@@baruckobungoo8225 He actually was nominated for an Oscar (Best Supporting Actor) for this role. Which RDJ found hilarious, to be nominated for an Oscar while playing, in his words, an 'Oscar-seeking moron'. Of course, it was the same year as The Dark Knight, so nobody was taking the Best Supporting Actor award from Heath Ledger.
My favorite gag that nobody really seems to get is the one firing his guy with his hand out. Thats a knock on the Rambo movies where he has the belt fed machine gun and his other hand is holding the belt. But Ben Stillers character obviously doesn't understand that so he's just doing it with a gun without a belt. So its more than him just doing goofy shit. To me that just makes it 1000x funnier.
This is one of my favorite movies. The comedy, action, acting...it's all so good. and people who get offended by this movie just don't understand the meaning behind it and the satire. I hate that we can't just have a good laugh without the fear of someone getting offended. Also Louis was the best person to be here with you to react with haha. I also want thank you for uploading during this time. The world is on fire and it's people like you that allows me to escape reality for a bit. Thank you man. can't wait for the next one. take care
Only two types of people are offended. Those that are faking it (virtue signal) and actual morons. It's very simple, and this goes for all comedy/art/speech etc... What is the point? In this case, what is the actual joke of RDJ in black makeup? Who is being made fun of? When you answer that question, it is clear that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this movie from a moral perspective.
You sir are legendary, i agree why are people looking for something to complain about all the time, pack of whingy whiners THIS WAS HILARIOUS BEYOND WORDS and not one of us is going to live forever, SMILE it feels great.
The film crew must have been rolling on the floor with laughter throughout the whole movie. I wonder how many scenes were ruined because people started to crack up?
This movie is utterly amazing. The comedic genius and timing, editing, acting, and all of the extra work that went into stuff like the special features, fake movie trailers, etc. Just amazing. Each actor was a scene stealer in this movie. Even the ending credit graphics were over the top. The little jokes like the "Catcher in the Rye" reference, Cruise's dancing, spoofing of nearly every war movie like Platoon, etc. were just amazing.
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard during a reaction.So glad to see Louis reacting with you again.Louis the hair is looking 😚👌🏾.I can’t tell you the amount of quotes that me and my fam repeat from this movie regularly…it’s definitely one of my fav comedies.
Robert Downey Jr is so good in this movie there was no way for triggered people to cancel him. Also, very underrated performance from Tom Cruise. I don't think his cast was revealed before the movie was premiered (at least I had no idea he was in it) and when he appeared and gave that awesome performance everyone lost it in the theatre. It was amazing. Edit: RDJ got an academy award and a BAFTA nomination for his role, his only one since Chaplin (1993). Think about that, he's been in great movies in between.
There was no way for trigged people to cancel him either way people triggered on twitter do not get people cancelled people pulling and or doing stupid shit that makes them a liability like sexual harassment, public harassment on twitter and or supporting questionable shit that hurts the company's image and advertising connections gets you cancelled angry knobs on social media and twitter can’t do shit but offend you for being offended.
I saw this in the theater in Fiji when it came out. I went from foreign advertisements to these and was so confused at first. Me and one old Fijian man were the only ones busting up at the worst inappropriate jokes.
Hey Ash, I know this is an old video but wanted to let ya know the fun fact that RDJ ACTUALLY stayed in character for the entire DVD commentary and it’s absolutely worth rewatching it with the commentary on whenever you get the chance in your free time
Man this is inarguably one of the greatest films, all-time. It's my favorite RDJ movie alongside Iron Man (his renaissance period was definitely his golden era) and one of his top 3 roles, easy. This movie has made me laugh for years and the opening fake ads are such a perfect setup for the tone of this movie. You should rewatch with his Hannah, I think she'd die laughing 😂
This came out when I was a senior in high school. Absolute favorite movie and quoted it all the time. RDJ stayed in character during the actor commentary just like he said
It's funny that you said "Jurassic Park deep" in reference to how remote the jungle is where the actors were taken. This movie was mostly filmed on the Hawai'ian island of Kauai, _which is the exact same place Jurassic Park was filmed._ So it's not surprising you get Jurassic Park vibes.
Bro, your reactions are so genuine. And even after I've seen this movie countless times, I laughed harder than I had before, just because you were laughing so hard. I've never considered subbing to a patreon before, but I'm starting to consider it. Love your reactions.
Ah man you two are great to see in these reactions. I'm reminded of movie nights with my boys in college. We barely get together now because of life and responsibilities but every time we get the chance to again, especially with movies like Tropic Thunder, it's always a blast. Such a great comedy. It's up there with White Chicks
Late to the channel. Just found it today and am on a binge. I missed hearing the boys and their friends in the other room, so I put some movie reactions on I know they liked. And so I could clean the kitchen and get some work done. Empty nest mom life. These boys' (men) laughs had me smiling and coming in to see them cut up.
Ben Stiller's characters ultra-extravagant slow-mo getting-shot-to-pieces w arms out like Jesus is a jab at Platoon, which in fact feature a movie cover, with the same sort of imagery
New subscriber just for this. You guys yourselves were bout as funny as the clips. What I really liked was ya'll ACTUALLY got all the jokes, all the different nuances. I've been watching reactions for this movie for a while now because it's my favorite modern comedy. And you guys had the best reactions hands down (no pun intended). Now excuse me while I choose the next one of ur reactions to watch. Be well, from PA. USA.
Tom Cruise in this movie, he read the script and he loved it but thought something was missing. There was no studio presence in it originally. So the part was offered and he accepted on two conditions, he needed big hands and he gets to dance. A legend was born.
Much like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I never get tired of this one. Modern-day classic. One of those comedies you can go back to when there's been a dry spell of funny. Like lately. lol You've been getting some great suggestions lately. Nearly every reaction has been a favorite. While I'm here, I gotta suggest a "couple" other comedies that I put at or near this one: The Other Guys -- Groundhog Day -- Happy Gilmore -- Naked Gun -- MP and the Holy Grail (ofc) -- Dumb & Dumber -- Hot Fuzz -- Shaun of the Dead -- Rush Hour 1/2/3 -- 21 (and 22) Jump Street -- Big Trouble in Little China -- Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Might seem like I went ham there, but I actually took it ez. What can I say, love me some comedy. 😆 You won't be disappointed with any of those films, guaranteed.
Tom Cruise's Les Grossman character was heavily inspired by Harvey Weinstein. All those weirdly sexualized insults he dishes out to people around him was what Weinstein was known for.
Tom Cruise loved the script so much, when Stiller decided to cast himself in the lead role (after originally envisioning Keanu Reeves as the lead), Cruise called him and asked "what else is available?" Stiller suggested they write in Les Grossman, a character Cruise had created himself, allegedly based on Harvey Weinstein. Cruise said he'd do it as long as he could have fat hands and dance.
BRO I CAN'T STETCH THIS ENOUGH!!! YOU MUST DO THE CHANEL TOGETHER WITH THSI FRIEND. YOU TWO ARE FUNNIER COMBINED THAN SEPARATE. BRING THIS FRIEND TO EVERY REACTION MOVIE, NO HOMO... not that's anything wrong with that. lol Just kidding, great reaction once again guys. Still you guys together are FIRE!
At the time, nothing about it was considered “Risk”. It was made for the simple fact of just outrageous comedy for the sake of outrageous comedy. Miss those days.
It was actually very risky back then too. Downey joked, half serious, that he hoped he wouldn't get shot at the premier. Was afraid it might derail his comeback if people misunderstood his performance. From what i've read, the majority of people who see the movie agree that it was done with great respect
Funny anecdote I read on IMBD that in the dvd commentary Robert Downey Jr spends the whole time in character. That must have been priceless and now makes me want to buy the dvd just for that reason lol
Ben Stiller scenes are underrated as fuck, that one im the beginning when Lincoln is holding his hands and hes gonna say "you my, you my brother", his fuckin face there is priceless
Besides this and Iron Man, RDJ preformed brilliantly in Sherlock Holmes and Due Date. The four main characters are satires of Sylvester Stallone, Russell Crowe, Chris Farley and Al Pacino. This is easily Tom Cruise's best role since Top Gun, which I highly recommend
I saw this in the theater so the fake trailers were a huge twist. They came immediately after the real ones.
Same, my friend and I were dying in the theatre...so funny
But people thought it was real🤦♀️
I bet it was great in the theater, lots of laughs.. I wish I saw this in theaters
Genius script, great comedy! Great over-acting by many! Sometimes the best comedy is the facial expressions of the actors reacting to others! LMAO!
I watched it in the theater....had to see it again because it was so funny i didn't catch most of it😅
RDJ forgot he was in a goofy comedy and turned in an unironically brilliant performance
"I thought to myself, I get to be black for a summer. So there's something in it for me."
Oscar nominated performance

RDJ was just a dude, playing a dude, pretending to be another dude.
"for 400 years, that word has kept our people down" might be one of my favorite moments in any movie ever
I fear we’ll never get another mainstream comedy like this again, such a fantastic satire from a time when Hollywood didn’t take itself as seriously
Yeah now all we get are multicultural marvel movies made for China and children
people will get away with anything as long as its funny. stop playing the victim
@@leoN13312 It was sarcasm. I hate marvel movies and the anti-woke mob.
certainly won't see that anymore!
sad but true
@@clownbaby6882 marvel=cool superhero movies/shows
Also Louie's laugh is contagious as hell. Tell him that. He's the right guy to have in this specific reaction LMAO
"Man I don't break character until I done the DVD commentary." Robert Downey Jr actually did the entire commentary in character 🤣
Seriously?
Yes, seriously. He really did.
@christopherbascom1629 yes it's available on UA-cam like a lot of old " Special Edition " content because it's not thr Official Film as a whole

I worked in a cinema when this came out. Everyone just went WTF and burst out laughing at the intro trailers.
You m-m-m-make me h-happy
I remember being confused and then hoping no one would come up to concessions looking for those snacks. 🤣
"I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude!" Lol!!
This movie is a satire onion. Layers upon layers of satire. It's brilliant.
I love that Ash immediately recognized Tom Cruise. I was like Louis and had no idea until the end credits.
I saw it in the theater. No one around us knew. Including me.
@@theConquerersMama yeah my mom told me but as time goes on i can tell by his eyes and his voice

people triggered on twitter do not get people cancelled
people pulling and or doing stupid shit that makes them a liability like sexual harassment, public harassment on twitter and or supporting questionable shit that hurts the company's image and advertising connections gets you cancelled
angry knobs on social media and twitter can’t do shit but offend you for being offended.
Tom Cruise was supposed to get a movie playing this character, but I have no idea whatever happened to it

Tom Cruise made it a demand for the role that he had to have a dance scene. So they gave him the one with the end credits.
Doing the Angelina Jolie running off with the kid creased me 😂
I was dying at the panda death scene with you guys 😂😂😂😂

I'm not sure I've ever seen two people enjoy a movie more.
Tom Cruise had two stipulations for appearing in this film:
1. have massive hands,
2. do a stupid dance.
🤣🤣
Dude on the left was real excited about Satan’s Alley lol
Had to come here after that tropic thunder reference on your 21 jumpstreet reaction lmao
Holding the gun with the opposite arm out depicts him also carrying a 'belt' of bullets.
Its just one of those movies where u sit with your buddy and just have a laugh. U guys should watch "This is the end."
When I saw this at the theater, I was about 20 mins into the walk home when I was like "Wait. Was tom Cruise?"
As an American u and ur mate are hilarious and u get the damn movie
Their laugh is infectious! 🤣🤣🤣
Ben on his knees, lifting up his arms whilst being shot is straight out of the war movie Platoon. You should react to it 👍🏻
