Guns of Iron Man

I concur with alternate reality...HK doesn't exist, or was bought by Stark Industries.

I think HK still existed. There were only about two of the rifles made by Stark in the start of the movie and they looked like Super Soakers with a new paint job and a bunch of crap glued on them. They actually bothered me with as bad as they looked.

[Spoiler Warning]

A couple of nit-pics:
If the bad guys were buying ordnance from Stane, why not just buy the Jericho missiles from him instead of forcing Stark to cobble up a Rube Goldberg version? And if Stane was making money on the black market, why would he kill his customers?
Also, suspension of disbelief aside, are we really expected to believe that Stark didn't notice that Pepper was hot until he saw her in that dress?!

it wasn't just that they wanted him to build the missile right? the deal somehow went wrong, when pepper finds the vids while "hacking" into stark's computer they say that they're angry at stane.

also i think it's very easy to not acknowledge those most close to you as being attractive until you realize you have nothing left but those who are close to you.

Tony ALWAYS knew Pepper was hot, and he often mentioned that to her.

Just after nearly dying, he realized that he wanted more than just all of the Maxim covergirls 12 for 12 in a year. He wanted someone who actually DID care about him.

As for Stane killing the 10 Rings guys, they didn't kill Stark for him, and tried to cut him out as a middle man to get the Jericho, which Stane eventually funnelled to them anyway.

Stane was being a "straw purchaser" for the 10 rings with the missiles, totally unknown to Stark though. As for the guns, Stark either bought HK or he just sold a few designs for rifles to them. Stane told the 10 rings to kill Tony (but he didn't tell them it was Tony), after they captured him and realized who he was, they wanted a Jericho missile. Stane probably already had the other Jericho's and weapons just shipping as Tony escaped.

I love Pepper too.

I like the pop out shoulder guns to deal with the hostage takers in Afghanistan. Very handy!

Kinda reminded me of Asuka's Eva Unit 02 shoulder blade flechette cannon in End of Evangelion. Seriously LARGE caliber guns in that movie. NOT for kids though.

Iron Man is the one character I can see NOT pulling punches (or firepower) with sadistic murderers. Them weren't stun bullets taking out the hostage takers.

I'm just surprised the one guy had enough skeletal structure to roll himself over after being yanked through a wall.

sarduy, watch it again, on every crate of weapons, every gun the 10-rings guys had, if you look close you will see the stark enterprises logo on the side, I thought it was pretty obvious...

Stark was a weapons designer, the first one that is, pappa stark built the company suppling arms and high tec weapons to the military, Obo stane took over after he presumeably was responsible for Stark Sr.'s death, Stark Jr. when he came of age continued the tradition his father had started, to develop and supply weapons to the military to fund his other projects.

problem was that his other projects slowly got put on the back burner until he was nothing more than a weapons dealer.

Stark made the missles, Stark made the Guns, Stark even made the land mine's.

that was the entire point of the movie, Stark the man was trying to come to grips with what Stark the company was doing.

I saw in an interview John Favereau (the Director and Happy Hogan the limo driver) might have either The Mandarin or Fing Fang Foom (or both?) as the villan in Iron Man 2. Should be sweet either way.

I think from the short bio movie during the awards ceremony scene in the beginning that Stark Industries even made the F22's. Also notice the F22 model at the company entrance when Tony arrives after escaping with his arm in a sling and a cheeseburger in mouth. Also laughed at the Jim Cramer cameo bashing Stark Industries stock. LOL

Tough suit armor to take 20mm cannon shells from the F22 too. Ouch my back!

Both actually makes sense. Mandarin's rings aren't magic, they are technology from an alien race that looks like big frikken dragons. Fin Fang Foom is a representative of that race. (This is why Mandarin, the guy with 'magic rings', has always been an Iron Man villain...)

They don't actually say that. and EVERY subcontractor for every nut bolt and screw on the F-22 in the real world takes credit for it.... (don't blame em either)

Probably only took a hit or two, he was doing some evasive action...

What caliber for 200 foot intelligent dragon wearing pants?

Dunno, but Tony will come up with it.

Forget caliber. Big fraking repulsor beam type laser for something that big and dangerous!

Also, let's hope we get War Machine in the next movie. Lots of guns on that suit of armor! No matter which actor plays Rhodes.

they, say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. i respecfuly disagree, i prefer the weapon you only have to fire once! thats how dad did it,thats how America does it, and its worked out pretty good so far. (best line in the movie)
