I posted my criticism of the ridiculous action scenes, zany physics, and nausea-inducing luck of our heroes of these films already previously but...
Liquid gold has a density of 17.31 g·cm−3. Solid, room temperature iron has a density of 7.874 g·cm−3. I don't know what the density of a Dwarf is but it's probably close to 1 g·cm−3 since he's mainly composed of water. Therefore, an iron shield with a little Dwarf would easily float on liquid gold.
