Iron Man 2 Alternate Opening

Most movies have alt endings, IM2 had an alt opening!

I'm glad this got cut. I already thought IM2 relied to oheavily on being jokey and this opening is definitely more jokey than I remembered the actual opening to be. I don't think this would have made a good first impression for me.

I was surprised they didn't use Pepper kissing the helmet instead of him then throwing it out for him to go fetch. That bit worked really well (especially the 'You complete me!' as he bails out)

But yeah, the rest was a little odd for me XD

Different market demographics. This could easily have been the opening for the film in the UK vs. what was in the states.

Either that it was filmed, reviewed and scrapped. Though it's kind of funny to see Tony being airsick considering he can fly at ultrasonic speeds in his armor.

I was wondering where they got the "You complete" bit from for the trailers I saw on tv.

Now I know! Thanks BBM!

He wasn't airsick. He was either hungover or it was a result of the palladium (or was it cadmium?) poisoning.


Too many alts to list.

Pretty much, that's the joke. He is obviously inebriated when he was walking to Pepper and yelling to abort.

Now, whether or not he was acting to cover up his illness, I guess that is debatable.

I'd say he was covering his illness. Also that stuff he was drinking in IM2 to help counter the palladium poisoning, lets go back and look at the stuff he was drinking as he was resting and icing himself after his test flight of the mark 2 armor. Same stuff?

actually, after watching the first Iron Man on Netflix a couple days ago, i think he was drinking the green gunk because of the Palladium then too. So i guess he realized right from the start the stuff would be poisonous.

was wondering why the "you complete me" bit wasn't in the final cut of the film. did make for a very cool trailer cut though.

most movies have "alternate" beginnings. You just don't see them much because they are usually just differently cut or longer versions of the used one and add nothing dif to the movie overall... just like this one.

I dont know i kinda liked it...what was the opening? Its sad i cant remember alot of Iron Man 2...i can remember most if not all of the first one

Yeah, not so much.

Starting out with Tony being hungover and throwing up would have been a horrible tone to start the movie off with.

I think he knew from the start yes, I doubt he expected it to be so swift or that usage of the armor would accelerate it. But he does state in IM2 that he has tried every element and combination of elements to power his mini reactor enough to remove the palladium so he had to know pretty fast that it was going to turn toxic.

So yeah I believe the stuff he was drinking after his test flight was the antidote.

I loved it. It SCREAMED Tony Stark. Or at least RDjr's version of him. I'm glad I got to see it even if it wan't in the theatrical release.
