie  ends, in the street scene where Boyd departs, the bar across the  street has a sign with the letters "L.L.B.O.," for Liquor Licensing  Board of Ontario, on it. During the chase Tim Hortons is visible,  too (this particular store is located at the corner of Hughson and  King Street East in Hamilton, Ontario).
