20 Brilliantly Obscure Comic Book Movie Easter Eggs You Didn't Notice

8. Iron Man Cartoon Music (Iron Man)

In 2008's Iron Man movie, after Tony Stark had liberated an Afghan village from their terrorist captors in his Iron Man, James "Rhodey" Rhodes had sent a pair of fighter jets after the unidentified "bogey" (Stark) when he received a phone call from the man himself. Stark attempted to deny any knowledge of the incident, but a notable thing about the scene is that Rhodey's ringtone was a funky little midi version of the 1966 Iron Man cartoon theme music. In fact, in the same movie, the same music (albeit a jazz version, not a midi version) was playing as Tony and Rhodey walked through a casino in Las Vegas - both scenes giving a cool nod to a classic show starring the titular hero.
