Tom Cruise was Les. That's the only thing you missed by not going just a lil further
he just didnt look like him cause of the costume lol
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN I didn't notice him the first time I saw it either 😂😂
Seems like most movie reaction channels don't notice Tom Cruise. Witch seems surprising
@@BobbyG716 tbh, I didn't even notice the first time.
she's too young young to know who Tom Cruise is.. amd Lance.
The black community really didn’t have a problem with RDJ playing a black guy. More controversy was on Simple Jack
That was before cancel culture era!
I was about to say this. No one cared RDJ was black lol
He was the dude playing the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude!!!
@@seanstinchfield-mp2xm But does he know what dude he is?
When people stop being so sensitive movies will go back to being great and funny. Comedians cant even ve Comedians due to everybody being so dam sensitive. I'm not sure how all thse people got so sensitive bit it's ruining movies and comics
Fun fact: showed this movie to a Chinese foreign exchange student that was staying with my cousins. He laughed at the “surgery” scene with RDJs character trying to become black. I asked him why he was laughing so hard. He pointed out there are bottles of a medicine from china subtly scattered throughout the operating room. I do not remember exactly what it’s for but it’s notorious for causing people’s skin to becoming tanner the more they use it. Ben Stiller really did so much research for this movie hahaha
Robert Downey Jr being Black was not controversial. No one had a problem with it when it came out. About five years ago, A bunch of 20-somethings on Twitter tried to make something of it.
Yup now those same morons highjacked Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, etc

Thumbs down from all my accounts/devices for her deleting my comment about "twitter people". but I was essentially agreeing with you saying the same people now control the movie industry and are torching our favorite franchises.
I didn't even know that was rdj until 5 years ago lol
They hated on Ben stiller playing a mentally challenged person back when this came out
I never understood why people got so up in arms about RDJ's character. The role is literally making fun of method actors, who take their roles too far. Blackface is only an issue because the person doing it is usually making mockery out of Black people. Conversely, RDJ's character is making fun of the insensitivity of Hollywood screenwriters/directors, and the sellout nature of actors.
All the people who took offense to his character, are just simple minded and clearly didn't get the joke. It's almost like the writers are also making fun of those people too, in a way. TBH, the backlash about his character only started in the last couple years, well over a decade after the movie came out. Back when it came out, everybody understood the joke and found it hilarious.
As a black person... I don't know a single black person that was offended... It was SJW whites that got butthurt.
I dont think anyone ever did.
@@znk0r That's not true, there are even reactors here that get mad about it.
@@znk0r Yeah, the whole "controversy" started just a few years ago when SJW's discovered pictures out of context.
because these days, actual context doesn't matter.
Tom Cruise as Les was my favorite character in the entire movie.
Underrated line:
"You tell the world what happened here."
"What happened here?"
lol
'I don't know, but you have to tell them.'
lance was kind of a double joke. lance was played by lance from the boy band "Nsync" which also had Justin Timberlake. He eventually came out as gay in real life years later.
so it was like a "wink" at the audience
Each actor based their characters on real people. Ben Stiller= Sylvester Stallone, RDJ= Russell Crowe (and a bit of himself), Jack Black = Chris Farley, Brandon Jackson= R. Kelly, Tom Cruise= Harvey Weinstein, etc.
I thought Ben Stiller was Sly & Cuba Gooding Jr( because of the reference to the film Radio(Simple Jack) RDJ was Russell Crowe, himself & a critique of actors who’ve done blackface from Laurence Olivier in Othello & Angelina Jolie in A Mighty Heart), Jack Black as Chris Farley was pretty spot on, I thought Brandon T. Jackson was a parody of Ludacris or any other rapper trying to get into acting but R. Kelly makes sense too & I never thought Tom Cruise was supposed to be Harvey Weinstein 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah it’s one of those films that does a GREAT job at parodying a subject in almost every detail of the film. The more you watch it the more you notice hahaha
Tom Cruise's character is probably a combination of Harvey Weinstein and Joel Silver. Quentin Tarantino also parodied Joel Silver in True Romance .
You forgot about Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor. I'm referring to the Jack Black character. As far as his drug abuse that's a HUGELY common occurrence in Hollywood or among celebrities in general for DECADES.
@@cashflowhustles Yes, Jack Black's character is clearly a combination of Chris Farley and Eddie Murphy from The Nutty Professor. All of these characters are composites and not just based on one person only.
Girl, if you don’t stop saying you want Jay to die 😂😂😂 what that boy do to you lmao
😂😂
Fr 😭
The Guy Dancing At The End Was Tom Cruise 😂😂😂
Bummer we didn’t get to see her reaction to him in credits. Cut off 2 early
The G5 owners manual is for owners. He had no choice really so he took the g5, jumped on his private g5, flew in, saved them, jumped on his plane and flew back home.
The literal definition of a win win!
"I don't read the script. The script reads me." That's my favorite line in the movie.
RDJ is the goat man “I don’t drop character till I done the dvd commentary”
Fun fact, he did the DVD commentary for this movie as Sgt. Lincoln Osiris.
this movie is actually a brilliant commentary on what’s wrong with Hollywood from representation of characters to method actors or actors in general being obnoxious & yes RDJ was nominated for plenty of awards for this including an Oscar 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
The Half-Squat yeet gets me every time 😅
Nah Jay is the MVP of the movie. He has all the funniest moments. If you haven't seen him in This Is The End, you need to get on that.
That booty sweat energy drink was actually good it was fruit punch flavor. There was a limited release of booty sweat and bust-a-nut bars when the movie came out. Never had a chance to bust-a-nut tho lol
Simple Jack was the main point of controversy when this movie was released. No one was too upset about RDJ, at least not back then lol
I saw Tropic Thunder with one of my best friends, with a good crowd. People were laughing really hard. RDJ got the biggest laughs but everybody got some good ones. I wish I had recorded the audience on my phone, it'd be great to hear that every once in a while.
There's no way a movie like this gets made today. People are too sensitive and companies are too scared. In fact, there's a movie called "All Star Weekend" where RDJ plays a Mexican and it's finished, but the studio is too scared to release it. It also stars Jamie Foxx.
Glad you enjoyed this movie! Always fun seeing you revist classics and get a kick out of them.
My goodness, thank you for uploading this video, I truly enjoyed it…oh and, the reaction was good too.
I see what you did there lol
MJ: "you gotta take em to Vietnam"
Me: laughing "there already in Vietnam" lol
Comedy "back then" 😂😭 like we're watching old Vaudeville clips and this wasn't within her lifetime
one of the funniest movies ever made
I Love ur reaction to the classic comedy movie 🎥🍿 l laughed so hard Beautiful MJ ♥️ TOM CRUISE CHARACTER HAD ME HALLING LAUGHING LOL 😂😂😂
11:45 MJ - "They're all... actors"
Me, thinking of that Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy episode - "They're Actors"
One of the funniest parts to me is Lincon speaking in the forgien language with that accent he was doing. Also what he was actually saying like I imagine some just walking up to me in English saying "hold your cock" like wtf 😂😂😂😂 it just tickled me the right way
fun fact RDJ got a Oscar nomination for his role lost to Heath Ledger Joker
Yeah that was a tough one because Heath Ledger did his thing as the Joker. One of the best Joker’s since Jack Nicholson. It would’ve been dope if it was 2 winners cause they both did their thing! ✊🏽🔥💯
It's really not though. Ledgers joker is nothing like the joker. It's like he didn't even understand the character. RJD should absolutely have won.
"I'm sorry that's not funny, but his hands..."
🤣🤣🤣
"Four Leaf, was you crying when your hands blew up?!"
"No..."
The blown up hands being so ridiculous is a hilarious break from the great FX up until then. The blood spraying helmet and Jay digging through his organs are so funny already and then Stiller holds up his jazz hands 🤗
I usually add videos to my watch later list when I get a chance at work, and yours are usually the ones I put at the top to watch first when I get home.
In the theater the guys behind me flipped out when they realized that was Tom Cruise.
Your confusion for the first half of the movie was everyone's experience. The satire is insane. You should definitely rewatch it now that you know the vibe, the first half is wicked funny.
What do you have against Jay Baruchel?
i think she doesnt like his voice. he has some good movies she should see like shes out of my league and the sorcerer apprentice
Love your reactions! as someone who is black and white when this came out neither me or any of my black family had a problem with it, it wasn't even the slightest bit controversial because it is comedy and was done properly without bad intent.
You should've kept watching the credits, the reveal that it's Tom Cruise catches many off guard and it's fun to see. Btw, I don't remember RDJ's role being controversial, in fact he was nominated for an Oscar for it, it only became controversial recently and it didn't last long because no one paid any attention to it.
The movie was the creation of Ben Stiller, Les is Tom Cruise's idea who read the script and told Stiller that the only thing missing was the studio putting pressure on the production, after that part was written in he wanted to play it and he wanted that specific look. Lance is Lance Bass, a member of a boy band called NSYNC who's actually gay.
As far as I remember, nobody got offended by RDJ's character Kirk doing blackface. Now, the copious use of the R-word, people were offended by. But every bit of it was intentional satire. And brilliantly done.
People get upset now these days cause people these days have got their heads so far up their butts and are way too sensitive about anything 😂. This movie is pure comedy today as it was when it came out MJ. It took me to the end to realize that was Tom Cruise 😂Awesome show there, MJ. Keep up the terrific work 👏 👌 👍 😀
Don't worry about collabs. We're here just for you!
Definitely the best comment
At the mtv movie awards which this movie was nominated in, for promotion and a bit of fun tom came out in character and did a full performance. Even danced alongside JLo.
How can anyone not love Danny Mcbride!? Everything he’s in is GOLD. One of the best comedy actors of all time.
The actor that's doing the commentary and the guy with the fake hook hands.The virginity didn't have hands.He's actually the actor from 48 hours with Eddie Murphy back in the 80s.Great movie
Nick Nolte is a legend!
Have you seen " This Is Spinal Tap - The Kentucky Fried Movie - The Blues Brothers - PORKY 'S - Amazon Women On The Moon - All the Naked Gun movies - Airplane - all the Mel Brooks movies ?
fun fact, RDJ did the DVD commentary as Osiris.
i love this reaction
MJ Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
When this movie came out not a single black person I knew, including myself, was upset about Robert Downey Jr. It wasn’t controversial until Gen Z got there hands on it 😒
Yeah. Stiller got all the flak for portraying a ret... mentally impaired person.
This is by far the best comedy I’ve ever seen lol
When this movie came out I was in college at an HBCU and we all watched this all the time because RDJ was so funny!!!! The whole campus had this on bootleg 😂😂😂
Great reaction. 😊
People used to say Robert Downey Jr. was doing blackface, but he was actually playing a white character from Australia doing blackface. It's literally a movie about actors.
9:12 Just explained it here, he takes method acting too far that he even went full-on "brotha" for the movie. RDJ isn't racist, his character is.
This movie was good love the video MJ stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
That was Tom Cruise dancing at the end😂
First, this movie is great. Second this wasn't a big deal for blacks ben stiller even showed it to the naacp for them to approve rdj blackface role, and they loved it. Third, it was mostly the media trying to tell black people they should feel offended, didn't work, but they tried. Similar to that south park episode where the characters said " ninja " a bunch of times 😂😂
I love this movie! Subbed.
@40:58 Talkin bout "This kid is so evil" like ALL children aren't evil! lol
@14:30 Plants VS. Zombies Cherry Bomb Jingle!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@17:07 😮😊
This was so wild, silly ,and off beat. But it kept me laughing all the way through. Especially the Tom Cruise dance scene
😂❤ my stomach hurts 🤣🤣
The fact Les (Tom Cruise) almost had a spin off
Love this movie! Hahaha
I haven't seen or heard of any controversy around this film.
Subscribed 😇
New subscriber. Great job on the reaction
Tom Cruise = Legend
Her: Y’all need to listen to four leaf
Me: Well you say that…… lol
I didn’t realize until the credits either😅
I always cracked up because Lance from *NSYNC I feel like only old heads will get the joke from that time
Don’t question the power of TiVo 😂
Damn I wish you would have kept watching the credits a little bit longer so because senior reaction to realize that was Tom Cruise
Even back then people had issues with RDJ’s character, that might be why they did it, since it would lampoon extreme method actors.
This was a funny movie. Anyone who has a problem with it, the problem is theirs.
Pandas are indeed aggressive if warranted. Like if you deliberitely piss them off!
44:54 I still find it hard to believe that’s Tom Cruise…
That was Lance Bass of N'Sync.
Oh man , another ten seconds of credits we could of got ur Tom Cruise reaction
Free the sweater kitties!!,
6:47 no. Don’t be sorry. Don’t ever be sorry. That is hilarious as *f*!!!!!!! Laugh at what tickles you!
I like listening to you but I don't know I find it hard to look you in the eyes I don't know what it could be
While I understand the thought behind the controversy, even today I think RDJ's blackface in this movie is not something that is worth controversy. People say movies like this can't be made anymore and while I agree I think it is a shame, the Simple Jack stuff aside because that is definitely worth questioning, but the blackface definitely not. I feel that as long as you don't glorify and show that it is a fucked up thing to do then things like that are ok. There is 0 attempt to make what RDJ's character did ok or to justify it, and including Alpa Chino as a a black dude to counter his ignorant method acting is perfect. I think it only becomes a problem when you make it seem like it is ok or don't acknowledge it. I feel you can have comedy like this, the problem is people who see in only black and white and fail to see the shades of grey in between. Another good example if comedy like this that is still going on though is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The characters say and do some fucked shit and it is still ok because we don't glorify it and the gang never gets ahead and usually either wind up back where they started or in a worse situation. Basically showing that you won't get ahead in life acting and doing things like that.
14:32 His body also changed 💀🤣🤣
17:06
Can we get a thumbs 👍 for the fit!!🫣😏
Hey beautiful glad you're watching this comedy masterpiece.
This movie is hilarious 😂. I thought RDJ was my favorite actor in this movie. This is the only blackface character that did not offend me it was done perfectly. I didn't know it was Tom Cruise until the end of the movie.
Basically a parody of the movie, Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and Deer Hunter!
🎉🎉 love the reaction Coke Zero is very addictive
14:27 TEO… SECONDS… LATER… 💥👀
Tf you had against Jay? lol
Pro tip: When it comes to Tropic Thunder - NEVER ask "Is that true?" 😂 I promise you it's not 😂
Girl... Your top is so cute! And the colors compliment your skin tone well =)
Don't forget that Kirk is an Australian, he doesn't understand the American cultural baggage of black face and everything he knows about being black he learned from American TV, like when he quoted the theme song of The Jeffersons. At the start he doesn't understand why anyone would be offended by his over the top method acting role.
No one had an issue with RDJ doing black face until years later, at the time the issue was Ben Stiller as Simple Jack. When they did try to retroactively cancel RDJ for his role in this film Jamie Foxx did an interview basically stating the point of his character was to speak about the crazy things method actors are willing to do, but also to serve as a critique about how far Hollywood was willing to go in order to not give Black actors prominent roles in films, which is further expanded on in the back and forth between RDJ and Brandon T Jackson's character when BTJ says "Maybe I felt like I had to represent, because they 1 good role in this film for a Black man and they gave it to Crocodile Dundee!"
Also, Ben Stiller as Simple Jack served as a critique of Oscar bait films like Radio, I Am Sam, Rain Man, etc.
Also, also, RDJ definitely did the DVD commentary in character as Lincoln O'Siris. Lol
BLOW THE BRIDGE PART IS FROM THE VIETNAM WAR MOVIE UNCOMMON VALOR WHEN FORMER AMERICANS WENT BACK TO VIETNAM TO RESCUE AMERICAN POWS THE BRIDGE SCENE IS FROM THAT MOVIE
Movie mocking Vietnam war movie PLATOON ITS CLASSIC YOU HAVE TO REACT TO PLATOON CLASSIC MOVIE 😊
The things you missed. Lance at the end is Lance Bass, and the guy at the end you said is big on the top is Tom Cruise. 🤣
Right around @12:07 you mentioned something with zero calories that tastes good. Well, I have an unusually high metabolism and need more calories! But I'm glad that you are aware of your health concerns!
The only part I did not like is the skit about the Panda bear. There are no wild Panda's in Vietnam -that would be China! 🐼
24:13 actually... You gonna get surprise by how dangerous they are
12:12 *_THAT'S WHAT THE FUCK I'VE BEEN SAYING!!!_* Zero is better than diet. It tastes must closer to the regular and is 0 calories. Diet Pepsi? Somebody needs to get kicked in the shins... yeah, both of them. I can drink diet Sunkist because it's orange soda and fruit flavored sodas just work for some reason.
(Damn I miss the Diet V8 Splashes though...)
Notice Chaka from Land of the Lost? He the young one with the glasses
