The Scene You Won't See In Iron Man 2

Sorry, you can't see the Comic Con footage from Iron Man 2, but here's the next best thing: a scene from Metal Man, last year's direct-to-DVD Iron Man homage. Metal Man fights Mecha Terror, then argues with his also-helmeted girlfriend.

I love the random airplane exploding for no reason. I also love the bored-looking cow watching the dramatic armored fight scene from the nearby paddock. I especially love the fact that the good guy, his girlfriend, and the bad guy are all wearing fake Iron Man helmets by the end of this scene. How does Metal Man end? We can't possibly tell you — but one of our favorite scenes comes during the final credits, when we glimpse the hero and his girlfriend a year later, making out in the park — and they're both wearing Iron Man helmets. While making out. Dude! [IMDB]

Like Iron Man, But More Metallic This Time

Halcyon, the king of the rushed-out copycat movies, has released the trailer for their long-awaited film about a superhero in power armor... Metal Man. (Not to be confused with Iron Man...but yeah.) They've also brought us Amphibious (Cloverfield), Replicator (Single White Female with robots) and Battle Space. The plot of MM sounds a bit different than Iron Man, although the resemblance of the outfits is uncanny. The story is based on a scientist who gets stuck inside a "bio-helmet" permanently. He then takes out his anger on the people who stole his identity along with his family. My only question for Metal Man is to the gentleman in the trailer who holds a gun up to MMs heart: He's metal right? [Halycon] Thanks, Averyguerra!
