Stark's been in captivity for months, he wants a good American cheeseburger... So they take him to Burger King?! Gets me every time. Couldn't they get the poor guy a good burger? He is a billionaire. He could've spent more than 2$ on lunch.
Somewhere in the universe there has to be something better than man
There are plenty of times I'd rather have the cheap cheeseburgers at BK than an overpriced burger from somewhere else. Recently had a great big double cheeseburger from Hooters, and it was the single worst burger I've ever had in my entire life.
shareSounds like something that was added in the script for a Burger King promotion.
shareSounds like you're jumping to conclusions. An article was posted earlier explaining the Burger King connection:
Robert Downey Jr. has publicly thanked Burger King for helping him overcome his problems with addiction. The fast food chain, he says, also helped to resurrect his career.
The fast food epiphany happened in 2003 when the "Iron Man" star was driving a car piled with "tons of f---ing dope," Downey Jr. told Britain's Empire magazine. The actor decided to pull over for a burger and everything changed.
"I have to thank Burger King," he said. "It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen." Downey Jr. says he then tossed all of his drugs into the ocean, deciding right then and there to clean up his act.
Downey Jr. hints that a fateful moment in "Iron Man," when his character Tony Stark requests a cheeseburger from Burger King after being released from his captors, is a reference to his own experiences.
I'm not jumping to conclusions. Regardless of the backstory, I'm sure it was still viewed as an ideal marketing tactic. Iron Man was a very popular movie when it first came out. I'm sure adding in Burger King didn't hurt the company any.
