TROPIC THUNDER Movie Description:
While shooting a war film, the director attempts to liven up proceedings by dropping the principle actors into the middle of a real jungle, claiming he is going to capture their performance with hidden cameras. The hapless group including drug-addled comedy star Jeff Portnoy and po-faced method man Kirk Lazarus are completely unaware when a series of unfortunate events leads them into the middle of a real war zone.
Tropic Thunder is a 2008 action comedy film directed by Ben Stiller. It stars Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Jay Baruchel, and Brandon T. Jackson as a group of prima donna actors making a Vietnam War film. When their frustrated director (played by Steve Coogan) drops them in the middle of a jungle, they are forced to rely on their acting skills to survive the real action and danger. It is a parody of many famous war movies, specifically those based on the Vietnam War. The screenplay was written by Justin Theroux, Stiller, and Etan Cohen from a story by Stiller and Theroux. The film was produced by Stuart Cornfeld, Stiller, and Eric McLeod for Red Hour Productions and DreamWorks Pictures as an international co-production between the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Stiller's idea for the film originated while playing a minor role in Empire of the Sun, and he later enlisted Theroux and Cohen to help complete the script. After the film was green-lit in 2006, filming took place in 2007 on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i over thirteen weeks and was later deemed the largest film production in the island's history. The film had an extensive marketing promotion, including faux websites for the three main characters and their fictional films, airing a fictional television special, and selling the energy drink advertised in the film, "Booty Sweat".
The film received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the film's characters, story, faux trailers, and the performances of Stiller, Downey, Black and Tom Cruise. The film's soundtrack and score debuted on August 5, 2008, before the film's theatrical release. Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks released the film in the US on August 13, 2008. In its North American opening weekend, the film earned $26 million and retained the number one position for the first three weekends of release. Downey was nominated for an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, with both him and Cruise receiving nominations for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture. The film grossed more than $188 million worldwide before its release on home video on November 18, 2008.

Back to the Future has a lot of reactions, so that might be a good choice as far as growing your channel. Star Wars seems to bring in a lot of people as well.
If you like more absurd humor, I'll recommend Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail, the Naked Gun movies, and Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. (Don't worry about Evil Dead 1, its a straight horror and ED2 is part remake/reboot).
Otherwise 12 Monkeys is a great movie that I don't think too many reactors has gotten around to yet if you are trying to jump ahead of the curve.
@@cheeseburger12 I Actually Appreciate This Comment Very Much I Was Just Looking At The List To See What Movie I Want To Do Next After Spider-Man 2, 1982 The Thing, And Mandy. I’m Going To Shutter Island And Next Will Be 12 Monkeys. I Definitely Want To Do Star Wars, But Star Wars Is So Popular With Movie Reactions Idk If I Could Get Seen. Same With Back To The Future, I Already Did Back To The Future 1 And I’m Still At 600 Views Pretty Much. So I’m Most Definitely Going To Do Movies Either No One Has Done Or Has Barely Done That’s On My List.
Those Would Be,
12 Monkeys
Shutter Island
Fight Club
But OMG Thank You So Much For Those Recommendations! I Think Monty Python Is Perfect, Just Did The Research And Seems Like It’s Popular But Not Many People Has Done It. So Most Definitely Thank You And Naked Gun Is A Great One As Well.
Here Are Some Extra Ones I’m Thinking About Doing That Not Many People Have Done:
2001 A Space Odyssey
The King Of Comedy
A Clockwork Orange
Vertigo
Enemy
Eyes Wide Shut
The Faculty
Empire Records
Good Will Hunting
A Few Good Men
The Big Lebowski
Deer Hunter
Mad Max Fury Road
And I Just Thinking About Evil Dead I Will Most Definitely Do Those Too And Army Of Darkness!
@@HelloMellowXVI I liked your review of Tropic Thunder, this was one I searched for reactions for and found you. I'm certainly interested in reactions to the absurd humor movies....since those are on your near radar, I'll drop a subscribe.
Oh, Red Vs Blue is pretty popular if you haven't done that. Although I've seen them so many times I don't know if I'd watch the whole thing over again with you.
(And Rooster Teeth has been having problems, they might start yanking stuff off UA-cam but they were letting people react to entire videos before. )
Anyways, keep your chin up, its hard to stand out with so many reviewers. Good luck!
@@cheeseburger12 thank you so much and yeah I was thinking red vs blue too, idk if I Could get away with That lmao. Probably strike me in a heartbeat
@@HelloMellowXVI I am 100% sure you could do it 6 months ago. I'm 80% sure you could do it now. I'm 30% sure you'll be able to do it a year from now.
RDJ is one of my fav black actors
LMFAO 😆☠
Hmmm 😬😆 OMG
He should’ve played iron man and war machine
I know it might be a little earlier but i think we might have a new actor for the role of Black Panther
Yoooo come on man you made me squawk laugh like a turkey! Lmao
RDJ actually got nominated for Best Supporting Actor for this, rightfully so, but lost to Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight, also rightfully so.
Gonna disagree with ya there
@@music79075 I'm happy to finally meet someone else that has the same opinion. I think Heath Ledger was good, but overrated for his role. It should have went a Robert Downey Jr.
@@jlhanlon1980 I think heath ledgers role took a lot more effort and acting to portray tbh
@@jlhanlon1980 no way that was overrated..u just don't know what great acting means XD
Ugh that's a hard one😭😭😔
FUN FACT: Simple Jack is a direct parody of Ben Stillers Forest Gump Audition. He didn't get the role because he took it "to far" and instead Tom Hanks was chosen for his portrayal of the characters naivete.
I need a Ben Stiller Forrest Gump (Borrest Sump?) parody
Really? Huh. I assumed it was assumed at Sean Penn I Am Sam.
Gorrest Fump
Never go full retard
Omg that’s why he said you never go full R……
The perfect parody of the entire movie industry.
Tropic Thunder was the ‘This Is Spinal Tap' for Hollywood.
This, Map to the Stars, and Mulholland Drive (albeit Mulholland Drive is a more tragic example.)
And what’s more hilarious is that they’re now cashing in by making self important films that are clearly the parodies they were mocked for lmao
I'm so glad people can still get humor from this. I've heard people try to use to it cancel Robert Downey Jr, and it's like "uh you realize gamora isn't actually green right? Not only that, it's for the sake of comedy.
Circa 2002 - 2010, imagine how much can be made of based on today. It would be a whole franchise!
Literally EVERY role is played as a hardcore stereotype, and its what makes this movie amazing lmao. The director, the actors, the agents, EVERY ROLE.
It Is Absolutely Hilarious Lmao
Tom Cruise was phenomenal and of course Downey
It's not RDJ doing a black face, it's Kirk Lazarus the australian guy who RDJ is playing doing a black face.
So whatever controversy people have is wrong. Stop it. Get some help. Get some McDonalds.
Lmao WTF 😆
He's a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude....
People who are outraged have never watched the movie, just watched clips out of context. They are oblivious to the fact that RDJ is making fun of method actors, not african americans.
Kirk had experimental skin pigmentation surgery. Real black face makes fun or stereotypes black folks. The movie is making fun of actors who go too far in their method acting that they cross the line into what is socially unacceptable.
Or eat a Snickers
On Joe Rogan's podcast, RDJ stated that he thought he was going to get a lot of backlash for his role, but the real heat went to Ben Stiller's character Simple Jack.
The only part of this movie which is offensive is when they talk about killing prostitutes, it's just not appropriate or funny. Simple Jack and Kirk Lazarus are both fine and funny.
@@kayzeaza Of course there is. When you stop laughing, because the joke is lousy. The killing of prostitutes simply isn't funny, it doesn't work in the movie, and the confusion between killing pandas and killing a prostitute is impossible to make, and is completely false. That joke should have been cut, it's lousy.
@@Stalker6622 It's just not funny, it is like joking about setting cats on fire, or beating up the homeless.
@@Stalker6622 Still not funny. When the homeless and the prostitutes team up strip rich ladies of their fur coats, to cut into little cat-shaped suits to give to hairless cats. then maybe it starts to get funny.
Y'all need some pussy.
All the characters in the movie are the amped up versions of the real stereotypes in Hollywood.
- Tugg Speedmen; The action movie guy with a ton of really successful, yet stupid movies who doesn't do any of his own stunts and is not very good at actual dramatic acting.
- Jeff Portnay; The coke head stand-up comedian with a bunch of low brow fart comedy movies with redicous makeup.
- Kirk Lazarus; Hollywood's most pretentious oscar winning actor, so pretentious he doesn't even understand what "blackface" means, also refuses to drop character.
- Alpha Chino; The poser DJ/Rapper that's not very good, sold out to every ad company imaginable, and is the complete opposite of his public persona in real life.
- Kevin Sandusky: Child star's first endeavor into real film and is just kind of an awkward dork that never had the chance to develop social skills.
- Damien Cockburn: Director that doesn't know what he's doing and is overwhelmed by the pressures of the set.
- Four Leaf; Guy who wrote a "true story" full of bullshit but got a movie deal anyway.
- Les Grossman; This character was basically a characture of Harvey Weinstein... but somehow less gross.
Even Cody; The shady, unqualified yet cheap demolition guy that has a worrisome disregard for safety and will probably get someone killed.
Everyone who works in Hollywood knows one or more of these people in some fashion in real life, hence the brilliance of some of the writing =P
PhantomSavage Portnay is a heroin addict, not a cokehead..
Kirk is definitely the method actor of the bunch
Yes; a sense of perspective/personal experience can make individual jokes so much more funny for people. I was a passenger in an accident years ago and took a shot to the head, but beforehand growing up I literally scored as high as they could measure on placement tests in school. There's a court case I cited showing that I lost enough to qualify as disabled for retarded cognitive function (even though I still actually score in the top 2%,) so all the stuff Ben Stiller is talking about ~16 minutes into the reaction are SO much funnier (as "that which doesn't kill me gives me unhealthy coping mechanisms and a dark sense of humor that could make a platoon of Marines throw up.") But I can guarantee that 98% of people would barely chuckle at best while I'm holding back tears. The "10 second Tom" scene in 50 First Dates is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life as my real name is Tom too but to most people it's just a little laugh (plus it's more like 30 seconds IRL.)
Add(because I'm still mid watching as I comment,) Jack Black catching and eating the bat in Asia after COVID is now SOOOO much more messed up than if you reacted in 2018 for the movie's 10 year anniversary of something.
No. He’s a jellybean addict 😁
What makes no sense about any backlash to RDJ's role is that the whole role is meant to make fun of actors that take whitewashed roles or use stuff like blackface for movies. The character himself in the story made that choice, not the studio trying to literally make RDJ use it.
Exactly Bro, I Completely Agree. It’s Like The World Doesn’t Even Want Hollywood To Even Have Something Resemble Something Like That. People Are Hypocritical. The Writing Is Brilliant In This Movie For All The Characters, But People Don’t See That. Small Minded People See The Movie And Don’t Get The Message And Just Say “THATS RACIST!” And Then You Have People Who Haven’t Seen The Movie But Saw A Scene Or The Trailer Or A Picture And Just Automatically Judge.
@@HelloMellowXVI it is like people coming to opinions on a subject just from the title of an article or story
@@davidmatheny1993 Exactly and That’s A Shame How The Media Manipulates People That Way.
Blackface is what goes on in minstrel shows. IE: It hasn't gone on for a long time. It is not the same thing as an actor putting make up on for a role. Blackface specifically was done by people to make fun of the stupidity of black people. Big HUGE difference. Blackface is a specific thing, not a general thing. It applies specific to that kind of performance art.
Alan Rickman was British, not German. Would you have someone else play Hans Gruber in Die Hard even though Rickman was brilliant?
What RDJ did is called.... Acting. People gain weight, lose weight, put in contacts, change their hair. It's acting. Jennette Goldstein who played Vasquez in Aliens looks nothing like a traditional Hispanic woman, but she changed her hair, wore contacts, different make up, and poof, suddenly she was latina. Great performance. Wouldn't change the actress.
This is exactly the reason why always sunny rightfully never had any real backlash to their blackface. The joke is that characters in the show are ignorant and racist and not to be emulated. The blackface itself is not the joke. Important distinction
Full disclosure: When I was a young kid and saw this movie for the first time, I didn't know who Robert Downey Jr. was, and I legit thought that he was actually a black actor. No bullshit.
Same haha
same, not only that but i remember when i saw the movie in theaters i thought the booty sweat commercial was a legit thing until the second trailer lol
And i thought Tom cruise was fat
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THATS AWESOME!
This was the first movie I saw him in as well...
Jamie Foxx actually threw a huge party for RDJ right after this movie because he loved it so much.
He's not doing blackface, he's doing a dude doing blackface...lol
THANK YOU 😤 I get so annoyed when people dont get the point
"i'm the dude playin the dude disguised as another dude"
It's not even blackface, strictly speaking. Blackface has the pitch-black make-up with big red lips, you know, the whole Mr. Popo-look.
"Well that sounds like blackface with extra steps." I don't mind though. This happens both ways anyway, Witcher for example used a black actress for a white character. Or east asian movies often use east asian actors for white/black characters etc. . Tropic Thunder is a perfect parody to this and it's hilarious.
@@ElSeto93 I agree its more like laughing at the absurdity of being offended by something like that. And it is a good movie.
The Scorcher movies made me think of Fast & Furious franchise.
Lml You Think Those Are Tacked On? I Actually Agree With You Now With The Latest Ones
“Who left the garage open?”
@@HelloMellowXVI they should’ve stopped at 6 imo
I Think That Was The First One That Made A Billion So I Understand Why They Kept Going But Yeah They Need To Stop Or It’s Going To Turn Into Transformers. Literally And Figuratively Lmao
not as bad but Rocky did that same fuckin thing shoulda stopped after 2. Only exception with Stallone is Rambo they were all fun haha Last Blood made up for the other shitty ones. Alien and Aliens again they shoulda stopped after 2.
The DVD commentary for this is a must-listen; Ben Stiller being all professional talking as director and giving people shoutouts; Jack Black shows up late eating snacks and talking about other tv shows, and RDJ fully in-character as Osiris telling Jack Black to stfu.
That Sounds Hilarious And Sounds Like They Had So Much Fun
This man can take a joke in 2020 respect✊🏻
He might be the last living example
@D_ans Honestly, it's gone on so much longer than that =(
More like this man understands the difference between a good joke and a bad joke.
Visplight exactly
This movie is a masterpiece. Too bad no one actually talks about it.
That ending with Less Grossman's dance is just an icing on the cake.
I think its Tom Cruise and RDJ best rolls. Cruise missed his calling in comedy.
Absolutely! It's in my top three go to movies.
Plus he played Grossman again at an awards show later that year LOL.
Tom Cruise… “I want fat hands, and I want to dance”… He’s not just Top Gun, he’s Top fun…. 😂😂😂
I actually saw this opening night with my best friend in theaters and it was completely packed. I went in blind, I didn't know what the movie was about really except that Robert Downey Junior was in it.
I think I damn near died when I watched this film. I honestly feel so bad for the other people in the theater because they had to deal with me busting a gut every 20 seconds. Seriously, this is still the funniest movie I have ever seen. It's incredible and I highly recommended for everyone to watch.
Lmao Wow I'm Really Glad You Enjoyed As Much As You Did And Had A Fantastic Theater Experience.
I agree, it’s one of the funniest movies ever made, imo.
Yes, definitely in my top 5 funniest movies. Also, ”Office Space” and ”The Big Lebowski”!
I got to see it in a theater too. So happy I did. Also got to see walk hard: a Dewey cox story in theaters. Great comedies
One of the very few times I've gone to see a movie multiple times at the theater. It has long been one of my favorites
I watched this when it came to theaters. It took about 3 minutes before I released that Les Grossman was Tom Cruise.
Wow I Realized Like Right Away Lmao
I didn't realize until the credits. I never watched a movie with Tom Cruise.
It took me a while too. I nearly stood up & said it out loud. Fortunately I managed to restrain myself!
@@jamesayrey384 The entire theater yelled 'WHAT!?' when the credits said it at my viewing.
@@BlastedChutoy your loss, his scenes don't make nearly as much sense not knowing that.
Never laughed in a movie theater as much as i did seeing this when it came out. Saw it with my girlfriend (now wife) and we both laughed so much. The fake movie previews were unexpected. Some guy walked out of the theater during the fake previews. He was yelling the entire way out. Screaming about how stupid it was and how he couldn't believe he spent money to see it.
His loss then lol.
Damn, that guy would've only added to the experience for me
That sounds hilarious tbh 🤣
hilarious.... how we have no patience these days to go through the boring part of the movies these days... lol
That's what happens when you take Hollywood too seriously!
“Everybody’s gay once in a while, this Hollywood”
😂😹
There wasn't any pedophilia (just some sexual harassment w/ "i didn't pee on her!") to be truly Hollywood. I guess that would have upset too many people in the production chain, heh.
Yep! Hollywood.
13:23 - He said "He ain't playin' God. We being judged by him."
19:49 - He's talking about the HD format war of 2007: Blu-ray vs HD-DVD
24:14 - Kirk doesn't read the script. The script reads him.
Thank You So Much, I Really Appreciate That Alot
I actually think he was talking about the VHS / BetaCam wars of the '80s, because of the reference to porn. It is well accepted that VHS won the videotape battle because porn studios released all their films on VHS exclusively.
@@gsparkman Then why was he mentioning Blu Ray and PS3?
RDJ pushed the joke as far as actually stay in character during the commentary, going back to his usual voice only at the end of the credits
The funny thing is, RDJ actually got an Oscar nomination for his role in this movie, but lost to Heath Ledger for his role as The Joker.
Rdj has a decent aussie accent for a dude playing a dude whos really another dude. The story behind les grosman and how Tom Cruise pitched was hillarious
Tom Cruise..."I want HUGE hands." lol
"This ain't the Mandalorian". Funny coincidence that guy is the voice actor for the dude who always said "I have spoken".
Lmao Yeah He Did Excellent In That Show
Nick Nolte since no one said it lol. 1992 People Magazine's 'sexiest man alive'
RDJ killed me in this movie. His character was such a self absorbed ass. I was crying laughing when I saw it in the theater.
I love your perspective on this. Too many people took RDJ's role out of context. The character obviously wasn't mocking black people, but mocking the people who think that blackface is ok. It's admittedly a very thin line, but if we forget the lessons we've learned we're doomed to repeat the mistakes we've made before.
Absolutely And I Saw All The Controversy Earlier In The Year And I Just Had To Say Something.
Just to let you know, watching this in theaters the "fake" trailers started during the real trailers. Made it all even funnier because there were trailers identical to the fake ones 🤣
Greatest movie of all time. Every character, right down to Tom Cruise, is hilarious.
You went from 100 subscribers to 100K in a year. You're doing something right. I just watched 2 of your movie reactions back to back, and this is the 3rd. I love your edits. You're hilarious. Your reactions also feel authentic. I just subscribed and am looking forward to see what else you have on this channel.
I’ve literally watched his Spaceballs reaction 4 times. His personality is infectious! Love his videos!!
:) So far none of the reviewers who themselves have a darker skin tone I saw were offended by RDJs role, on the contrary - they all enjoyed it as much as Mell here. Methinks the complaints must have all come from people who didn't see the movie and missed the little detail that here the joke is on people who use blackface, method actors who overdo it and companies who to this day often cast white actors in non-white roles. And it's pure joy to see RDJ playing this character, a guy giving 200% for his role in a stupid war movie... :D
The complaints always come from the people who don't have the slightest idea that it isn't offensive to the actual community
@@nutsandbolts1264 they also just complain about this but white chicks is okay in their opinion you got to love it its all movies that are making fun of this shit
Virtue signallers gotta signal
Yo Mel, i just discovered your channel today and I’m already hooked!!
First reaction i saw was This is the End and loved it!
RDJ fkn killed it for sure. I’m a fan of your channel right away.
24:24 The bit you didn't hear was Lazarus saying "Alpa and I wear mama Earth's natural night camo!". Basically saying that because he and Alpa are both black they have the best chance of sneaking into the camp at night. 😉
Omg Lmao That's Fucking Hilarious. Thank You So Much, Hope You Enjoyed The Video
And I am pretty sure that when Alpa responds with "take it easy Benson", he was referring to the TV show Benson, in which Robert Guillaume plays a black man who runs the Governor's mansion for a somewhat idiotic Governor of an unnamed state. But I am not sure I really get the joke even knowing that.
iKvetch Benson was actually a spin-off from the sitcom, Soap.
I first saw this movie when it came out while I was stationed in Misawa, Japan. And OMG! You have no idea how much the military LOVES this movie! They way it mocks hollywood, hollywood's portrayal of the military, the military and the epic one-liners! Holy $h*t! This could've been written by a veteran!
This is one of those movies where each time you watch it, the movie gets better. Also probably one of the best comedies of all time
Robert Downey jr killed his role. Best damn acting I've seen
Nolte's speech at 12:01 and Stiller killing the panda made me and my dad almost cry laughing
Lmao It Was Funny, I Just Trying To See If I Could Understand What He Was Saying.
Yep...i missed several minutes of movie cry laughing when his agent thought he killed a hooker
@@Swordsfor200Alex Amanda's probably not even her real name. First thing you do is get a shit load of lime lol
When I first saw the movie I had to pause it at the panda part because I was laughing so hard 🤣🤣
My dad always loses it at “He’s knitting a fucking sweater back here” and Les’s meltdowns lol
6:20 - A man who takes context over face value, I like you.
Thank You, I Always Try
"He ain't playing God! He's being judged by him..." my favorite line in the movie.
I saw this on opening day. Went into work Monday and said RDJ deserved an Oscar and they laughed. He did get nominated for the Oscar. One of the best movies ever.
This just might be the greatest comedy of all time.
Absolutely And I'm Going To Watch Release Another One Today!
It’s definitely on par with Blazing Saddles. Hysterical parody.
11:25 I know a guy who didn't know that was Tom Cruise until he got to the end of the movie and saw the name.
Yeah. That was me. No clue until the end, and I've seen plenty of Tom Cruise movies. Didn't recognize him under all the latex and makeup.
Same. I saw it 3 times before I realized. Lol
"You were talking to me this whole time??"
I'm 55 years old and came up in a black liberation movement. Robert Downey Jr was hilarious! Lol
"The Wii? Damn I feel old."
*Me remembering renting an N64 at Blockbuster* 😞
I Feel Old As Well Lmao. I Remember GameCube And Ps2, Hell Even PlayStation And Sega Genesis. I Didn’t Have N64. My Cousin Had It, And I Would Play His
@@HelloMellowXVI To be completely honest my first console I remember having in my room was a NES. 😆🥺
I Never Played That Lml, First Time I Saw NES Was The Movie 3 Ninjas LMAO
I got that sweet Nintendo with the Power Pad pack so you could play the track & field game. It finally replaced my Atari.
Y'all youngins.
Me remembering owning Colecovision.
I still remember how I watched the making of this film. A member of the film team said in an interview that this film was the ideal opportunity for the film industry to act out its self-loathing. Against all imaginable clichés that one associates with Hollywood and the film industry.
I remember watching this in the theater, the part where the nerd is explaining the paradigm shift from dvd’s to blu-ray to Robert D jr’s character. “Were you talking to me this whole time?!” I laughed so hard at that part because the nerd is literally talking for 2-3mins before that. One of the funniest movies of all time.
I LOVE watching these older videos, im so happy and proud of Mel, bros came a long way. 🙏
I laughed so hard when I first watched this back in theatres with my dad 😂 just everything is wild!
Props to you for just loving the comedy and laughing and keeping the damn politics out of it. Good stuff!
Always Brother, Never Want Politics On My Channel Unless It’s A Movie Dealing With Politics lml
My favorite part is when says "imma collard up sum of them greens"...like collards are a type of cooking and not a specific plant. Like you can just pick leaves off of any plant and make collard greens 😂😂😂
Lol facts
*for four hundred years that word has kept us down* never fails to make me laugh 😂
Just because it's a theme song don't mean ain't true.
For me, the best parody movie ever is "Hot Shots: Part Deux", followed by "Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood", and "Tropic Thunder" in the 3rd place.
Don’t Be A Menace Is A Good Ass Movie Lml, But Thank You For Telling Me That. I’m Glad To Know That
Never heard of “Don’t Be a Menace...” before.
Hot Shots: Part Deux is a must watch!! I liked it more than the first.
I really hope this type of comedy makes a comeback cuz it really is the best comedy. Regardless if it’s based around modern cinema or not.
It's great going back to your older videos and seeing just how much you have grown, my man! So proud of you. Let's get you to 100k!
Jack Blacks's "my ass!" Scene gets me everytime 😂
Dude your channel growth is amazing and inspiring, the fact that you were celebrating 100 subs a year ago and now youre well on your way to 100k!!!
One of Tom Cruise's dirty little secrets is he said that playing Less Grossman in this movie was one of the most fun roles hes ever had.
First time on your channel, man ......Have seen this movie reacted to by a few others, but your reactions made me laugh out loud! It's hilarious to watch people watching this movie for the first time! Robery Downey Jr. actually did get a nomination for best supporting actor for this! A freaking hilarious movie the likes of which can NEVER be made again! Glad you liked it!
I’m So Happy To Hear You Enjoyed It And That We Connected With That Emotion
I’m watching this again and it’s super cool how excited you were for 100 subscribers. And to see that you did the Orbital - Halcyon and on whenever you needed to get serious.
I freakin love the intro MellVerse!😂🔥
Bro I love this vid so much. I came in early like 74 subs however I always knew, this guy can go far! 100k+! I'll be with you to a billi+. Keep going my dude, you help with my depression that means a lot to me.
Your channel is growing fast! Watching you its like I get to watch the movie for the first time again. Thank you for that!
Thank You, That Means So Much To Me. Made My Day
I’m glad you understood that him doing the blackface is to show how stupid blackface actually is it’s satire
Lmao I Mean It Depends On The Way Black Face Is Used. But I See What You're Saying
Not only showing how stupid it is but how stupid Hollywood is.
you don't like it when chappelle goes whiteface?
Two things! RDJ is actually black in this movie, not doing blackface. And Chapelle doing whiteface is frickin' hilarious.
@@Micolash_is_behind_you lol chapels doing white face is hilarious
The final fantasy music at the start, instant sub. Love the movie reactions. Great work my dude, much love from Ireland 🤙
I love how you celebrated 100 subscribers and now you’re at 25k. Keep up the good work!
Crazy to see how much you've blown up in just 2 years! Keep at it blud! Good to see you keeping it humble and so excited for 100 subs! 100k soon come!
Less than 2 years!!!
Man whenever mell first dropped this reaction video i just knew he was gonna love this movie. Its so funny and the casting is great.
McBride's character mentioned he lost his pinky on the set of "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989). He wasn't driving. Some sort of accident on set we are led to assume.
First vid of yours I’ve found. Loving it mate. 100 subs but nearly 5K already! Lets gooooo
Thank You So Much, That Means A lot. I’m So Glad You Enjoyed It.
How do you only have 8k with that top tier editing? Definitely subbing and notys on bro
Love your reaction, I busted out laughing with you even though I've seen this movie many times and watched several reactions. I also busted out laughing while scolling through your videos, you got this one Final Fantasy video with 1 view lmao
Lml Yeah The Gaming Industry Hasn’t Been So Welcoming Lmao. So I Switched All My Focus To Reactions Right Now. I Love It, But I Will Start Gaming Soon And My Quality Has Gotten A Whole Lot Better. Was Using OBS And PlayStation Sharefactory Didn’t Know What I Was Doing. I’m So Happy You Enjoyed This Video. Thank You So Much For The Support.
@@HelloMellowXVI thanks for the laugh, I subbed!
@@wtfisditvoorbullshit No Thank You, The Devils Advocate Is The Next Reaction
Crazy to see how far you have come. Getting so excited about 100 subs and seeing where you are now is mind blowing
I just stumbled on your page just now! You were celebrating 100 subs and now I see you’re at 30k+ So awesome and happy for you! Love this reaction, I’ll always remember the first time I watched this movie lol it’s a good one
6:17 I love that you used the song Orbital- Halcyon On and On. I always think of the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie whenever I hear that song
the movie hackers is what comes to mind to me. saw it 1000 times back in the day.
@@hallu9438
And in Hackers, its right in the opening
>Nov 2020: Just hit 100!
>April 2021: pushing 35k
Talk about some insane growth though my man.
>May 2021: pushed past 42k
"That came out of nowhere!"
Perfect reaction take to the movie's big twist.
The movie that made absolutely everyone go "Hey, Toby Maguire."
Wow it’s so weird to see you celebrate 100 subs and discuss giving up on your channel 😩 been there still there! It’s been amazing to watch your channel grow and I’ve only been subbed a month! Congratulations 🎉
Mell: "This is unnecessary" Worst part, it's a pretty tame rendition of the madness that was filming Apocalypse Now xD
Intro is always amazing, and you found your audience and it will only get bigger!😍
Wow! I started subscribing in 2021, and am just getting to this reaction. I know every channel starts somewhere, but I never thought about that at some point you only had 100 subscribers. Congrats on the success of your channel. Really cool to go back and see your early reactions!
RDJ in character breaking down the "R" word (I still can't believe I need to that) was done so well.
definitely an under appreciated performance because of the character.
The shoot em up of Ben Stiller was a parody of a scene in Platoon. Lol! There's a lot of comedic references to some classic movies!
You’ve came a long ways from this and congratulations on it and keep up the grind
Here we are 63k in!!...well done bro🇬🇧stands with you brother!!!
When you get a chance, watch it with audio commentary. RDJ keeps the promise of staying in character 😆😆
I’ll Definitely Watch That lml
The key to blackface working in this was definitely that it's completely used to punch up at actors who are up their own ass, not punch down at black people, and is called out in the movie itself. I remember folks making a way bigger deal out of the frequent use of the word "retarded" at the time.
I subscribed to you after watching your The color purple video and I watched this next and to see how excited you are for 100 and then I saw how many you have now? Good on you man! Keep up the good work! ✨✨✨
The intro sealed the deal for me🤣😂🤣😂 new subbie!!
This movie is one of the best movies ever made. As a veteran the one thing i found hilarious was Ben Stillers weapon. A M4 Carbine, which wasnt even made for combat in Vietnam lol. M4s began circulating in branches of the military like late 2010 lol. To me it was funny lol
Great reactions to this movie is a masterpiece.
From a hundred to 100000, good on you g
Lol I had to subscribe after that intro dance had me in tears lol You are in the 110Ks now so you are doing something right! Way to go!
100 subs 1 month ago to 9.55 thousand now
Holy shit
This is the fastest growing channel I have ever gotten the privilege to see🤟🤟🤟
Wow Thank You So Much Man
Yeah
It’s insane
*Cant express how much I love seeing this . Inspirational.*
I'm watching this 100 subscribers video & you have 20k subscribers now which is awesome.
I saw the unrated version of this movie which is different in some spots (and MUCH funnier) and it is one if the best parodies of the movie industry. Ben Stiller thought of this concept when he was an extra in "Empire of the Sun" and in fake boot camp. Robert Downey Jr, Brandon Jackson, and Tom Cruise are my favorite parts. The RDJ and Brandon Jackson shit is fucking HILARIOUS!!! They played off each other really well (there's a lot of improv - that's also why RDJ's character was changed from Irish to Australian, cause he's more comfortable improvising with an Aussie accent). The movie is VERY not pc, even at the time it was released let alone 12yrs later. But it's funny as hell.
Your reaction to Damien blowing up is golden! Love this channel man, just started watching
Best role Tom Cruise has ever played!
