Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2006-08-14 15:16	For what it's worth, this is a Swiss rear plate. Front plates are much smaller. Xchange was filmed in Montreal, and front plates aren't needed in Quebec. Perhaps the producers wanted to put front plates on the cars to make Montreal look a bit more like New York, and for background cars they took whatever plates the prop rental companies happened to have. -- Last edit: 2006-08-14 15:17:08
