Is it actually Mickey Rourke typing in Iron Man 2?
In Iron Man 2, Mickey Rourke plays the villain, Ivan Vanko. In several scenes, Vanko is seen to be a consummate hacker, typing away at the keyboard in a blizzard of keystrokes. Rourke's fingers look really fluid as he is doing this.
Is he just that fluid a typist, or did they speed up the action, use somebody else's hands or CGI maybe, to make it look as though he could type really fast?
It's sort of reminiscent of the banjo scene in Deliverance where they fake the boy's hands.
Best Answer
This was most definitely a slap of random keys. He was definitely not writing code as hackers don't actually type like that at all. It's sort of a hacker trope that you just spit off a long stream of seemingly endless keystrokes, but writing code is actually done in short bursts, separated by pauses as you try to reason through the most efficient way to code what you're trying to do. I work in IT, been writing code for 30 years, and have worked with hundreds of people who were very efficient and knowledgeable of code (as well as a few hackers), and not a single one of them wrote code the way it's depicted in movies and TV shows.
