That is just hilarious!! You have to really give credit to JF for that one.

I'm glad, i wasn't the only one that saw the mention to the Blackbird (X-Men) nod. At first i thought they just ment a regular plane, then it dawned upon me, it was a nod to those friendly bunch of mutants.

When I saw it today I did notice the Cpt. America shield emblem in his work shop when he's trying to remove his armor.

[smashmode]

Is that Rhodes guy suppose to be important? (war machine?)

He looked at the suit..and said 'next time'

Or something?

[Venomfan]

one thing i noticed that was kinda cool that they even bothered to put in was Stane wearing the necklace he has in the comics

[Advocate05]

The sheer mention of space flight could lead to the Avengers movie being about a Skrull or Kree invasion.

Yeah, that's how it goes. Though Tony and Rhodes fight before making a truce (=War Machine born). Rhodes didn't want to stop being Iron Man.

[Spider-X]

how long was Tony's alcoholism a major issue in the comics?

Hmmm...not "exactly" the same.

(and boy, that super-mullet was a cheesy choice on their part...)

Hey guys. In regards to Cap's shield.

About Heroes brought it to my attention. They might have posted a couple images that found somewhere.

To me, it clearly looks like Cap's shield.

[JerseyJoker]

Hmm...i guess you SORTA can see it.

But unless i see some real info from Favs or someone, i dont buy it. Or atleast a better look.

[b. goose]

its amazing how some of you can catch all these great references. im a huge marvel fan myself but i guess i was just so into the movie, i didnt really get to look around haha.

thats what dvds are for =)

[powerbomb1411]

Looks pretty clear to me. Whether it's there for a reason or just an easter egg is a different story. I'd place it as an easter egg though.

Oh GOD...

[Beanjuice]

i think just messing around, finding some food.. jk

maybe it's just some stuff.

[Rac]

I noticed the Cap's shield now on the second time. Forgot to keep and eye for the X-Men's Blackbird!

Me too. Maybe Stark's a huge fan of WWII Cap and wants to make a replica of the shield for himself? Or maybe someone (Cap/S.H.I.E.L.D.) ordered unanimously that shield from Stark Industries?

At another board someone said "I've heard that there's Baxter Building in the film and Hulk's face at a newspaper." Any truth to these?

[Soulgem]

Wow.. some of you have good eyes. I only caught a few of these. The most obvious was the ten rings (or at least some of them), where I suspect one of them was Obadiah's ring.

The Whiplash and Robocop references. Nice finds! And Cap's shield is just gold.

where was fury? I missed him!

What? After the credits...

[He-Man]

Ath the end when the Shield guy was telling Tony to read from the card and said something along the lines that this wasn't his first go around.

Can be taken as he'd helped other superheros cover things up.

[LadyLane]

I saw that pic posted by powerbomb and I think I need to see the movie again. Looks like it could just be more tech stuff with the same colors in that lighting. But I'm not saying no either cause it does have a resemblence, but the star looks off center to me.

Either, now that I've read this whole thread, I can't wait to see it again! I liked the ringtone easter egg. I don't read any Iron Man comics (well, I just started) so that was really the only one I picked up.
