Stark is seen with a female journalist - the female journalist (clothed) writhes vigorously on top of Stark, then they roll to the side and fall of the bed. (sex is implied)

In the following scene journalist is seen sleeping in bed undressed (partially covered with a sheet). She wakes up and wraps herself with the sheet. Bare back and legs are shown.

Three flight attendants dance briefly on a private plane while Tony Stark watches them.

In the desert of Afganistan, soldiers get out of their military vehicles and are shot, then screaming is heard.

A missile lands on the ground next to Stark and explodes it isn't seen but it is implied that sharple from the missile punctures his heart and he is required to wear a device in is chest to survive, and he is struck and thrown to the ground. Blood seeps through his shirt and there is blood on his face.

Stark is briefly seen thrashing and screaming in pain as bloody tissue is removed and an electromagnetic battery is being surgically implanted.

Stark later regains consciousness and pulls a long tube out of his nose (we hear squishing as it comes out) but this is done in a comical fashion.

In one scene Tony tells Peper to reach inside a metal cylinder in his chest and pull out a wire. Squishing is heard as she does this, and she complains that it is filled with pus and that it smells. We hear a zap and the man twitches. She puts another device in the cylinder and he is jolted. She pulls her hand out and we see slime on her hand.

Several scenes of shooting, there is one scene where citizens are lined up for excecution and a man is taken away from his family he struggles but is thrown to the ground and kicked in the chest the terrorist leader then orders him to be exicuted but Iron Man Intervenes, in one scene Obadiah has group of terrorists lined up at gunpoint by U.S. soldiers he walks of screen then there are several flashes behind him and gun shots are heard (do the math). Many intense action sequences: a shooting sequence, a fight scene with shooting and fire, Iron Man flying around punching HARD, Iron Man blasting, an intense dogfight, and a fist fight with the primary antagonist.

Nothing in particular except the word "prick" being used close to the end. Very mild for a PG-13 movie.

Tony Stark is seen drinking numerous times. For example:

-In the Humvee with the soldiers at the beginning of the movie (tumbler with scotch) -In the plane with Rhodes. Rhodes is visibly intoxicated -At the benefit gala before his dance with Pepper ("Give me a scotch, I'm starving.") -Later, at the same benefit, he's drinking a martini

Near the end of the movie, it's shown that Tony keeps a bottle of high-quality spirits on his desk (Obadiah's statementL "Tony always gets the good stuff")

Note that in the comic book canon, Tony Stark is an alcoholic and this facet of his character may be further explored in future films.

Some of the terrorist scenes could be considered scary or intense for kids six and under but my nine year old didn't seem to mind and he liked the movie in the end.

A man uses a device on another man and 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. Little children may find this part a little disturbing.
