I barely knew New Zealand existed before the LotR movies came out. Sure, I'd heard the name of the country before, but yeah, it's definitely raised awareness.

Yeah, Hercules and Xena were made in NZ but they didnt exactly say "THIS SHOW WAS MADE IN NZ" but the Lord of The Rings did (sorta).

I know a lot (everything bluetongue.gif) about a lot (everything bluetongue.gif), so I had a pretty large understanding of New Zealand. The movies did nothing for me, but I am sure that it had increased awareness for others.

I knew about NZ a long time ago, probably in 1. grade(i was better in geography than my teacher, but she was kinda stupid biglaugh.gif ). But i voted yes, cause it probably has.

Well I've actually been there, so not for me, but generally it has raised awareness. It's such a massive phenomenon that wherever it was filmed would get quite a bit of publicity, but especially when it's as unexpected a move as filming it in NZ.

Well, when you live somewhere for 13 years, there's not much that can raise awareness of that place, so for me it hasn't raised awareness at all...But I'd say it has for the rest of the world.

Also, the Last Samurai was made here.

Great debate Traver. Next time, read the Mandate of Crescens:

There are plenty of forums that do allow spam. This is NOT one of them. If you post spam here, you will be warned, your topic will be closed (or deleted if Cspace authorizes it), and I will recommend to Cspace that you be banned from the debate forum.

If you disobey either of these rules, punishments will be inflicted. It is the obligation of any who post here to read and understand these two simple rules, and to comply with them. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.

Aye, Last Samurai was made here. See that big snowy rok in it? That is mount Taranaki. But it has been retarded by CG so it looks like Mt Fuji in the movie.
