MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! BEWARE!

Hey Again!

ImageI hope you guys enjoyed the video, images and report from Iron Man that we sent in a couple of days ago, it was cool to see it online, wanted to let you know that we checked it out again last night, we actually got kinda gutsy this time and we able to get a lot more. “Jolie” stood watch, she was too scared to go that close, so I took a buddy of mine and we went in. Start the Mission Impossible theme song now.

Remember how we were told that the final battle was going to be totally CGI? Not true, I did a lot of sneaking around the set last night and was able to capture Iron Man on video.

I have to tell you, the security was super tight, way more than the other night.  I was surprised we didn’t get caught just walking around the area. First of all the production is huge. It seems to grow each day.

We were able to get pretty close to the set this time, at one point we were only about 20 feet away from the action and were able to see some really great stuff.

The scene we saw was of Iron Man on his back in the actual fucking suit!

Obviously, we had to be careful since I had a video camera on me. We saw them rehearse over and over again. I shot as much as I could but we had to keep hiding from the people on set. I am assuming this scene is right after the one we saw the first time, after Iron Man and Iron Monger get blown through the wall on the side of the freeway.

I can only piece together what we saw but here's what I assume happens, I can't be sure but there were some huge holes blown in the side of a semi-truck. So I think they blow through the wall, through the semi truck and out the other side. Iron Man lands on the freeway. I got some shots of the semi-truck with the huge hole in it.

It looks like he gets hit by something on the freeway, (a passing car?) and is on the ground. He sits up and shakes his head, like to shake it off. He turns to get on all fours then slowly tries to get up. There were guys around him tuning up the suit often, like they had to oil him up or something, reminded me of having to oil up the tin man except, this suit probably cost half a million dollars! No tin foil here.

I was surprised at how agile the Mark 3 suit was. At one point I swear the guy was tap dancing on set. We couldn't shoot that though it would have blown our cover.  The chest plate was lit up and so were the eyes. At one point it looked like he was staring right at us!

I think it was a stunt guy and not Downey but we couldn't bet our lives on it.

I caught some of this on the video, but like I said I had to keep hiding, I swear the one guy saw me, you can see it at the end of the video.

Now here comes the coolest part, but we didn't get it on tape. Only saw this as we walked through the area but we couldn't pull out a camera else we would have been caught right then and there.

Ready? We saw Iron Monger!!!! Well, at least I assume it's Iron Monger. But it wasn't an actual suit, there was a guy wearing huge boots and holding  what looked like a huge cut-out that must be for CGI reference. The stand in was holding this tall wooden stick with a large cut out of something on top of it. I didn't put it together until later on, but this was the stand in for the other iron suit, which I assume to be Iron Monger, that Iron Man is fighting. The cutout was unmistakably the top of another Iron Suit. Since the stand in was only wearing large robotic looking boots, I would assume Monger will have to be purely CGI generated.

I didn't get any shots of the Iron Monger stand in/cut out next to Iron Man, but if the Iron Man suit is say 6 feet tall, then Iron Monger is at least 8 feet tall!

Anyway, I was hoping you could post this additional footage and iamges, especially after the picture of the suit was released yesterday. I seriously can't wait for this film!
