Men with guns attack a village, people run into a building, they are chased and shot (we hear the gunshots), others are forced into a truck and the men are lined up against a wall to be shot and one man is struck and kicked while on the ground (the attack is interrupted before they are shot). Men with guns hold other men on the ground on their knees, they receive orders to "take care of things" and we hear gunshots (suggesting that all of the men were killed).
A wounded man goes to fight off enemies but never comes back and another man discovers him with blood on his chest and face dies. Two men open a cell door, it explodes and they are thrown and killed (we see their bodies).
A man in a metal suit picks up a car with a woman and children inside (they scream) and prepares to throw the car but does not, he grabs a motorcycle and flings it against a wall (throwing the driver off), and he is then thrown into a bus and the bus explodes (he is shot out and into the sky).
Someone falls into a reactor and causes an enormous explosion. A man wearing a metal suit is shot out of the sky by a rocket, crashes to the ground (he's OK), he then fires on the tank that fired at him and blows it up (we don't see anyone inside the tank). A man wearing a metal suit shoots and destroys many weapons causing large explosions.
A man in a metal suit flies through the air, is shadowed by two fighter jets, a rocket is fired at him, he blows up the rocket, clings to the belly of one plane, the plane spins trying to knock him off, he lets go, one plane crashes into him breaking its wing, the plane spins out of control, and the pilot ejects -- his parachute deploys just before it is too late.
A man in a metal suit is shot at repeatedly, he shoots a rocket at a man and it explodes behind him (we see the man later with a badly scarred face), shoots a flame thrower that ignites many men (we see men running in flames), as well as stockpiles of weapons, causing explosions.
A man in a metal suit shoots several men who hold people with guns to their heads (we see the men slump to the ground dead, there's no blood).
A man in a metal suit punches through a wall, pulls a man out through the hole and slams him to the ground (people standing around him move closer to him suggesting that they are going to attack him).
Two men in metal suits fight: one stomps on the chest of the other, one is thrown, one has cables yanked out of its mechanisms, one shoots at the other, and one threatens to kill the other.
We see a man thrashing and screaming during a surgical procedure, and we see bloody tissue being removed and a device being implanted.

Tony Stark is seen using alcohol in many scenes of the movie.
Many people drink alcohol at a party, two men drink sake and appear drunk later, a man drinks alcohol, three flight attendants hold glasses of champagne while dancing, and a man drinks alcohol while riding in a military vehicle. A man puffs on a cigar (no smoke is evident), and a man smokes a pipe.

Some of the terrorist scenes could be considered scary or intense.
After Iron Man accidentally damages a fighter jet and forces the pilot to eject, his parachute fails to deploy. For a few seconds, the pilot is in free fall in danger of being killed on impact with the ground. However, Iron Man is able to pursue the falling pilot and get the parachute open.
A man uses a device on another man that create sonic sound waves that destroy your eardrums and cause short term paralysis. His left side of his face starts to turn red. A couple seconds later it is full blood red and his veins in his head are blue and the veins appear to be bulging out. This unexpectedly happens to another character later on.
The opening shootout sequence is very intense, as well as when Stark wakes up surrounded by terrorists at gunpoint.
