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.
