Iron Man 3 China version

So it was announced that the Iron Man 3 movie will have additional scenes in the China screenings. That got everyone jumpy. What is so pivotal about that scene and how does it impact the movie. Well fret not cause it doesn't at all and I have no idea why they actually bother.

Below are the scenes that are added.

- Before the film's proper opening, a question appears on the screen asking “What does Iron Man rely on to revitalize his energy?" It dissolves and the answer, “Gu Li Duo," is revealed. Gu Li Duo is a popular energy drink in China. a WTF scene.

- The rest of the 4 minutes worth of additional footage features Chinese actor Dr. Wu having a phone conversation in his Beijing office. During the all-Chinese conversation, Iron Man can be seen on a television playing with children at one of China's landmarks. Dr. Wu doesn't appear again until the ending of the film where he is shown operating on Stark and having a conversation with his unnamed assistant played by Chinese star Fan Bingbing.

And there you have it, nothing lost nothing gained. No big deal of a scene anyway. I wonder if that is why Andy Lau turned down the role.
