Finally got a chance to show Maple Tropic Thunder!
Best comedy of the decade?
Best comedy movie ever made. We'll never get anything like it again because of woke garbage unfortunately :/
Certainly one of the most original premises for a movie in a very long time.
One of the best
For me I can’t say any movie or tv series is the best but I can say one of my favourite or I can say is in my top 10
That's just nonsense. @@DanielAura
Yes. Ben Stiller is a genius.
"Man I don't drop character until I've done the DVD commentary."
RDJ was still in character for the DVD commentary of this movie.
He was, and I listened to all of it 😂😂that was a great choice by RDJ to do that😂😂😂This movie is spectacular and always makes me laugh everytime I watch it. So smart yet so silly and stupid😂😂
Was the best DVD commentary EVER!
The fact he also breaksdown and changes characters as Kirk is having a breakdown is GOLD!
Everyone already loves RDJ but holy shit i cant imagine how anyone made it through a single scene without cracking here. As funny as it is to watch kirk lazarus stay in character in black face the entire time, on set theres and added layer of RDJ playing lazarus, hes a dude playing a dude, playing another dude who's disguised as yet another dude. I dunno if they talked much about behind the scenes antics but i have to assume RDJ was just walking around making people spit out their coffee all day lol.
Now i got to get the dvd
This movie is a rare scenario of a film coming out at the absolute perfect time (before social media), and then immediately not being able to be made ever again afterwards. A peak in comedy movies
why do chuds act like this movie is so triggering. so eager to be offended about the imaginary snowflakes theyre mad at 24/7. relax
My favorite Mel Brooks quote about blazing saddles. "We couldn't make the movie then either, but we did." If you make something of quality, it can skirt the line and still be good. I mean, hell, RDJ got so much shit for this movie before members of the black community spoke up in his defense.
I think they could still make this today
@@NobuhikuObayashiI like to think it could but I don't know. Imagining a million different groups protesting something every 5 minutes.
@@NobuhikuObayashi Could make it but to get people to sign on and for it to be as accepted, no. Not worth it so it wont happen unless shit swings back again in the future.
The way McConaughey looks at that picture of his kid gets me every dang time 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
“At least you got to choose yours.” 😒
I'm *stuck* with mine
@@taylorv9661damn, that's cold. 😂
Lol no kid deserves that look
watching Chad just dying with laughter as Maple realized what was going on with the blackface, hilarious
her soft "chaaaaaaad" hahaha
It Wasn't Blackface. It was mocking actors who go overboard getting into roles.
@@michaelsublet3283it was both. 😊
it was blackface dont know why people try to act like it wasn't. just enjoy it without these qualifiers@@michaelsublet3283
@@michaelsublet3283 From wikipedia:
Blackface is the practice of non-Black performers using burnt cork or theatrical makeup to portray a caricature of Black people on stage or in entertainment.
This is literally what RDJ's character does in this movie. He changes his appearance to look black, then portrays an extremely stereotypical and overdone version of a black man.
RDJ character in this flick..
a Australian actor, playing a African American Sgt, disguise as a Viet farmer, was pure gold ! 😂
He’s just the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude. 😂
I loved how he still sounded like the black dude while speaking asianish. 😂
The character of Less Grossman has only aged better, like a fine wine. Because Tom essentially wrote the character himself, and said he was inspired by Harvey Wienstein, who he always felt was a tool, and an ass. And this was before the scandal broke. So it just makes it even better knowing the origin of the character lol
Edit: it's also fun to know, Ben originally took the movie to Cruise (since they are friends) to have him read, and give feed back on the script. Tom thought it was absolutely hilarious, but was missing something. He said "there needs to be some kind of urgency or pressure for them to get the movie done, where's the studio in all of this?" They then rewrote the script together and added the Less Grossman character as the industry typical movie producer/studio exec. Theres a whole interview out there on You-tube where Ben explains it all better than I 😂
*"You pull down their pants and you spank that ass."*
- Definitely hits different 🤣💀🤣💀
If I remember correctly this was coming off his super serious phase, right? The whole "glib" episode was around this time. I remember being absolutely shocked at Tom Cruise being this funny and not serious.
More Don Simpson than Weinstein.
It’s a combo of Stuart Cornfeld, Scott Rudin, and Weinstein.
Best Tom Cruiser role ever.
Osiris's "He's not playing God, he's being judged by him", is my favorite line from this movie. 😂
“Survive”
“Well at least you get to pick yours. I’m stuck with mine.”
"HUH! What do you mean "you people"?"
"- GIMME THAT gawdamn map!"
Apparently the idea of "Simple Jack" was actually from Ben Stiller auditioning for Forest Gump which must have been a sight to see! :D
A parallel universe where forest gump is played by Ben Stiller and Tom Hanks in tropic thunder lol
That lady farmhand (in the Simple Jack trailer) is Ben Stiller's wife!
The opening scene for Ben Stiller, is a direct parody of Willem Dafoe's death in "Platoon." It's an iconic image. It was on the movie poster and cover.
Yeah, i lose ir whenever I see Ben Stiller channel Willem Dafoe's death scene from "Platoon"
Platoon is such a good movie that in the moment, it doesn't seem like a ridiculous scene. When you see it parodied elsewhere it's funny as hell because out of context the scene is super ridiculous.
FYI this movie actually has the greatest DVD commentary track as RDJ is in character for the whole thing
YES!!!!! 😅😅😅
😮
Tallidaga nights has a good one too
There is a DVD commentary podcast that has it
I love that Jay Baruchel’s character is the only normal person, because he hasn’t been in Hollywood long enough for it to fuck him up.
Dude should have called in his dragon, this would all be settled in like two minutes
RDJ should've gotten the oscar for this role. This was one of the last TRUE comedies.
I mean heath ledger deserved it
"Last 'true' comedies"???
What absolute nonsense. Do you not get much?
He was nominated. I think he did get the Golden Globe, though.
He has the biggest balls in recent Hollywood history to do that role.
What an incredibly cringeworthy comment lmao. Last true comedies?? Just talking out your ass
*"Fartin' in the bathtub, laughing ya azz off."* 😂😂😂
- Might be my favorite character in movie history.
This film will never get old, always has mr laughing way too hard and RDJ absolutely killed it..everyone did to be fair. 😂
The reaction when you realised who RDJ was though 😂
RDJ got nominated for a Oscar with this performance. _In a comedy!_
You could count in one hand the number of comedies that had actors or crew who were nominated for an Oscar. That's how good he was here.
And Tom Cruise. 🎉
Can we talk about how utterly magnificently Mr. Black portrayed a heroin addict? Chef's kiss and slow clap!
Arianna's reaction to this is priceless. One of the best out there. If you take a drink every time she "can't", you'll die of cirrhosis in the first few minutes.
Post-reaction comment: You guys were great, as well. Your laughter is contagious.
Conspiracy theory: Kirk Lazarus did not undergo pigment alteration. It was just a promotion for the film. Notice how white he becomes after his mental breakthrough...
"Man, I don't drop character 'till I done the DVD commentary."
Fun Fact: When recording the audio commentary for the Unrated DVD and Blu-ray, Robert Downey, Jr. actually spends the entire commentary in the character that appears on the screen as the movie progresses.
Historical Fact: The South East Asian gang Flaming Dragon, led by a pre-teen boy, was modeled after God's Army, a guerrilla army in Myanmar. The group was led by twin brothers Johnny Htoo and Luther Htoo, who were nine years old when it was founded in 1997. Johnny and Luther Htoo were fond of American action movie heroes, especially the Rambo franchise.
Cruise Unbound Fact: Ben Stiller said nearly all aspects of the Les Grossman character were developed by Tom Cruise, including the dancing and the look of the make-up. Stiller said that in addition to the more obvious make-up effects applied to Cruise's face and head, and the extra hair on his chest and arms, Cruise also decided to play the character wearing oversized prosthetic hands.
One of the greatest comedy films of all time. It's so wild, so unpredictable, so perfect. I want to believe you could still make a movie like this today, but I'm not sure.
I put this up with Monty Python movies as one of the best ever made. If you don't know Monty Python go look them up.
Probably the closest we can get nowadays to a major movie satire is a new Deadpool movie.
Although I've seen the movie a few times and around 10 reactions of this movie all the way through, I'm still gonna watch this one. This movie is a once in a lifetime comedy masterpiece and I love watching it with people who never seen it before.
What’s great is that when you listen to the commentary for this RDJ is still in character.
Well, he did say he doesn't drop character until he finishes the DVD commentary. 😂
I do not break character until the DVD commentary is done.
The question is, as which character? 😂
Damn I really enjoyed Maple's reaction to Tropic Thunder. She just couldn't stop laughing.🤗
Probably the most quotable movie I've ever seen. Too many gems to name. Could probably do a top 25.
Maple needs to be in every comedy movie you guys do in the future. Her laugh is infectious
RDJ talking about before the war, being a saucier in San Antone is a direct reference to the character of "Chef" in "Apocalypse Now."
The unnatural speed that McConaughey ran away with at the end absolutely destroyed me my first time watching it
love the brief Voight cameo at the Oscars, he is the most nominated actor without winning one, that's why he was ready to go but was so pissed he didnt get it, again lol, he's a good sport for doing this
the fact that robert downey jr got nominated for an oscar makes this 10x better
Downey DID almost break character at the end when he spit that shit out
One might argue that the cracks in his method had been building and he was getting closer to falling apart
The song at 2:24 is Sadness by a German band named Enigma. They were all the rage in the early 90's.
Fun fact: When Downey Jr's character says "I don't drop character until I've done the dvd commentary" he means it. If you watch the move with commentary it's Lazarus Kirk speaking
One of the best movies ever, one of the last great comedies, RDJ's second best role after Tony Stark. And so many amazing actors in this movie, big and small. Ben Stiller struck gold here.
And the final dialogue between RDJ and "SimpleJack" Ben Stiller is homage to the ending of "Apocalypse Now" and the meeting of Capt. Willard (Martin Sheen) and Col. Kurtz (Marlon Brando).
Yup lifted straight from that scene
The more I watch this film the more I’m convinced it’s a once a generation film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I dont know how many times ive seen different channels react to this movie and they're all great but the reactions when the Key Grip punches the director in the face is always so damn funny to see. Love you guys! 😂
"NO U CANT HAVE ANY F*CKING JELLY BEANS"😂😂😂gets me everytime 😂😂
47:22 Cody won an Oscar for the special effects! Deserved
The best part is that Robert Downey Jr did the DVD commentary in character.
The DVD commentary is hilarious. If you get a chance to listen to it, you won't regret it. He *did* stay in character.
"I don't read the script. The script reads me." That is my favorite line in the film. If it weren't for Downey going against Ledger for Best Supporting Actor that year, he would have won the Oscar.
Heck, 2008 was his year (Iron Man, the cameo in The Incredible Hulk, then this movie)
Robert Downey Jr. 100% deserved his Oscar nomination for this role. And if it weren't for Heath Ledger's Joker, I would have seen him take the award home; the performance was just brilliant. It was when he was playing the poppy farmer, but doing it as Lincoln Osiris, instead of Kirk Lazarus just using his masterful acting to do it accurately. Downey was like 3 layers deep in performance and it just hit like a brick how darn incredible he did with the role.
This movie is a historical treasure 😂
I love Galaxy Quest and Three Amigos. The actor becomes a hero is an amazing story.
preach
When Ben Stiller brought up the roll to Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise told him, "I want to have Fat Hands, and I want to Dance". Mission accomplished
I love that RDJ was still in character while speaking in the foreign language, so he's trying to put on two accents at the same time to fool the Kid.
The second she sees RDJ as Osiris, “Chaad!” 🤣
"More like, what do *you* need Les? Glasses?" ( as he's wearing some glasses already)
I saw a great interview with Tom. They wanted him to play another part but he took the producer part under 2 conditions: 1- he got to wear 'fat hands'! And 2- he got to dance! Best Tom EVER!!! LOL
This film is comedy genius at its finest in every way literally!!!!😅🤣😂😋🤪😝❤😎👏🙌🙏👍🎉
I love that Maple knew exactly where it was going when Lazarus went "For 400 years...."
I swear I've never seen Maple laugh so much the entire movie 😂😂😂
10:25 we not gonna talk about how Speedman is holding his phone to his ear..while also having his Bluetooth in his other ear? 😅
''That's when he became Rust Cohle.'' You killed me with that line.
19:35 The first of three absolute Classic Lines in this movie. 🤣
22:40 Here's the second set-up. 🤣🤣
31:50 And here is the third. 🤣🤣🤣
This movie is goddamn quotable
The Satan's Alley song is called Sadness by a group called Enigma.
"You were farting in bathtubs and laughing yo ass off." 😂😂
RDJ actually stayed in character for the Tropic Thunder DVD commentary.....now that is epic just like the film. 😂
The "I don't drop character til I do the DVD commentary line..." you should actually listen to the DVD commentary. Yes, yes he was in character for the whole thing. It was fucking glorious.
33:22 I’m convinced that he was about to break character and just switched up 😂
The DVD commentary might be better than the movie 😂😂😂
"what do you mean you people?"
"wait, what do you mean you people?"
🤣🤣
Im so glad she noticed how fast McConaughey ran at the end! That part always gets me 😂
When I heard you say the name of the channel, I wrote you said "diet Jesus". I wash like alright, we got the low calorie Jesus taking over right now. 😂
It's tricky to tell younger people, "Yeah, Gregorian Chants were a total thing, in the 90's...."
I'm not even done watching and this has been one of the best reaction vids ever. Watching Chad's face anticipating some of these jokes is priceless.
Hyperbole aside, this might be one of the funniest movies every made. The satire is razor sharp, it takes some really risky chances, the performances are career bests from a few people, and it's a solid parody.
hands down favorite comedy so many stars in a crazy absurd movie and they all killed it
RDJ was nominated for an Oscar for this role. Amazing.
I think Tropic Thunder is a lot like Airplane in that you have all these actors, who are better known today for their dramatic roles, in a balls-to-the-wall comedy/satire.
Good comparison. True.
@2:24 The song is from a huge band back in the 90s callled Enigma. This song is called Sadeness - ua-cam.com/video/4F9DxYhqmKw/v-deo.html
They made alot of songs back then. Another popular one was Return to Innocence - ua-cam.com/video/Rk_sAHh9s08/v-deo.html
Goddamn
I love Maple's laugh and both of your reactions. It made me appreciate this movie more.
watching chad edit this was loads of fun ^^ cant wait to watch this ..also realized that the squad drops in with 1LMG , 1 shotgun and 3 rifles but at the final showdown there 2 rifles on rdj and each on alpha and Sandusky.
Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise played the role of their lives in these movies! Robert Downey was nominated for an Oscar for his role!!! XD And Tom Cruise deserved another nomination too! XD
WHEN RDJ IS AUSTRAILIAN HE'S DOING A YOUNG MEL GIBSON IMPRESSION, WHEN HE'S OSIRIS HE'S DOING DANNY GLOVER., HE COULD BASICALLY DO LETHAL WEAPON ALL ON HIS OWN.
"How can you tell this is a Vietnam-era movie?"
Soundtrack: CCR song
Soundtrack: Sympathy For The Devil
fun fact, during the mtv movie awards which this movie was nominated for some/an award. For promotion material and a tribute Tom cruise came out in full make up as the character and did a live performance, even danced with Jlo. Idk if you can find the entire footage.
Chad and Maple was the play for this reaction. I freaking laughed with Chad throughout the whole vid 😂😂
I love Bill Haders' "dancing" behind Tom Cruise who's going all out!! Man this movie kills me!
Yes im so here for a Maple and Chad reaction to this easily one of my top 5 comedies ever i love this movie so much!! I loved Arianna's original reaction this and i mean Maple's reaction to the bust a nut bar had me sold immediatley 🤣so yeah great reaction guys maples constant incescent giggling though!haha🤣and when she seen Kirk "Chaddd i know who that is " and Chads face throughout haha Everyone is amazing in this movie but RDJ/Kirk Lazarus and Tom Cruise/Les Grossman are tied as my favourite easily haha "I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude!" "I don't read the script script reads me""Want some? GET SOMEEE!""Survive" "Peekaboo i see you!"😂
'Devil's Advocate' (also with Keanu Reeves & Charlise Theron) would be a fantastic Al Pacino film to react to. Great film, I love when Al Pacino plays bad guy :)
Didn't think anything could top Arianna's reaction to this, but you two cracking up with uncontrollable laughter through was just amazing! Seems like the perfect opportunity for Chad to combine this with Arianna's video and make a third video in the style of those lame compilations that some creators on youtube make from other peoples content.
This is one of the greatest films to watch for a reaction. I've seen Arianna's, Addie's and now Maple's. Never gets old.
And I'm going to keep mentioning her in your feeds, and you in her feeds until you all do a collaboration. Get on it.
Kids grabbing their genitals when they're nervous is actually a thing. It's an instinctive reflex to protect their most sensitive areas, like cats hiding their bellies.
Not sure that is the reasoning. It's more like self-soothing I think and more common with autistic people, one trait is sometimes doing just that.
2:22 the song is Enigma - Principles Of Lust
The ears hanging from his dogtags is what soldiers would do to keep them from clanking together. They would cut off the ears of dead Vietnam soldiers.
I'm so glad you guys did this movie. It's my number one comedy movie of all time. I've never laughed so hard or consistently through any other movie. Loved the reaction!
“SURVIVE!” That part kills me everytime.
In the theatre we legit thought the booty sweat and busta nut commercial was real until the end.
Tenacious D Pick of Destiny Reaction! Manifest that shit into existence!
"SURVIVE!!!"
-Sergeant Osiris
"Dang it, Blamtucky! I'm ain't reprogramming a VCR!"
When Tivo saves you...
Playaaaa
This reaction should be called ¡¡¡ Celebrating
one million !!!
🙌 congratulations 🥳 🎉👏
Thanks :)
Great reaction, guys! This is one of those classic movies that will never get old.😂
This is probably one of the best reactions to this movie lol. I've seen other reactions for this movie but this one I enjoyed nd I was cracking up like it was my first time watching Tropic Thunder. Awesome cast, great comedy.
One of the rare times the dvd commentary is better than the actual movie.
If you watch it, its Stiller/Jack Black and Downey. But the whole time hes still in character as Lincoln. 😅😅
So what he said was true....
He doesn't drop character until the dvd commentary rolls out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really enjoyed Mapled reaction, so funny interaction 😁😁
The modern day equivalent to Blazing Saddles ❤
2:26 Song " Enigma - Sadeness "
Best comedy movie EVER made! Great react, Mapple really grew on me, she's very smart and insightful!
2:25 lol - the 90s had some weird shit going on. makes me think of a post I saw a while back that said:
“Remember that time in the 90s when everybody was really into Gregorian chants?
I love that younger people reading this don’t know whether I'm joking or not.
I'm not.”
Robert Downey Jr. Got the best one liners in this movie...i was laughing the entire time
Maple’s laugh gives me life 🌱
Saw this in the theatre and it was PACKED. Everyone laughed, no one got butt hurt. That this movie is seen as PrObLeMaTiC these days is actually an indictment of todays attitudes, as opposed to the movie! 😊
LETS GOOOO!! 💪😎💪
