Fake brick walls are flimsy vacuum-formed plastic sheets

The gritty, impenetrable brick alleyway where the tense standoff takes place would completely shatter if someone aggressively leaned on it.

They staple them to flimsy wooden frames, paint them red, and pray the wind doesn't knock the entire city block over.
