00:00Did you know that in Iron Man 3 this scene proves that the special effects of the old
00:03Mordo movies are much better than the current ones? Do you remember when Tony Stark threw
00:07the arc reactor into the ocean? But what if I tell you that in that scene it wasn't Robert Downey
00:11Jr.?
00:11During the filming of the movie, the actor suffered an ankle injury that kept him away
00:15from the set for six weeks. Since they were already in the final stretch of filming,
00:18they didn't want to waste that time, so they decided to hire a double very similar to Robert
00:22to film the missing scenes and then add the actor's face using CGI. However, one of those
00:26scenes was precisely the ending of the film and, if you notice, Tony Stark doesn't speak at any
00:30moment, since the whole sequence is narrated. This probably happened so that the special effects
00:34team wouldn't have as much work in post-production, literally because if Tony had spoken, his mouth
00:38would have moved in a strange way, just like Henry Cavill's Superman face in Justice League.
