In the most recent Iron Man movie with Robert Downey, Jr., I noticed there was something familiar about the music during that hotel/casino scene towards the beginning. And then Pepper Potts' mobile phone goes off a couple of times. The ringtone was almost instantly recognizable for me, and I just knew it- they HAD to use the theme from the old Iron Man cartoon.
Check out a clip of the opening theme which I found on YouTube:
I remember watching the cartoon on weekday afternoons after school in the eighties, not knowing that at the time, the show was already almost 20 years old! I only found out fairly recently that the old Marvel cartoon made its first TV appearance in 1967 or 68.
Totally cheesy, I know. But it sure brings back some great childhood memories, for sure.
Check out my other blog entries on "Everything You Need To Know About Iron Man" on my other blog,
"Renzie on Movies", which I wrote after checking out the kick-ass Iron Man movie. You can read
