When Stark is signing an autograph for two kids, he points out that one of them looks like Ralphie Parker from the 1983 film, A Christmas Story. The actor that played Ralphie, Peter Billingsley, also produced Iron Man and Iron Man 2.

“No hard feelings, Point Break” – Avengers: Assemble. Tony Stark might be the king of pop culture nicknames and this one is pretty damn apt for the surfer-looking Asgardian God of Thunder. So good, in fact, that Thor: Ragnarok references the reference by making it Thor’s password to access the Quinjet. Damn you, Stark.

The Iron Man image surfaced on the Marvel Studios subreddit and shows a shipping manifest that proved Jeff Bridges’ Obadiah Stane had been dealing arms under the table. The unsubtle reference to Jeff Bridges’ The Big Lebowski comes from the name of the vessel transporting the missiles: the MSC Lebowski. It’s a brilliantly sneaky reference to The Big Lebowski in a brief moment from Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man.

Another movie zinger from Tony Stark, who references Westworld, the 1973 movie starring Yul Brynner as a killer cyborg. In Iron Man 3, the Extremis-enhanced villain, Eric Savin, looks a lot like Brynner’s Gunslinger and is just as deadly – as it turns out, though, he’s no match for the Mark XLII.
