Credit Scene Revealed!

Before I tell you what happens in the easter egg scene, I must spoil a small plot point from the actual film.

Two thirds of the way into Iron Man 2, SHIELD Agent Coulson (played again by Clark Gregg) gets orders to leave Tony Stark and is reassigned to a situation in New Mexico. That?s it. Not much more. In the film the moment goes by without it even meaning anything.

Cut to the credits.

After the credits conclude, we see a black car pushing up dirt as it zooms through the desert. We are even given a close-up of the New Mexico license plate of the car so that we know it is New Mexico. The license plate reads 8RE 2Z1. I?m not sure if there is an inside joke or easter egg in those numbers and letters. Probably not.

A man exists the vehicle, and it cuts to a wide show of a huge crater in the earth.

We see that the man is? not Tony Stark ? but Agent Coulson.

He looks down at the inside of the big hole, which has been revealed to contain cars and workers working on something.

Coulson picks up his cellphone and tells the person on the other end ?Sir, we?ve found it.?

Cut to a shot from inside the giant crater, and we push back to reveal the hammer of Thor sticking out of the ground.

really? that's it? they really could do better than that. :no:

Iron Man 2 is also going to be premiered in IMAX!!!! I'm pumped for this one to come out. Is the suit that Rhodey wears the War Machine suit? I've not really gotten into who is what as far as marvel heroes go, but his suit looks much more awesome than Tony Stark's.

Originally my local IMax (ThinkPoint, Birmingham) weren't gonna show it - however, I noticed this morning they've cancelled all the performances of How to Train your Dragon, and Alice in Wonderland, and replaced 'em with Iron Man. Which is awesome :)

really? that's it? they really could do better than that. :no:

I quite like that, it's subtle, like the Captain America reference in the first film.

:laugh: :rofl:

it'd be more epic if

the camera lifted and we see the back of Thor .. pretty much showing the Sillouette and then he brings the hammer down to his knees. The camera focuses on the hammer then cut to black

true but they dont want to show any of Thor yet until May 5th when the first shots are released so teasing the hammer is the best way of doing it plus they want some surprise

no but it'd be the back of Thor.. and he is covered in shadow so you will only see the sillouette of him from behind. People then will say holy ****, it's Thor. Heck, Nick Fury wasn't really a tease anyway at the end of Iron Man if you put it that way.

lol.. Iron Man suits for Kids eh? lol. :laugh:

He's wearing one of the toy Iron Man helmets and a toy repulsor.

Helmet

Repulsor Glove

I assume that in the movie world, there would be toys just as in the real world.

I watched the movie last night ( I live in France and the movie was released n wednesday ) and I must say that I enjoyed every part of the movie. The movie is not perfect because I felt it was too short; Favreau could have easily done a movie clocking at 140 minutes with all the material he had at hand.

Overall impression :

Very good movie for what it is ( a superhero/action flick ). Is it better thatn the first one ? I don't think so because the first Iron Man was already a very good movie and the seecond episode is at the same level if not a bit above.

That's my 2 cents.

P.S. : The Ex-wife of Rhodey is awesome ;)

Nice catch with the kid road, I never saw that preview before :)

No problem. The funny thing is that this one aired on Nickelodeon about 4 more times (along with a couple of others) within an hour of me posting it! There was one other spot that I hadn't seen before, but I missed it with the DVR.

Just got back from seeing it in IMAX. Loved it. So so good! Glad the scene after the credits was included, even though it's not officially released until tomorrow in the UK (advance showing ftw).

Bittersweet seeing DJ AM in, but his part was cool.

Need to see it again! :D

End credits is a tease showing Thor would give away to much. I think they nailed it. Nice catch with the kid road, I never saw that preview before :)

yeah might as well have Thor sitting in a chair waving at the audience :p

One thing I still fail to understand (given that this movie is by an American company, and produced here), is why it opened over a week earlier in other countries than here in the US? I haven't even been able to find a statement from the producers as to why they did that. Anyone here have a clue?

What makes that even worse is that there hasn't even been a (real) leaked copy of it floating around yet LOL! :pirate:

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
