@@ghfudrs93uuu yeah, that's a great role. Why does he not want to commit to shit like that?! It drives me insane. He has the potential to be a great lead. He had the humor and dexterity to make it, full circle. And yet, after this film, the thing I most enjoyed from him was 'Edge of Tomorrow', which is a great fucking movie, but come on man! Break out of your Mission Impossible franchise and give us that great performance. The one for the ages.

Matthew McConaughey's character is one of the most underrated performances in the film. He is the perfect stereotype of a successful Hollywood agent. When he gets so hung up on the fact that Ben Stiller didn't get his Tevo. When Flaming Dragon calls and he immediately thinks its another agency that Stiller has signed with and fired him because Stiller is his main source of income, and of course when he takes so much time to decide to save Stiller instead of letting Grossmen buy him a private jet. Its just perfect!

There aren't too many roles where Tom Cruise plays a complete character. Usually he's just "Tom as..." but this is one of those rarities where he crafts an entire character and inhabits him totally. One of his most genius performances.

They missed their chance to make a Les Grossman movie it'd never be made today just like Tropic Thunder itself never would be. Comedy is over because of how offended pathetic people get at literally anything. Lines like "I'm gonna rip your tits off" would cause a firestorm these days. If they were gonna make a Les Grossman spin off it had to have been done by around 2012-2013. Such a massive shame.

These guys would be Burmese. The movie is actually super legit on this. There are several ethnic minority Burmese groups in Shan State who have been running heroin rackets for decades. They are sometimes hostile to the Burmese government, but the Burmese government also pits them against each other and they are heavily armed. After the Chinese civil war, the Chinese nationalists put 10,000 troops in Burma on the Chinese border. They stayed for ten years and funded themselves with drug money. Though withdrawn in 1959, not all of the troops went. Some stayed behind and became a sort of aristocracy in the drug trade. The Wa people, the Palaungs, some Shan groups, are Burmese, but they primarily speak Mandarin. So in Tropic Thunder, when the guys get taken by a Mandarin speaking drug cartel somewhere on the border of Burma, Thailand, Vietnam.... That is actually legit.

Tropic Thunder is one of the funniest movies ever. We can all thank Ben Stiller for putting this movie together. He also directed it. He didn't put it together by himself of course, but had a huge part in making it happen. Tom Cruise as Les Grossman is still legendary. He really showed his versatility as an actor with this role.
@markherring35132 жыл бұрын
The whole movie studio/movie producer angle was all Tom's idea. The original script did not have any movie studio/producer scenes or characters. Ben gave Tom the script to read and Tom read the script and Tom said "You're missing one element...the movie studio side of it"...Ben went back and rewrote the movie in a week and let Tom read it again...Tom really enjoyed the Les character and asked Ben if he could play it because he has a good idea on how Les should be....the rest is history.

The best part of Les Grossman is how little screen time he had. That's some amazing control. Perfectly crafted and executed character that wasn't overdone. Same goes for a lot of the characters in this movie. Give any of the characters their own movie, Les Grossman included, and it would overdo the appeal and take away from the original masterpiece.
