21 Incredibly Obscure Marvel Movie Easter Eggs

3. Rhodey's Ringtone - Iron Man

When Tony takes the Iron Man suit out for a spin and finds himself assailed by two fighter jets that mistake him for an enemy drone, Tony is forced to call his pal Rhodey and ask for some assistance.

As "The Starkster" calls Rhodey, a MIDI ringtone blares out of Rhodey's phone, and if you think it sounds familiar, it just might be because it's the theme tune to the 1966 Iron Man cartoon series. OK, so you probably didn't think it sounded familiar, but if you did, give yourself a round of applause and a firm pat on the back.

The MIDI ringtone of course makes the scene seem hilariously dated nowadays, but such is the nature of progress.
