Well the Repulsor Rays are pure fiction even in their conception. Even assuming that Iron Man can convert any stored energy in his suit into laser light with 100 percent efficiency, generating a beam powerful enough to melt a fist-sized hole through a half-inch-thick steel plate (which any comic book fan can tell you is well within Shellhead's capabilities) would require an energy pulse of over two gigawatts of power, greater than the output of a nuclear power plant.

Its in that factoid though comes your answer. The Repulsors in his palms were to stabilize and balance flight, which is why in the Mark 2 testing sequence he blasts into the building without them. The thing is that, that is at a high percentage of power from his Arc Reactor without something else channeling. The palm repulsors syphon power from his Arc Reactor and creates an equilibrium that allows him to control the flight boots. When he fires a blast from his palm repulsors it drains an outstanding amount of energy temporarily from his Arc which depowers his boots enough to create a hover. He doesn't get thrown back because they are focused blasts of energy but work like a gun with minimal kickback, he does flinch a bit but not a lot if you watch it again especially in HD. Once the blast is depleted the boots and repulsors charge back up and he flies. He could fire while in flight but the danger is that if he does fire while in accelerated flight and his suit powers down too much he would freefall or it would even cause his natural momentum to carry him into the nearest object at his original speed. Which is why the hover is the safest way to discharge.

Holy ????! you think about that, that much? best ????ing answer... period!

so you're Iron Mon, mon?

 

[tylerdurden]

both movies also have heroes who's name ends in Man

and the hero is really a rich playboy billionaire, who's money comes from what he inherited from his father after his father died, and from his father's business after he took over. they both also use very cool high tech gadgest/suits. ooh and their eyes light up to show details about their surroundings

what am i missing?

Both have exploding cars......

and, AND... both tony stark and bruce wayne have the letters "r", "a", "y" and "n" in their names! i mean, what are the odds?!

That USA owns them eh? Originally in the script treatments released a while back they were "security" for the Stark Expo...



While it could have been rewritten, that news came from an "insider" on the set....

Could be - What I saw was production art that will be released to the public and they have "USA" painted on them.

1) Could have been from pre-production art that was finalized but was then changed durring filming i.e. the art images of Iron Monger that was released from part 1 that had the original helmet design on it...

or

2) Was changed in post to be USA and not Stark. They do resemble the MK 1 though.

I have yet to see an image of Whiplash other than the race scene suit... They may be holding out til the last minute.

I see what you are saying, I downloaded the high def version and you can spot the US flag on the thigh

 

[Minimodel]

I trust Hot Toys will provide those rather fabulous looking drones as well.

that trailer was pretty cool.

pretty cool, only, huh ? you may want to take another look: https://trailerunleashed.com/trailer/iron-man-2-trailer/ (click on the poster to load the trailer)

I bet the second movie will be far entertaining than the first one.

The Mike is now my favorite Iron Man reference, as well as my favorite porn expert.

A little off topic but when I was watching tv yesterday a Victoria Secret ad came up and was playing the Merchant of death track on the soundtrack.

 

[MaulFan]

What a combo, Iron Man and Victoria's Secret

 

[The Ringer]

I wasn't complaining.

The Hot Toys site now has Iron Man 2 on the list of licenses and it has its own page.

Just in case anyone else didn't notice. Also, it's been a while since I've looked at the site so I don't actually know how long it's been there

Anyone here seen Sherlock Holmes? Did they play the IM2 trailer? They didn't where I went; very disappointed.

They did. It was great to see it on the big screen.
