Is That the Original Ray’s?
Some people like Jon Favreau as an actor more than they like him as a director. We like him in whatever role he plays, but to us, he’ll always be Pete Becker, the UFC Champion-wannabe from Friends. While he was directing Iron Man, he couldn’t help but drop a mention of one of his previous works.
When Obadiah returns to NYC, he generously gives Tony a box of Ray’s Pizza. If you watched Jon’s 2003 Christmas film titled Elf, then you probably know that there are 30 Ray’s Pizzas, all of which claim to be the original, but it’s the eleventh one that’s real. Did Tony get the eleventh Ray’s or a counterfeit?
