Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Iron Man (2008)?
a.
The scene the morning after John Winger and MP Officer Stella Hanson had sex in General Barnickys house, when they emerge from the trunk, is actually a lift from a cut scene when the guys and girls meet up in Germany. This lift is now something of a continuity error in the Special Edition DVD where those cut scenes in the German Hotel are now restored. You can tell this because if you watch the decor of the Generals bedroom and Winger and Hansons wardrobe, its the same clothing theyre wearing in their German Hotel Suite and the Generals decor and the suite are the same.

In an interview with Starlog magazine in the late 1970s,
Douglas Trumbull
revealed that the plot of the movie in the original version of the script was quite a bit different from what was actually filmed. In this version, the Space Freighters were on permanent duty carrying biological domes. When theyre finally told to blow the domes and return to earth, it is because the freighters are going to be scrapped. The Freeman Lowell character in this version was an older, more curmudgeonly man who simply doesnt want to return to earth and forced into retirement, so he steals the Valley Forge, "Shoots the rapids" through Saturns Rings to make it look like his ship is destroyed, and heads off into deep space. As in the filmed version, he reprograms the robots for some companionship, and the subplot involving the plants dying due to a lack of light were involved, but his main interest in the plants was simply as a means of extending his limited food supplies on the ship. In the second half of the film, he receives a signal which he realizes is from an alien ship passing through the solar system, and decides to approach it - humanitys first contact with aliens - around the same time, his superiors on earth have realized what he did, and are trying to re-capture the ship. The last act of the movie was to have been a race against time, with Lowell trying to contact the aliens, and the recovery force trying to re-take the ship. Finally, in desperation, Lowell detaches one of the domes with one of the robots aboard only seconds before hes killed by the forces that have boarded the Valley Forge. The dome drifts off into deep space, where its spotted by the as-yet-unseen aliens, who board it and find the robot. The robot, unsure what to do, pulls out a snapshot of itself, the other two robots, and Freeman Lowell taken earlier in the film, a "Family Portrait" after a fashion, and shows it to the aliens, who look at it and the robot confusedly, and there the film ends.
d.

5.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
, and was said to have murdered Mozart (although historical records have proven that on the contrary both have collaborated/promoted each others work on several occasions). This serves as an appropriate parallel of Stark and Stanes relationship in the film.
d.
