The fact that at some point in the movie, Robert Downey Jr, an American actor, played the role of an Australian method actor, playing the role of an African-American soldier, disguised as a Vietnamese farmer... SHOLD NOT BE FORGETTEN. There's no question that had it not been for Heath Ledger's amazing Joker, RDJ would've won the Oscar for best supporting actor that year. Personally, my favorite comedic performance of all time.

As a black man I 100% support Tropic Thunder and love this movie. Robert Downey Jr was hilarious in his role and is playing a white blonde hair blue eyed Australian actor who thinks it’s ok to do black face. Totally different than casting a white actor in a black role, or a white actor trying to pass as black. We know the character is white and are introduced to him as white. The comedy is that he thinks it’s ok because he’s a crazy idiotic actor and wants to dive into a role and Jr plays it perfectly. Definitely deserved his Oscar nom.

And he looked at me; he was like, what? I remember Ben and [saying] 'No, no. Ben. I want fat hands. And I'm gonna dance.' He said, 'Look, are you sure? Why don't you just be you.' I said, 'No, no, no. I'm sorry man. I don't know how else to play this character.' So then I did the makeup test and we tested the fat hands and the whole look. So, we were doing the wardrobe and there was no music and I was just like, 'Look, I want to do some moves for you.' So I just started working on Les. He picked the music out, he edited it together, he was just pissing himself."

He played it smart and stuck with smaller semi independent movies and then Iron Man came along and he was a star again but this time even bigger getting nominated for an Oscar for this movie.

But then again, it's so obvious that it was his voice, mannerisms and facial features. Kinda unbelievable that many of us didn't recognize him. But yea, surprised to see this movie being reacted to.

I believe Ben Stiller decided the movie based on actors claiming that going to the actor's Boot Camp was the same as regular Boot Camp. He had ideas concerning actors having PTSD flashbacks to remember that they didn't have catering. This is also one of the best parodies to be made in... forever. And Robert Downey, Jr. was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Tropic Thunder. He lost to Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight.

You should watch A Fish Called Wanda, one of the funniest films I've ever seen, and a rare case of an actor actually winning an Oscar for a purely comedic role.

I always saw the characters as: Tugg- the action star who wants to be serious, but doesn't really know how. When he tries, it's a miss Kirk- the method actor who believes they can play ANY character (no matter race, gender, sexuality) without repercussions Jeff- the comedian who wants to be taken seriously, but isn't because he's supposed to be the "funny man" Alpha- the musician/rapper who's trying to get into acting, could also be there to promote something of his/her's Kevin- the wide-eyed newbie actor who's excited to be in Hollywood and does everything right (reads the script, learns the history, etc.), but realizes that the more seasoned actors don't do the same It's a really interesting take on how Hollywood is while also making fun of them too. The whole cancel culture thing that happened earlier this year was really stupid and shows how most of my generation (gen-z) looks for things to be mad at without really looking at the whole picture.

Lately the most memorable thing about this movie is some guy tweeting that he scoured the internet looking for an apology from RDJ and was appalled that he hadn't for doing "black face". Makes me love the movie even more.

Danny Devito callsigns I LOVE how you do that I swear its gold.

I remember going to go see The Dark Knight for the 3rd time and my brother saying to watch Tropic Thunder instead. I’m glad we decided to see it. Everyone in the theater was laughing so hard. One of the best theater experiences, I’ve ever had.

You should react to “This Is The End”

I wonder if Brandon has ever watched any of these classic war movies.

RDJ's "👁👄👁 sURvIvE!" cracks me up every time.

Search up some Tom Cruise interviews about this movie. Ben sent the script to him just to get his feedback about it. Tom came up with the entire story line of his character. He said the producer role was missing from the story. He came up with the idea for the fat hands, bald head and dancing. Very creative!

When Ben stiller came to talk to Tom cruise about his role Tom was like I’m down but I want fat hands and I want to dance lol there is an interview of him talking about it pretty hilarious

Such a fun movie..Glad you’re doing this You also need to watch Apocalypse Now & Platoon now. So many inside jokes referencing those movies here..

Thank you for watching this! Ive been googling reactions for it every few months since forever. And at last I found you. And damn, you''re one of the best reactors I've seen! Keep it up!

This might be my favorite reaction of yours so far. My cousins and I used to have the whole movie memorized as kids we loved this movie so much

Such a good movie

I suggest you watch sherlock holmes. RDJ's acting there was great too.

Fake Black Man: What do ya mean, "you people?" Real Black Man: What do YOU mean, "you people?" Gotta love this movie for its balls in handling such delicate topics! There's no subtlety, but at the same time, it's not insensitive to the real issue. RDJ is playing an actor who is a racially-insensitive asshole and it doesn't sugarcoat that. He's a fancy-pants knobend who thinks his acting career allows him to fuck with racial stereotypes and that's why its so fucking hilarious. We're supposed to laugh at him, not with him.

“I’m a lead farmer, motherfucker!” absolutely killed me the first time I saw this movie.

This movie is golden, its timeless and can never be canceled.

RDJ actually does the DVD commentary in character. It's hilarious!

This is probably my favorite Stiller movie. You said that this movie couldn't be made today, but Downey took a lot of heat for a while back then. There are one or two KZread vids where he gets interviewed about it. This came as a total surprise when I opened KZread. So happy to see you delve into comedy. I would suggest Airplane! or The Blues Brothers.

Haven’t seen this in forever I’m watching it tomorrow! Great video! Love your takes on these movies

True story: there was a guy who dated a friend's sister, we always tolerated him during the length of that relationship, but he was a dumb jock who appreciated sophomoric humor a little too much. After they saw this at the theater, he kept saying tropic thunder was stupid (he wasn't clever enough to get it), but couldnt stop talking about the trailer for the new jack black movie he wanted to see. Became an inside joke for years.

I'm excited for/jealous of you for getting to watch this for the first time now. It's one of my favorites for so many reasons. It's enjoyable on more levels than almost any other movie that I can remember. Love your reactions, keep it up.

Great reaction bro. You make this movie more fun to watch along with
