RDJ wasn't interested in being in movie for the nerds -- he wanted it to work for everyone, and most definitely knew that it could be a decade-spanning franchise.
@@Nitingms The simple fact is as they step away from the iconic characters with their flaws and personalities people will have less interest. Ironheart is going to land with a thud, just wait and see. Ditto for Young Avengers.
There's nothing wrong with using CGI, especially when the effects are impossible to make, but there's just something about using practical models and effects like this that just makes it feel so real. This process of prototyping and designing feels just like what Tony did in the movie to make the suit.
@@and-168 I think it’s due to the fact that cgi doesn’t require that much physical effort and can bring down a movies quality in the later years. For example, the lord of the rings and the hobbit. Lotr has a lot of physical props and uses cgi to enhance things, and still stands the test of time today fairly well. The hobbit, on the other hand, has a lot more cgi and doesn’t look as great, with many scenes being fairly ugly to rewatch. I still like the hobbit movies and lotr though.
Seeing this shot before 2008, RDJ already foreshadowing his concern of his aging impact on acting performance. But he still continued until Endgame, and he was right about the CGI. Such a great personality. RDJ, we love you, 3000.
I don’t think he ever has to worry about this, men just age SOOO much better than woman and don’t need all the fillers. It shows how humble he is too, he doesn’t think he’s gods gift to marvel, I don’t think any of them do, at least not the best characters.
They involved RDJ at just the right age so that by the time Tony Stark’s story came to a close, you could see how he had aged and see how he was ready for it to finally be over.
@@abdur1300 I think the point of the original comment was that the timing for this was good in a way that RDJ's maturing body helped compliment the character development.
@@rjdiskete14 even iron man one They couldn't use the mk1 suit for every scene because it was too awkward, so it was fully CGI most of the time. And there were bits of his redesigned suit that were CGI. In iron man 1
very heartwarming watching this, knowing it was the last year Stan Winston was around, and just hearing the passion still in his voice when he talks. He was a great legend for movie magic in Hollywood. :)
I kinda miss the days when the MCU films were under Paramount and Universal. Til this day Iron Man 1 is the best looking out of the franchise. The CGI and color grading just mixed so well. Not to mention that they were still using classic film reel. Which the film grain made them look very realistic. Nowadays everything looks digital and the colors are extremely washed. This 1 of the biggest problems I had with movies like Civil War. The CGI looks off in certain segments like Tony Stark when he has his helmet pulled down. And Spider-Man's CG suit looked faded.
The tone of the new Marvel movies feel so much different than Iron Man 2008. I just re-watched it a few days ago, and I was surprised at how much the opening act differed from the newer movies for Marvel. Definitely had a different feel that I prefer.
R. L: "Don't comment on old videos." Also R. L: *proceeds to reply to a comment on an old video* Use your noggin dude. You can't tell somebody not to comment on an old video and then you reply to that comment ON AN OLD VIDEO. Common sense. 😒

I am so happy I found this video, I had originally thought that all of the suits were CGI. So learning that the first few suits, my favorite ones in the series, were physically built for production is a delight to hear.

...their huge paychecks..even if your character has a small role! I bet Edward Norton kicked himself for not playing Hulk anymore...as well as the guy who played War Machine in Iron Man 1
@@robd1329 you do realise Edward Norton cared about the hulk. He was trying to write scripts that would be perfect for the character, but Kevin wasn't having it. He wanted the story to be lighthearted just like the ironman movie that came out prior. Kevin didn't like the direction which is why he got replaced with Mark Ruffalo
The first movies are always the best, because the productionteam puts all their creative effort and more into that film, trying to make it look real and legit as possible. As i now have witnessed with this footage, the team outdid themselves. Thats why the first ironmanfilm looks so fantastic. You can really imagine wearing that kind of suit yourself and they even made those movieprops. This is so amazing
It's not only because of the props, the film owes a great deal to digital technology, as do all those that followed. There are whole scenes where we only see the digital version of the armor and can't see the difference with the traditionally made one, and these scenes could never have been done with the latter. In fact, there's no scene in which the armor worn by the actor is complete, there is always only a part of it that is completed by digital.
What the public see in the movie: "Whoaa the cgi is awesome, the props are awesome! Love Tony Stark!" What the staff experience: lots of hard work, revision, over time, blood sweat and tears. Lots of respect to those people who work behind the scene
His comment about "I've got a 5-7 year window and then after that, the CGI stuff will evolved to make it better" is weirdly prophetic considering each movie had less and less actual iron man suits until end game where I think they just CGI'd the whole thing.
That's why RDJ nailed it. It wasn't just the look. Which was damn near perfect. It's that he was fucking stoked to be doing it. He was passionate about it out of the gate. That's the difference
The effort and skill put into making this for one movie, not counting the environments, pyro effects, stunts and everything else involved. It's incredible. Makes you really stand back and look and appreciate a movie more.
The effects are great. Love the First Iron Man movie from 2008. Its sad that Stan Winston died the same year. Wish he lived longer. He also deserved MORE than 4 Oscars in my oppinion. May He Rest In Peace. 💙
I've definitely rewatched the first iron man more than any other mcu. I think it would be remembered as a great movie even if the rest of marvel flopped and the mcu was cancelled. They did a damn good job
When you watch the movies you never imagine the BTS, I never think of all the ppl that these films go through, all this hard work and, at the same time, fun, that goes in the film. Truly awesome to see this
Gotta pay mad respects to Jon Favreau, having the weight of such a huge project on his shoulders. Had this movie failed, we would be talking about a different MCU or maybe no MCU at all. Marvel wasn't big back then, actually they were nothing at the time. This movie's success made it all possible and I think Jon had a bigger role than we actually give him credit for.
Apparently Whiplash in the second movie was a mixture of Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash... Which is interesting. I mean it makes sense because the villians in the Ironman movies are kinda a mixture of different characters. I think of the Mandarin in Ironman 3.
@@elishaschoonover8914 You're right. And I didn't think about Whiplash being a mixture of the two... Now I wish they would have colored his final battle armor, red. They wouldn't even have had to say it, the color would have been enough.
@@DasMuse You're correct. I looked up the character after I saw your comment and did some short research before replying. I wish they made it red too. Would've been more interesting.
This version of iron man is king for the real props they made for the movie instead of opting for special effects which deff made the move 100% better for the time that it was made in the first iron man b4 disney and its rendition of it all but also just amazing work by the prop team taking the time to make the suit look real to a existent past what you could do with any pc at the time props are king when you can do them and that what movies forget is that props are physical and can act as much in a movie as the actors!
It's not true at all. The film owes a great deal to digital technology, as do all those that followed. There are whole scenes where we only see the digital version of the armor and can't see the difference with the traditionally made one, and these scenes could never have been done with the latter. In fact, there's no scene in which the armor worn by the actor is complete, there is always only a part of it that is completed by digital.
*CGI make things look better and reach great heights. But ultimate respect go to people who build practical things. Bringing imaginations into the real world and making them practical (no matter how practical), is the greatest talent accomplishment.*
this time was like the perfect mixture of advanced enough technology but still using significant practical elements. I don't think people could have bonded with the transformation if it was CGI to begin with, we could feel the weight of the metal and understand how a guy could make it and fit into it. Nano tech is cool, but no one knows what that means, or understands how it fits into his chest piece, or where the floating laser things come from, or what a holographic shield is, but when he's soldering the circuits in his foot piece, and it's difficult to get out of, that's all gold
watching the production of the movie really makes you want to watch said movie to see how it turned out... i would know because its exactly what happened to me!
It's crazy to hear Robert talk about "5 to 7 years, and if 'this thing' goes longer." 14 years, 24 films, and $23 billion combined box office later.... Damn.
RDjr... You kickstarted MCU with an amazing performance by being Tony Stark... you were PERFECT for this role... When I went to see this in the theaters and everyone said "Wait until after the credits" and the easter eggs with MCU and tying the stories together. This "universe" model was unheard of...
Just how amazing of an actor RDJ is, going from his normal personality, with history and flaws, to play as Iron Man with a very different personality, while carrying many of the same flaws and some of that history back to his present alone, without spiraling again, is incredible. Mixing that with those teams for both the suit and the production, extremely skilled amazing teams in themselves... It's no question how Iron Man kicked off not only it's own franchise, but a much larger franchise with it.
I love how honest Sam Winston is. He is done working for his lifetime. ahaha. Just comes in and says; "Do more of that/ Make sure my name is on the screen".
A lot of people gave their very best and thus the masterpiece was made! Thank you all the teams that worked relentlessly and passionately to made this possible
How is he so suave and magnetic like just existing. It's fantastic! What a great actor. He worked so hard and really did his best in this role, and there couldn't have been a better actor for this franchise.
This is in a way, cinematic history. This film launched the entire MCU. The original Iron man is Iconic. I can't imagine anyone else playing Tony stark. Practical effects to me are crucial.
The fact that both Tony Stark and RDJ share the same personality , just gives a very nice feeling to the character and every time you watch some interview of him , it is like you watch a deleted scene
@@thegreatrobin2329 man no one can it should need high amount of energy to run and the energy source should be small and portable too,it's impossible for anyone to build with technology of this time
@@SmileyBoiEXE impractical, too heavy, and uncomfortable (Probably expensive too). Because there's no energy power sufficient to move the armor, the wearer need to support the armor, which is heavy as fuck. It's cool for 5 minutes. Later You'll drown in sweat and having muscle fatigue.
And this single handedly launched the MCU. This was the plan but it was a big "bet the company" type of thing. I encourage EVERYONE to listen to The Tim Ferriss show's interview with David Maisel. SUPER interesting for the back story of the MCU and beyond
Favreau is the best and that is real talent behind these movies and Marvel . He under appreciated and did fantastic directing and as Happy, and I remember the Sopranos .I think any Actor under good Direction could’ve played the part , but Downy owned it. Also he kickstarted all this franchise of what +-20 movies? Genius.
CHUD and Henenlotters Basket Case 1 are the perfect examples of early 80s New York "seediness". Just a filthy, disgusting city filled with harrlots and violence, especially in 82-87.
I'll never forget reading and hearing all the doubts when RDJ was announced to play Iron Man because of where his career was at the time. If only they knew...
5:17 reminds me of the Ultimate Iron Man comic book where Tony Stark had to wear a layer of blue paste over his skin as a child because of a skin condition.
This was the beginning of all my childhood days of reading comics coming to life. Seeing the guys behind it before they knew what a mega beast this first film would kick off made me tear up not gonna lie. Btw what a champ Robert D. was from the very start. You really can't hate that guy to this day. This vid popped up in my feed and it made my day. TY.
Hapi, thank you for the scene with Peter building his suit in the plane on "far from home." That was a beautiful culmination of you, Tony, and Spidey in the most awesome and humble way imaginable. That was expert level story telling!

Stunt doubles deserve to be in the Academy Awards.
Do they even have awards for this (I don't watch the Oscars or anything)?
Greatest action stunt
Greatest stunt sequence or something along these lines
@@blackSUAAAVE There are the Taurus Stunt Awards, but they have zero representation at the Oscars.
The first movies are always the best, because the productionteam puts all their creative effort and more into that film, trying to make it look real and legit as possible. As i now have witnessed with this footage, the team outdid themselves. Thats why the first ironmanfilm looks so fantastic. You can really imagine wearing that kind of suit yourself and they even made those movieprops. This is so amazing
ua-cam.com/video/JfbyiPaurlM/v-deo.html ❤️🕸🕷
It's not only because of the props, the film owes a great deal to digital technology, as do all those that followed. There are whole scenes where we only see the digital version of the armor and can't see the difference with the traditionally made one, and these scenes could never have been done with the latter. In fact, there's no scene in which the armor worn by the actor is complete, there is always only a part of it that is completed by digital.
What the public see in the movie: "Whoaa the cgi is awesome, the props are awesome! Love Tony Stark!"
What the staff experience: lots of hard work, revision, over time, blood sweat and tears.
Lots of respect to those people who work behind the scene
His comment about "I've got a 5-7 year window and then after that, the CGI stuff will evolved to make it better" is weirdly prophetic considering each movie had less and less actual iron man suits until end game where I think they just CGI'd the whole thing.
That's why RDJ nailed it. It wasn't just the look. Which was damn near perfect.
It's that he was fucking stoked to be doing it.
He was passionate about it out of the gate.
That's the difference
"you're zooming in on my hammer right now aren't you" ..RDJ really is Tony Stark
But iron man doesn’t have a hammer, Thor does

The effort and skill put into making this for one movie, not counting the environments, pyro effects, stunts and everything else involved. It's incredible. Makes you really stand back and look and appreciate a movie more.

The effects are great. Love the First Iron Man movie from 2008. Its sad that Stan Winston died the same year. Wish he lived longer. He also deserved MORE than 4 Oscars in my oppinion. May He Rest In Peace. 💙
8:14 When John first saw it, he was all smile. He was really "Happy"
😂😂😂
oh, that's a good pun
Easily the most rewatchable MCU movie.
I think thor ragnorok has great rewachability with the comedy colors music and action
I've definitely rewatched the first iron man more than any other mcu. I think it would be remembered as a great movie even if the rest of marvel flopped and the mcu was cancelled. They did a damn good job
@@ragingriver9012 GOTG scores well in that regard also, I believe.
Along with Thor Ragnarok, Avengers movies and winter soldier
"They hadn't cast anyone to be Iron Man"
Lol unintentional puns!
Took me a min 😂😂😂
Wait..I dont understand..can someone explain pls?
@@agentwiz169 It's a double entendre. Casting the character who would play Iron Man, and mold casting for the suit to a specific person.
@@madeinisekai I like your funny words, magic man
@@madeinisekai ohh now I get it..thank u
When you watch the movies you never imagine the BTS, I never think of all the ppl that these films go through, all this hard work and, at the same time, fun, that goes in the film. Truly awesome to see this
We've come a really long way since Iron Man 1. MCU really brought joy to the whole world when it needed it the most. Thanks guys, for all the effort.
Gotta pay mad respects to Jon Favreau, having the weight of such a huge project on his shoulders. Had this movie failed, we would be talking about a different MCU or maybe no MCU at all. Marvel wasn't big back then, actually they were nothing at the time. This movie's success made it all possible and I think Jon had a bigger role than we actually give him credit for.
You realise he has an exec producer credit on all MCU stuff since right? As does Louis Leterrier even though all he did was direct incredible hulk
I had no idea they originally planned for the main villain to be Crimson Dynamo... very cool.
RIP Stan Winston
I was thinking the same thing. I just figured they were naming the Iron Monger suit the Crimson Dynamo for some reason lol
Wow
Apparently Whiplash in the second movie was a mixture of Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash... Which is interesting. I mean it makes sense because the villians in the Ironman movies are kinda a mixture of different characters. I think of the Mandarin in Ironman 3.
@@elishaschoonover8914 You're right. And I didn't think about Whiplash being a mixture of the two... Now I wish they would have colored his final battle armor, red. They wouldn't even have had to say it, the color would have been enough.
@@DasMuse You're correct. I looked up the character after I saw your comment and did some short research before replying. I wish they made it red too. Would've been more interesting.
This version of iron man is king for the real props they made for the movie instead of opting for special effects which deff made the move 100% better for the time that it was made in the first iron man b4 disney and its rendition of it all but also just amazing work by the prop team taking the time to make the suit look real to a existent past what you could do with any pc at the time props are king when you can do them and that what movies forget is that props are physical and can act as much in a movie as the actors!
My dude, use punctuation. You're gonna make me fucking cry.
@@Zargabaath I see that is a round sentence !!
It's not true at all. The film owes a great deal to digital technology, as do all those that followed.

In fact, there's no scene in which the armor worn by the actor is complete, there is always only a part of it that is completed by digital.
This was great to watch. The guys designing all the gear behind the scenes are the true geniuses of the movies in this genre. Absolutely amazing.

RIP Mr Winston. Thank you for the iconic monsters/creatures/robots!
The first Iron Man movie is legendary. The story never becomes boring.
This movie and everything about it is perfect, the effects and story were 10/10 I wish it stayed this way.
8:13 When Jon first saw it he was all smiles. He was really Happy.
Me: "You don't say."
8:15 "When Jon first saw it. he was all smiles. He was really Happy." Oh yes... he really was.
Rdj IS Tony Stark. One of, if not , the best castings of all time.
Agree. I’d also say Hugh Hackman and Patrick Stuart for wolverine and professor x
Yes
Michel J Fox for Marty McFly is mine but RDJ is very close
@@DaneManGames also johnny depp in pirates of the caribbean
@@DaneManGames spot on
I wanna give thanks for the actors and most of all the men behind the scenes that make this movie come to life thankyou.
5:27 proves that RDJ is the most Funniest actor in Marvel
No its pulling his skin and the green makes it go smoother off the purple is very sticky.
Yes
*CGI make things look better and reach great heights. But ultimate respect go to people who build practical things. Bringing imaginations into the real world and making them practical (no matter how practical), is the greatest talent accomplishment.*
Iron Man 1 is a masterpiece, besides being a superhero/marvel movie.
It was a really good movie, but a "masterpiece"? Nahh
Im here still waiting for Marvel equivalent of 2008 DC The Dark Knight.
@@fynkozari9271 facts, that was a good movie
It was alright
It ain't a masterpiece m8... But the movie is hella *Underrated*
this time was like the perfect mixture of advanced enough technology but still using significant practical elements. I don't think people could have bonded with the transformation if it was CGI to begin with, we could feel the weight of the metal and understand how a guy could make it and fit into it. Nano tech is cool, but no one knows what that means, or understands how it fits into his chest piece, or where the floating laser things come from, or what a holographic shield is, but when he's soldering the circuits in his foot piece, and it's difficult to get out of, that's all gold
So much passion went into these movies by every single person. All of their effort payed out big time.
I never realized that Jon was the director of the movie, it didnt occur to me that he could be the director since he played the Happy Hogan character
One of the best ever movie ever made not just in the history of Hollywood but in the history of world cinema. The most cool looking realistic suit
watching the production of the movie really makes you want to watch said movie to see how it turned out... i would know because its exactly what happened to me!
3:57 - RIP Jimmy Rich. We miss you, man.
I sometimes forget that the character "Happy" is the director
I’ll be honest… I had no idea!
@@samanthamoore8693 same
Ikr
What? That guy was the director???
Yes, he was the director of Iron man 1,2, The jungle Book, Lion King (2019) and one of the directors of The Mandalorian and more.
No wonder why pre-production on certain films require years of preparation.
It's good to see how much fun this man had being iron man ,much respect to RJD
Picture it this way, if this movie had been a flop then the whole Marvel franchise wouldn't have happened. This started it all and dedication paid off
agreed
at this point robert downey didnt knew he's gonna be a main character of avengers :) his life changed after this movie
It's crazy to hear Robert talk about "5 to 7 years, and if 'this thing' goes longer." 14 years, 24 films, and $23 billion combined box office later....
Damn.
Truly incredible
RDjr... You kickstarted MCU with an amazing performance by being Tony Stark... you were PERFECT for this role... When I went to see this in the theaters and everyone said "Wait until after the credits" and the easter eggs with MCU and tying the stories together. This "universe" model was unheard of...
Just how amazing of an actor RDJ is, going from his normal personality, with history and flaws, to play as Iron Man with a very different personality, while carrying many of the same flaws and some of that history back to his present alone, without spiraling again, is incredible.
Mixing that with those teams for both the suit and the production, extremely skilled amazing teams in themselves... It's no question how Iron Man kicked off not only it's own franchise, but a much larger franchise with it.
*the fact that they built an entire real pratical armor makes the movie legit and really cool* 👍
Love that Peter Billingsley was a producer on this. Loved him as Ralphie, glad he's still in the business.
I love how honest Sam Winston is. He is done working for his lifetime. ahaha. Just comes in and says; "Do more of that/ Make sure my name is on the screen".
A lot of people gave their very best and thus the masterpiece was made! Thank you all the teams that worked relentlessly and passionately to made this possible

How is he so suave and magnetic like just existing. It's fantastic! What a great actor. He worked so hard and really did his best in this role, and there couldn't have been a better actor for this franchise.
This is in a way, cinematic history. This film launched the entire MCU. The original Iron man is Iconic.
I can't imagine anyone else playing Tony stark.
Practical effects to me are crucial.
spiderman is the first MCU
@@christiansarrazin4802 yes it is, but it didn't launch all the other characters like Iron man did

Boy was he off. 5 - 7 year window, please! I think you surpassed expectations, lol. Iron Man WAS and still IS the best MCU movie. Love it!!
The fact that both Tony Stark and RDJ share the same personality , just gives a very nice feeling to the character and every time you watch some interview of him , it is like you watch a deleted scene
Am I the only one who loves that first suit like anything which Tony had made in that cave ???
I think it looks like anyone would be able to make it in their workshop
@@thegreatrobin2329 then why hasn't anyone done it
@@thegreatrobin2329 man no one can it should need high amount of energy to run and the energy source should be small and portable too,it's impossible for anyone to build with technology of this time
@@SmileyBoiEXE impractical, too heavy, and uncomfortable (Probably expensive too). Because there's no energy power sufficient to move the armor, the wearer need to support the armor, which is heavy as fuck. It's cool for 5 minutes. Later You'll drown in sweat and having muscle fatigue.

RDJ, all the way! Best thing that ever happened to the MCU. Can't imagine anyone else playing that part. Even my 74 year old mother loved Ironman.
13:52 he called it. Now CGI is 90% of the movie and De-aging never looks out of place
As one that used to build props, these builders are insanely talented. Building a wearable hero suit of that calibre is extremely difficult to do.
And this single handedly launched the MCU. This was the plan but it was a big "bet the company" type of thing. I encourage EVERYONE to listen to The Tim Ferriss show's interview with David Maisel. SUPER interesting for the back story of the MCU and beyond
man theyre like genuinely having fun all the time thats awesome
Favreau is the best and that is real talent behind these movies and Marvel . He under appreciated and did fantastic directing and as Happy, and I remember the Sopranos .I think any Actor under good Direction could’ve played the part , but Downy owned it.
Also he kickstarted all this franchise of what +-20 movies?
Genius.
RDJ so damn savvy he makes a C.H.U.D reference while making Iron Man. Respect.
CHUD and Henenlotters Basket Case 1 are the perfect examples of early 80s New York "seediness". Just a filthy, disgusting city filled with harrlots and violence, especially in 82-87.
I'll never forget reading and hearing all the doubts when RDJ was announced to play Iron Man because of where his career was at the time. If only they knew...
5:17 reminds me of the Ultimate Iron Man comic book where Tony Stark had to wear a layer of blue paste over his skin as a child because of a skin condition.
This was the beginning of all my childhood days of reading comics coming to life. Seeing the guys behind it before they knew what a mega beast this first film would kick off made me tear up not gonna lie. Btw what a champ Robert D. was from the very start. You really can't hate that guy to this day. This vid popped up in my feed and it made my day. TY.
Hapi, thank you for the scene with Peter building his suit in the plane on "far from home." That was a beautiful culmination of you, Tony, and Spidey in the most awesome and humble way imaginable. That was expert level story telling!
Oraginal Iron is my favorite! Those armors look were soo realistic! But after the first Avenger movie those armors look so CGI!
