@@kindofabigdeal7284I enjoy people reacting to this movie quite a bit and so far not one person (no matter what skin colour) was offended by that character - quite on the contrary, he's many people's favourite part of the movie. :) Well, SOME light skinned people have a second or two where you see them thinking "OMG, can I laugh about this?", while dark skinned reviewers go in laughing out loud from the beginning. And that is an observation I find a little funny in itself ^^. Everybody quickly gets that he's not making fun of dark skin (the way "classic" black face was used more often than not), but this is supposed to be an actor who takes his job WAY too far. I think they're called "method actors"? And sometimes you hear stories about some being WAY too much into their characters, like with the one who played the joker in the first Suicide Squad. The makeup itself is pretty damned impressive - hats off to the makeup people working on DowneyJr - and you really can forget you're watching a white guy in makeup, the acting completes the picture. :)

Without this Movie we don’t have the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Downey had been in jail previous to Tropic Thunder. Jon Favreau contacted Ben Stiller about RDJr’s work ethic on Tropic to help decide if Downey was stable enough for Ironman. Ben told Jon he is a pro on set and had no issues. Jon hired him, made Ironman and changed Hollywood with that first Marvel film. Thanks to Tropic Thunder and Ben Stiller.

Tropic Thunder was released 5 months after Iron Man-principle photography began for Tropic Thunder in July of 2007. RDJ was cast as Iron Man in September 2006. So, unless Favreau had a time machine and travelled 11 months into the future, Stiller wouldn’t have known anything about how RDJ was on set prior to him being cast as Iron Man. In fact, I found this article in Variety where RDJ explains how he came to be cast in Tropic Thunder: “I was in pre-production for 'Iron Man,' he recalls of the serendipitous casting, "and a friend of mine said, 'Hey, Stiller's in town; you might want to give him a call.'” So, he was definitely cast as Iron Man before he was cast in Tropic Thunder.

Every time I see the Director get punched by the dude with the key grip I go "god DAMN!"

“Sophie cmon they’re ACTORS” 😂😂😂🤣💀

I love Jon Voight's cameo where he's mad that he lost the Oscar to Tugg

Robert Downey Jr. was actually nominated for an Oscar for this movie. No JOKE.

Back when awards weren't infected with affirmative action and DEI agendas.. ..RDJ, the darling of the MCU, would be canceled in 5 minutes if this was made today..

The kid getting thrown always make me fall out of my chair laughing

“for 400 years…..” 🤣🤣🤣 ☠️

This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. But my absolute favorite is KISS KISS BANG BANG. I highly recommend it. RDJ is in it with Val Kilmer and it's amazing.

Cockburn the director stepped on a "dormant" landmine mere seconds after calling himself God, and he went boom.

got to throw in a Christine joke as well LOL

"Are those his real muscles?" Yes. That's part of the joke of the film. Stiller's character genuinely tries the hardest, and is only as crazy as everyone else because his career is on fire at the moment. His muscles are real, his stunts are real, and his inability to cry on command is supposed to be like seeing a baseball player with the yips.

So much of this comedy went right over their heads lol

You ain't never lied. LOL. I'll be honest from hearing their comments to certain parts of the movie it doest seem like they watched the entire movie. It was like they skimmed through it almost.

He’s a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude! Hahaha. It’s just so outrageous - the baby flying through the air…hahaha. When Mair fell off his chair…hahaha.

I've seen a lot of Tropic Thunder reactions but your reaction is pure gold

Black face makeup has never been a more funny reaction hahahah ❤️❤️❤️

It's not even real blackface, because you can actually believe they're black.

You had the same realization as the entire movie theater did…Yes that is Tom cruise. When I saw this the entire place realized it at the same time and was like “Nooo way” lol Also Robert Downey Jr. is a legend for taking that role, he was actually pretty scared to do it but went out on a limb for it lol.

The director stepped on a land mine. That’s why he got blown up.

That red phone is a satellite phone that can be used anywhere

Y'all...I have not belly laughed that hard in a long time.😂😂😂 your reaction is priceless

Ben Stiller has always been in phenomenal shape.

I see Tropic Thunder, I click! 🤣😂😂😂 LETS GOOOO!! 👍😎👍

Simple jack makes me muh muh happy

"I was 8 years old when this came out"... and all of us old farts are crying now.

Mair you are the first person ive seen acknowledge the true brilliance of the "any tips??" gag from RDJ. Subbed.

22:18 I'm so glad you're not offended by RDJ's casting. However, as an Australian, I'm offended that they couldn't cast an Australian actor to portray an Australian actor. 😤

I love what they did with RDJ's character because a studio would 100% rather do a "blackface loophole" with an academy award winner rather than a POC. Hence Alpa Chino's "they had one good role in here for a black man and they gave it to crocodile Dundee."

Ben stiller directed this and is actually a really good director. He directed 6 episodes of severance. Great show

Yeah. Severance is dope.

When I saw your reaction to Tugman throwing the kid off the bridge I lost it. LOL

This is a satire which is different from a regular comedy. Satire critiques, while comedy often does seek to offend. It's a satirical comedy, critiguing the film industry, sort of disguised as a regular film 😂. All the references are pretty direct and/or inspired by certain actors, films, producers, directors, etc.

I saw this in the theater when it came out and the entire place was SCREAMING laughing 😂😂😂

This may have been mentioned but as he says in the film, RDJ Actually did the DVD commentary for this film IN CHARACTER (as the black guy) with Jack Black and Ben. Its hilarious!

This entire movie's pupose is behind the scenes of Hollywood. RDJs character is meant to make fun of actors who get way too into their characters, like the ones who have to "stay in character" the entire time they are filming a role. Or how executives (Tom Cruises character) know that when an actor reaches his peak, he is worth more in insurance money dead than during his decline and they make millions from a big actors death.

This movie summed up in a quote: "What is happening?" XD

38:33 I died when I saw that happen at the movies 😂😂😂

There have been points where people would actually try to cancel RDJ for "Doing blackface" but it was usually heavily disregarded by everybody because he did THAT good of a job playing his character. Its hilarious everytime it comes up

I think most of the people who complain about it haven't actually seen the movie because the entire point of the role is to make fun of actors who would think such a think was okay.

@patrickevans9604

And the complaints didn't get disregarded because of his acting skills. They got disregarded because the movie is a satire and tbh rdj isn't really doing blackface, it's the actor hrs playing doing blackface as rdj is clowning people that do it so they really had no way to justify the hate

I've never had so much fun watching two people watch a movie as I just had watching this.
