Iron Man 2: A Rocky III Rip-Off?

Nothing is more fascinating than a vast rip-off conspiracy, which is definitely the way to classify the marvelous parallels drawn today between Iron Man 2 and Rocky III. Successful, wealthy men gone complacent? Check. Formidable, blind-siding enemies? Check? Good-vs.-evil preparation montages? Check, right down to the villain's solitude. And so on. If it weren't for the key difference that Talia Shire did all her own stunts, someone might have a lawsuit on their hands. [Moviefone]
