Line 357:
** The Iron Man-Iron Monger fight in the first one, and the entirety of the failed armour sequence in the second, are homages to similar scenes in Robocop 2. The director even makes a comment on it on the second film's DVD commentary.
** Iron Man's suit recycles body waste in a process similar to [[Dune|Fremen stillsuits]].
** When Tony is drunk-piloting his suit, the partygoes first start throwing booze bottles into the air for him to shoot at. Then one of the girls shows up with a whole watermelon. Tony literally shouts out, "I think she wants the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110806181808/http://www.gallaghersmash.com/pictures/025.jpg Gallagher!]"
** Self proclaimed comic book geek [[Howard Stern]] heavily promoted the first Iron Man film on his radio show, even interviewing director and casual friend Jon Favreau. In an interview on one of Stern's satellite radio channels during the promotion of Iron Man 2, Favreau confirmed that the foul mouthed Senator Stern from Iron Man 2 was in fact a shout out to his friend, the foul mouthed ''non''senator [[Howard Stern]].
** In the novelisation, some of the proposed names for the to-be War Machine include ''[[Terminator]]'', ''[[Silver Surfer]]'' and ''[[Captain America (comics)]]''.
Line 373:
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Stark.
* [[Technology Porn]]: It's practically the trope namer. From Tony's house (with its near-sentient AI, touch-based control panels on everything, robotic arms doing every little thing, and his holographic workstation complete with motion-sensitive schematics that can respond in real time to objects placed within its boundaries in full three dimensions) to the Iron Man armor itself (tons of shifting, locking mechanisms and a prep bay with all the pieces coming out of the floor and ceiling to effortlessly suit him up for battle), you'd be lying to say you wouldn't want to be Tony Stark for a day.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100528151900/http://nextround.net/2010/03/11/iron-man-2-briefcase-suit-gif/ This] is technoporn equivalent to Satoshi Urushihara.
* [[Tech Tree]]: The development of the Iron Man armor in relation to its various spinoffs.
** In ''Iron Man'' both Tony and {{spoiler|Stane}} work off of the Mk I armor Tony used to escape captivity, yet the two armors are wildly different. Tony developed Mk II as a flight suit first and a weapon second, while {{spoiler|Stane's}} armor was developed primarily as a tank-like weapon with limited flight capabilities. Two different approaches to the same basic framework.
