That 96 intro never made any sense... how the hell do you make the suit by pouring molting metal into a one piece mold among other stupid stuff they shoved into the intro????
It's not supposed to be exact in any stretch of the imagination. It is supposed to symbolize him creating the armor in a dramatic manner, which I always thought it did a very good job at doing. Just think if they had him hunched over some circuits for hours on end. Definately wouldn't make nearly as much impact. Plus it references Iron Man as a kind of modern day knight, which is kind of what he is.
X-Men (2000) anyway. After that, X2 and X3, have two different themes in no relation to the original from 1st film. It said Michael Kamen had a hand in creating the Theme Song in 1990s Animated Series.
Spin molding. Except, Stark can't do anything simply, (Joints in my armor? Nah! I'll make flexible armor that bends and stretches like spandex.) so there are actually artificial gravity generators in the mold, pulling the molten armor to the sides so that everything is the exact thikness it needs to be. I'm impressed that he didn't have to paint it. I've seen precoloring the mold done with slip cast porcelain before, but never with metal.
I'm so glad this thread didn't turn out to be three pages of numbers with "thed" at the end. Personally, I think it'd be kinda cool if they included some version this or the 60s cartoon theme during the end credits. I loved that in the first Spider-Man movie.
Oh wow. I didn't even know the Hulk had one of those old school cartoons. Any chance these are coming out on DVD?
there was a reason for putting the old spiderman theme in the closing creds: it was ICONIC. and had about 200 more words than "I am iron man" repeated ad nauseum. and, just a hunch, but maybe Raimi liked it? oh, i forgot what number-eth we are on. so I am going with the Universal Answer: 42nd-eth.
Sorry to bring up a zombie thread, but I saw Iron Man last night and I can't believe how prominently the 60's theme was featured!
First off, let me say... I have never followed Iron Man in any medium (comic, cartoon, etc.) whatsoever. I have never been a big Marvel fan. As for Marvel superhero movies, I consider Spiderman 2 and X-Men to be great; the rest fall in the range of pretty good to utter crap (e.g., FF4, Elektra). For me, Batman Begins is THE quintessential superhero comic adaptation. That being said, having now seen Iron Man... IMO, BEST. SUPERHERO. MOVIE. EVER.
HOPEFULLY I'll be seeing this movie today/tomorrow in theaters...going to take out the folks for a birthday lunch and movie glad to hear that there are so many good responses towards it.. and what kind of 60's references?
