Iron Man is a 2008 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the armored Super Hero. Directed by Jon Favreau (Elf, Zathura), the movie went on to become the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and, retroactively, the first chapter of both Phase 1 and the Infinity Saga Myth Arc.After being captured by terrorists following a missile demonstration in Afghanistan, multi-billionaire Tony Stark uses his brilliant intellect to devise a powered armor to escape. Being an irresponsible, wealthy playboy before, he (literally) has a change of heart regarding his company policies and dedicates himself to cleaning up Stark Industries' patented weapons and taking care of the terrorist group that got their hands on them. To do so, he builds an even better suit of armor. However, not everyone in his company likes the new direction he's chosen.The film also stars Terrence Howard as Lt. Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes, Tony's friend and liaison to Stark Industries, Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane, Tony's business partner, and Gwyneth Paltrow as Virginia "Pepper" Potts, Tony's assistant.The film is followed by The Incredible Hulk, in which Stark makes a cameo in The Stinger, the 2010 sequel Iron Man 2, and Tony takes part in the 2012 Crossover film The Avengers. 2013 saw the release of the second official follow-up, Iron Man 3. Tony is next seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015, Captain America: Civil War in 2016, Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 and Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

Rage Against the Reflection: Tony has been driven to a state of Tranquil Fury listening to a news report of Ten Rings terrorists causing villagers to flee Gulmira because he knows they are using Stark Industries weapons. At one point he is standing by the glass wall of his workshop as the news reporter says "There is very little hope for these refugees, refugees who can only wonder who, if anyone, can help." Tony turns to catch his reflection in the glass leading him to shoot out the glass wall with his repulsor. He then suits up in the Mark III and takes off for Gulmira.

Trailers Always Spoil: Paramount marketing put this movie on a heavy trailer rotation for a clean month before the US release, allowing a lot of people to figure out many of the plot elements. Obadiah Stane being the villain isn't made clear until later on in the movie. His lighting and expression on the official poster is a near giveaway though.

Tony's assistant, Pepper Potts, walks into his lab just as he's testing one of the repulsor beams in the suit's gloves. The recoil throws Tony off screen and you hear him hit the far wall a couple seconds later. Pepper's reaction, mainly her complete lack of concern for his safety, is what really sells it.

Injured Self-Drag: After Obadiah Stane steals Tony Stark's Mark 2 chest-piece and leaves Tony with his heart failing, the rapidly-weakening Tony can only save his life by getting to the Mark 1 chest-piece that's stored in his lab. He has to cover the last thirty feet or so this way, because he no longer has the strength to stand or even crawl.

Artistic License – Biology: The shrapnel working its way toward Tony's heart is held back by an electromagnet that is somehow just powerful enough to hold it in place but not powerful enough to pull it back toward the magnet over time even though jagged metal would tend to shift and thus cut through body tissue pretty readily as Tony does active superheroics.

Twist Ending: Most superhero movies end with the hero's Secret Identity intact, but at the end of the first film, Stark reveals it to the world. This is even after the comic book "bodyguard" explanation is devised as a cover... which is dismissed by both Stark and one of the reporters, remarking on how ridiculous it is.

Beta Outfit: Tony Stark builds the first suit while held captive by the Ten Rings terrorists. It is big and bulky due to both being a mechanical prototype, and as a nod to the original Iron Man suit in the comics. After getting back to the city he makes a chrome unpainted prototype before building the iconic final form of the suit out of a gold alloy and deciding to paint much of it hotrod red. The prototype chrome suit goes on to become the War Machine suit.

Floorboard Failure: Tony underestimates the weight of his Mark II suit and the structural integrity of his house so that his attempted landing causes him to crash through his roof straight down to his basement workshop taking out a piano and sports car along the way. As added insult, Robot Buddy Dum-E blasts him in the face with a fire extinguisher. Again.

The Cameo: In The Stinger, Samuel L. Jackson makes his debut as Nick Fury. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave is the very first person to be assaulted by Iron Man. Stan Lee gets mistaken for Hugh Hefner at the charity ball. A deleted scene features Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan. The music video for his Tony Stark-themed song "Slept on Tony" plays on Tony's private plane when Tony and Rhodey decide to have some drinks. Peter Billingsley of A Christmas Story gets a scene as the scientist tasked with replicating Tony's arc reactor for Obadiah. Billingsley is a long-time friend and producing partner of Favreau, and received an executive producer credit on this movie.

Tanks for Nothing: A Downplayed example. An enemy tank does succeed in knocking Iron Man out of the sky with a shell and he is shown emerging from his impact crater with blast marks on his scuffed up armor. However, Iron Man easily avoids the tank's next volley and launches his own mini-missile at it. He then turns away from the tank to begin his Unflinching Walk as the tank explodes.

How Do I Shot Web?: The middle third of the film is Tony trying to figure out how to fly. The Mark I armor doesn't so much fly as rocket skyward and then fall, and after building his boot jets for the Mark II armor, Tony invents the repulsors to act as flight stabilizers, and then after that there's the icing problem.

Chekhov's Gun
 Iron Man / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Tony Stark builds an arc reactor to power the electromagnet that protects his heart, then upgrades the unit by having his secretary, Pepper, install a larger version in his chest. He tells her to throw the small unit away, but Pepper has it put in a display case for him. The miniature reactor becomes crucial later on, when Obadiah Stane takes the larger reactor from Tony's chest while he's paralyzed, and he must rely on the smaller model to power his suit and his heart. The flares that the Iron Man armor uses to stop missile fire are also used in the final fight to escape from the Iron Monger's Bear Hug. The giant arc reactor powering the Stark Industries lab. When Stane's scientists can't miniaturise it for the Iron Monger suit, he just steals Tony's, and at the end, Pepper overloads it to finally defeat Stane. The terrorists appear to make a standard ransom demand video after capturing Tony Stark. As noted under Bilingual Bonus, they're actually annoyed that Obadiah didn't tell them exactly who they'd been hired to kill, and are trying to demand more money from him.

Later, one of Stark Industries' scientists tells Stane the same thing in a context that's not even remotely funny, especially after Spider-Man: Far From Home reveals that said scientist left the company and turned evil due to constantly being berated like this.

Mythology Gag
 Iron Man / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The music that plays in the casino is an instrumental big band cover of Iron Man's theme song from The Marvel Super Heroes. The first suit of armor Tony builds looks very similar to Iron Man's original appearance in the Tales of Suspense comics. The terrorist group's name, "The Ten Rings", is a reference to Iron Man's Arch-Enemy the Mandarin, who had magic rings on each finger. The "bodyguard" excuse at the end of the movie is taken from the story used in the early comics by Tony to explain why Iron Man was always hanging around Stark Industries (and Tony in particular). The lead F-22 Raptor pilot's callsign is "Whiplash One"; Whiplash was an Iron Man villain and became the villain in the sequel. During the final battle, a Roxxon Corporation building and a movie billboard featuring Fin Fang Foom can be seen in the background. "I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative". Nick Fury did not simply mention The Avengers; Avengers: The Initiative was a comic book that began in 2007.

Taught by Experience: Stark overrides Jarvis' intention to run a complete diagnostic suite on the new Mark II armor and takes it straight out for a test flight in order get a feel for the new design and whatever flaws it may have. Fortunately, Stark is able to adapt to all the problems he encounters during his flight. By contrast, the Iron Monger, when first donning his armor had no understanding of how to pilot the suit or even shoot straight. With his auto-targeting systems off-line, he can't even hit a human-sized target at six meters with automatic weapons or explosives. The icing problem caught him by surprise, as well.

comment
Funny Background Event: A Black Comedy example, but in the scene where Pepper swaps out Tony's Arc Reactor for the upgraded model, when she mishandles the copper wire and then yanks out the electromagnet, the heart monitor behind them buzzes and shifts from a steady heart pulse to delivering a full page of red text. Bonus points in that his Robot Buddy has been holding a light to illuminate the chest procedure but the flashlight head is actually angled toward Tony's face. Reporter Christine Everheart is immediately skeptical of the cover story about Iron Man being Tony's bodyguard. At the press conference after Tony suddenly announces that he is Iron Man, there's a shot of all the reporters leaping forward to shout excited questions at Tony — except for Christine, who remains seated, completely unsurprised by the reveal.

Benevolent A.I.: All of Tony's A.I. creations, from JARVIS to the armature robot, Dum-E, are not only extremely helpful, but extremely affable too. Dum-E, a mobile robotic arm, behaves like a faithful dog. After Tony's upgraded mini-arc reactor is stolen, Tony is scrambling to reach his older original reactor, but can't reach it. Tony crumples to the ground, about to die, when the robotic arm fetches it for him, and whimpers like a dog concerned about his owner. Tony smiles and says "Good boy!" Another robotic arm, U (or You), serves as Tony's videographer.

Flight Is the Final Power
 Iron Man / int_2b1db021
comment
Flight Is the Final Power: Explored; Most of the weapons Tony puts into his armor were already engineered, and the only real issue is getting the suit flight-capable. It takes several (sometimes painful) tests before he can finally fly, and even then Tony flies too high and the suit malfunctions from icing over. In the fight with Iron Monger, he tricks him into making the same mistake.

Awesome, but Impractical: According to Stane, Arc Reactor technology is a clean and powerful source of energy that was not cost-effective and served as little more than a publicity stunt "to shut the hippies up" but was considered a dead-end technology. Subverted big time when Tony was able to build a miniature one "in a cave with a box of scraps".

Omniscient Database: Variant; when Pepper Potts is asked by Tony to hack into the Stark Industries mainframe from his office computer, she is able to instantly translate the soundtrack of a foreign language video into appropriately accented English by typing in "Translate" on the video viewer's window. This is a case of Shown Their Work — New Scientist checked up the plausibility of this and found that there are programs in development that do the same thing, if not quite so smoothly just yet, nor knowing the accent to use.

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Avoided in every way the writers could think of. The first suit and its plans are recovered and used as a basis for Stane's Iron Monger. Stark has two functional suits in his house, and the facilities to build a new one from scratch in five hours. If not for Pepper's leaving the original mini-arc reactor as a gift to Tony, Obadiah would have successfully left Tony for dead.

Actor Allusion

Actor Allusion: Tony Stark is seen munching on Burger King burgers after he's rescued. While on a bender, Robert Downey Jr. was driving around with a trunk full of drugs and stopped by a Burger King to get something to eat. He took one bite and found the burger to be so disgusting that he had to stop and take a moment to seriously consider what he was doing with his life. Realizing that he needed to shape up and take responsibility for himself, he immediately drove to the ocean and threw out the drugs he'd just bought and proceeded to clean up his life. Downey had the Burger King products placed in the film to acknowledge how the company played a role in his getting healthy enough to play Tony Stark. When Tony tells Colonel Rhodes, "Looks like someone did your job for you," referencing Terrence Howard's earlier role in The Brave One. Jeff Bridges plays nice piano at Tony's house. He plays even better when Michelle Pfeiffer is lying on top of it. When Pepper is at Obadiah's computer, and there are folders marked "Lebowski".

Tranquil Fury: While watching a news report on the Ten Rings terrorists causing villagers to flee Gulmira, the home of Yinsen, who sacrificed himself for Tony, the audience can see anger building within him because he knows they are using Stark Industry weapons. During the scene, Tony doesn't say a word but the camera is focused on his face and in his eyes you can see a burning rage growing until he stands and unleashes his first repulsor blast. Realizing that his flight stabilizers can also serve as a weapon, Tony suits up in the Mark III and takes off for Gulmira.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Iron Man / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: This film presents S.H.I.E.L.D. as a newly-formed organization that's still deciding on its name. Later films present the organization as having been an active force in the US Government since shortly after World War II, having been named after Captain America's iconic weapon. Tony is implied, especially in the novelisation, to have had a very good relationship with his father. Subsequent movies in the MCU give him more daddy issues. Visually, the film has a decidedly more "2000s" look to it, the natural end result of it being filmed and released in the late 2000s, when film stock was starting to be phased out in favor of digital cinematography; consequently, the look of it may throw off anyone used to the look of the digitally-filmed movies from Phase 2 onwards. Because the film was largely improvisational due to constant seat-of-the-pants writing and no real concrete plans for a shared universe, Iron Man has a more conversational, free-wheeling feel to its dialogue than the MCU films to follow. Characters constantly interject and talk over one another, whether with jokes or exposition, in contrast to the Marvel Studios' signature house style of trading well-placed one-liners and load-bearing dialogue. The film's tone is also somewhat grittier and more realistic than most subsequent MCU movies, in part due to its lower budget, and also because the superhero genre was just beginning a shift from the more serious style generally employed by the X-Men film series and The Dark Knight Trilogy, towards the more light-hearted and fun approach that would become largely standard for the genre in the 2010s. Terrence Howard plays Colonel Rhodes, whereas he was replaced with Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2. While he only appears in still photographs, Howard Stark is portrayed by Gerard Sanders. He would later be played by Dominic Cooper as a young man and John Slattery in other appearances. The movie is steeped in The War on Terror; later MCU movies would avoid being topical or overtly political. The film gives us The Stinger that we have come to expect from Marvel shows and movies (which DC would later start to adopt as well in some places), but it only has one and it comes all the way at the end of the credits. Hence, a lot of people missed it, which only served to generate more buzz and speculation.

Technology Porn: The Movie. The lovingly rendered sequences of Tony suiting up are enough to generate a pure unadulterated Nerdgasm. Many other tech-heavy scenes can be enjoyed throughout the film, but these easily take the cake.

Cast from Hit Points: The arc reactor that powers the suit also keeps Tony's heart going, which means that the longer he battles the closer to cardiac arrest he gets. Tony wisely changes this in the sequels so the suits have their own reactors.

Invincible Hero: Tony deconstructs this. His Mk. I suit is strong, but is vulnerable from the back and gets stuck in the wall of the cave on his way out. He also manages to skyrocket his way out, but ends up lost in the desert, surrounded by the shards of his shattered armor. His final fight pits him against Stane in an more weaponized version of his armor without his upgraded miniaturized arc reactor, vulnerable and about to die.

Bookends: Tony's escape from the Ten Rings in the first act and his battle with Iron Monger in the third involve Tony's "box of scraps" makeshift arc reactor in his suit; unlike his properly-built reactor, the original has a small finite power when utilized for combat purposes, leaving Tony with only limited time to achieve his goal before it runs out of juice and kills him.

Chest Blaster: Tony uses this during the climax to blast Stane out from under the car he's holding. It's one of the extremely few appearances in the films of the Unibeam; in the comics, Tony's chest plate can project not only a searchlight but various kinds of energy. When Iron Man really needs to blast someone or something, the Unibeam fires a super-sized repulsor ray.

Not His Sled: For years in the comic, Tony used the cover story that Iron Man was an employee of his using the suit to act as his bodyguard/corporate security. So comic fans would have had every right to be surprised when the movie ends with Tony dismissing this manufactured excuse and instead simply coming out and confessing "I am Iron Man".

Adaptation Distillation: Pulls together a lot of Iron Man story elements over the years. The evolution of the armor throughout the film parallels the first three or four Iron Man suits in the comics (which were introduced over the course of twenty or so issues). Pepper Potts and Jim Rhodes were rarely part of Tony's inner circle at the same time in the comics. Tony's origin takes place in Afghanistan rather than Vietnam (an update taken from Ellis' Extremis story) and the thugs are hinted to be involved with the Mandarin (a bit like in The Invincible Iron Man or the 90s cartoon).

Disney Villain Death: Double Subverted with Iron Monger. After Tony lures him to fly high enough to encounter the icing problem, we see the frozen Iron Monger plummet down into the city. Tony himself considers him finished as he lands back on the Stark Industries roof and starts removing his armor because he's almost out of power. Cue the sudden reappearance of the Iron Monger and the true Final Battle. In his second fall, however, he's not as lucky, as he crashes directly onto the Arc Reactor, causing an explosion that undoubtedly finishes him off. And that's supposing the energy of the reactor released earlier only knocked him out.

Diligent Hero, Slothful Villain
 Iron Man / int_66ec693b
comment
Diligent Hero, Slothful Villain: This is one of the things (beside their feelings about murder and terrorism) that distinguishes Tony Stark from Obadiah Stane. Tony built his Iron Man suits himself, with painstaking work and research over several scenes and montages. In contrast, Obadiah steals Tony's technology to build the Iron Monger suit, doesn't do the work himself, berates and belittles his employees who make the suit for him, and rushes it into use when it's not properly tested. This culminates in a satisfyingly symbolic fashion when they fight in the upper atmosphere, and the Iron Monger suit freezes over due to the "icing problem" that Tony's hard work had already solved for his suit.

Bigger Stick: Invoked when Tony is talking to the reporter about his father: "Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy." This speech comes back to bite him when the Ten Rings kidnaps and forces him to build them a big stick Jericho Missile to outstrip everyone else's weapons. The Big Bad attempts to build a bigger stick with the Iron Monger armor based on the remnants of Tony's Mark I suit with mixed results. It's professionally manufactured, has more weapons, a targeting system and a more reliable flight system. However, it lacks the upgrades Tony made to his later Iron Man suits such as repulsors and ice protection and ultimately lacks an arc reactor to power it, forcing the Big Bad to steal one from Tony.

 Iron Man / int_723be11b
comment
Villain Has a Point: Up until the third act where he steals Tony's arc reactor and leaves him for dead (not to mention all his subsequent actions), Stane's reasons for his villainy are perfectly understandable. Putting a hit on Tony is extreme, but consider Tony is an Idle Rich playboy who yet gets all the fame and credit for the success of Stark Industries, as well as the fact that upon his return from Afghanistan Tony announces he's shutting down the weapons division of Stark Industries, the company's focus for decades, with no plans for what the company is going to do instead, and he keeps a technological breakthrough like the arc reactor secret and for his own private use. No wonder Stane wants to get rid of Tony, he's reckless and damaging to the company Stane helped his father build. (Much of this is subverted by the fact that everything but the fame-and-credit part was a result of Stane's assassination attempt.)

Icarus Allusion: During the first test flight of the Mark II armor, Tony decides to try and break the SR-71's altitude record. Jarvis warns him of fatal ice buildup, but Stark keeps pushing higher causing his systems to short out and he plummets earthward barely able to shake off the ice and reboot his systems before fatal impact.

Shooting Superman
 Iron Man / int_781f2467
comment
Shooting Superman: Downplayed. Although the Iron Man armor does its job in protecting Tony, significant firepower does introduce a case of predictably realistic outcomes. The Mark I does an adequate job at first but eventually Tony starts to be overwhelmed by the terrorist's unrelenting gunfire and is driven to his knees before he ignites his rockets to escape. The Mark III survives the mission to Gulmira but the armor is quite pockmarked and damaged enough that Tony has a hard time removing it.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Iron Man / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: There was a scene planned for the climax where Iron Man drives his Audi into Iron Monger, where it flips and he breaks the roof in half and jumps out. The effects team found that A) the car was too well-engineered to flip, and B) the roof was too difficult to cut through. The entire scene was scrapped. Yes, that's right, the Product Placement car was (in a sense) Too Awesome to Use. The unfinished version of this scene can be found on the DVD and, hilariously enough, it references the above flaw: the first thing Tony says to Rhodes is "Did you flip it?", to which Rhodey incredulously responds "No, I didn't flip it!"

Amusing Injuries
 Iron Man / int_78c895c8
comment
Amusing Injuries: Tony sets the suit's thrusters to ten percent power, and is slammed against the ceiling hard enough that, realistically, he should have broken at least a few bones, either from that or from the subsequent face-first fall on the floor. Tony's assistant, Pepper Potts, walks into his lab just as he's testing one of the repulsor beams in the suit's gloves. The recoil throws Tony off screen and you hear him hit the far wall a couple seconds later. Pepper's reaction, mainly her complete lack of concern for his safety, is what really sells it.

Join or Die: This is how the Ten Rings recruits. They attack villages and either kill or capture the men. Then, they take their women and children to an unknown location where they're used as hostages. The men are asked to join them, with their families' lives, as well as their own, on their line if they refuse. This is Truth in Television for many terrorist groups and militaristic regimes.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Tony helped to design and build many of the weapons being used by the Ten Rings. Iron Man unintentionally causes the destruction of an Air Force F-22 that attempted to intercept him (before they knew he was a good guy). But once that happened, he made sure to catch up to the pilot's ejection seat and free up a jammed component, saving the pilot's life.

As part of his Establishing Character Moment, Tony is very friendly to the lower enlisted airmen assigned to drive him back to the airfield after the Jericho demonstration. He insisted on trying to get to know them, even though they were clearly prepared to ride the whole way in silence. It adds a human face to his later decision to shut down his weapons program (as they were among those killed by Stark technology).

How We Got Here: We start with Tony Stark in a military convoy that gets ambushed and he is the sole survivor from his vehicle. He gets out and is trying to get to safety when a Stark Industries missile lands nearby and explodes leaving shrapnel in his chest. After a brief white-out fade, we see Tony tied to a chair surrounded by terrorists reading their demands. Cue title card. We then go back 36 hours to look at the events leading up to this ambush.

Small Role, Big Impact: Yinsen. He only appeared for a small part of this movie and made a brief cameo in Iron Man 3. He shares almost as much responsibility for the creation of Iron Man (and by extension the entire MCU) as Tony himself — not only by keeping Tony alive, but by driving him to become a better person.

Hey, Wait!: Pepper is copying incriminating data onto her thumb-drive as Obadiah enters the room. She manages to distract him as the copying completes and hides the thumb-drive in a newspaper. She gets up to the office door when she suddenly hears "Is that today's paper?" and he comes over to claim it. A downplayed example in that Obadiah fully suspects something is going on, but Pepper manages to palm the thumb-drive in time. However, she only really escapes because Agent Coulson is waiting for her in the lobby for an appointment she made earlier and forgot about.

Macross Missile Massacre: Stark Industries' Jericho missile is basically a tactical MIRV system that breaks apart shortly after launch to unleash a massive barrage of smaller, independent warheads which then seek out their individual targets. This way a single missile is enough to vaporize an entire ridge during the weapon's first demonstration. It's later seen deployed in combat to terrifying effect by the Ten Rings terrorists.

Broken Armor Boss Battle: While fighting Stane in the Iron Monger suit, Tony was using his older arc reactor that had limited energy and couldn't use powerful attacks. He attempts to disable the Iron Monger suit using high altitude icing but that gambit fails. While running only on emergency backup power, Tony rips off an exposed power line on the Iron Monger's neck, shutting off its visual systems and forcing Stane to open the armor and expose himself so he can aim.

Taken even further when Iron Man 3 reveals that Tony has put in a wine cellar beneath his garage, along with an armory built specifically for his numerous Iron Man suits.

The Big Bad attempts to build a bigger stick with the Iron Monger armor based on the remnants of Tony's Mark I suit with mixed results. It's professionally manufactured, has more weapons, a targeting system and a more reliable flight system. However, it lacks the upgrades Tony made to his later Iron Man suits such as repulsors and ice protection and ultimately lacks an arc reactor to power it, forcing the Big Bad to steal one from Tony.

Improv: According to Jeff Bridges, there was no script and the entire movie was improvised. Bridges said he had problems getting his head around this style of filmmaking until he told himself to think of it as "a $200 million student film". In an interview, director Jon Favreau confirmed that there was no completed script, and he wrote and rewrote many scenes during production. However, while most of the dialogue scenes were improvised, the action scenes were thoroughly planned out.

Chekhov's Skill
 Iron Man / int_acecb17d
comment
Chekhov's Skill: Tony is testing the Mark II armor's flight capabilities and impulsively decides to break the altitude record. He fails because the suit builds up a layer of ice which shorts out its systems; Tony incorporates a fix for this in the Mark III design. Later in the movie, he lures the Iron Monger to similar altitudes, causing that armor to freeze up while his own suit is protected. According to the writers, the icing problem was in very real danger of becoming an unfired Chekhov's gun until they saw the finished cut and decided the climactic showdown would be stronger if it were fired.

Setting Update: As originally written, Iron Man's origin took place during the Vietnam War. Due to The War on Terror, the film replaces the Communists with Middle Eastern terrorists and Vietnam with Afghanistan. Dr. Yinsen retains his As Long as It Sounds Foreign East Asian name despite the actor not looking East Asian at all.

Offscreen Crash: Tony's assistant, Pepper Potts, is conversing with Tony while he's testing one of the repulsor beams in the suit's gloves. The recoil throws Tony off screen and you hear him hit the far wall a couple seconds later. Pepper's reaction, mainly her complete lack of concern for his safety, is what really sells it.

Bottomless Magazines: Played with. Iron Man's power source, the arc reactor, will run out of power if the power drain from the suit outstrips the power output of the reactor for too long. So shooting too much is not an option for him, at least in this film. Played straight with everyone who fires kinetic weapons.

Treacherous Advisor: Obadiah Stane, a major villain from the comics who drove Tony into alcoholism and took over his company, before Stark sobered up and defeated him, is retooled as having co-founded Stark Industries with Tony's dad, then serves as a mentor to Tony and the second-in-command of his company when the elder Stark dies and Tony inherits the company. Naturally, this being an adaptation, Obadiah turns out to be more villainous than he lets on.

Creation Sequence: The movie contains some of the most elaborate and memorable examples. First the creation of the Mk. I armor in a cave with a box of... ahem. Quite tense since Tony is under surveillance by his captors, and has to finish it within a day when the bad guy gets impatient and gives him a deadline. Include the obligatory Forging Scene for the iconic helmet. Then the creation of the Mk. II and Mk. III, in safer circumstances, and thus lengthier and more detailed. Start from the conception phase, helped by holographic technology. Then the manufacture of the separate pieces, including several testing sequences, with variable success.

Upgrade vs. Prototype Fight: Zig-zagged. The Iron Monger suit is based off the older design of the original Mark I armor, and is larger and cruder than Tony's sleek, new Mark III armor. However, the Iron Monger suit is powered by Tony's newest miniaturized Arc Reactor while Tony is forced to use his less powerful original Mini Arc Reactor.

Impossible Task Instantly Accomplished: Tony Stark is captured by terrorists who try to force him to build a Jericho Missile. Tony estimates that he'll probably be dead in a week due to his injuries and Yinsen admonishes him to make the most of that week. In what turns out to be about three months, he instead designs, builds and installs a miniature arc reactor to power his heart, then designs a suit of Powered Armor, builds that, and escapes... just as the terrorists were growing suspicious.

Evil Knockoff: The Iron Monger suit is a mass production model based off Tony's Mark 1 Iron Man suit. It's bigger, has more weapons, a targeting system, can fly, and is professionally manufactured compared to the ramshackle Mark 1. However, it lacks some of the upgrades Tony made to his later Iron Man suits such as ice protection. Also, the production was not able to duplicate the arc reactor, forcing the Big Bad to steal Tony's to power it.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic
 Iron Man / int_ce9da072
comment
Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: The movie features many characters talking over each other at times and repeating what they'd already said. This was in part due to the script being left largely unfinished during filming, as the filmmakers had focused more on planning the action and the storyline. Jeff Bridges at one point said he had problems getting his head around this style of film making until he told himself to think of it as "a $200 million student film." In fact, director Jon Favreau acknowledged that improvisation would make the film feel more natural. The action scenes were pretty much the only things that had been thoroughly planned out, and the broadstrokes of the plot. Robert Downey Jr. improvised a great deal of his dialogue, including Tony's entire Jericho missile speech.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After seeing the military personnel guarding him killed, months of being held captive, tortured, forced to work for terrorists, and threatened with death on a regular basis, Tony is done fucking around when the Mark I suit is completed and he suits up. He doesn't pull punches and kills everyone between him and the entrance to the cave, then keeps on killing everyone once he's outside. The design of the suit reflects his attitude. It's intended for forward assault and is therefore much more heavily armored in the front than the back. This design necessitates not leaving anyone alive behind you.

Hoist by His Own Petard: One of the terrorists tries for a head shot while Tony Stark's Mark I armor is momentarily stuck... but he's killed when his bullet ricochets off Tony's helmet. The Iron Monger made his suit to be much larger and heavier than Tony's. As a result, when the Arc Reactor detonates, it sends out a shockwave that knocks Tony out of harm's way, while the Iron Monger doesn't budge and takes the full brunt of the explosion.

Cape Punk: Unlike the majority of other Marvel Cinematic Universe stories, much attention is given to the ways Tony Stark is a flawed hero as well as one who is existing in the "real" world. Real-life science was used to justify the majority of his inventions (Arc Reactor aside) plus critiques of the War on Terror with superheroism representing a critique to both sides. Unlike other members of the team, Tony suffers PTSD and other psychological ailments from his experiences in the films.

Breakout Character: Agent Coulson was a minor Canon Foreign character made up for the movie, but has since become a much larger part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He received a starring role in his own television show and even immigrated to the main comics line.

Do with Him as You Will: After Tony's first "live-fire exercise" with the completed armor, he leaves Abu Bakaar, the leader of the gang of Ten Rings terrorists, to the mercy of the villagers they'd been raiding. The film cuts away before we see what happens to him, but given the Ten Rings had been in the process of putting all the military-age men in the village to death and hauling the women and children off to use as human shields and God only knows what else, his death was undoubtedly unpleasant.

Five Rounds Rapid: When Stark fires up the Mk. I, various members of the Ten Rings try to bring it down with arms fire to no avail. Paralleling the previous example, when Iron Monger powers up in the midst of several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, they immediately start shooting at it with their sidearms. The hapless agents are cut down in short order.

Insistent Terminology: Tony Stark is the lone civilian riding in a military convoy in Afghanistan. When he learns his driver is a woman he points out that he didn't realize her gender because he thought of her as a soldier first. She quickly points out that the correct nomenclature is "Airman", because she is in the US Air Force.

Mildly Military: Inverted. When the F-22's are engaging the unknown bogey (Iron Man, MK III, but no one knows it yet), Major Allen calls for Lt Col. Rhodes from "Weapons Development," asking for any input. Rhodey tries telling him to call off the planes. While he does out-rank the major, Allen is the watch officer, representing the base commander, with full authority (and responsibility) for the encounter.

comment
Drama-Preserving Handicap: In the final battle, it's pretty clear that Tony's Mark III armor is leagues ahead of the Iron Monger suit and he literally flies circles around it. However, Tony's handicapped by being forced to use the original Arc Reactor, which isn't built for sustained use. A good deal of the drama is Tony trying to defeat Iron Monger using weaker weapons and doing it before his power runs out.

Viewer-Friendly Interface: The Iron Man suit's HUD display is calibrated to appear several inches away from Tony's face to give a good view of the actor while showing the audience how much information Tony has available to him in order to pilot the suit. However, there is so much content (images, charts, summaries, scans, etc) taking up the HUD's real estate in a font size that is readable by the audience, that it's hard to fathom how the clutter would not be obstructing Tony's view and seems to be there to look cool for the viewer instead of being useful.

comment
There was a scene planned for the climax where Iron Man drives his Audi into Iron Monger, where it flips and he breaks the roof in half and jumps out. The effects team found that A) the car was too well-engineered to flip, and B) the roof was too difficult to cut through. The entire scene was scrapped. Yes, that's right, the Product Placement car was (in a sense) Too Awesome to Use.

Meta Casting: Robert Downey Jr. was cast almost specifically because he is a gifted actor who's had drugs problems in the past. He's portraying a gifted scientist and businessman who lives fast and can never seem to put the bottle down. Jeff Bridges is also a great choice to play a villain like Obadiah Stane, because it's a role he doesn't normally play. He makes Stane come across as friendly and likeable, albeit a bit of a smooth talker. And when we learn he was behind everything, we empathize with the betrayal Tony is feeling, because we're feeling it as well.

Artistic License – Physics: Being encased in a metal suit wouldn't offer Tony any protection from the damage he'd take from simple inertia from his various crash landings. Tony's jet thrusters would be pushing his hands and feet in the opposite direction with the same force they provide to give him lift. While his suit may provide him superhuman strength to prevent his hands and feet from flailing wildly like an unattended firehose, he often uses the thrusters without his full suit, with no support for his joints above the wrist or ankle.

A Black Comedy example, but in the scene where Pepper swaps out Tony's Arc Reactor for the upgraded model, when she mishandles the copper wire and then yanks out the electromagnet, the heart monitor behind them buzzes and shifts from a steady heart pulse to delivering a full page of red text. Bonus points in that his Robot Buddy has been holding a light to illuminate the chest procedure but the flashlight head is actually angled toward Tony's face.

When Things Spin, Science Happens: When the outer breastplate is closed during the Mark III suiting-up sequence, the structures surrounding the arc reactor spin counter-clockwise ever so slightly. Justified, as it's the internal mechanisms of the suit helping lock all those pieces it's made out of together.

Pet the Dog: In a deleted longer version of the finished scene, when the scientist Obadiah's berating over the failed attempt at making the Iron Monger suit functional tells him bluntly that he isn't Tony Stark (for context, he had just been told that Tony had built his own first suit in a cave with a box of scraps), he simply calms down and tells the scientist to stop worrying and get some rest, because despite the scientists' best efforts the only one capable of getting the suit to work is, indeed, Tony Stark.

Shown Their Work: In the scene where Stark rides in the Funvee, the driver makes a point of the fact that she is an Airman, not a Soldier. As the markings on the exterior of the humvee show, the three airmen are United States Air Forces Security Forces airmen, whose duties include base security, convoy escort, and ground combat. As it happens, all four branches of the US military have their own ground combat personnel of varying numbers and quality, and all four branches enforce Insistent Terminology when it comes to what you call them (Army has Soldiers, Air Force has Airmen, Navy has Sailors, and Marine Corps has Marines).
