Line 207:
** Another hilarious example involving Rhodes: When he's offered an alcoholic drink on Tony's jet, he avidly states he's not going to drink. Cut to a completely plastered Rhodes a good few hours later.
** In ''2'', Tony is contemplating his own mortality. He asks Natasha what she would do if she knew she was going to die soon. She replies, "I would do whatever I wanted to do, with whoever I wanted to do." You'd think he'd go through with his earlier plans of shelving the party... and then there's a cut to Tony doing scratch [[D Jing]], and then dancing sloppy drunk in his armor.
* [[Girl Friday]]: Pepper.
* [[Go-Go Dancing]]: The flight attendants on Tony's private jet double as go-go dancers.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]:
** Yes, Tony Stark works hard to keep the world safe, and his heart is in the right place. He's still a playboy, a glory hound, a drunkard, and an irresponsible jackass.
Line 220 ⟶ 221:
* [[Honest Corporate Executive]]: Tony, at least after he gets back from Afghanistan.
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: Played with slightly. Small arms fire bounces off, and nothing except a direct hit from an explosion hurts. Larger calibers (up to an including 20mm Vulcan rounds and the main cannon of a tank!) score and dent the armor, showing off the creators' CG muscle and occasionally causing problems ranging from a frozen knee joint to trouble removing the suit without a diamond blade.
* [[In Memoriam]]: ''Iron Man 2'' is dedicated to Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein, who had a cameo [[As Himself]] filmed before his death.
* [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]]: Not immediately obvious (in fact, only apparent as part of the larger ''Avengers'' film continuity) but {{spoiler|the Arc Reactor technology was originally developed by Howard Stark, who was part of SHIELD and who apparently studied the Tessaract Cube that came from Asgard. It became obvious in the second movie that Howard Stark made great intellectual discoveries by studying the artifact, but he was limited by the technology of his time, and that Tony was the one who eventually realized much of the potential of his father's research into Asgard tech.}}
* [[Insufferable Genius]]:
