RDJ Says
I have a blink-and-you'll-miss-me visit into the world of Bruce Banner ... We were just cross-pollinating our superheroes. It happens to be a scene where I basically approach [William Hurt's] character, General Ross, and we may be considering going into some sort of limited partnership together. The great thing is he—and I don't want to give too much away—but he's in disrepair at the time I find him. It was really fun seeing him play this really powerful character who's half in the bag.
Availability

Rotten Tomatoes
Does It Hold Up
Confession - I never watched the entire movie, but considering that they recast the main character for the Avengers movies, I'm guessing this one probably doesn't hold up.
2 Reasons to See It
1. You're into the comic book thing.
2. You've been waiting since the 70s for a fancier release of the beast.
Overall
A fleeting Tony Stark appearance, sure to be one of many.
