Does explain a lot

"Essentially, this is the yacht scene from The Dark Knight, but not done as well."

Not done as well... how, exactly? In that it was longer than 5.8 seconds or that it was funny and awesome?

While it seems pretty improbable, why is it technologically impossible for him to fly there?

Hooray for clarification.

Actually, Ghostface's alias is Ironman, which then turns into 'Tony Starks' on occasion...just sayin...

can't wait for the box set of this and it's inevitable two sequels, to see this remarkably unrisky franchise...

Yeah, i'm with Quan, I thought that with a super duper unlimited power supply he just kinda flew all the way there. Didn't even cross my mind that he didn't, let alone that it was impossible.

You thought the yacht scene in Dark Knight was well done? It was two shots on a boat. This was an entire sequence. I have a feeling this would play great with music and a filled out soundtrack.

Also, I never felt the "plot hole" without this scene.

Well, first of all, isn't there the "suspension of disbelief" that we have to remember with movies and plot holes?

But anyway, lets say the suit can fly Mach 2. It would take just over 5 hours to fly from Malibu to Afghanistan. So it's really not that big of a plot hole if the suit could fly faster.

Also, the newer reactor that Stark has would provide enough power to do that. It was mentioned in the movie. Only the first reactor didn't have enough power to fly very long.

"because Stark can’t fly from California to the Middle East in the suit, as it would be technologically impossible."

the man is flying around in an iron suit and has a battery operated into his chest, nothing in this movie is technologically possible... so if the director say he can fly from california to the middle east, the he can fly from california to the god damn middle east...

You know what's even harder to believe than him flying from California to Afghanistan? surviving the G-Forces he would have experienced in that suit.

But the way the movie engaged you none of that mattered, it was a prime example of suspension of disbelief.

I object to the fact that a black guy gives himself the name Ironman and they put him in a friggin movie. I've been reading the up and down comics all my life and what's my reward? I get to see a no talent black guy be in a movie for no reason other than he calls himself Ironman...I didn't see Hulk Hogan in the Incredible Hulk...what gives? If I start referring to myself as Bilbo Bogins do you think they would give me a small part in The Hobbit? the world gets screwier every day...see you in hell everyone!

I noticed in the Tags section of this post you don't have Ghostface Killah in there...you better fix that pronto...it's only fair...because he calls himself Ironman for Gods sake!

@ Henry: Yup. SOD it.

@ Danny

How is he a no talented black guy when he's won Grammy's and sold millions of albums.

I'm going to watch this movie for the lulz

Dammit , I meant to right this in the Twilight post.

i think RDJ is also a wu tang clan fan , he did triumph on hip hop karaoke

@Jack M.

Well...considering what passes for music nowadays...not impressed.

@ Jack M.

Britney Spears has also sold millions of albums...shall I continue?

@danny stupid fuck eh..stupid kid

oh cool! If they had finished editing that scene I dont know why it was deleted. Guess it isn't that important, but now that hole makes sense!

@ dannyboy

Yeah, those were the days...I'm not a kid. Maybe that's why I don't get it...whatever...

Actually I'd really like to see this in an extended directors cut. I kinda felt like act two Tony didn't have the balls that Act 1 did. This could be an interesting segue.

It was obviously deleted because the sequence makes Potts look like a chump, especially when he walks off with the two bikini toys in front of her - poor form if you expect people to buy into their attraction to each other.

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 5. You got to love that part. I know a lot people know the comparisons between Wayne and Starks. This just proves Tony's is the playboy while Wayne just plays the playboy. I know a lot of people already knew this. LOL! I love both Iron Man and the TDK, so no hate.

Maybe, with the suspension of disbelief, you can say sure, the chest thingy can power the suit enough to fly all the way to Afghanistan from Malibu, and that he's supersonic the entire time and it takes like 5 hours to get there. But for a guy to just be stuck there in the suit for 5 hours? That's a damn long time. I don't even like to cooped up in an airplane that long, and at least I'm sitting and can get up and move around if I want.

@ Danny: I don't see you complaining about the Senator who's a Batman fan getting a spot in the Dark Knight. Sorry you're so offended by the "black guy" who had a few lines in a scene that was cut.

@ The Moviegoer

Haha, in the Iron Man Demon in a Bottle comic he installed a radio in his suit to listen to as he flew over an ocean. x)

I gotta say stating that it would be technologically impossible is a really odd outlook. I don't remember the part of the movie where we're given the complete technology capability report for the Iron Man MarK II suit.

@The Moviegoer

Actually, one of Tony Stark's main character traits is that he is never doing one thing at one time (as evidenced with his "plans" with the ladies in the deleted scene). In the Execute Program story arc he simultaneously fights the Crimson Dynamo in a construction zone, bids on an expensive Ancient Cuirass breastplate at an auction, spearheads a corporate takeover of Futurepharm (a genetics company that pioneered the Extremis virus), and engineers a cooling system for a next generation rail gun unit all from the comfort of his armor.

Also revealed in the Execute Program story arc, his suit flies at Mach 3, not 2, making his Afghanistan trip shorter than the 5 hours. I also don't think its a plot hole given all of the suit's capabilites.

"I'm thinking of a number between 1 & 5...3", that was awesome

If i remember correctly (correct me if im wrong).In the movie, Stark modified the suit to cope with freezing temperatures in the high atmosphere. It is scientifically proved that in the high atmosphere you have less air, wich makes you move faster. Kind of like being in orbit.

So it is possible to fly in his suit in less than an hour from Amerika to Afghanisatan.(i almost wanted to correct it to Afghanistan, butt i actually thought it was a funny mistyping accident :P)
So by by plot hole!

Then again this film is based on FICTION!! :D
I enjoyed this movie a lot and keep in mind that you youre self can come up with intelligent solutions for filling up the plot holes.

So i went to see this film for getting entertained and not to analyse the movie on scenes like if its actually possible to fly in an iron suit with al little battery stuck in your chest! (read it sarcasticly please:D)

Greatings from Holland!*wave*

Ghostface has an alias being Iron Man? I thought Ghostface was an alias..

i think it adds a greater plot hole, the iron man assembly line is in stark's malibu house, so how does he put the armor on dubai?

Gostface-Killa is a racist
