@@jerodast In the beginning of the commentary, it's briefly acknowledged that he's RDJ but he stays in the black guy persona for most of it. He still refers to Ben Stiller and Jack Black by their real names. So, actually plays Kirk Lazarus who critiques his own work as Osiris while still in-character while he still knows he's RDJ. And when the character goes back to Australian, RDJ switches to that, and then he goes to full RDJ near the end. Layers upon layers.

I consider this up there with Blazing Saddles as one of the all time great Parody/satire films. Blazing Saddles critiqued and shed a light on the Racism of old West and distinct lack of Black Cowboys despite history showing that black people were a major part of the old west. While Tropic Thunder Criticized the Hollywood industry on nearly every level. As a black person,I never want to hear about RDJ having to apologize for this role. Any smart black person with a sense of humor sees what his role is Satirizing in Hollywood today with how they go about casting race and the glory seeking Pretentious Actors trying to win awards all the time. Tugg Speedman is the Arnolds/Stallone of the industry. Let me tell you when me and my brothers watched this for the first time we hadn't seen a trailer for it/or a single ad outside of a poster of it at our local Theater. When we saw the booty sweat ad and the following commercials we immediately knew we were in for something good. This might be Tom Cruise's most underrated role. Despite how goofy Les grossman is as a character,the fact is he is the Bob Iger/Kevin Fieges/ the Producers of the Industry who oversee all the money and rewards of these films when they get made. And word is Tom is planning on doing a Les Grossman Spin off film.

"... distint lack of Black Cowboys despite history showing that black people were a major part of the old west." When it is said with genuine truth in a genuine context warranting it, no issue. But when it's slathered in disingenuous revisionism, that's when we dive into the cesspool of ESG/DEI cultist crap. The Old West? It's a tale of white folks bulldozing over Natives. All that revisionism about the "major role" of Chinese, Spanish, or other ethnicities having entertaining and inspiring tall tale to tell? Spare me. They were about as significant as a speck of dust on a horse's ass. Yeah, sure, there are a few scattered tales and they are worth telling - ought to be told, but don't stretch it to claim they were 'major' part of the Wild West. They were side acts at best, not the headline. Trying to cram them into the spotlight just to meet some diversity checklist? Ridiculous. They were there, but 99% of the time, they were background noise, not the main event. And guess what, Wild West movies, the ones that are loved and that are the most entertaining, are the ones involving Cowboys duels, gang wars, Natives vs White Skins, legendary quick-draws, because these are the predominant and most notorious narratives and reality of these times. And it will never change. Because history, real history, is set. For eternity.

"Man, I don't drop character 'till I done the DVD commentary." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Brandon Soo Hoo and Sandra Valladares. Cameos Cameos Fact: Tobey Maguire, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Lance Bass, Jon Voight, and Jason Bateman play fictional versions of themselves. Method Actor Fact: When recording the audio commentary for the Unrated DVD and Blu-ray, Robert Downey, Jr. actually spends the entire commentary as 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.

If you ask me this is without a doubt one of the greatest comedies ever made. Probably the funniest and most rewatchable movie I've ever seen. There is so much I love about this movie but one of the things I find most remarkable about it is the performances of Tom Cruise and (obviously) Robert Downey Jr. Everybody who has seen the movie will tell you how hilarious both Tom Cruise and especially Robert Downey Jr were but I don't think that fully does it justice. You have 2 actors who are highly renowned and respected/lauded for being among the best DRAMATIC actors of their generation (I've always considered Tom Cruise extremely overrated and a relatively shitty actor but thats besides the point) but in my opinion they both give the greatest performance of their careers in Tropic Thunder. Critics and the film industry as a whole have never taken comedic performances or comedies in general seriously so you more than likely won't hear many people saying/agreeing with this but I genuinely believe they've never given a better performance. I certainly understand if you disagree but if you find my assertion inherently ridiculous or impossible because of the genre then I urge you to try your best to question that bias and look at it more objectively. I've always tried to fight it and remain hopeful that things might change but due to the film industrys long held biases towards comedic performances and the genre as a whole unfortunately some of the greatest movies and performances of all time have never received the respect, recognition, or level of prestige they actually deserve. Tropic Thunder and especially those 2 performances are among the best examples/evidence that prove this to be the case... I think I'll watch it again tonight with someone new actually and its a guarantee that I will still greatly enjoy it. Lol Now I'm excited its crazy how much replay value this movie has.

Dead ass, Tropic Thunder is one of the most underrated movie ever created. It was not controversial, it was what comedy was. Teasing things that everyone thought about and exposed it in ways to make everyone laugh.

I have a theory that the whole full rtard bit was a subtle shot at Leo. If you've seen What's Eating Gilbert Grape and you know his history with the Academy, you'll get it. It's very funny regardless of who finds it offensive, but I think it's even funnier to me than it is to most people.
@jerodast6 ай бұрын
Oh man I forgot about that. The thing is all the reviews I read about _WEGG_ talk about Leo doing a great job. I think more of _I Am Sam_ as just a recent movie shortly before _Tropic Thunder_ that just nobody had any respect for.

I think it was a parody of Ben's own audition tape for Forrest Gump, but he overdid it and Tom Hanks got the role.
@christopherschreiber58056 ай бұрын
The full rtard theory had already been well established in Hollywood. Sean Penn is a fantastic actor, but too well known to do that without it coming off as extremely offensive. A lot of people think Leo tried to sidestep that bc it was his breakout role, and the Academy has been making him pay for it ever since. Personally, I think he maybe got a little bit lost in the method lol. But he was amazing in Gilbert Grape. The only time I've ever been really blown away by him tbh.

Man, I gotta say, you're reaction is really cool! Others have posted about watching the DVD commentary, and they're correct about it. Another funny commentary is on the Roadhouse movie(I believe it's a special edition) that has Kevin Smith do a guest commentary.

They didn't show Tom Cruise in the trailer. So most people in the cinema didn't know he was in it. And most people didn't recognize him. You could hear people gasping and saying "oh my god" when his name popped up at the end credits 😂😂

I was surprised people didn't recognize him. He did have a lot of makeup to change his look but his voice is very distinctive. He was having so much fun. I wish he did more villains. This role and Vincent from Collateral are great.

It's one of those movies that gets funnier the more times you see it. And the stuff behind the scenes makes it even that much better. RDJ was still Hollywood's black sheep when they made this - and at the same time, a little indie movie called "Ironman" (I can't remember which was first). And he absolutely killed both roles. Probably shoulda got an award for both, but the academy and Film Actors Guild only like movies you can't understand or that make you feel like shit...

Best comedy EEVAAR! Plus, love the "I'm a rooster illusion" - "Fuck it! We'll deal with him later"... That is so more realistic than a ton of "realistic" movies where characters are wasting time trying to get a person back through talking, instead of just dragging them to safety.
