    The "Fatties" preview was a spoof of Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor movies in which he plays most of the characters who happen to be obese.

      Yeah, unfortunately many people watching this movie don't know the other movies and themes that are being spoofed and don't get it. Additionally, there are a lot of references that they don't get beyond movies, like the Tropic Thunder book "it's kind of my Cather in the Rye", missing the whole John Lennon assassination reference.

    The guns are real and can shoot real ammunition. Their just shooting blanks. Which is a casing with powder in it but crimped at the end with no bullet put in it. So it makes the same sound as firing a gun but there's no bullet there to shoot out. I do love y'all's reaction to the movie.

    Seeing this in theaters it was real trailers straight in to the fake trailers, but they kept the house lights on until the Dreamworks logo so it was a particularly bizarre movie intro. RDJ's amazing (got nominated for the Oscar but lost to Heath Ledger's Joker), but Tom Cruise was largely responsible for the characterization of his role - there's a great BBC Radio interview that touches on it ("tom cruise tropic thunder interview" should find it easily).

    Having previews before a movie for the home movie market was a big thing during the VHS period but once the market switched to primarily DVD they ditched the previews because everyone would just skip straight to the movie and so it became more of a cost to include them and not so much of a revenue generator. The theater release still do previews because its a captive market guaranteeing views for everyone in the theater on their ads so it makes a return on their investment

  • @VoIcanoman
    @VoIcanoman Місяць тому +1

    Classic comedy! I gained a LOT of respect for Ben Stiller after seeing this, because he co-wrote AND directed this film. I had no idea he was that talented. And believe it or not, *Robert Downey Jr. was actually nominated for an Academy Award (Best Supporting Actor) for his performance.* He lost out to Heath Ledger, who won for his portrayal of the Joker (posthumously, of course, RIP), but it speaks volumes that this particular role was seen so highly (and honestly, I do think Ledger deserved to win, but it was close). 2008 wasn't that long ago, my dudes. People got cancelled for far less, even then. But I think audiences saw a distinction between a white actor playing a black character, and a white actor playing a white actor playing a black character. It's intended as commentary on how out-of-touch Hollywood stars are with respect to their behavior, and how the whole system is set up to let them get away with all kinds of unacceptable stuff because they are creating fortunes for the studios. This movie got far more flak for "Simple Jack" than it did for RDJ's myriad shenanigans (although even that was mostly seen in a similar light..."never go full retard" actually became one of the first mainstream memes). People aren't stupid - they can tell when you're doing something because you have a legitimate point to make, vs. doing something mean-spirited (for the purposes of denigrating black people, or the disabled).
    Also, Tom Cruise's participation in this movie was a closely-guarded secret. Many people (including myself - I saw this in theaters just a couple weeks after it premiered) had no idea it was him playing Les Grossman until the credits (due to the fat suit, furry arms, and massive hands). I still rank this as possibly his best role ever (because he is so typecast as the "action star" kind of guy, being REALLY frickin' funny is incongruous to the usual Tom Cruise experience...which actually adds to the humor). Also, that explosion at the end, where Ben Stiller is running across the bridge as it explodes behind him, is a parody of Mission: Impossible.
