Tom Cruise in the Tropic Thunder

This is the best scene with Tom Cruise as Les Grossman in the comedy hit "Tropic Thunder".
You will watch here the best quotes, such as "I will f*ck you up!", "The universe is talking to us right now. You just gotta listen" or "Playa, playa. Bick dick playa!".
Of course there's also Tom's famous dance to music song "Low".
It's just fabulous and hilarous.
ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO UNIVERSAL.

THANK YOU UNIVERSAL FOR NOT DELETING THIS. I JUST LOVE THIS MOVIE AND I WANT TO PEOPLE SEE THAT BY THIS SCENE.

@@davidusa47 That's literally the best moment in the movie. That was the best comedic moment, that shift and him asking again the specifics with a perfect delivery, kind of driving home the point that he is already agreeing, while until that moment it seemed like he was strongly not onboard. But they sort of invite him on board, on board of a G5.

It's also so very wrong because white dwarfs are actually remnants of stars that did not have enough mass to collapse into a black hole or a neutron star. All of this makes Grossman even more of a silly character and I love it.

Kung-Fu Panda also came out the same year, and Jack Black was basically only known for House of Rock. This was before Interstellar, so Matthew McConaughey was really only known for Sahara and other smaller films like Contact. Bill Hader was only known to people familiar with SNL, but even then, this was before his (arguably) most popular sketch, The Californians. With exception to Tom Cruise, Ben Stiller was probably the most famous actor at the time of this movie's release. Basically Ben was really good at networking and just happened to get a bunch of talented actors together before they achieved massive success with other franchises and movies.

@@aaravjohri5166 the line is referring to an age-old stigma, used by governments whenever dealing with acts of terror “we don’t negotiate with terrorists.” But in this context what Les Grossman is saying is, “we don’t negotiate with terrorists, because we want to make a lot of money because your friend will die.” Essentially turning the phrase on its head

[@BlackDiamond2718]

[@eliroth9978]

Tom Cruise was actually approached to play the lead, but he was too busy during the early production so the main lead role went to the director Ben Stiller. Tom did read the script however and suggested they add the character of Les Grossman to add more tension to the film. Later on, Cruise was able to free some time up on his schedule and at that point, the only character who wasnt cast was Les Grossman. So Cruise happily took the role.

[@kylev.1163]
