Some fans noticed 17 mistakes already. Some of my favorites:

• When showing Rhodes the big reactor, Tony takes off his sling. In the next shot he has it back on. It goes on and off a total of four times.
• When Iron Man and Iron Monger are fighting, Iron Man catches the SUV, and you can see the family inside the car. Although the car is completely vertical, the hair of the people in the car seem to defy gravity.
• When Iron Man catches the Audi SUV, the front wings/fenders don’t bend when he catches it, the car weighs close to 2 tons, some damage should occur to them as they are made of such thin metal.
• When Stark is paralysed his fringe keeps changing style all the time.
• After Stark is paralysed and slightly recovers, he goes to get his energy. Right then the blood arond his left ear has vanished. Being seconds away from dying, the last thing he would think of is taking a shower.

Any other mistakes you’ve noticed? Add them in the comments!

Iron Man opens nationwide on Friday May 2, 2008.

Post from: Superhero Profiles

The movie is directed by Jon Favreau, who might have well been Iron Man’s biggest fan, from the way he talks about the movie in this behind-the-scene. He is definitely a comics fan, and maybe more specifically a Marvel Comics fan.

“When Marvel sets out to make a movie, their priority’s a little bit different. They’re servicing a fanbase. They’re protecting the source material. They are the keepers of this pantheon of characters that have made the corporation profitable over the last whatever it is, 40 years, and they’ve built it to this merchandising empire.” – Jon Favreau

The cast also include Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Shaun Toub. Iron Man opens nationwide on May 2, 2008.
