The commentary of this movie is hilarious. Downey stayed in character during the commentary, until he went into "Kirk Lazarus" mode, then he had an Australian accent, then he went into his regular voice when the credits came up. Jack Black was in tears, for that whole thing.
Thats sounds hilarious 🤣
It was funny, especially considering that Kirk in the movie says he stays in character until he's done the DVD commentary.
Now you brought it up, I HAVE TO watch that commentary!
I honestly want to buy the movie just so I could hear the whole commentary.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
Much of Less Grossman's character was Tom Cruise' own idea. He basically said: "I wanna have fat hands, and I want to dance"
The funniest part is, on a Joe Rogan podcast Jo asked RDJ if he caught slack for doing so called “black face” in Tropic Thunder and he said he was surprised because Ben Stiller was the one who caught all the negative attention from playing Simple Jack😂😂😂
Stiller: Tell people what happened here
RDJ: What happened here?
Stiller: I don't know but tell them.
I fucking died at that line.
Ironically, RDJ was nominated for an Oscar for his role in this movie.
Well deserved 👏
Wait... Exactly _which_ role earned him the nomination? 😜
@@Christof742 The role of the dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude.
@@IKtheTrollBest youtube comment of 2020 👍👍👍
Same with Tom cruise. He too was nominated for best supporting actor for Les Grossman
28:45 Hugh Jackman said it best:
"The Academy loves range.
"Kate Winslet is here tonight. In The Reader, Kate is an English woman who played a German woman: nominated.
"In Tropic Thunder, Robert Downey, Jr., ladies and gentlemen. Robert, who's an American, played an Australian playing an African American: nominated.
"Whereas me, I'm an Australian who played an Australian in a movie called Australia: hosting."
I forgot about that
I watched this opening night with my best friend. I had no idea what the movie was about other then RDJ was in it.
I Damn near passed out by how hard I was laughing. The theater was completely packed and there I was smack dab in the middle of the crowd crying and screaming with laughter. I was THAT person. It's still my favorite comedy.
Lmao. It had me smiling the whole time
@Miles Doyle hail Jesus!!! 🙋🙋🙋
This movie was Tom Cruise comeback.
I hope you have seen it but if not look up Ben Stiller as Tim Cruise stunt double..from MTV movie awards back in the day..they did a few. Quite funny
This is a very good candidate, but I think he made up for M:I 2 wonderfully by bringing in Philip Seymour Hoffman for M:I 3. The only reason 3 is not the best movie in the franchise is that Ghost Protocol came out, and it was the best movie in the franchise. Then Rogue Nation came out and it was the best movie in the franchise. Then... you get the idea.
@@TheSchaef47 once Simon Pegg joined the cast, they're got even better
@@piratetv1 That was 3. :)
@The Dan was he in Iron man?
Zoolander. Dodge Ball: A True Underdog Story. Both of these movies are quotable for days, and both are some of Ben Stiller's best work. He's made a bunch of movies like this, but Tropic Thunder was the pinnacle of his talents. He's been lower profile for a while now. But he doesn't have anything else to prove.
I hate Vince Vaughn movies. But I love Dodgeball.
Fred Claus isn't the worst, either.
Dodgeball is legit my favorite sports movie.
This was the first movie I saw Downey Jr. in and I had no clue what he looked like. Legit thought he was black until later in the movie. XD
same, they cut away and then all his make up is off, so i thought the joke was that it was two different actors
I dont care what nobody says ,this was one of the funniest f*cking war movies I haver seen. I laughed so hard during this movie, and even during the commentary!
What makes this funny is that RDJ, didn't do blackface. It was his character that did blackface. Fuckin Genius!
Alpa Chino's lover Lance was actually Lance Bass!! LOL!!
You got the point exactly right. It was a satire about how ridiculous the 'world of hollywood' is. The whole "American playing an Australian playing an African-American" thing was just that. Also, first time I watched it I had the same thing with Tom Cruise... I somehow just couldn't put a finger on who it was. Also, learning afterwards that when Ben Stiller asked Tom Cruise if he wanted to be a part of this movie, the only thing Tom Cruise said was.... "Sure, I'll do it, but I want fat hands and I want to dance". He actually took rnb dance classes just for this :')
''Wha' do you mean 'You People'?''
''What do YOU mean 'You People'?''
The levels of meta humour goin on here is deep.
"I peed and it smells like baloney for some reason"
"If you pee and it smells like baloney, you need some help"
I'm wheezing
I only noticed it was Tom when the credits started to roll.
Yeah I wasn't so aware of him the first time I saw the movie, was fooled the whole way.
I didn't notice it was him until the first time he turned his voice up to 11. Then I was like, holy crow, that's definitely him.
About the only way he could have made it more obvious is if he had a scene where he ran like a mile and a half at full sprint in one take. Through like a sandstorm or something.
Where's the "RDJ is my favourite african american actor" comment? :u
The first time I watched this movie I didn't realise that Les was Tom Cruise what the heck xD
It was Tom's voice that gave it away to me.
Me too ✋️ I dd not🤣😂🤣
Cable Guy is another Ben Stiller directed movie that stars Jim Carrey and Mathew Broderick. It's a dark comedy and way a head of its time.
I completely agree. I saw Cable Guy in the theater with friends, and when it was over I said, "That was a perfect movie." I stand by my statement.
WHAT?! I love Cable Guy, but had no idea Ben Stiller directed it.
@@Nekotaku_TV he's an underrated and talented director.
My favorite part:
Kirk: Pump your brakes kid, that man is a national treasure.
Yo pocari sweat is actually bomb
it's always nice to see someone who enjoys this movie with measured thoughts, without knee jerk reaction.
It actually annoys me how upset people were over Robert Downey Jr's character. He's obviously ridiculous and it's pointed out numerous times through the film how ridiculous this person is being
There isn't anything racist about this movie I was Robert d's Jr character for Halloween the year this movie came out nothing wrong
I haven’t found anyone that has been offended by it. The backlash was all made up
A lot of the war scenes are taken from Platoon. If not Jack Black the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have his role without acting. Tom Cruise is like Harvey Weinstein.
I laughed so hard when you said “bro you are not the United Nations” xD
Jamie Foxx made a comment about it on Joe Rogan's show and made a good point, its easy to point out racist things with celebrities and start the conversation of - was that okay? And the fact is, RDJ is a perfect actor its near impossible to say he made fun of black people since he acted like a black man so well. And its great Alpa Chino was there to f**k with him about it. BUT that does bring up the fact, if RDJ wasn't as good, the backlash would've been huge since another actor prolly would have f**ked up that role so bad.
Pandas rely primarily on spatial memory rather than visual memory. Though the panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been known to attack humans, presumably out of irritation rather than aggression. Even in captivity, where pandas are used to being cooed over by humans, they can be dangerous. In 2006, a drunken 28-year-old man by the name of Zhang clambered into the panda enclosure at Beijing Zoo and tried to pet the internee.
By the time RDJ starts stealing lines from Apocalypse Now... "I was a saucier" I was DYING
Cruise's character is also basically a perfect parody of Harvey Weinstein.
Minus the rape. Probably. Maybe.
Hopefully
@@Shichiaikan trying to parody that aspect of him would have been a real mood breaker, it was good for what it was, especially since he was still near the height of his power back then.
@@jamesm1 Oh, of course, I was just being a terrible person. :P
Or his Scientology buddy David Miscavige 😉
Please react to "Blazing Saddles".......if you haven't seen it.
I have it on my list. Ill be checking thats soon
definitely Blazing Saddles
Tarantino got his spurting fountain blood from 60's and 70's Japanese cult films called 'Pinky Violence'.
The part that always kills me is when RDJR was asking about the plan "spit that shit out son!!!" Cant keep a straight face, then goes right back into character. Lmao
"You don't know how to read a map? And you're leading people through the..."
Ha! If only you knew...
It's funny because I failed to recognize RDJ in this movie when I saw it when I was younger
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched and when you said “my man got palm trees for hands” I hit that sub button fast 😂😂😂
Yeah context is extremely important. "Blackface" was offensive because in the past contexts that this term refers to, people depicted black people in a intentionally negative and derogatory manner, this term and the controversy around it seems to somehow have been extended to any context in which a non black individual possess black makeup or face paint in any context with any intention, which makes absolutely no sense.
You missed the whole point. He's absolutely doing a blackface in this movie, he has black paint on and acting like a black man, aka blackface. That's the point of his role, to make fun of cardboard blackface characters in old movies. His blackface IS controversial within the movie, as it should be. The message of the movie is not that blackface can be ok in real life, it's exactly the opposite.
@@phishcatt woosh
@@Micolash_is_behind_you not at all. The thing is, Robert Downey Jr. isn’t doing blackface, Kirk Lazarus is. RDJ is playing a white Australian actor whose head is so far up his own ass that he thinks it’s cool for him to do blackface because he’s just that good. He’s a parody of all the Hollywood dumbasses.
@@gokuss15 woosh
The Akira Kurosawa films are a great choice. Be warned tho.... there are about 4 American classics are just remakes of his movies. You could say Kurosawa is the grandfather of American action movies lol.
Check out “12 Angry Men” (1957) for film appreciation. One of my all-time favs.
I will
@@oddnoobian1123 Oooooh it's a good
Tom Cruise also made that character. He said it would be great if there was a character representing the Hollywood producer. He said he'd want to have big hands, a fat suit and he wanted to dance. And he offered to play him
Your intro was actually dope I like that you can take someone disagreeing and fuck I forgot how funny this movie was 😂
the fact that you randomly reference monty python got you a sub from rip. i personally dont even like monty python but it shows that you enjoy a range of things so im here for it!
True to his word, RDJ did the dvd commentary in character 😆
You gotta see the film that made Tom Cruise famous, 'Risky Business' 1983. It's a comedy/drama.
Yojimbo and Seven Samurai are my favorite Kurasawa films. Both were remade as Westerns (Fistful of Dollars and Magnificent Seven). Rashoman and Ran are also excellent. Looking forward to seeing you tackle his filmography.
I watch a lot of movie reactions. Ive seen others do this movie before but flippin hell man, you had me rollin. Great content my guy
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!!
I'm super glad i stumbled on to your channel at 4 am lol :) love your energy and reactions!
Im happy you enjoyed it 😁
Dude... RDJ was nominated for Oscar for this act. It was so great! :D
BTW. I didn't know that there is Tom Cruise until I saw the end credits. :DDD
Maaaan, Pocari Sweat is delicious. Its almost like a grapefruit Gatorade. I was hesitant at first but finally tried it out after a night of drinkin
Gotta give a thumbs up for recognizing the connection between Booty Sweat and Pocari Sweat. Most people miss that. Pocari Sweat is a grapefruit flavored sports drink (like Gatorade) that got it's name due to some Japanese guy not really understanding English when he tried to find a name that reflected its purpose in replacing salts (electrolytes) lost via sweating during strenuous exercise. It's actually pretty good despite the name.
Yes, pandas are docile, they eat bamboo shoots, not meat. Perhaps tugg just PANICKED when he encountered it and what we see (when it really appears to be a bear, not a panda bear,) was what he THOUGHT he saw, in his panic:)
He wasn't bulshitting, the fake hooks, cover fake hands, that cover real hooks😂😂😂😂
Loved your reactions! To this day, every single black person I know who has seen this movie not only didn’t get mad at RDJ, they thought his role was the funniest thing ever. I mean RDJ is a white American, playing a white Australian, playing a black American, who at one point is playing an Asian farmer and speaking Mandarin (terribly) 😂
Robert Downey, Jr. turned me into a newt!
a newt?!?
@@Kammy-nh8vl - I got better.
@@brettg274 😂
"I'd watch this. It looks pretty cool. If this was a real movie I'd watch this."
... but it is a real movie
If you watch this movie with commentary RDJ is STILL in character lol
Look up the old school black face and show me the resemblance. This is no worse than white chicks which black people love. The old school version had huge lips and other very offensive parts of the look and were used for horrible reasons. Being able to separate "black face" from something like this shouldnt be that difficult for people but they all want to get upset about something. Then you have the fact historically, actors of all kinds have played many characters different from who they are whether it be the opposite gender (men AND women) or race. And its certainly not just white people. Whether its this country or other countries around the world.
I think the difference is that this movie is more about "whitewahing" than actual blackface. Its all about intent and context. This movie ultimately is saying that whitewashing is not ok through comedy and satire. And your right about other cultures like Japanese Kabuki is all male so they tend to stay true to that tradition. The world is more sensitive to these subjects now than we used to be for better or worse. This movie or White Chicks probably couldn't be made in todays social climate.
@@oddnoobian1123 Talking about whitewashing, isn't is interesting then, if casting for someone like Ariel, a white mermaid is now going to be a black mermaid is praised by a lot of media for diversity, and not considered wrong? And speaking of the little mermaid and that red hair, have you seen how many white, red headed characters have been replaced by blacks? Considering the number of red heads to begin with, it's fairly substantial. And when you bring these questions up with people on the praising diversity side, something they often say "it's not a real person so it doesn't matter." Ok, Black Panther isn't real so if he was white in the next movie there's no problem? You know people would not accept that. And when it is a real person, Anne Boleyn, 2nd wife of Henry VIII, who is in a period film being portrayed by a black woman, what then? I wish we had consistency. If whitewashing is wrong, then blackwashing is wrong etc...
Anyway, Tropic Thunder is a great movie and I'm happy you liked it, cheers.
@@AAAbatterye2 I agree that both ways are wrong but your example of Black Panther doesn't work because he is rooting in being a Black African man. I think Ariel was originally green in the fairy tail, I may be wrong in that, but she is not rooted in being white. If portraying a person that was white irl then they should be played by a white actor and if they were black the actor should be black. This goes for any other race as well imo. Everyone deserves fair and equal representation on the big screen. fictional characters have more wriggle room imo, besides when the race is a part of the character ie, Luke Cage, Black Panther, Storm, Peter Parker, Superman. I prefer them to create different characters than to change existing ones races but that's just me.
I hope you enjoyed the reaction and I appreciate the civil conversation, its rare these days, especially about these topics lol.
@@oddnoobian1123 Thanks for the reply, Also I found it interesting you said BP is rooted in 3 things, Black, African and a man, where as for Ariel you only said she's not rooted in being White, instead of saying she's an Atlantican, Seafolk, woman or something. And no she's not green, described in the book as having blue eyes, and white skin as clear and soft as a rose petal, surprisingly no red hair though, that's a Disney thing apparently. Also you mentioned race as part of the character and said Peter and Clark but how is being White at all important for being who they are? Dreams, morals, motivations, interests, etc.. where does the I'm White therefore this come into play? I really want to know that perspective because I don't see it. Just like I honestly don't see it for Black Panther either. He could be the adopted one instead of his brother, be any color, still have the same family, raised the same, be the same man he is. He'd still be culturally African, or Wakandan specifically, royalty, athlete, physicist, leader, that's where the character is.
@@AAAbatterye2 I understand what you mean. Yes, there are other traits that make the characters what they are but from what I understand the intention of black panther's creation was for him to be a Black superhero. He obviously stands for more things than just his skin color but he was created with his skin color in mind. Clark was created in a time where there were no black superheroes that I know of. If they wanted to make a black superman he shouldn't be Clark he should be a different character with similar powers, the same way they did Miles for Spiderman.
RDJ was amazing
the nervous boy quote is the best
"That guy sounds like Tom Cruise".....LOL! Yeah, kinda!😛😁
Man I don’t drop character until the DVD commentary is over
Pocari sweat is soooo good. Great energy drink
It aint an energy drink, it's for when you sweat a lot. Like a sports drink.
To borrow, and paraphrase, a line from the movie:
“Downey Jr should have got Oscar”
Since Pandas are constantly chewing on bamboo all day, they can have a pretty mean bite. Yes, they are vicious.
Liking the work man, keep it up!
Thanks man
Robert Downey, Jr.’s best role ever! He was brilliant!
Great reaction! Really funny!
Downey really outdid himself in that movie. That standard of acting should be some kind of beacon for every actor and actress to reach.
3:29 Don't worry, Pocari Sweat is just water...
Cable guy was also Benjamin Stiller's movie
RDJ. Is a method actor and that played into his character.
Just found your channel and love it so far! Especially the FMA. Are you planning on doing Encanto or nostalgic movies? Those are always hilarious and interesting seeing from an adults perspective.
Panda can mess you up.. they look cute and they ARE cute and non dangerous when they’re small .. they’re still a bear type creature tho! But the scene was wayyy over the top!
Wow. First time viewer here. I really dig your style. New subscriber.
😊 thanks. Im glad you enjoyed it
Can’t wait to see other reactions.
If you like Tropic Thunder, you should watch Dodgeball. Another great Ben Stiller comedy.
New sub. Enjoyed this a lot.
"if i didnt know that was rdj i wouldnt know that was rdk" has got to be one of the funniest things ever said
Not going to lie when I first saw this movie when I was younger I swore I thought that they were two different actors that Robert Downey Jr and the Black version of him were two separate people... That just shows how well they did the prospects the makeup and how well he acts with a whole damn new voice and everything
Cruise channeling Harvey Weinstein
Great reaction.
wasn't that the actual Lance dude from NSync lol
LOL yeah, that was Lance Bass.
“Survive!” “Survive what?” I absolutely loved this reaction, it was very fun and enjoyable to watch! I subscribed right away! I also suggest the movie ‘Top Gun’ as it seems like something you might enjoy! State safe :)
You also have a very nice laugh and smile it was fun to watch! Made me smile!
As an autistic person I actually find the whole ‘retard’ scene hilarious lmao
Ben Stiller also directed “mystery men”which is also amazing.
Dope hat bro!!
The big criticism of this movie (as I recall) was over the 'Simple Jack' theme. They skewered SO many Hollywood tropes, maybe folks just got overloaded.
I saw this in the theater & coming after the REAL ads & previews, the opening of this movie was the first brilliant satire. It took a while before the audience realized they were watching the actual movie.
This may be my favorite 'Hollywood being self-aware' comedy ever. No wonder they got so many A-listers to take even minor parts.
Whatcha doin Jeff? Nothing man, I'm eatin fuckin jelly beans 😂😂
Good ups on going to Kurosawa. Slower paced films, but perfectly made.
Have you considered ending that run with the Western remakes?
Seven Samurai (1954) = The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Yojimbo (1961) = A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
I was thinking of doing westerns in general at some point and both of these where ones I was considering. I've seen the most recent Magnificent Seven with Denzel but I'll probably watch the original one for the channel.
After watching this movie multiple times, the most recent funny line that’s a backwards complement. Jack Black to Ben Stiller: Scorcher 1 was great, c’mon let’s go.
Ruffin physically assaulted my goddess Tammi Terrell. There is nothing good about him. Dennis Wilson is the lead of Ball of Confusion with Eddie Kendrick hitting those high notes in the back.
how did RDJ not win an oscar for this?
because Health Ledger got it :)
What are your thoughts about White Chicks? I was not offended at that and this is satire....people need to chill out.
I love White Chicks 😆. I watched that the other day actually
Your name is Jon why would you be offended by someone pretending to be a girl
@@Jiff321 Wtf?!
That's a false equivalence, why would you be offended at white chicks? The Wayans Brothers haven't made a habit out of stealing white actors roles, and white face doesn't have the same history of marginalization that black face does. It's nowhere near as offensive. RDJ pulled it off, but black face is not okay. White face doesn't carry the same punch, by any means because it wasn't used as a tool to hurt people for so many years.
@@sfodd1979 I wasn't offended at White Chicks, that is the point, comedy is comedy. Just as Tropic Thunder was a comedy showing the craziness of method actors and the lengths taken - pigment treatment - for the role. Neither movie has anything to do with the traditional use of Black face.
The blackface wasn't about blackface. It was about actors that lose themselves in thier role and tell people to call them by thier character name while filming.
But specifically, it was about a guy doing that in blackface. And playing it completely straight.
They have a whole ass conversation in the film about how even method acting and being 100% accurate still doesn’t mean the same thing as a black guy saying or doing things, and that because of the fucked up representation the other actor felt like he had to represent an actual black man somewhere in the film...but sure it was just about acting and not about blackface. What.
I like your take on the black face thing and overall your reaction to the movie.
I honestly don't think the message from RDJ's part is that blackface is fucked up. I think it has more to do with hiring the best person for a role no matter the color. I can't really think of a person that would have played his part better lol.
Maximum Overdrive. Steven King directed with AC/DC soundtrack.
Lance is from NSYNC, just to add some info
Yoooo where can one find that hat tho 👀 I needs one of my own!
Knight and day is an action comedy with tom cruise and cameron diaz
Panda's can be viscous sometimes depending on food and territory but most of the time they are very lazy and docile.
Stiller wrote that shit too
To answer your question about Pandas, they are a bear lol so yes they are cute but they will still fuck you up.
