In several scenes in both
Iron Man 1 and 2, there are several scenes with references to hot
rods throughout both movies.
Whether
it be the screen savers on the computers, Tony constantly working on one, or the
influence in the final Iron Man color Toss in a little hot rod
red.
What is the significance of this
car in relation to either the movies or perhaps Iron Man in general? Or is this some
kind of inside joke tossed about within the production team?
Answer
Showing Tony's infatuation with Hot Rods is a
very efficient storytelling tool. And through show-not-tell you can
immediately deduce
that:
- Tony loves to tinker
with machines. - Lives life in the
fast lane. - Has oodles of money (and
time) to spare on pet projects. - He has a very obsessive
(and possessive)
personality.
All of these
are core to the character of Tony Stark.
