What I love about Downey Jr.'s character is that he is the very first to truly understand what's happened, but because he refuses to break character, he only tries to warn the others in the way his character would in the context of a melodramatic, Hollywood movie, so nobody believes him.
Well said. It's very curse-of-Cassandra lol
He breaks character beyond his character breaking character though, you can see him laugh multiple times during the movie lol
@@ItsAsparageese "He's not playing God, he's being judged by him." - That made me spit out my popcorn when I first saw this in theaters when it came out!
@@matthintz9468 for me it was “I don’t read the script. The script reads me.”
@@goldboy150 that's my favorite as well
Best thing about Tom Cruise's character is that it was all Tom's idea. The look and the dance, everything.
There is a story that he demanded fat fingers. "He has to have fat fingers!"
Isn't he channeling Harvey Weinstein?
A nutless monkey could do his job. 😏
@@abeartheycallFozzy The term he used was "Ridiculously large hands" That and the dance scene was all he wanted.
@@shanester1832 there’s a bunch of producers in that look.
My favorite scene: “For four hundred years that word has kept us down” followed by The Jefferson’s lyrics. Alpa’s reactions are gold.
"Man just cause it's the theme song don't make it not true 🤷🏿"
Wild lmaooo couldn't b these days
Lmaooooooo
@@rtvnartavian09 thats what people said/say about Blazing Saddles... and then this came out. Ofc it can be done even now... its just about HOW its done.
it's so fucknig good eveerytime it gets me
''You talking to me this whole time?''
Gets me every time.
Me too. This MAY be my favorite scene because its such a throwaway scene
Gamer talk.
I was talking to whoever was listening.. 😳
Marriage in a nutshell lol
And it was all improvised by Baruchel.
Not only did Robert Downey Jr. remain in character during the DVD commentary, he did it in real time even revealing his Australian character as done on screen only returning to himself, the actor during the credits.
What’s your top 3 black faces?
@@howardb.6205 Firstly mine, Samuel Jackson and I guess Pam Grier. She was beautiful.
Underrated comment
Yea there’s another entire doc style video of rdj character that’s epic, I believe it’s on UA-cam
Strangely his Australian accent in the DVD commentary is much better than his one in the film.
The perfect parody of the entire movie industry.
A lot of Reactors don't get that!
If only Don Rickles and Paul Ross were in this than it would be a roast of Hollywood
@x See : "Rust"!
As far as self-deprecating Hollywood movie, this one definitely belongs with the greats, "The Bad and the Beautiful" and "The Player". Most amazing thing is, it was conceived by Ben Stiller, the same guy who did Zoolander and Cable Guy.
The last true great parody
This isn’t _a_ parody movie, this is _THE_ parody movie!
Probably the best meta comedy film ever made!
Ben Stiller’s masterpiece.
The "Never-go-full-retard" scene this cracks me up!
People are too soft now
@@NewCandyCane stuff like this is still made today. this narrative that everyone is too soft is fox news propaganda.
The fact that Tom Cruise could have anything he wanted in this movie but chose to play this is gold. He probably pay for all of his filming too. That's how you know actors were just enjoying themselves
"I love the first 5 Scorcher movies, so I can't wait for that" 😂💀
Robert Downey Jr was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie
On most other years he would have won
did you watch the video? they literally said that word for word
He was robbed!
@@AimekReacts chill, dude. It was probably written before they said that
Most quotable “character” ever!
RDJ
Tom Cruise's "I WILL F*** YOU UP!" rant is probably my favorite bit.
Not only do you have the audience clap when your kids come in but she’s wearing a Michelangelo TMNT outfit. That’s just super adorable. 😊
"Damien cut!" is one of my favorite scenes in a movie. LMAO the fact hes being tortured and thinks its still the movie! I lose it every time!
RDJ absolutely broke character when he said "spit that shit out". Theres no way he didnt, such a great movie
The whole "You have hands" bit is kinda funny, but Jack Black interpreting it as "You grew hands!?" is hilarious.
I love McConaugheys overall performance, his reactions to everything were perfect
At least you get to choose yours....
@@bigbubbano23im stuck with mine. Hmm.
"What do you mean, 'you people?'"
"....What do YOU mean, 'you people??'"
my friends and I always quote this and many other lines from this movie. Iconic xD
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
14:42 The "Married with Children" style audience cheering cracked me up so hard. She's so cute!
This is one of my favorite movies ever. It's not just a comedy, there is a lot of commentary on stereotyping and discrimination in general, obviously in terms of Ben Stiller playing someone with disability and RDJ in blackface. I love how generally people still love this movie. Someone tried to "cancel" RDJ for blackface a litlle back and all of Black Twitter put that down immediately. There will be no Tropic Thunder slander, ever. LMAO.
Is there REALLY "commentary" about stereotyping and discrimination? They just made funny characters ... and those NEED (in a certain style of humor) EXAGGERATION, which lands you right in the "disability" and "playing blackface" (because that is the visual way to say "method actor") corners.
"Commentary" is something serious ... and also includes a conclusion ... which is completely missing from the movie. "JUST HAVE FUN WITH OUTRAGEOUS CHARACTERS ... and dont judge at all", that's the message of the movie!
@@Muck006
I mean, there is commentary on it: just because commentary is presented in a certain style, be that comedic or otherwise, doesn't mean it's not addressing something. That's what seperates simple parody from satirisation, which this movie does do: I mean, I still remember when the Ancient One in Marvel was getting so much crap because the role was played by a caucasian woman instead of Asian man. Kevin Feige is still getting crap for this 'whitewashing' to this day, to the point he apologised last year despite casting for the role happening almost 9 years ago and he openly said he was trying to avoid stereotyping when he chose the role.
Alpa Chino playing the 'straight man' whenever Kirk goes a little too far in his portrayal is a perfect lampshade of how a lot of people view casting in Holywood:
"Maybe I just knew I had to represent, because they had one good part for a black man and they gave it to *cRoCoDILe dUnDeE*".
Just because it's not a dark and scathing world like the Watchmen, or a corporatocracy and politics angle like The Boys, doesn't mean it isn't a nice distorted mirror of the modern world.
@@Muck006 From my understanding of the term, I would disagree with both assertions that commentary must be serious and needs to include a conclusion.
My understanding of Commentary is that it draws one's attention to a situation from a perspective that differs from the norm, in an effort to make you view said situation in a fresh and enlightening manner. It is perfectly acceptable to do that and allow the viewer to draw their own conclusions, rather than forcing your own. In fact, it is infinitely more effective to do that, because everyone is more inclined to believe a conclusion to which they themselves have come, rather than one that has been pushed upon them. It is your job as the commentator to highlight that situation in such a manner that the conclusion to which the viewer comes is self-evident, without you having to spell it out for them. And if they come to a different conclusion to yours... well then even better, because the entire purpose of commentary is to provide differing and unique perspectives so as to help us all better understand the objective Truth of a situation.
Likewise, it is often far more effective to call attention to a serious situation with comedy that shows an EXAGGERATED viewpoint (yet still within the boundaries of Truth), with the express purpose of driving home the point that is being made, rather than merely pointing it out in a serious tone. Comedy, especially the comedy of this movie, relies on absurdity for its humour and absurdity is one of the most effective means by which to draw attention to a situation that needs to change. When one realises how absurd the truth of any bad situation really is, one can truly appreciate the need for transformation in order for sanity to be restored.
As an Australian, I'd like to thank you for including for including the "That man's a national hero" line!
Fuck Yeah!!!!
My favorite line in the movie, the one that I go around repeating, is
"I'm sorry a dingo ate ya' baby".
"Do you know that's a true story"?
Cracks me up every time I see it. I know it's coming and I still can't help but laugh.
"Let's move, we only have 16 hours till they wake up!!" Easily my favourite line in the movie!!
Love how he knows that lol
Robert Downey Jr is the only person in history to wear black face and not only not get shit for it, but was nominated for a Oscar. I love this movie so much.😂
It's not blackface. Blackface is wearing greasepaint to create a non-specific derogatory caricature. This is a great characterization.
It's also not blackface because Downey Jr is, in fact, playing a white character. It's satirizing black face and Hollywood casting white folks in everything. And that's an important distinction.
Cruise should also have been nominated..
To be fair Ledger earned the win
Not a "moment" as such, but my favorite running gag though most of the movie is the entire series of interactions between Alpa Chino and Kirk Lazarus, where Chino just gets more and more offended every time Lazarus opens his mouth.
That and eveyine getting sanduskys name wrong every time. Lol
Tom Cruise did an interview where he talked about doing this Les Grossman role in a movie. He wanted to make the character have big hairy arms and hands. He was signed on to do this movie but it was literally written in that he had the final say in how the character looked. I am not the biggest TC fan out there but this is by far my favorite role he has ever done and played it perfectly.
“I want fat hands, and I want to dance” were his exact words iirc!
He is the GOAT ..
You're a hater
Agreed. I'm not been much of a Tom cruise fan since the 90s but his very overdone character was the cherry on top of one of the best comedies ever made. This movie is too damn funny
The studio applause for the entrance was inspired.
Sounded like a Married With Children track as well.
@@fs127 Aaaal, did you miss me? - With every bullet so far
Cornholio didn't say "I go pee-pee from my bunghole". 😂😅 He said "I need TP for my bunghole". That was hilarious!!
Really wish Tom Cruise did more comedies, he was hilarious in this one. When he was asked for the movie, all he said was, that he wanted big hands and dance to Flo Rida's "Low".
I liked his cameo in Austin Powers too
He's dedicated himself to one for decades, Scientology
Funniest scenes goes to the campfire scenes with Jack Black tied to a tree to RDJ yelling "what you getting at with the book script? Spit that sh*t out man!" to "Lance!". I absolutely died during these scenes.
Agreed! RDJ's face and look when he says that line is histerical...
I absolutely think a Tropic Thunder 2 or similarly styled film could be made addressing superhero films, the new prestige of TV and streaming, and social media's effects on an actor's career. The question is would the studio have the balls to go all out? There I think no.
If I'm not mistaken there is a periodic reality tv element in The Boys. I think there are times where they're being followed by camera men and do semi confessionals. It's been a while since I've watched it but I think so
@@brandonhinrichs4393 there is a little bit of that in The Boys, but that's not exactly a realistic show.
Not after the experience Ben Stiller had with Zoolander 2. He's back to Tv these days and took a long break from movies
Superhero capeshit does a good enough job parodying itself
@@vb8428I think they should probably should continue the story between the actors if there ever was a sequel but I hope he gets over this ptsd from sequels. In all honesty I think everyone behind the camera and the actors tried to hard to be funny and tried to hard to recreate and recapture what they did in the first one. That’s why it failed in my opinion
When any one of my family goes on and on and on about something, eventually I'll say "You talking to me this whole time?". That's one of my favourite bits, but with this film it's like picking a diamond out of One Eyed Willie's treasure hoard.
"You talking to me this whole time?" has to the greatest line in the film! So many small throw away lines and that one was the best.
"I need some dudes that speak American Goddammit" was one of my favorites.
This movie came out in 08 which still surprises me given how close we were to strong PC culture which was coming right around the corner. What a great movie.
One of Tom's best roles, imo, this and "Collateral" make him more than an action star.
Magnolia, born on the 4th of July, rain man. Definitely can act.
Fourth of July and Interview with a vampire are his best in my opinion.
Tom Cruise is a troubled individual off camera, but it must be said that he is probably one of the best actors of our generation!
Biggest movie star of all time
@@scottbarkley496disagree, has to be Arnold, but Tom is definitely in that legendary tier
I always appreciate Jay Baruchel's performances.
Jack Black is best when he gets something to really work with, Jumanji was such a great movie in no small parts because of his chops.
It's crazy to me how many people who don't get Stiller's dialogue. He has some of the funniest lines in the film and I've seen people not react to them because the jokes flew over their heads.
Everything about this film is amazing. All the performances are spot on, especially Tom Cruise's. Just perfect. And you can tell he's having such fun playing Grossman.
I didn't realise it was him fist time I watched it until he said "he is a white dwarf heading into a black hole. That's physics, it's inevitable"
Because it was a very scientology thing to say.
Fun fact: the story of the explosion with no cameras recording is actually a true story, but from The good, the bad and the ugly.
I think, in spite of expectations, a movie like this today would be just another smash hit. I know people would go after it but I think people would show up for the movie, too. It's obviously an uphill battle.
I still crack up at the cowboy had with built in headphones lol
Great catch seeing Justin Theroux near the beginning. He actually co-wrote this movie with Ben Stiller.
I knew he wrote and directed it but I had no idea he resurrected his DJ role from Zoolander. I never caught that in all the times I’ve seen it lol
Cruise is AMAZING in this movie .... and BTW what a cast for this parody!
This movie saved Cruise's career. People forget that his career was disturbingly close to Tugg Speedman's at this point
Saw this movie 3 times in theaters and every time was a blast with a crowd of people laughing there asses off, this movie is so good
The character that Robert Downey played deserves his own movie played by him. I’m black and I loved it. Funniest character by far.
I think she missed the part where he flung the kid... because she didnt fall on the floor dieing of laughter.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
I was kinda shocked with how good this movie was when I first saw it. Not a bad performance from anyone in the cast.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you🎁
Funniest parts for me are basically most of RDJ's scenes. I seriously forget it's him so many times because he says things in a way that is very culturally in line with at least the way I grew up and the people I grew up around lol
1. The way he fakes out Tug by complimenting his physique only to snatch the map: "gimme that gotdamn map" 🤣
2. The way he goes "MFer did you say Lance?" when Alpa accidentally comes out of the closet 🤣🤣
3. The "you people" bit gets a chuckle out of me every time, but that's Alpa's perfect timing that makes that pop hahah
One of my favorites! Your kids are so darn cute! I’m sure it annoys you but I love it when they interrupt. The fact that you guys shut everything down to take care of their needs tells me that you’re great parents. Tobey Maguire doesn’t get enough credit for being called up to a very small bit and he said sure! And he nailed it! Yes, Apocalypse Now and Platoon were the most referenced I think. Keep it up guys, love ya!
this movie never fails to make me laugh, regardless of how many times I watch it. One of the best satire movies ever
I absolutely LOVE the sitcom entrance applause when the munchkins appear. Never stop that!!! 🤟😎
Actually the movie "Platoon" is the Vietnam movie most parodied in this film, followed by Apocalypse Now.
I was gonna say that. Like when RDJ says, "You make it home alive" when Ben is getting shot in the back and put up his arms, that's definitely Platoon.
50/50 but that scene they're doing at the beginning, ALL "Platoon" ...later when Speedman loses it, that's a bit more
"Apocalypse Now"
I only watched this once after it came out on home video, It was my wifes choice of movie for the evening and I was only half paying attention to it as I was doing some work from home. The first scene with the Les Grossman character was bugging the hell out of me because I couldn't figure out who the actor was. By his second or third scene I really had my nose in my work but just heard the voice and immediately looked up and said" OMG it his him!" My wife still hadn't picked up on the actor so I wrote it down on a peice of paper and she kept trying to figure it out through the end credits. She still didn't believe it was Tom Cruise when she saw his name in the credits and then went back to watch his scenes and by then, " now I know I can't unsee it."
When the movie was released, all the fake trailers and ads were shown as if they were real, mixed up with actual movie trailers and ads as we would normally see in the theater before the movie started. A lot of people got really confused and that made it even more hilarious.
I love Danny McBride. His best role is as Kenny Powers in the series Eastbound & Down. Another one of his early film roles is in the Andy Samberg led comedy, Hot Rod.
" Land of the Lost "
Love Danny McBride in this and Hot Rod, those are his funniest movies in my opinion.
I love him in This is the end.
Hwhishkey
hot rod really under appreciated
What would Tropic Thunder 2 be about? They wrapped up everything in the film. The drug guys coming after the actors? Tugg Speedman trying to make and direct the film, they were making in the first one? Speedman having to hide from rabid PETA members, for killing a panda? I would love to see these guys back together in a film like this one, but how would you pull off a sequel?
Ben Stiller came up with the idea for Tropic Thunder whilst he was filming the JG Ballard biopic ‘Empire of The Sun’ alongside a very young Christian Bale.
16:00 That is 100% accurate. RDJ did the whole director's commentary in character and did not break until the end credits
He matches his character to the movie, so when he 'takes out' the brown contact and reveals the blue eyes he starts doing the Aussie accent until his name appears in the end credits when he switches to normal RDJ. One of the best movie commentaries.
You definitely know it had the right cast at the right time
😊
Damn, you got that it was Tom Cruise right away, props!
11:33 "that's where I have most of mine, too"
underrated quip
"Where ever he is, he is all over the place" always gets me
This is an uproariously funny film, despite its cringier elements. Hat tip to Tom Cruise for playing completely against type and totally killing it.
I agree it's awesome but i don't remember any "cringier" elements?
I remember it being "uproariously funny" the whole time!
@@USCFlash Me neither this movie is and was gold
If it doesn't make you cringe, it's not funny enough.
I don't remember any cringe elements.
Leaving the empty space and just staring for the studio audience laughtrack was so good.
I first heard of "Tropic Thunder" from my mom, whom she wanted to see that movie on opening weekend back in 2008. Jump to 10 years later, by the time when I was 16, I began watching that movie with my mom and my stepdad and it had me laughing all the way through, no matter how controversial it was.
And the jokes (particularly RDJ wearing blackface) may not work today, if I'm not mistaken. But it's still my favorite movie of 2008.💯
Loved your reactions! Can I just say Mrs Movies has the most precious and infectious laugh 😂 and Tropic Thunder brought out so many of them
I also cheered when your little girl walked in. Cute cameo
Not only is this one of the greatest war movies ever but it's also one of the greatest comedies ever
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you🎁
Bowfinger is another great spoof on Hollywood, and from Steve Martin's perspective too
I don't know why I haven't subscribed until now. You two have really fun reactions, love your content!
Best line of the video was from the Mrs. The Bootysweat line was awesome 👏
You guys should be WAAAY over 100K subscribers, your reactions are always great.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
"I love the first five scorcher movie's so I can't wait for that" 😂😂
That line that Robert Downey Jr. says I don’t drop character until I do the DVD commentary. If you watch the movie in it DVD commentary, he actually uses that same voice even up to the point that when he becomes an Australian….. the commentary of the film is as funny as the movie
RDJ also shines in Due Date and both Sherlock Holmes movies. The war film in the beginning was a parody of Platoon
The panda got the lovable surprised face like why u kill me 😢
When Tom Cruise was approached for the role of Les Grossman he said he had two conditions; He wanted big hands and he wanted to dance 😂
Guys should definitely check out We’re The Millers, hilarious hidden jem I believe you guys would love!
We’ve seen that one. It’s pretty funny. Plus. That shower scene. 🚿
@@YouMeTheMovies YES! That shower scene, "Friends" missed out.
The shower scene was probably the only part of the movie that the theater was not laughing at all.
this is one of my favorite movies ever. i was still in BMT when it came out. luckily there was a movie theater in base. every airman that saw it was praising it as comedic gold. and the theater was packed for the longest time to see this movie. i saw over and over and even bought the DVD lol
This may be the best comedy ever made. There are a very few other over the top ridiculously funny movies that are in the same category for hilarity., but whenever I see anything from this movie it's hard to debate that it's not the best
I was watching one of your old videos and you both seem awkward about the camera looking at you 🥹😂
you’ve both come a long ways😘👍
I enjoy hanging out with you two
Fav part "What do you mean, you people?" ..."what do YOU mean, you people?!" Hahahahahahahaha
"Big dick playa!"
*Hader in the back* "Swingin past your knees."
Is my favorite line in the movie.
I swear you guys must have a whole bunch of people behind the scenes to queue up your kids coming in just at the right moment every day.
If only we could have good comedic timing scripted out, but it's all her or her sister getting bored or feeling left out that she needs to peek in on us haha.
When Bill Hader takes a bite of a strawberry and puts it back on the tray is the funniest part.
This has to be one of the funniest films ever made.
"This is Flaming Dragon" scene was my favourite bit lol
14:41 awww she's too adorable and cute 🤗 best part of the video for me.
10:25
Great catch! He co-wrote the screenplay.
Oh, I saw this movie in the theaters - what fun!
SURVIVE!!
This is how it works - pure faith and badassery.
I'm going to start using that, "OH, whoa, wait, you've been talking to ME this whole time?"
when i watched this movie the first time i did not see it was Cruise as Les Grossman, i just kept having this feeling that i had seen the guy before...it was only when the credits rolled i found out who it was..... but Les Grossman is my favorite character of the movie and Bill Hader was also great as his underling
I watch a few reaction channels
And my favorite moment of any channel is when your kid comes through the curtain and the crowd cheers
Yeah, Justin Theroux and Ben Stiller were the ones who came up with the idea for this movie, and co-wrote it along with Etan Cohen. He also has a big role in Mulholland Drive.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
There are so many "...what the WHAT????" moments in this film, it's hard to pick just one moment. BUT if I had to, it would be Steve Coogan stepping on the mine. I SO did not see that coming.... and from that point I knew there was no limit to what they would do. Tossing stabbing boy off the bridge like a shuriken might be a close second. I only own the theatrical cut, but even in your edit I saw so much stuff that was not in my copy, I think I may have to acquire a copy of the director's cut. Thanks for watching this. You reminded me how much I like this movie.
Holy Sh*t that IS Justin Thereaux! good catch! I'm pretty sure most of this scene was cut from the theatrical, but I've seen the directors cut a few times and totally missed justin in dreds. The Leftovers was an awesome and totally underrated series.
"You mo' shredded than a Julienne Salad". Probably funniest line in this movie! Too bad it didn't make your YT edit.
May I suggest to all of you to search for the commentary there is a version here on YT
It’s so good they all are like a bunch of friends talking having a laugh and YES RDJ stays in character
The movie's riddled with "the funniest moment" but I definitely laugh out loud when I look at Robert Downey Jr's face when he follows up on the "I don't read the script, the script reads me" and rambles "Shut up with your books and scripts, script shit, spit that shit out man!" and completely breaks character. I squeal laugh at that shit!
Definitely my favorite Ben Stiller movie. I was not expecting to have so much fun in the theater watching this. 😂🤣
When your kid walked in 😂 I died laughing at the crowd applause and cheer lmfao
