"I don't drop character till I've done the DVD commentary" RDJ literally did the DVD commentary in character too. Half of the movie was just RDJ just doing ad lips but Stiller kept them in because he couldn't stop laughing.
End of the award for most eclipsed character in a comedy goes to Bill Hader. It seriously baffles my mind how you put Robert Downey Jr who was obviously in the R-rated comedy Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Jack Black, Danny McBride, and Bill Hader in a film and they get eclipsed by Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey( mostly comedic actors including Ben himself, hell even McConaughey had a comedic role in a Bill Murray film where McConaughey played a crazy Texas truck driver)
Nice reaction video guys! Except you missed the fact that mcconaughey character took the G5 and used that to deliver TeVo to speedman. And if you look at the explotion of the bridge, the way Speedman takes the impact (changes direction midflight) is directly from Mission inpossible III. 😊
Thanks man! Oh damn you’re right 😂😂 didn’t even notice, what a friend. And yea I thought that explosion shot felt familiar, cool they grabbed it from MI I mean if Cruise is in the movie, you kinda have to!
That’s so sad when I hear people say they wouldn’t do a movie like this today…. How sad what we have become…Comedy has always served to make great commentary on our society, imagine erasing the topic yet there is racism and discrimination all around… fighting the wrong fight if we censor comedy…it’s actually going backwards than forward in my opinion.
The core spoof is on the making of Apocalypse Now, a production so legendarily messed-up that the lead actor (Martin Sheen) was hospitalized with a heart attack......
Didn’t break the 4th wall. Kirk Lazarus was playing Lincoln Osiris who was disguised as a Chinese Rice/Poppy farmer… RDJs attention to detail in this was uncanny!
I really enjoyed this reaction! Good editing, too. But I always find it funny when (especially younger*) people say this movie “COULDN’T be made” today. It’s pure satire, which I think modern audiences actually appreciate *more* From my own personal experience, circa 2008, lots of people still argued that describing things as “ret*rded” (or “gay”) was totally acceptable and just meant “lame/uncool.” 15 years later -aka today- it’s much easier to see how this movie was roasting the crap out of those people. The fact that RDJ, technically, does “blackface” is somewhat more complicated because most people were becoming hip to how uncool that type of thing is by the time the movie came out. But now that a white person using HEAVY makeup to portray someone of a different race is widely considered a no-no, it’s much easier to see his character as a send-up of method actors who go overboard and take themselves way too seriously. I think Tropic Thunder COULD be made today, but would likely fail for seeming too “obvious” (not because of the offensive content) *To me, anyone who doesn’t viscerally remember TiVo automatically qualifies as “younger”
Yeah it’s a shame we can’t see more stuff like this nowadays, it is satire like you said. Just a shame some can’t take comedy and jokes for what they are. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Thank you! And appreciate the editing shout I try my best 😅 I love the satirical nature of the film and I agree it COULD be made today but like you said wouldn’t do well. But who knows with a star studded cast and a clear message maybe something like that would be interesting to see. Thanks for the awesome comment and for watching! PS I have no idea what TiVo is and never heard of it until I saw this haha
@@ItzWilson2 It COULD be done only in theory, and by an unknown independent company, censored by every possible woke media outlet in the US, which is a majority, $hat on by the woke critics, the makers attacked from all sorts of places, actors CANCELLED, screeching blue haired maniacs rallying against it...and if the film managed to be released, against all odds - audience would love it. So it would be next to impossible to make it and release it today but it would in fact do VERY WELL.
Great reaction to this insane film. Some of my favorite films on the more “underrated” side for movie recommendations: Prisoners, Children of Men, AfterSun, Moonlight, No Country for Old Men, Good Times 2017, Blade Runner 2049 if you have seen the first one, Silence 2016, Nightcrawler, Doctor Sleep if you have seen The Shinning, Warrior 2011, The Martian, First Reformed, 12 Years a Slave, and V for Vendetta.
You guys are or went soft by editing a CHARACTERS' words. Def not gaining u subs. People should hear these words from time to time in conversation. Smh
![Are We Cringing Or Laughing? First Time Watching TROPIC THUNDER (2008) [REACTION] Movie Reaction](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/p6g3Lv_M-IU/mqdefault.jpg)
McConaughey's character took the money and the G5 (which he flew in to the filming location) AND saved his client's life. That's one helluva an agent.
I can’t believe I didn’t realize this while watching, one hell of an agent indeed 😂
That was supposed to be Owen Wilson from what I understand. Personal problems with Owen caused the change .
"I don't drop character till I've done the DVD commentary" RDJ literally did the DVD commentary in character too. Half of the movie was just RDJ just doing ad lips but Stiller kept them in because he couldn't stop laughing.
I heard ab the DVD stuff!! Maybe something I react to for fun down the line haha I'm not suprised he was unbearably funny
I always love reactions to this movie because it’s something you just can’t prepare for or expect 😂
Great vid, guys!
Thank you! Yea idk who comes up with movies like this 😂 they’re crazy
And the award for Best Child Yeet goes to... Tugg Speedman!

Bro I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time 😂😂
@@bemasaberwyn55 agreed. Tom completely stole the show. Mostly because he's not known for this type of comedy. It made it so much better.
Everyone has THE EXACT same reaction when Damian finds the mine
Couldn’t believe they did that 😂
Ben got one hell of a cast for that one. Good thing they were still able to release it, just before the world became too sensitive with comedy
Agreed, I’m glad I didn’t know much ab the cast other than Ben RDJ and Black, they were phenomenal 😂 I’m happy it exists for sure
Nice reaction video guys! Except you missed the fact that mcconaughey character took the G5 and used that to deliver TeVo to speedman. And if you look at the explotion of the bridge, the way Speedman takes the impact (changes direction midflight) is directly from Mission inpossible III. 😊

One of the best reactions to this movie I’ve seen, love the vibe you guys brought!
Thanks so much!! Appreciate you watching 😁
12:46 The world was never that complex until u brought that up. Daaaammmnnn. Never thought abt it LMAO
😂😂I was going through it

Completely agree with you, I just think in the reality we live in now a movie like this wouldn’t have legs unfortunately. I’d love to be wrong tho
The core spoof is on the making of Apocalypse Now, a production so legendarily messed-up that the lead actor (Martin Sheen) was hospitalized with a heart attack......
Oh damn I did not know ab that, makes so much sense after seeing this now haha appreciate the comment!
@@ItzWilson2 and still an amazing movie of course (there's a few different versions of the film, a la Blade Runner)
Short overview of the insane production hell that was Apocalypse Now:

Talladega Nights and Tropic Thunder will always be my favorite comedy movies.
Have not seen Talladega Nights but heard great things, and no surprise for this one. Thanks for watching!
You say that it could not be made now, but it was crazy it got made at the time too.
Oh absolutely, this movie at ANY time is insanity hahaha
Love the Willem Dafoe "Platoon" part at the end.
Great 4th wall break! "I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude!"
😂😂most self aware movie I’ve seen
Didn’t break the 4th wall. Kirk Lazarus was playing Lincoln Osiris who was disguised as a Chinese Rice/Poppy farmer… RDJs attention to detail in this was uncanny!
They're making fun of war movies you haven't seen like *(Platoon)* but *(Saving Private Ryan)* would be a great reaction video If you haven't seen
Yea I haven’t seen those haha what didn’t they make fun of in this movie 😂
@@ItzWilson2 yes they were making fun of overdramatic war movies. But *(Saving Private Ryan)* is not that way and would be a great reaction video
The movie Lies & Alibis 2006 is a cool Steve Coogan and Rebecca Romijn and several others that you will recognize.

@@ItzWilson2 excellent!!!
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
"If you can dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball."
On the DVD if you watch it with the commentary, Robert Downey Junior actually does stay in character during the commentary and it's hilarious
I heard about that I think I want to react to it 😂😂
I really enjoyed this reaction! Good editing, too.

I am onboard in this journey with you bros. epic.
F*ck Yea man!!! Welcome to the ride 🤝
Such a massive cast and so goddamn quotable
I had no idea the cast was THIS stacked
Filmed in hawaii they said that was the best set they've ever been on
Oh man I can only imagine
2008 was RDJ's year. A rebirth, with Iron Man, AND a blackface that even the black audience digs.
The fact those both came out in the same year is absolutely mind boggling 😂
This is literally the first time something I voted for won. I'm so excited.
Thanks so much for voting! Hope you enjoyed it :)
Great reaction! All I see these days are people worried about black face. Looks like you had real fun watching this.
Thanks man! We really did it’s a hell of a ride appreciate you watching!
Great movie
Agreed!
You skipped the best part-Les’s dance at the end and the credits.
Oh I saw it haha, I felt I used a lot of footage by the end so did not show much of it
Great reaction to this insane film.

Jeez man relax it’s for the YT monetization, they’ll remove it if there’s words like that in the video. Chill tf out I’ll be fine without ur sub
Millennials self censoring is style saddest thing ever.
Censoring is for TH-cam TOS my friend.
Who left the fridge open?
What? 😂
@@ItzWilson2Tugg Speedman in the Scorcher 6 promo. “Here we go again. Again.”

Great reaction fellas, this movie really is an all timer.
Thanks my man, yea I can see why!
