Cassy: Does anybody have an example with Vancouver? I mean... Vancouver has the biggest Chinatown in North America... after San Francisco... Help with my ego... :b
- On a more constructive note: it alright to cite Pet Shop Of Horrors and its sequel as aversions? "Come to Chinatown, a place of mysteries and dangers where everything is possible"...
Silent Hunter: Vancouver- not off the top of my head.
As for Pet Shop Of Horrors- go for it.
(edited previous post to remove the {{ }}, it made it look wrong)
Cassy: OK, thanks! I added Pet Shop of Horrors to the main page.
Nornagest: As far as I can tell, that's not an aversion — the "friendly local" bit of the title has essentially nothing to do with the trope itself. Pet Shop Of Horrors seems to use Chinatown as a symbol of dangerous exoticism, which is just a slightly scarier variant of what most directors are going for with it.
