Another photo from the Sonic 2019 movie set.  Looks like they actually flipped MULTIPLE cars.

Folks have pointed out the swastikas on the building’s facade – the “Hillsman Hotel” is the movie’s name for a building actually called the Traveller’s Hotel.  I looked it up, and it turns out the building was built in 1913, back when the swastika was still known as a symbol of peace and prosperity, before WWII associated the term with Nazism.  Here’s where I got that information.

I wonder if the film crew plans to edit them out of the final cut? It would certainly be easier than to hope everybody watching the film the world over understands this bit of obscure history from such a small town as Ladysmith.

They’ll probably edit them out, but I can’t help but wonder if they’ll be used to teach Sonic about how a symbol for peace was twisted into something evil somehow.

…all due respect, I think that might get a little too real for a Sonic the Hedgehog movie. XD

Sonic vs the Nazis like a WW II propaganda film.

Sonic says: Buy Bonds!
