If iron man existed how much could it cost?

Both arms and legs.

What’s iron man?

We have no measure by which to judge the cost of building an Iron Man (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/) suit, as the materials used do not exist in reality.

No, but you could build ghetto iron man. He could ba all steampunked out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk

Someone on instructables.com could probably manufacture a suit for about 1K. But it’d be more if it needed to fly and shoot missiles. lol

more than a senate oversight committee would spring for

@all: so should I add it to my list of “Must Miss” movies? Or the summertime “Brains-under-the-Seat ” list, which we do watch?

It does exist and it cost me $10.50, not including popcorn and a diet coke.

@gail
I thought the plot for the movie was very interesting and well thought out, especially if you consider that it is based on a comic book series.

So, “Brains-under -the-seat? Easier here since ticket is only $4:00 and popcorn inedible.

If “brains-under-the-seat” means its worth seeing, then yes. Even my mother liked it, and she usually hates action movies. I think it appeals to a large audience because it is,of course, an action movie, and it has romantic elements too.

Good thing he was not copper man or some thief would steal the suit and sell it for scrap!

@Nick So did you like the movie? I have been wanting to see it since I saw an interview with Robert Downey Jr. about it.

“Brains etc” means that we would see it in the summertime if it were playing nearby and took no effort on our part – like plowing the driveway and putting on the face mask.

I would definitely place it in that category. It’s good, but not something to go way out of your way to see.

This should help if you’re still wondering. Also, in Iron Man 2 a similar suit (the Hammer version) is said to be $125.7 million if I remember correctly.
