Tropic Thunder (2008) Wife's First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!

The entire cast did a superb job. Probably one of Ben Stiller's best movies. It should have won an Academy Award for Best Child Toss.

"I don't read the script. The script reads me." That was the best line in the film.

[@clockwork204]

Especially love RDJ's face a couple of lines after. I think he was trying so hard to not laugh and just looked weird so they kept it in the film.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

"I'm a dude (Neil Armstrong) playing a dude (Father O'Malley) disguised as another dude (Sgt. Lincoln Osiris)." Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.) has completely forgotten who he is... Kirk Lazarus was pulled from the refrigerator upon reentry to Earth's atmosphere and through his agent found he had to be a gay priest. Of course Neil Armstong lacked acting experience, but went for Immersive Acting, but without the ability to remember his lines he dropped that and let the script read him. Why not? He's a strong astronaut who usually succeeds at things, but Neil Armstrong found it was hard to lose the persona of being gay and not knowing how to be a black man chose the "Roots" character of Chicken George for his accent, but no doubt it was unnerving to see himself in the mirror when he heard he was scared of himself. Neil Armstrong probably found it hard to understand himself as a black man. You gotta give credit to Tugg Speedman for knowing how to crack his opponent during an argument.

[@BloodSportA2]

Tom Cruise as Les Grossman is almost like the comedy version of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter. He's in a few scenes tops and practically steals the movie in a cast where you can tell everyone is having a blast.

One of my favorite moments is a fleeting throwaway joke that nobody seems to notice. It's during the Academy Awards at the end where Jon Voight is hoping to win, and when he doesn't, he gives an angry, frustrated reaction. In real life, he's been nominated for an Oscar four times, but won only once, if that adds anything to the joke. Definitely do "There's Something About Mary."

[@beandean23]

Also, another fleeting throw away joke ( as far as I can tell) is the panda. Jack Black did Kung Fu Panda.

[@rickyressel9263]

The line where RDJ says “I don’t break character until the dvd commentary”. He literally stayed in character in the dvd commentary as Elija, until he changes to Lazarus. Then he finally goes back to being RDJ in the last 10 minutes of the commentary track.

[@SeenGod]

oh yeah Reign Of Fire is criminally underrated i love that movie 👍

[@davidanderson1639]

There’s actually a like between Tropic Thunder & Christian Bale. Stiller came up with the idea for the film, whilst he was on location for the production of Empire of The Sun. Bale played Jim & Stiller played Dainty in Empire of The Sun.

[@thetechsite9619]

Reign of Fire is much better than something based on that premise has the right to be.

[@davidanderson1639]

Fun Fact: Ben Stiller came up with the idea for Tropic Thunder whilst he was on location for the filming of Empire of The Sun. Empire of The Sun is based on JG Ballards semi autobiographical novel of the same name. The film tells the story of Jamie "Jim" Graham (Christian Bale), a young boy who goes from living with his wealthy British family in Shanghai to becoming a prisoner of war in a Japanese internment camp during World War II.

[@CJ87317]

Empire of the Sun is a criminally underrated film.

[@davidanderson1639]

@@CJ87317 100% It’s like Spielbergs forgotten WWII film; overshadowed by Saving Private Ryan. It struggled at the box office; earning $66m against a $25m budget. Christian Bale is incredible as Jim, in his screen debut. But the entire cast is just amazing. David Lean (The Bridge on The River Kwai) was originally going to direct it, with Spielberg as producer. But Lean dropped off the production after a year, handing the reigns over to Spielberg.

Ben Stiller has directed a few other movies besides Tropic Thunder...Reality Bites, The Cable Guy, Zoolander, Zoolander 2 & The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (The Secret Life is actually a remake of a 1947 movie starring Danny Kaye...I would LOVE if you reacted to the 1947 film & Stiller's 2013 film back to back...I think that would be great, so maybe you will add it to the schedule for an upcoming week!) Stiller also directed & starred in his own sketch comedy show in 1992 / 93...it only had 13 episodes & I think you both would have fun reacting to that tv show! And you mentioned There's Something About Mary...if you both haven't seen it, I definitely recommend you watch it...if you love the off-color humor of Tropic Thunder, you will also love TSAM!

Samantha’s face the whole way through! I tell ya, MY cheeks are hurting just from watching her react 😂 Here’s hoping a certain studio plays nice this time… Fun fact: the character of the agent was originally written for Owen Wilson, with whom Stiller had appeared in several other films. However, at the time of shooting Wilson was going through a lot of personal troubles and couldn’t do the film, so McConaughey stepped in at the last moment and did a stellar job. It’s quite interesting to watch the movie with that in mind - you can see places that seem designed for Owen Wilson!

[@Quixotic1018]

There was a sequel being planned that would center around the Tom Cruise character but it got shelved. hopefully one day it'll get made, or at least a movie with him doing something similar would be amazing.

The behind schedule, over budget production on location is in reference to the production issues of apocalypse now. Same with the big explosion scene without cameras rolling. Some of the dialogue of RDJ in the camp is reminiscent of apocalypse now also.

[@YouHaventSeenMeRight]

The "unrepeatable explosion without the camera rolling" bit was also in the Peter Sellers movie "The Party" from the 60's. I highly enjoyed that movie, though these days it could not be made because Sellers plays an accident magnet Indian actor.

I always wonder if the "I'm a rooster illusion." line in Tropic Thunder is a reference to Alice In Chains' song 'Rooster', which is a song about Jerry Cantrell's dad* in the Vietnam War.... 🤔 I'm sure you've heard the song 'Rooster' a hundred times, even if maybe you've never paid attention to the words. . But here: "Ain't found a way to kill me yet Eyes burn with stinging sweat Seems every path leads me to nowhere Wife and kids, household pet Army green was no safe bet The bullets scream to me from somewhere Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah, here come the rooster You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die" "Walkin' tall machine gun man They spit on me in my homeland Gloria sent me pictures of my boy Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath Oh god, please won't you help me make it through?" . Like it almost feels like Ben Stiller's character had it breakthrough realizing that he's playing this soldier part, but he's full of shit. Like he's just playing soldier like an idiot, realizing that actual soldiers actually went through this stuff. He's just a Rooster illusion. If it's not that, I have NO idea what it means. 🤷‍♂️ Seriously, what else could "I'm a rooster illusion" POSSIBLY mean? . *Jerry Cantrell Sr., whose childhood nickname was "Rooster"

[@DanielSSilva-616-]

For Ben Stiller movie there is Zoolander and Starksy & Hutch, those two are my favourite the latter being a comedy remake of sorts of an old cop tv show. For a movie with a somewhat similar premise I reccomend Bowfinger with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy.

Now regardless of how you feel about it, the overall point was to show how far some Method Actors would go for a role no matter how ridiculous it is.
