Ohai there
Woohoo! First first evar! =)
…… … no… must not…… do it…….
.. must…. not .. feed …. the trolls…
….. oh s**t.
Oh great… awaiting moderation? My comments going to get lost…. Shouldn’t have sworn – forget it, your a troll enough said.
And you can’t spell. Your =/= you’re. Lurk Moar @ Failblog
Spelling =/= Grammar. Okay?
the grammar nazis strike again
In this case, yes.
Looks like IronMan on drugs, look how thin he is
Who is Metal Man?
A robot Master from MegaMan 2
^win
what omgzad said.
i was going to say just that
a rip off movie star
It’s just the german translation of the movie.
No, it clearly isn’t: different look, different cast, not a single actor from Iron Man appears on that box cover. this is one of those movies that trades on confusion: it kinda looks like, and kinda sounds like, a more famous film.
it isnt, its still iron man
Not Iron Man
Hmm, a bootleg disguised as a cheesy knock off? That’s kind of clever.
It’s not Iron Man. Metal Man is one of the trend of ‘mockbusters’ that gets made and released just before the cinema release of big budget features. Other examples include: Transmorphers, Transmorphers: Fall Of Man, The Day The Earth Stopped, etc… Look up a production company called ‘The Asylum’ and discover some truly tacky flicks. Hell, they even did a High School Musical type thing!
Mr. Anonymous is right its clearly the german translation look at the box people “OMG IRON GOT CHANGED TO METAL WHEN IT CHANGED LANGUAGES!!!!” its just the german translation guys no fail here
No. It’s a mockbuster film. Iron Man is still Iron Man in german.
Since when is “Metal Man” German? How could a German translation (which would be “Eisenmann” for “Iron Man” – despite the fact that the movie title wasn’t translated anyways) consist of English words? o_O
The more you know: When the comics were first published in Germany, Iron Man was known as “Der Eiserne” (The Iron One), along with “The X-Men” “Gruppe X” (Group X), “Spider-Man” “Die Spinne” (The Spider) and so on and so forth. However, during the ninetees, all Superheroes’ names reverted back to their original names with the exception of “The Mighty Avengers”, who only had that name on the covers and were known as “Die ruhmreichen Rächer” (The glorious Avengers) inside. Iron Man was never known as Metal Man in Germany. This is indeed a mockbuster.
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope, Sorry.
FAIL!
LOL you are SOOOOO far off xD
EPIC fail
german ftw
Ein ganzer Held dank Chappi!
Half man.
Half machine.
One whole hero!
not really german ftf
First.
Heck >.>
Heh heh heh.
not even close
Is this a movie or a video game?
Because if it’s a movie:
It’s not a fail, it’s not even the right movie. Metal Man’s head isn’t the right shape for Iron Man, though it’s clearly an imitation. Not to mention, not one of those people in the bottom looks familiar. Parody?
That’s why its a f uuuuuuucccki ng fail, ya idiot. Also, Failblog commenters (self excluded) are the most idiotic commenters anywhere!
So mockbuster = fail?
Mockbuster = win. They’re sooo f-in’ fun XD
My only problem is they’re priced roughly the same as the actual movies :/
Wow. Got fireproof gear? ‘Cause you’re about to get flamed! Are you serious? You have no business calling people idiots. (sarcasm—> And I love how you say “self exluded” You pretty much said “I am the smartest person here, and you are all complete and total RETARDS!!!”. You deserve to be trolled. Calling all trolls! You have complete clearance to troll Erik! Troll at will! NO MERCY!
YAY TROLLS. MAYBE YOU CAN GET /B/
hmm, brings to mind rule 31
lulz, isn’t he cute, little 8 year old thinks he’s all grown up with the swearing and the “tough talk”.
Kids these days, always want attention, in whatever way they get it. Don’t worry chum, maybe someone irl will love you and see that you have value, in spite what your mother tells you.
A little hostile, aren’t you?
Youtube people fail hard.
If it’s ment to be a parody, how is this a fail? O.o
right dude. thats why i got 1st in my state in math competition. 24 on ACT in the 7th grade. don’t be hating on people that don’t deserve it. most people who look like they do are just trying to annoy you anyway (and it worked). You just made yourself look like 1 of the biggest idiots and deserve to be flamed. Come here to have fun and if you don’t then don’t complain and ruin everyone else’s.
Ok “win” machine. Arrogance doesn’t exactly trump arrogance, champ. You should have pretty much deleted your first three sentences to give your retort some credibility…
No, I think you can safely include yourself, troll.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1233217/
It’s not a Parody. It’s one of those cheap knockoff films that you see in the cheap dvd pile that they make to get some money from a big name blockbuster hit. Yeah, the head isn’t the exact same shape, why would it be? If they did that, they’d be sued, and lose all of the money they made from people too stupid to tell the difference between a blockbuster and a knockoff.
yeah right – knockoff…
like metal man – the comic which was published since 1962 was a knockoff off iron man which “original new idea” came into stan lees mind as early as 1963…
If you’re thinking of the comic Metal MEN, a comic about a GROUP of Robot superheroes… It has nothing to do with this. Iron Man and Metal Men have actually nothing in common.. Metal Men are robots, Iron Man is Tony Stark in a suit.. So please stop spamming..
It’s a Movie and it’s not a parody .. the subtitle down there means :
half man, half machine, a true hero ..
this 12 FSK thing means Freiwillige SelbstKontrolle = voluntary self control .. that’s only for movies. for games it is USK ..means Unterhaltungssoftware SelbstKontrolle = amusement software self control… as movie or videogame maker you gotta do that in germany to define the age you can play the game or watch the movie with..
AHHAH Its not big enough yet make i can’t see it
English FAIL. Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle = Self-monitoring of ENTERTAINMENT Software.
“Amusement” just sounds wrong.
Hehehe, the german-speaking dude got grammar nazi’d!
“though it’s clearly an imitation” YA THINK?
His Heart is made of Melru!
Because this isn’t one of those days where he loves you.
Get Equipped with… Metal Blade!
Yeah, best weapon in the game. Metal Man > Iron Man.
wow…..
He Got something in his face
This seems 100% legit to me
FIRST!!!
Lol.
no fail
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1233217/
title = no fail
movie = FAIL
what is it like a rip off of iron man?
Gee I wonder……
no, iron man was a ripp off of metal man and so the metal man movie would be way more original…
but iron man is in fact way better.
Epic Fail!
Part man… part machine… all FAIL
I was thinking this was going to be in German so then at least I could make fun of them. But this is one complete indie rip off. Is it supposed to be an iron man parody? Because its certainly funny as hell(not really).
well german tv always rip off american tv so do the movies
Yeah, except that the movie is made in the US by a US producer.
Tony Stark Creation were originally designed by the great german inventor Karl Ranseier.
As well all Comic Characters based on him which were stolen by marvel and dc
Karl Ranseier ist tot
Wait why didnt my reply stick to the comment I meant to reply to?
Because you are an asshat?
Just saying.
“Trolling FTW just got an upgrade…”
Umm I wasnt trolling. The site really was having a problem with the reply button. But it looks like they fixed it. I just wish they deleted my comment when it was.
Eeeeeew
Why do people always think making the hero purple is a legit alteration to have a completely different movie? See also: The Phantom.
Uh…in the comic strip, the phantom is purple.
Man, the cinematic effects look soooo cheap… How do I know this is some cheap euro b-movie?
You don´t because it is an cheap us b-movie
“Saving the world just got an upgrade!”
**VOMIT**
Iron Man’s 3rd Partner LOL!
Come on people, get real.
What’s next? Calling Robocop fail because it’s also about a guy in a metal suit? RoboCop could have been named Robo Man after all.
Yeah, except what we are talking about here is an obvious knockoff of a current movie franchise. I mean it’s called METAL MAN and he has a VERY IRON MAN LOOKING SUIT. Get the idea of the fail?
No actually a lot of us don’t. Crap != fail.
except that iron man is in fact a ripp off of metal man…
stan lee copied a concept that actually was published since 1962.
and the movies launched the same year, so it would be hard for one to ripp off the other.
Stop saying Iron Man is a “ripp off” of Metal Man. There is no comic called Metal Man… there is one called Metal Men about a team of robots that started in 1962. There is a big difference between a scientist that created a group of robots and a weapons manufacturer creating a suit of armor to save his life.
can you say copyright infringement?
Some number!! er… maybe23rd> erm… no… *counts* er… FIRST!!
Anyone else think that looks like Luke Skywalker?
Yes.
That was my first guess, too.
Actually, whenever a successful movie comes out, a smaller studio makes a ripoff version it hoping it’ll confuse people into buying it. This happens all the time in the film industry. Source: I’m in the film industry.
yeah, that’s called a Class B Movie
and more specifically The Asylum
Hey, don’t diss the Asylum. They can put out a movie every month where it takes other studios almost a year each.
Technically, it’s called Shovelware.
hmmm… so who would be the ripp off? they both launched the same year what would make it difficult for the second movie to ripp off the first one.
plus the comic iron man is a ripp off of the comic metal man. stan lee hat this “unique” idea a year after dc launched metal man…
Too bad it’s not Man-O-Steel Man.
What……
the hell
does any one think the title looks like star wars a bit?
the main character looks a little like luke skywalker.
its like a sci fi channel original
^WIN^
Why hasn’t anyone posted the IMDB link yet?
What? Why don’t I?
Ok… fair enough…
Here you go:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1233217/
this isn’t a fail. it’s a german movie. chill. other languages exist.
creativity fail
Yeah, and POP station isn’t a fail because it is a Chinese device. Because that makes so much sense. I think your name sounds too German though. Troll?
“Metal Man” is actually The Hulks name for Ironman……sooo I guess there is some merit to the name….
unsubscribe
I want to see that s**t!
I am Synonym Man !!!!!
This happens if a special effects technican becomes a movie director for the first time: 2.1 points on IMDB.
It’s more of a copy fail than a title fail, isn’t it. But such copies fail most of the time so I don’t see the big fun.
Punctuation FAIL. LOL
Trash, sure. But FAIL? Anything about “Metal man” I don’t get as a non-native speaker?
Is that from The Asylum? Because if so, it’s not really a fail, it’s exactly what they’re going for. They’re the gods of knockbusters.
Ok let me clear this up for everyone metal man was a japanese show back in the day it was really famous and a great success, so I guess they tried to make a movie out of it, in the end it wasent the greatest so all in all
this fail=failed movie.
Ah yes, the classic tale of Timmy Stork, billionaire industrial type person.
Not a fail.
Don’t you know Transmorphers?
http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/richmedia/images/cover.gif
Oh, the iron-y!
http://www.imdb.de/title/tt1233217/
haha great rating
I belive thats a knock off win
what’s next aracno dude?!
Not English => Fail fail.
Mockbusters are by default a fail.
FIRST!!!!!!1!
ha ha ha! Luke Skywalker and Count Duku !!!
I was going to say that this metal man guy looked like a love child between General Grievous and Tony Stark.
That’s just Iron Man German version
no. no it isn’t
Wow. Film production companies like these are really the worst and still going strong in Hollywood. Making VERY cheap knock offs of big budget films with titles (and cover art) different enough not to warrant a lawsuit in the US and similar enough that when translated into other languages that have fewer words than English, they’ll be the same as the film they mean to steal sales from. The original studio loses overseas sales and the consumer is stuck with a fraudulent product. No one wins, but the swindler. Yuck.
iron man – the comic is a ripp off of metal man (published by dc a year before stan lee had that idea *yeah*)
both films were finished in 2008 not even half a year in between – impossible for one to ripp off the other.
I saw that Scott Levy was in it, and was all like, “Cool, Raven!” Different guy, though.
Count Smokula, Count Chocula…
hey it’s with Reggie Bannister, he (plays) is one of my favourite cult characters (in Phantasm 1-4).
LOL
dude, i want to watch that. XD
probably some pirated copy from china…
Who so bad translate movie title!? I wanted know in witch country?
This movie reminds me of another movie… Zinc Man? Copper Man? I just can’t put my finger on it… I think they made a sequel this year but God dammit, I just can’t remember that name!
Man of Steel… Wait…
Dah dah dah-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-nana…
Rofl watch the trailer of “Metal Man” at YouTube and watch the comments… Hahaha “Saving the world just got an Upgrade”
Looks like Metal Man could use a sandwich!
it seems like a whole different movie.
i would guess asylum….and all asylum movies are win…..just watch Terminators or the day the earth stoped
Not good old asylum, check out the releasing group here
http://www.midnightreleasing.com/metalman.php
Also check out their “prestigious” catalog….
This…is…WINFAIL!!!
Well… at least it’s got alliteration
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1233217/
it’s just a stupid straigt-to-dvd b movie. and the us version is called metal man, too.
This movie looks like it cost 5 dollars to make
That might be enough to feed a village for a year where it was probably made.
What a lame knock-off of Iron Man….
Check out what Netflix thinks are similar titles:
http://i.imgur.com/499pc.png
Does anyone else think that “Metal Man” looks like HK-47, or are the shrooms just messing with my vision again?
FAIL! Capcom should sue for Metalman from Megaman 2. Besides, megaman 2′s metalman is 10x awesomer. he doesnt punch stuff, he throws sawblades.
Metal Blades.
That guy on the cover looks like Bill Paxton…
Does he die in two hits from his own weapon?
Lol why is that a fail you Dork? Its an 90s Movie of the original comic – Iron man Movie is just a remake.
Yeah who the heck is gonna pay 10 bucks for that crap movie?
They should call these movies the “Grandma” versions. Because that’s what she’s going to get you for Christmas, mistaking it for Iron Man at the bargain store.
And for $9.99….really? That’s how much the real movie costs.
Looks nothing like that boss from MegaMan 2. I call shenanigans.
It’s obviously a cheap knock-off of Superman.
lol jk
first
a) This is the german title, it’s not a fail
b) it’s 9.99 € not $
c) You all are an EPIC fail because of your missing knowledge …
d) It’s not my motherlanguage and I don’t care if my orthography’s not correct.
Get a brain or take a break. But please, stfu …
a) Iron Man is still Iron Man in whatever language you say/write it in.
b) How is that relevant to anything?
c) It has already been established that Metal Man is a parody. If you scroll a bit upwards, you’ll find links and Trailers of said Parody, So it’s really you who are an EPIC fail.
d) Agreed.
No, YOU stfu!
But, just for you.. Here’s the link again:

So original. The best film since Turkish Rambo.
