The Iron Giant FAQs

Iron Giant is a classic science fiction story that has fascinated generations of kids and adults alike. It is the story of a boy named Hogarth Hughes who wants to become an astronaut. He forms a unique friendship with a giant metal robot, the Iron Giant, and together they face evil forces in this inspiring story.

Why Is The Iron Giant Flopped?

The Iron Giant was a blockbuster commercial failure; it not only cost Warner Bros. $20 million, but they earned back less than half of that in theatric revenue and rentals. A drop off of 50% is unusual for a movie, much less one whose marketing worked from the moment it entered production (the giant robot’s appearance at Disneyland had been teased since the release of the feature film).

The 20th Century Fox marketed this new kind.

Why Is The Iron Giant So Good?

1. The Iron Giant is not so much a traditional story, but it successfully uses satire to lend horrific relevance when the fantastic enters fair play.
2. It’s pretty easy to say what makes a bad film great without judgement or malice; this movie is actually extremely entertaining from start to finish! After all I wanted more!

Is The Iron Giant On Netflix?

No. This is odd, because not only has it never been released on video anywhere in the world, but also every country except for Japan where this movie was notoriously known as Ilchi-Gin no Sampo (The Comedy of Iron and Steel), which translates to “Iron Man’s Three Friends”. However even though it was less popular than The Cat from Outer Space in Japan (an obvious basing point when judging popularity there).

Is The Iron Giant Superman?

Yes and no. The Iron Giant is Superman in his silver under-pants; he’s big, strong, threateningly powerful and much like Clark Kent & Lois Lane at home with a pet cat (with Superman being the obvious addition of “featuring fictional character from other media”)

Is The Iron Giant Anti-Gun?

No. Just as Clark Kent is not “anti-gun” or a lawyer, neither are The Iron Giant and Hogarth Hughes. I don’t know exactly what would be anti-, but this mythical giant’s actions play off the same kind of stereotype that we’ve all seen in movies before: there’s no such thing as the good guy anymore; nobody walks away from gunfire, it just has its fair share depending on who shot it.

Will The Iron Giant Have A Sequel?

No. Did I set that up? Yes, it’s pretty obvious. Alternately you could probably make an argument that this film is The Cat from Outer Space’s sequel.

Was The Iron Giant Sent To Destroy Earth?

No. His primary mission is to destroy a nuclear missile base; the war of The Iron Giant’s fight with the Army surrounds this structure being destroyed and there are specific references in his final act that indicate it wouldn’t have been built if not for alien intervention (or, we suppose, Weird Science).

Did Disney Make The Iron Giant?

No. Warner Bros had made Miracle man and Megaton Man, who I’ll cover later in this article series (specifically The Black Hole by the Playmates Toys). After only a couple years everyone else likely saw Iron Giant as “Disney’s version of Twisted Metal” and went back to their corners for another decade or two.

What Does The Iron Giant Say Before He Died?

I dare not transcribe it. Why? It’s a line that is uttered by either Hugo Gunther (the Robby the Robot-type mocha) or Hogarth Hughes and I’ll be damned if I guess which one said it. If you want to know who says each “quote”, check out IMDB

Simpsons Special: Iron Giant Directed by Matt Groening (who created Bart & Flanders), right here on FOX.

Did The Iron Giant Live?

In the Iron Giant’s last moment, Hogarth breaks his katana to no affect. He remains standing and seems fine by the end of it all; as he prepares to die a second time (this is one of only two times where I think hey, someone dies in an action/fantasy movie), Jonny Carson joins him saying “Die again? Great!”

Was This Intended To Be Hugo Gunther At First?

I doubt that would have been the original intention, but it was nice to play with that conceit. There are many definite differences; Hugo Gunther (female in the show) is depicted as a warrior and a vein one at that who had spent thousands of hours perfecting his katana’s swing. Hogarth has no known background or history beyond being America’s best airman during World War II, which means he would never theoretically speak French like real-life.

Hogarth got into a car accident before the series began and injured his hip.

Why Doesn’t Anyone Believe In An Iron Monster That Eats Up Machinery?

Because they’re too busy thinking about the fact that a “smart” giant who can read and write human language could never exist in any real time science fiction world.

What Happens To Jermyn Hogarth?

I’ll put this on a spoiler tag as I’m too lazy. Jermyn Hogarth (the Iron Man in line with the original comic book series) was actually killed by Agent Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers, who were aiming at Tony Stark but instead gunned down Jermyn while protecting him when they thought he would be too dangerous. When it turns out Osborn made such an error of judgement that whole thing is done away with again.

Why Did Hogarth Cut The Wire?

So, nothing could show up in Jessica and Dead No More, where she had to have it looked like Luke was fighting directly with the Russian crime boss. How long did that issue take? At least a couple weeks if not half of them as well, since the story for this volume has been getting longer. As for why Hogarth didn’t cut off nice big chunks or even put something on their leaving some kindling so someone else would just light it.

Why Did The Giant Come To Earth?

Was it for food, was his radiation enough to cause a chain reaction of other giant like entities on Earth? Was he relocated by another god as Marvel Zombies suggested but why not announce so that everyone could know about the giant and have them battle him at will? Maybe because Iron Man or Mister Fantastic didn’t realize what happened until later in time (like when Luke Cage spoke of seeing the Giant first months after Daredevil’s trial).
