When i saw this in the theater, everyone was shocked when tom cruise's name popped up in the credits. For me, that was a highlight of the film. It was the first, and arguably, the only movie he played an unhinged, foul-mouthed character. So unexpected and refreshing.
@@derikk3215 I've had the experience, plenty of times, where I watched a movie and had a recurring, nagging thought someone reminded me of someone else, either because of their bone structure or their voice or their mannerisms. This was one of those cases where I brushed it off, like my brain had cried wolf too often, where I was like, "Man, this new guy really sounds like Tom Cruise!" but didn't want to commit to it mentally 🤣
"I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude!" Robert Downey Jr was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie.
And when Cuba Gooding Jr. had to introduce his character at the Oscars he played it up lol, basically saying the same thing Alpa said in the movie. "Are you outta your mind?! The brothers need the work!"
And RDJ most probably would have won, if the movie hadn't been released the same year as Heath Ledger played the Joker in the Dark Knight that (rightfully) won him the post-humous award.
Rick Baker , who turned Eddie Murphy to a white guy in Coming to America , did RDJ makeup , has only won 7 oscars for makeup . Rick did the Nutty professor makeup and parody of it to this movie . Rick also worked with Nick Nolte in Lorenzo's oil , as makeup consultant .
For your own pleasure, you should watch the DVD commentary. It is hysterical, and there is one moment that Jack Black and Ben Stiller are pretty much stunned silent by Downey's acting ability.
RDJ doing the whole commentary in Lincoln Osiris' voice is priceless. Then when Kirk Lazarus starts to come out of character, RDJ switched to his Aussie accent. Then when the credits start, he just becomes "Bob". Brilliant
I love this movie. It's extremely funny on the surface, and then on top of that has a hidden joke reference to a random movie every 30 seconds or so. Just brilliant. And so many quotable lines originated here.
19:33 If you had a little brother who had reason to be nervous growing up, you'd have probably understood this. Best, most-accurate line in the entire movie.
Hahaha, great one Mary. During the whole movie, I kept waiting for it. Wait for it … Is that Tom Cruise? But you waited until the credit rolled! Priceless expression on your face! And, so many other great reactions too! So, your shipping Downey Jr and MacGuire? Bwahaha. So funny, I’m sure many would love to see Satan’s Alley. 😂. I really didn’t think you would make it through all that gore, but you did! I’m impressed. Thanks for a fun ride through Tropic Thunder. 😊
Hi Mary, just wanted to say this: please do not stop being yourself! And I really appreciate you for doing this for us! I wish you and your family the best!
Hey Marijke, we all know the legendary line Lazarus says "I don't drop character until I've done the DVD commentary". -------- Well, if you watch the Tropic Thunder DVD commentary RDJ is on it and he does the whole thing in-character as Lazarus (who is in-character as Sergeant Osiris). ------- It really doesn't get any better. WOW!!!!
I’m glad you’re feeling better. There is no direct English phrase for “little clock round” (12 hours), but we do say “around the clock”. There’s a song called “Rock Around The Clock” and people will complain about having to “work around the clock”, but we tend to use it to describe something that is always happening (or something that seems like it’s always happening.)
It was great seeing you to react to this movie. And you're right, this movie is so over the top. Everyone was excellent in this movie. And Tom Cruise as Les Grossman was just icing on the cake.
In my many decades of viewing cinematic moving pictures. Three movies will always stand out. Lawrence of Arabia with Peter O'Toole, Citizen Kane with Orson Welles, and Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller!
@@hawaiianguy1977 I was literally speaking to someone irl about a place I used to go for pancakes in Honululu in the early 80’s when I got a notification from “hawaiianguy”. That’s so weird.
This is such a fantastic movie. Besides being hilarious funny, it's a great commentary/satire on Hollywood and even society in general. Ben Stillers masterpiece for sure.
This was an amazing comedy to see in theaters. First, the trailers at the beginning were extra confusing in a theater, right after watching actual trailers. Also this movie couldn't be made today, but even then pushed limits. Everyone stayed for the credits and a bunch of people didn't realize Tom Cruise was Les until the end
A fantastic comedy of the absurdity that is Hollywood. Perfectly balanced cast that doesn't overshadow the others and has really good chemistry, a great script that has awesome quotable one-liners.
This is one of my favourite Ben Stiller Movies and so much fun. Great acting and a star ensamble, that was outstanding. I mean, Nick Nolte as Fourleaf. And to be honest, I sat there the same way you did, when I realized "What? THAT was Tom Cruise?" The best scenes where with Tom Cruise and all the talking to flaming dragon. And the funniest thing was simply the director stepping onto the mine and simply saying "Oh!?" before exploding
I actually cooked once for Ben Stiller. He is a hardline Vegan. His handlers called a week ahead of time for us to give some options for him/them to choose. Appreciated the heads up.
I think it depends on how familiar you are with Tom Cruise in the first place. If you were alive and watching his movies in the '80s, he's considered an iconic actor in your brain and you're more likely to recognize him -- but, if not, he's just another actor so your brain hasn't dedicated the same amount of space to him.
I actively disliked Tom Cruise before this movie and avoided watching things he was in. So I had little familiarity and missed it in the theatre. But this role made me enjoy his acting and he's been a fav ever since.
This was one of the funniest movies I had seen in a while. Great script, excellent performances by the whole cast. Tom Cruise was a pleasant surprise and should do more comedies. This should have won an Academy Award for Best Child Toss.
28:26. My favorite part of reactions to this movie is how long it takes people to realize that is Tom Cruise. It has to be the best acting job he's ever done.
Tom Cruise personally demanded to do the dancing as a requirement for him to be in the film. He also needed oversized prosthetic hands. He literally came in and just said verbatim, "Look, I'd love to play this character, but I want to have fat hands and I'm gonna dance.".
The character of Les Grossman was actually his idea. Stiller had sent him the script, but Cruise realized that the whole "we're making a movie" subplot needed an asshole producer giving pressure from above.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one. You're right, comedies are tough. I think they're probably the most challenging genre to film. I don't think you can make this film today because of how far it pushes the comedic boundaries in particular directions. This may explain why substantially fewer comedy films are made these days.
I have seen sooo many youtubers react to this movie now, but it never gets old to see other peoples reaction to this underrated comedy. And i couldn't wait to see the aftercredits with you because i could see that you didn't notice who Tom Cruise was 😛 Thanks for this video. It made my day. Please please pretty please keep making these videos 😀
Truly one of the greatest comedies in Cinematic History, but also had some decent action, a ridiculously stellar cast, and an amazing soundtrack. Awesome reaction, Mary. You have a great sense of humour, and that can be rare these days. 👍✌❤
I'm glad you didn't recognize tom cruise. when I first saw this in the theater, I didn't recognize him either and people have always given me grief for not recognizing him. Glad to see I'm not alone in this.
"Many units were sucked during the making of this movie" was not sentance I expected to hear when I started watching this video but I'm here for it! :D
Man, I rewatched this film the other day and I always have more and more of an appreciation for what was pulled off here everytime. Also makes me want to watch zoolander again!
Tom Cruise as the reveal in the credits was hilarious. Watching it I was like... who is that guy. Sitting in the theater and it being confirmed I was like wtf? End to end funny with lots of great quotes. :D
I like to think that the only reason Kirk Lazarus knew the director really blew up is because his character Lincoln Osiris would have been able to recognize a real explosion. If he had been playing another character he wouldn't have realized it.
"Meet the Parents" and "There's Something About Mary" are obvious and "Mystery Men" is a must, but for top level Stiller... "Flirting With Disaster." (1996)
Awww, there’s nothing to be grossed out about, Mary - it’s just corn syrup! Blood flavoured corn syrup… As the vid went on and Mary didn’t seem like she was recognising Tom Cruise, my anticipation kept growing for the end credits! Such an brilliant “Wait whuuuut? I need to watch the whole movie again!” moment 😂 Cruise so owned that role, and it was essentially his own creation. Stiller approached Cruise to get his opinion on the script, and Cruise said that it needed something extra - a studio executive or something that was putting pressure on the production. Stiller agreed and the role of Les Grossman was created especially for Cruise. All the physical appearance, mannerisms and dancing were 100% Cruise, and he even insisted that he not be mentioned in any of the pre-release publicity or opening credits, to preserve the surprise. I feel like this movie was a massive boost to his career (especially after all the Katie Holmes stuff etc). And Robert Downey Jr., man… damn. He’d spent so long out in the wilderness and he was just making his comeback with Iron Man, and he took this on. Hell of a risk, but it worked!
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Hello, I had not read the cast list. The only actors that I knew were: Nolte, Junior, McConahey, Black, Stiller, McGuire, Bass, I did not know Grossman.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 His voice is what clinched it for me, but the image and characterization was so far from what I expected, I discounted it at first. There’s an amazing interview with him where he explains the casting process and his vision for the character. Talking about he needed fat hands and on and on. I think they all thought he was crazy.

Never seen so many expressions cross your face during a reaction before. This is gold! Thanks for choosing this film... its given my Thursday a lift I didn't realise I needed! Radio 1's Ali Plumb did an interview with Tom Cruise, Cruise said to Ben Stiller, he would only do the role if he could have fat hands and dance! 😂
The story goes that Ben Stiller had a small part in the Steven Spielberg film Empire of the Sun, which starred Christian Bale, as well as a bunch of other stars, and began with said stars going to boot camp. He says that the false camaraderie and stolen valor that he saw on that set is what inspired him to make this movie.
Tom Cruise actually demanded to have big hands and a solo dance scene as conditions for him appearing in the movie and that's the most Tropic Thunder part of how Tropic Thunder was made
I'm so glad there's at least 1 other who didn't know it was Tom Cruise until the credits. I saw this in theaters and had no idea til then either. Everyone else who reacts seems to spot him right away. It ma-ma-ma-makes me feeel bad.
Mary is in a league of her own! She by far had the greatest line.... "Their were alot of units sucked in the making of this film" I literally spit out my drink when she said that and was laughing so hard 😂 🤣 Glad you reacted to this and laughed, also didn't cut the fulness of it either
2:52 That's very much like an actual movie called "Name of the Rose" with Sean Connery but...uhm...without the man love 🤣It's actually a really good movie I'd recommend, as is "The Man Who Would Be King" with Sean and Michael Caine.
I loved this movie. True all-star cast. And I loved how RDJ did almost the whole commentary as Kirk Lazarus and once he dropped the character, he never picked it up again. Also...and I'll be the hundred-thousandth person to ask this....WHERE IS OUR LES GROSSMAN MOVIE??!!
OMG!!!! @Movies with Mary, wife and I totally LOVE your reactions. This movie (foul as it was) is one incredibly funny movie and such a great piece of work. BUT your reactions throughout were top notch and so much fun to watch. :)
This movie is actually kind of tough for someone who didn't grow up watching movies. Alot of meta humor based of hollywood-isms and movie-isms. The start of the movie with the fake previews being a prime example. Hopefully you still found a lot of those reference heavy moments humorous, even if you didn't quite catch the context.
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of people who do movie reactions haven’t seen a lot of movies, so they miss quite a bit of the humor. I think most of them still enjoy it, but big movieheads will recognize how brilliant this script is.
Hi this was my very first video I’ve seen on your TH-cam Channel so hi it’s nice to meet you. Also, when I first saw this movie I died laughing so hard. 😂😂😂 I was wheezing. I was like “I can’t breathe I can’t breathe!!!” I couldn’t breathe cause I was laughing so hard. 😂😂😂 I was especially laughing so hard at the whipping part @17:22-17:28 and when he threw the kid off the bridge @26:46-26:50. 😂😂😂

@Derik K right? It's literally just a fatter Cruise. His voice is as distinct as Freemans or Earl Jones...
Him yelling Go F Yourself! Made me die!
He's playing his Scientology Master David Miscavige
His character in Far and Away was pretty vulgar and unhinged

OMG!!!! @Movies with Mary, wife and I totally LOVE your reactions. This movie (foul as it was) is one incredibly funny movie and such a great piece of work. BUT your reactions throughout were top notch and so much fun to watch. :)
19:15 AHA! i saw that nearly throwing up!
Time to see if Mary can handle TROPIC THUNDER.
"Many units we're sucked during the making of this movie" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMFAO! MARY I LOVE YOU 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"SAS Rogue Heroes" by the BBC 1st season 6 episodes!!! Worth a reaction, done so well, almost in a class with Band of Brothers...🙂
Great reaction, Mary!
This movie is actually kind of tough for someone who didn't grow up watching movies. Alot of meta humor based of hollywood-isms and movie-isms. The start of the movie with the fake previews being a prime example. Hopefully you still found a lot of those reference heavy moments humorous, even if you didn't quite catch the context.
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of people who do movie reactions haven’t seen a lot of movies, so they miss quite a bit of the humor. I think most of them still enjoy it, but big movieheads will recognize how brilliant this script is.
Hi this was my very first video I’ve seen on your TH-cam Channel so hi it’s nice to meet you.
Also, when I first saw this movie I died laughing so hard. 😂😂😂 I was wheezing. I was like “I can’t breathe I can’t breathe!!!” I couldn’t breathe cause I was laughing so hard. 😂😂😂 I was especially laughing so hard at the whipping part @17:22-17:28 and when he threw the kid off the bridge @26:46-26:50. 😂😂😂
You had a blast with this one!😄Damn,son!😂😎
