And Yes, RDJ did the accent thru the entire DVD commentary.
Indeed, and its on youtube I think. Its hilarious.
I love him 3000
Yep. I never listen to commentaries but that one I did and I am glad I did 😂
The best goddamn film ever made! IDC what anyone says
Don't forget the "Tropic Thunder Behind the Scenes with Srgt Lincoln Osiris" video which is easily found on youtube.
George giggling uncontrollably is so contagious!
I'm sure Tom Cruise enjoys doing his action stunts and the money it brings, but man if only he did more roles like this.
Action is Tom Cruise acting, this role is Tom Cruise just being himself. :D
I wish Tom played more villains Vincent from collateral and The Vampire Lestat were some of my fave roles of his.
He actually only agreed to act in this movie if they let him put a fat suit on and just be funny. He wanted it to be far from the action movies he's used to.
@@Am3r1Kan0 Fat arms, not a fat suit.
“I’ll do it but I want fat arms and I want to dance.”
@@nebulous8389 he played a good smarmy coward in Edge of Tomorrow briefly.
Before character development. He's really good at that
Friendly reminder, RDJ was nominated Best Supporting Actor for this. He was AMAZING. And considering that this was the same year Iron Man came out, 2008 was definitely his big comeback year. And we are forever grateful for it. ❤️
And it was all thanks to a burger
He would have easily won too... if The Dark Knight came out any other year. Ledger would rightfully win it posthumously for Joker.
@@callmeshaggy5166 Yeah that's what sucks, is when there's a role that is undoubtedly one of the best ever put to film, and you have to go up against that. But RDJ wins probably 99/100 times otherwise.
@@17thknight It might have been a closer contest but Ledger ODed that year. He was getting all the sympathy votes. Like the year Clint Eastwood dies, he's 93, he'll win an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement or something. Yeah, he's won a couple for best director and film but not for his acting.
@@joelwillems4081 I honestly don’t buy too much into the “sympathy-voting” theory. If that was more common of a thing, then absolutely. But if it were true then Chadwick Boseman, Spencer Tracy, or James Dean would’ve won their respective awards. Only Ledger and Peter Finch have won posthumously for acting.
The "actors are put in real life situations like their movies" genre has so many gems. This, Galaxy Quest, The Three Amigos.
"Oh, Dusty! *In*famous is when you're more than famous."
A Bug's Life
trueeeeeee
@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t "I think it's a mail plane."
"how can you tell?"
"didn't you see its little balls?"
@@inarar5334 "Loooookuphere...loookupear...loooooooook.....HEY GUYS!!!!"
Comedies really demonstrate why having at least two people is such a good format for reactions. It's hard to control the laughter when the person next to you is cracking up.
It also helps to distract from any shortcomings they might have. for example, i've always found the comedy stylings of Ben Stiller and Jack Black to get a bit repetitive/stale sometimes, but having all of them play off each other, this movie was the perfect amount of each.
When I saw this in cinema I didn't actually recognise Tom Cruise until his name appeared in the credits. My whole torso was already sore from laughing, and so that realisation almost killed me.
I remember hearing ppl in the theater whispering it then recognized him on the second scene like, "omg how did they get him in this" lol
Same!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
For me it was when he started dancing. Actually I didn’t realize it until the person sitting next to me muttered “is that Tom Cruise?!” when he turned the music on the second time. Which made the movie even better.
In a way its a shame that he has to keep up the whole PG-13 movie star thing. He could be an awesome character actor or comedic actor in smaller movies and put in some great performances as a villain.
@@DirtCheapFU I suspected it was him by the end of the production meeting scene, but it was 100% confirmed in the first scene he has with Matthew McConaughey. It’s the voice more than the appearance.
11:31 "Why are you still in character?"
"I don't drop character until I've done the dvd commentary" lmao it's funny because in real life Robert Downey JR didn't break character until the end of the real dvd commentary haha
So two things:
1) In the theater, there was absolutely no break between the actual trailers and the fake ones. It went straight from some Jason Bourne type trailer to "I LOVE THA PUSSY!!!!" and it was the most awkward, uncomfortable silence I've ever experienced in a theater, until everyone finally got what the hell was happening. It was glorious. 😂
2) You HAVE to watch ¡Three Amigos! after this. It's a very similar plot, if you mixed it with The Seven Samurai. So freaking funny.
Yeah there was definitely a couple of minutes in my theatre of confused noises and nervous laughter before everyone was onboard
I was visiting a friend of mine in Vegas and we decided to go see this one in theaters. I ended up looking at my friend (before the Scorcher trailer played) and said "You got some weird fuckin' concessions out here", lol. A funny thing is, a year or so later, a friend of mine actually brought in a can of Booty Sweat for me. Apparently they made a limited run. I didn't drink it though, just put it on the shelf until one day the can was damaged and leaking, so I just threw it out.
I still recall the confusion with those. Just sitting there wondering if these ads were real or what was going on. I think the second or third one solidified they were a joke.
Omg, there was an older lady next to me who was *dying* throughout the movie. And we both were busting up when we realized, simultaneously, that the trailers weren't real.
It doesn't seem like that can ever be replicated. I remember when the advertisement announcement voice said, "crack an ass open!" some guy in my theater said, "wow, they're cursing in advertisements now."
"stroke the shaft, work the pipe, swallow the gravy" never fails to make me laugh, the delivery is 💯
Jack Black's best delivery
Love this film SO much. They'll never make one like this again
They need to. I want this time back
The blackface is probably why it hasnt come back. not that i agree. they removed always sunny episodes from hulu for the same reason. i wish people knew satire when they see it but idk people are very sensitive about it now
@@michaelbuffaloe5694 Most people got the satire and the concept of the use of Blackface when the film came out even though some expressed "fake outrage" at the time. But Robert didn't get "canceled". Remember Tropic Thunder and Iron Man came out the same year
@@michaelbuffaloe5694 Some of the best IASIP episodes too! Gotta love the gangs Lethal Weapon films
The film industry in general - not just hollywood - has lost a lot of what it once was. The density of top quality movie productions in a 30+/- years time span is remarkable to say the least. A multidude of reasons is responsible for the decline. It'd actually be a subject worthy to explore deeper. Very deep.
Robert Downey Jr was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in this movie!
RDJ and Cruise both got Golden Globe nominations for supporting actor. Lost to Heath Ledger, that year was loaded with great movies and actors/actresses.
Lol imagine if one of them beat Heath Ledger for that Oscar.. I'm not sure if I'd be too disappointed honestly.. I loved both movies but acting skills wise Ledger Deserved it hands down but if it was anyone else I'd be angry
@@ishessentials2084 Yeah, I mean, RDJ deserved it any other year but there's no arguing with Ledger.
If RDJ had won the Oscar for this movie for sure this would have been the greatest comeback in movie history. Imagine winning an Oscar and kicking off the MCU in the same year with Iron Man. As it is it's probably the greatest comeback anyways even without the Oscar.
I don't think I've laughed at any film in the theater as hard as I laughed at Tropic Thunder - they even had the volume turned up so you could still hear it over the constant laughter from the audience.
You really have to watch it again because it is literally a laugh a second movie. So much fun. .... PEACE.
I would pay to see the audience's reaction to the fake trailers
The part with the kid stabbing Tug and then him throwing him off the bridge might be the hardest I've ever seen you guys laugh lol
That scene reminds of Austin Powers fighting mini me!
it still kills me 😂it also reminds of the bit in Anchorman when Jack Black kicks Will Ferrells dog off a bridge 🤣
Oddly enough this is my favorite Tom Cruise role. Simply because it shows his range 😜
This and Edge of Tomorrow
Les Grossman is one of the greatest characters ever created.
Magnolia is good too.
"For 400 years, that word has kept us down"
That's one of my favorite comedic scenes of any movie!
Apparently the Simple Jack idea was from Ben Stiller’s audition for Forest Gump which was…interesting 😅
What? Didn't know he auditioned for that. Hahaha!
I love how Tom Cruise told the casting director that he specifically wanted to have fat hands and to dance, its almost like there was specific studio hack that he was imitating that he really didn't like - which makes all his scenes so much funnier when you consider they're also personal diss tracks to some awful hollywood exec somewhere who's just like that. I'm not sure if it's meant to be actually Harvey Winestein or someone else, but its still great
their are several stories around Hollywood about who Tom Cruise used Les Grossman to mock, the list includes Harvey Weinstein, and Stuart Cornfeld; if you look at pictures it's clear he used Stuart Cornfeld for part of the look. But apparently Tom had a recent run in with Harvey Weinstein (in 2007ish) while getting kicked out of Paramount pictures, and Tom used the role to stab him back; according to people who worked with Harvey, Cruise's impression of him is eerily accurate.
It might just be a bunch of them together. Cruise is now bigger than any studio producer. He's gotta be worth close to a billion.
I'm pretty sure that it's been all but confirmed that it was meant to be Harvey Weinstein - IIRC someone said that the fat hairy hands thing was VERY specific to Weinstein
There's gotta be a little bit of Joel Silver and Jerry Bruckheimer in there, too.
Given that it's nearly 15 years old now, it's very pleasing how well this has held up.
Damn has it really been that long? Hell I’m getting old 😂
@@oojumaflip1 August 15 2008 to be exact
That Luda song at the end is from 2004. 20 years. Can you believe it?
This movie is gonna go down in history as a timeless masterpiece of comedy.
Especially when you consider this was one of the last great comedies before Hollywood entered the "political correctness" dystopia we have now. Tropic Thunder would NEVER be made by today's Hollywood, which is part of what makes it great.
The thing about the fake trailers at the beginning, is that they perfectly synced right in with the actual trailers when this movie was in theaters. It took a few minutes to figure out that the movie had started, because my buddy and I were confused af when these goofy previews played
"Never go full retard" is absolutely a thing in Hollywood, although I doubt it was ever said like that. Some reviewers had their mind blown by how accurate that was. This movie is a masterpiece for that scene alone.
Hands down the funniest movie I've seen.
In my opinion. This is the greatest comedy/satire film ever made. Everyone completely killed their respective parts!
"I DON'T READ THE SCRIPT, SCRIPT READS ME"
BEST LINE IN CINEMA HISTORY
"He ain't playing God, He's being judged by him" was my favorite line hahaha🤣😂🤣
The look on your face when George said "He looks like a Lance" was priceless
That was so good.
"I don't read the script. The script reads me." That was my favorite line.
The DVD commentary line -- you have to hear Downey do commentary for this movie. It's hilarious.
Just seeing the reaction to the Bridge scene just made my day. Also I'm glad you kept the A Panda/Amanda part in with Matthew McConaughey, one of my favourite lines which usually gets cut in other reactions.
Sure it wasn't A Panther …?
"Come on dude, that's probably not even her real name." LOL, McConaughey is truly this movie's unsung hero.
Robert Dowdy Jr was not joking. He actually did the DVD commentary in character. It's absolutely hilarious.
I will contend that this is a top 10 comedy of all time. The jokes, the cameos, the social commentary; all of it is on point. When he yeets that child off the bridge, I laugh out loud EVERY time.
Every time I watch it .... It gets Funnier! It's Effing Brilliant!
He throws his little ass like Chucky I love that scene 10 years later too
what are the others that you like?
Tom Cruise's role and last dance are the greatest acting performances he has ever done.
i would love to see him more in "funny" Roles. That Guy is a Genius
@@yannikakapralli It's often for common action movie hero that they are actually better at comedy - and they say comedy is harder to act. Just look at like dwayne johnson, samuel l. jackson, will ferrell and mark wahlberg in "the other guys"
It's comedy gold when these "known action heroes" act with comedy.
He has great dramatic roles. He is a very good actor.
How many young people that watch this now miss that it was actually Lance from NSYNC...😝🤣😂
RDJ and Brandon Jackson's scenes give me life because the frustration Brandon's character feels is so real. It's so aggravating seeing people pretend and I can't stop laughing when he's like wtf are doing???
It's really frustrating when people come at this movie for depicting blackface, when satire of that very thing is the entire point.
I'm SO GLAD you guys allowed yourselves to laugh and understood the movie for what it was. Great reaction!
And yet George kept expecting the movie to get "real". Like when Tug went back to the village at the end. "Well, they're just going to kill him."
This movie is so dang good. RDJ's character and performance are just... top notch. He's so good.
I love the little acting touches he throws in, too. Like right before he delivers his "never go full retard" speech, he lets out this big heavy sigh, like he's thinking, "Do I actually have to explain this? How does this guy work in Hollywood and not know this yet?" This could've been a one-joke role, but Downey throws so much into it that he practically steals the whole movie.
I love the Stormlight reference “Shallan” when he’s having the identity crisis!
Thanks for keeping in so many good jokes and lines that some others tend to edit out. Especially the “You talking to me this whole time?” And “we only have 16 hours before they wake up” such simple throwaway lines but those are two of my favorites for some reason.
@@darkzer0670 lol you’re right I don’t think I’ve seen them keep it in either, bummer!
I love that "You talking to me this whole time?" line lol...the amount of times i have been out hiking or backpacking with buddies and one of us will be going on and on about some shit but some one does usually say the same thing haha
@@Nick_CF 😂😂😂
I remember my son watched this the day it was released. I hadn’t heard of it yet. He would NOT shut up about it. So I took both my daughters with me to watch it the next day. This is one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen. RDJ should have won the academy award for his role. He was nominated but he should have won. He was amazing, as were all of the main actors. 🔥
I mean, that was a damn tough year to be competing for supporting actor. I think most people, no matter how good RDJ was, would lean toward the posthumous win for Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight being the right call. But there’s no doubt they were both iconic performances that defined their respective movies, each of which are still talked about today.
Freaking masterpiece. I think Matthew McConaughey may quietly be the funniest one, but among everyone else that's a tall order.
My favorite Tom Cruise performance is Les Grossman. Also, the character was heavily based on Harvey Weinstein; I'm not joking
Actually the character is an extremely thinly veiled portrayal of a different producer: Joel Silver, to this day maybe the greatest producer of action movies ever but by all accounts one of the most unpleasant people in the film (on any other) industry who is infamous in the industry for his screaming fits and highly coloured verbal abuse.
Yess more comedies please, these are great 😂 Another comedic movie you might want to check out where Hollywood actors are thrown into a "real life" dangerous situation is This Is The End also starring Jay Baruchel & Danny McBride along with Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson & James Franco.
Yeah... a sort a spiritual sequel
Yess 100% agree they should do that one next
Another comedy could be Goon. Jay Baruchel wrote it and it's about ice-hockey, so might be suitable 😃
Amazing cast all around. Kudos to Ben Stiller's direction. Knew he was talented but to be able to direct all this mega talent...just wow.
i love Jon Voight's little cameo at the Oscars scene... he was overlooked for real oscar and his face in this when he's overlooked again is priceless
Ben Stiller wrote, produced, directed and main starred in this movie...
That's fucking impressive!
Reggie Lee, the actor that played the Flaming Dragon dude with the hilarious facial expressions while on the phone with Les Grossman was also super funny in the TV show Grimm. Great comedic timing.
Brandon T. Jackson playing off RDJ was probably my favorite parts of this film.
The huge hairy hands were Tom Cruise's idea, by the way. They talk about it in the commentary.
I'm pretty sure Les Grossman was based on Joel Silver or some other mega-producer that Cruise had worked with in the past, who had big hairy hands, and that's where the idea came from.
@@jculver1674 they say he based his appearance off of a producer friend of Ben Stiller named Stuart Cornfield. His picture on Wikipedia is pretty damn close.
@@Sitter007 that dude looks like an older Louis CK
This is still one of the funniest movies ever made 🤣🤣 so many classic scenes that are always funny to watch over and over
I Love how Simone immediately recognized Tom Cruise
All these years I never realized that Stiller wrote this with Justin Theroux and Ethan Cohen from the Coen Brothers! There's a notch on those guys' belts I never even knew existed!
That collective reaction people had in the theater when Lance appeared. It either flew over people's heads or was the funniest part
The parodies in this movie are HILARIOUS!! Didn't recognize Tom Cruise until I read the credits, so I rewound the tape. Tom in a "fat suit" and hip hop dancing was so good and so funny. His persona and dance moves were spot on. A truly funny movie by Ben Stiller. ... PEACE.
I've seen countless times. Both movie & the reactions, but the name "Tropic Thunder" already makes me giggles like little girl every time I hear it. That's how epic this was. Classic Comedy.
Tom Cruise is hilarious in this movie. Him and RDJ are the best. Glad you guys found it hilarious too. I saw it in theaters back in 2008.
One of the funniest films I've ever seen. The premise is fantastic, the performances are brilliant, and the script is stupidly funny. I saw this in the cinema on release and loved it so much I went back and took a girl on a date there, partly so I could see it again, partly to show her a great film. She didn't get it. 14 years later we're still together and I'm still not entirely sure how...
Opposites attract?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love your humor
I love that they let Tom Cruise go wild and gave him total control over his character.
I have never seen George laugh so hard and so long, I was looking forward to his reaction the bridge scene, and man was I not disappointed.
yeeting Half-Squat off the bridge is one of the greatest comedy moments ever
Hello CineBinge, I've never seen you two laugh at a movie this much before. It was some kind of record set.
George saying "alright alright alright" at the end. Doesnt even realise how much of a genius he is!
11:32 Fun fact: RDJ actually does the audio commentary in character. He breaks character during the closing credits.
Another great movie:
"The Last of the Mohicans"
a beautiful historical drama set during the 7 years wars between France and the UK in the americas.
The score was sublime. Should have won an oscar for that!
For some reason, the one thing that cracks me up most in this movie is the "Simple Jack chasing a butterfly with a hammer" bit.
The part where RDJ breaks character for two seconds actually works because he’s a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude
Watching you guys laugh uncontrollably to this was everything I needed today. This is now one of my favorite reactions ever. Great stuff you two!
I used to make references to this movie all the time, and my dad never understood them. One day I made him watch it, and he had almost the same reaction you 2 just did. It was hysterical laughter the whole time.
22:24 yes I think he broke there too but you can blame him. 😂
Jack Black going through withdrawal is one of the funniest things ever. 😅
Peep how peck is on the G5 at the end, mf agreed to les’s deal so he’d have a ride down to save the homie, man’s is a real one
When Ben Stiller approached Tom Cruise about playing the part of Les, Cruise said he loved the idea and found the script hilarious. He said he had only one request and that was he wanted to dance and he wanted fat hands. I'm not sure he has ever said the reason for that but I just love his character in this because it's so different from his usual roles.
Les wasn’t in the script, it was made up by Tom himself
True to his word, Robert Downey Jr. stayed in character through the DVD commentary.
Fun Fact: RDJ did the voiceover for the Bust-A-Nut/Booty Sweat commercial at the beginning.
😂😂😂
the face of the youngling panda killed, i laughed so much in theater, my girlfriend was so embarrassed. 😄
The chunky hands and the dancing were Tom Cruise's requests for him to play that role. You're right that every character played their roll perfectly.
It was SO much fun watching you guys watch this. I saw it in the theater (where the fake ad and trailers came after the REAL ads & trailers and instantly messed with the audience). I also own this film on BluRay, but the version you watched had scenes I had never seen before. Now I'm on a quest to find the extended cut of the movie that could NEVER be made today! 😁
Every actor needs an agent like Peck.
RDJ does the DVD commentary for this movie in character and as soon as the movie is over he switches to the Australian accent. He's so great.
It was nice to see Alan Partridge doing something that wasn't graveyward shift radio for once.
They need to see Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa
@@Heru_Iluvatar I worry it might not work without the context of the shows. Michael the Geordie might be particularly confusing to the uninitiated.
Still one of the funniest action comedy movies ever made!!
The way you edited the baby on back throw scene was funnier than the real scene.
tropic thunder reaction is the best reaction of all time. no movie/ tv show can beat tropic thunder for reaction videos.
Please watch STAR TREK! 🖖
Another Ben Stiller movie with a very different pace that I really like and that surprised me a lot is "The secret life of Walter Mitty" (2013). May be worth a look :-)
reality bites ,great movie ,
The "I'm a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude" line has been remixed into a pretty great song. Worth checking out!
i also loved that Tom Cruise as Lester Grossman did MTV commercials with Robert Pattinson
Y’all damn near killed me during that scene with the kid stabbing him in the back 😂😂
LOL, did George seriously just say "alright alright alright" after watching a Matthew Mac movies and not pick that low hanging fruit? Masterful!
There are a lot of funny comedies that can make a person laugh. But there's a handful of movies out there that are so funny that they have you laughing so hard your stomach hurts. And this is one of them. I would venture to say that hangover is another good example and also Dumb and Dumber. Jim Carrey has an underrated movie called Me Myself and Irene that has a few moments in it that have me laughing so hard it make the whole movie worth it, and it's a good movie all around already
Just noticed the headline in the beginning that said the Pope blessed Les Grossman.
Not hard to imagine why this was my favorite movie as a high school senior when it came out
Fantastic reaction. Much of this movie is parodying/paying homage to classic Vietnam movies, primarily: Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter and Platoon. Happy to see you got the reference to Dog Day Afternoon! I didn't realize you guys had seen that one!
My 2nd favorite comedy of all time. 1st being Airplane. That being said, my favorite comedy of this century.
I LOVE how you mentioned THE Shallan Devar from Stormlight when RDJ was talking about being nobody! Such a cool and unexpected reference
I still lose it everytime RDJ says, "That word.. has been bringing us down for 400 years." And Pachino's face
*mouths* "WHAT THE FUCK?"
Possibly the single funniest thing made in my lifetime. No one is prepared for just how hilarious this movie is.
My favorite RDJ movie is Natural Born Killers(1994). Written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Oliver Stone. Also starring Woody Harrelson and Tommy Lee Jones.
Man this movie could probably not be made anymore. It's so brilliant.
This might be my favorite reaction of yours. Great work!
Watching Simone entertaining herself is wildly entertaining for us also. 🤗
Both of your reactions made the movie even funnier. Thanks for the great time!
Simone's visible confusion when George doesn't recognize Lance Bass was such a great moment.
He did say he looked like a Lance, so maybe he recognized him subconsciously...
The same procedure that Kirk Lazarus used was used by the actress that played "Vasquez" in Aliens.
