Then you work your way to the time when lightning bolts are shooting out of the fingers and all that stuff could happen. But you can't have what happened in [Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)] happen in [Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)]."
12. The cave that imprisons Tony Stark was a 150-200 yard-long set, which had built-in movable forks to allow greater freedom for the film's crew. It also had an air conditioning system installed, as production designer J. Michael Riva had learnt that remote caves are actually very cold.

11. When designing Tony Stark's house, the guideline the designers were given was to make it more "grease monkey" (inventor/mechanic) than futuristic, in order to keep the film realistic. J. Michael Riva took inspiration from the photographs of Julius Schulman, who was noted for photographs of 1950s and 1960s Los Angeles homes.
10. The film had a torturous development process. Stuart Gordon was originally going to direct in 1990 when the rights were held by Universal studios, though nothing came of that. In 1996, 20th Century Fox acquired the rights with Nicolas Cage expressing an interest in the project. Two years later, it hadn't moved on so Tom Cruise tried to kickstart a production, to the extent of commissioning a script by Stan Lee and Jeff Vintar. Jeffrey Caine then did a polish on the screenplay. Still nothing. In 1999, Quentin Tarantino was approached to see if he could move things along but that too came to nothing. The rights moved to New Line in 2000 with Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio and Tim McCanlies writing a screenplay (this version even featured a cameo by Nick Fury). New Line started talking to Joss Whedon about directing but this didn't pan out. By 2004, Nick Cassavetes was attached as director but when this too failed, the rights reverted back to Marvel Studios.

9. During the scene in which Iron Man first takes flight he travels at 0.29 Mach (220 mph) over California.
8. Paul Bettany has never seen Iron Man and is unfamiliar with the plot. He said JARVIS was the easiest job ever and it was almost like a robbery since he only worked for two hours, got paid a lot of money, then went on vacation with his wife.

7. This is the first film set in, and the beginning of, the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise.
6. Lt Colonel Rhodey in the F-22 interception scene is wearing a huge gold ring on his left hand. The ring is an MIT graduation ring...known as the "Brass Rat." A minor detail, but well played.

5. Jeff Bridges said he felt really uncomfortable not having a script or rehearsals since normally he is very prepared. But realizing it was like he was in a "$200 million student film" took the pressure off for him and made it fun.

4. During the final battle, there was originally going to be a sequence where Tony, in the Iron Man suit, drives an Audi R8 that would crash into Iron Monger's legs then flip over, after which Iron Man would split the car in half and jump out. However, the Audi R8 was so well-built that it refused to flip despite repeated crashes and the roof wouldn't split the way the Director wanted it to because the car's frame was so tough. As a result, the whole final fight sequence was re-written. The filmmakers were so impressed by the toughness of the car that it was decided that the convertible version was to be featured in Iron Man 2 (2010).

3. The final scene, in which Tony reveals to the press that he is Iron Man is a reference to the Avengers Disassembled mini-series. In the mini-series (part 1), which was written by Brian Bendis, Stark, under the influence of Scarlet Witch, revealed himself to be the Secretary of Defense to the entire delegates of the UN, with the exact line spoken in the film.
2. When presented at the movie's end with the cover story by SHIELD Agent Coulson that Iron Man is employed by Tony Stark to act as his bodyguard, Stark dismisses it as "pretty flimsy." In the Iron Man comics, this was precisely the cover that Tony Stark used to protect his identity, until 2002, when Stark went public with his identity as Iron Man.

1. When Tony Stark tells Rhody to 'keep the skies clear' before going to confront Obadiah Stane, Rhody looks to the silve Mark II suit before saying 'next time, baby'. Rhody dons this suit in Iron Man 2 (2010).
