- Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying.
- Sgt. Fourleaf Tayback is the author of the international best seller "Tropic Thunder" detailing his accounts of the Vietnam War. Now that book has been turned into a movie. Directed by first time director Damian Cockburn, the film stars veteran action hero Tug Speedman, multi - character comedy actor Jeff Portnoy, star of the "Fatties Fart II" (more famous for his off camera drug addiction arrests than his acting), and three time Oscar winner Kirk Lazarus (famous for his total immersion style of acting) - fresh off his most recent Cannes film festival smash. Rounding out the cast is character actor Kevin Sandusky and rapper Alpa Chino, who in his spare time, hawks an energy drink known as "Booty Sweat". When filming the movie's climactic scene goes horribly awry with a pyromaniac blowing up the Vietnamese jungle side off camera, the film's director, with convincing from executive producer Les Grossman, and Sgt. Tayback himself, decide to take the film in a much different direction. Now shooting the movie guerrilla style, the actors are taken deep in the jungle. There, Cockburn is killed by a landmine, and Speedman is kidnapped by ruthless drug lords who are enamored with his box office flop "Simple Jack". The rest of the crew then has to band together to save Speedman - who are convinced they are a real army. Can they overcome their differences to become a real military unit, save Speedman, and win best picture? Or will they face the wrath of their hot headed, foul mouthed, executive producer?
- This kind of comedy is risky and there was some blow back from disability rights activists, but the result is a very funny movie that undoubtedly will offend some viewers. In fact, there is something for nearly every sensitivity so it is an equal opportunity offender. Watching APOCALYPSE NOW ever again with a straight face is going to be a challenge.<br/><br/>There's also tons of action so you can go along for the ride and not worry about inside jokes, subtext, etc. The acting is well covered in other comments, so I'll just say kudos to the effects team(s) for a visually engaging environment. When will the game come out? I gave this an "8.5" because I laughed at something in every scene. Be sure to watch the special features on the DVD for some great background on the film.
- hilarious movie, Ben stiller really did it this time. i have seen this movie three times and i always crack with laughter. i think we are all sick from the scary movie sequels and ashton kutcher comedies . Time for real comedy . it's the first real hardcore comedy i saw in years , since Jim Carey's me myself and irene . watching this movie you don't just smile you laugh from you're heart. and it's not just a funny movie the plot is new, the dialogue is brilliant the cinematography also and absolutely tom cruise is great jack black is hilarious and robert downey jr is pure genius. i wish to see more of this type. it's my first review on IMDb. thank you
- If you wait through the credits, you get one last joke in the fine print: The actors shot the whole movie in Hawaii, on the fabulously lush island of Kauai. So while they were shooting a story about indulged prima donnas, they were working themselves in one of the most tourist-friendly spots on Earth. You've gotta smile at that.
- Tropic Thunder is based on an idea from comedian Ben Stiller, who also directed, co-produced, and stars in the film. It was adapted for the screen by screenwriters Justin Theroux and Etan Cohen. It's said that Stiller got the idea for Tropic Thunder while he was shooting <a href="/title/tt0092965/">Empire of the Sun (1987)</a> (1987) and became aware of how "self-important" some actors considered themselves to be when they were attending fake boot camps in order to prepare for war film roles. Tropic Thunder is meant to be a satire of other Vietnam War films, including <a href="/title/tt0091763/">Platoon (1986)</a> (1986), <a href="/title/tt0078788/">Apocalypse Now (1979)</a> (1979), <a href="/title/tt0093058/">Full Metal Jacket (1987)</a> (1987), <a href="/title/tt0093137/">Hamburger Hill (1987)</a> (1987), and <a href="/title/tt0077416/">The Deer Hunter (1978)</a> (1978). The connection to Apocalypse Now is significant because that film ran into delays, budgetary problems, and went well over its intended production time while director Francis Ford Coppola shot in the Philippines. The troubled production of Apocalypse Now has been much-written about and analyzed and was the subject of a documentary, <a href="/title/tt0102015/">Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991)</a>, produced by Coppola's wife, Eleanor. Yes, most are a combination of celebrities who have been known for one or more of the flaws that many of the movie characters have. Tugg Speedman has been called a younger Sylvester Stallone, Vin Diesel, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and/or Wesley Snipes. Jeff "Fatts" Portnoy is likened mostly to Eddie Murphy but also to Chris Farley, Martin Lawrence, Tim Allen, Tom Arnold, and, to a lesser extent, it's a slight poke at Robert Downey Jr. with the references to the character's repeated drug arrests. Kirk Lazarus is likened to Colin Farrell, Daniel Day-Lewis, Heath Ledger, Russell Crowe, Robert Downey Jr. himself, Christian Bale, and Marlon Brando. With regard to Alpa Chino, take your pick of rapper-turned-actors. He's mainly a combination of Snoop Dogg, Will Smith and Lil' Jon in regards to Snoop Dogg putting his name on everything, Will Smith taking on a major film role to help boost his record/product sales and Lil' Jon having his own energy drink. Finally, Les Grossman has been likened to Hollywood producer Scott Rudin and also to Harvey Weinstein. Also Four Leaf Tayback seems to be inspired in part by authors Dick Marcinko and Tom Clancy. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, Vaudeville theaters made common practice of employing Caucasian actors to portray Black characters in Minstrel Shows (an entertainment consisting of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music, which viciously lampooned blacks in disparaging ways, i.e. ignorant, lazy, buffoonish, superstitious, joyous, and musical). The actors would paint their face using shoe polish or grease paint and play into the stereotypes of the time. After the Civil War, former chattel slaves or their free-born descendants, in the United States, began to appear in "blackface", forming a number of Black-only Minstrel troops that rivaled the popularity of the early Caucasian performers. This practice continued in early cinema and has been variously viewed as ranging from "comedic" to "racially stereotypical". Sort of. In terms of color, yes albeit only partly, and otherwise not. There is a drug called methoxsalen, marketed under the trade name Oxsoralen that can be used in this way. Author John Howard Griffin used it, but in conjunction with spending up to fifteen hours daily under an ultraviolet lamp, to darken his skin in order to investigate racial segregation in the South. He also used dye to cover the parts of his skin that were uneven. Griffin's experience is detailed in the non-fiction book Black Like Me (1961). Journalist Grace Halsell did the same, resulting in a book Soul Sister: The Journal of a White Woman Who Turned Herself Black and Went to Live and Work in Harlem and Mississippi (1969). Prior even to Griffin and Halsell, a journalist for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette named Ray Sprigle attempted to do the same in 1947. This was before the advent of methoxsalen, so Sprigle attempted to deepen his skin color with walnut dye and iodine but eventually ended up suntanning himself darkly.<br/><br/>In the movie, however, the process Kirk Lazarus (<a href="/name/nm0000375/">Robert Downey Jr.</a>) uses is referred to in dialogue as a surgical procedure. At the end of the film, he removes his contact lenses and fake facial hair in the enemy camp, and later appears at the Oscars with his normal skin tone. Just one: Damian Cockburn, who steps on an old landmine and is blown to pieces. In the movie-within-the-movie that they were filming at the beginning, however, Sandusky's character gets horribly disemboweled, a fellow soldier gets shot in the head, and in the director's cut, a helicopter gunner is hit with a large piece of shrapnel. Aside from these, countless Vietcong combatants get shot down. "Sometimes When We Touch", a late 1970s hit by Dan Hill. Before the actual plot progress begins, there are four in-universe advertising snippets (mostly unrated trailers) shown to introduce some of the main characters. (1) An advertisement for Alpa Chino's Booty Sweat energy drink and Bust-A-Nut energy bars featuring his hit single "I Love The Pussy". (2) A trailer for Universal Pictures' upcoming film "Scorcher VI: Global Meltdown", once again starring Tugg Speedman in the lead role. The inclusion of this trailer parodies those of typical summer action blockbuster franchises. (3) A trailer for New Line Cinema's "The Fatties: Fart 2", again starring Jeff Portnoy as America's favorite obese family. The trailer is footage of Jeff Portnoy breaking flatulence excessively in a French restaurant and is a hybrid parody of The Nutty Professor, in which Eddie Murphy portrayed every member of the Klump family, and Terrence & Phillip from South Park, whose sole running joke is farting. (4) A trailer for Fox Searchlight's "Satan's Alley", a film in the vein of Brokeback Mountain and starring five-time Academy Award winner Kirk Lazarus with MTV Movie Award's Best Kiss winner Tobey Maguire as two medieval monks who are romantically involved. The film was winner of the Beijing Film Festival's coveted Crying Monkey Award. There is no scene at the end of the credits, however, there is a scene at the end of movie that carries over into the credits. Many people have called this movie ironic for the fact that it is a satirical film, which is making fun of actors who are only taking on roles in films in order to win awards, mainly the Academy Award. (Such as Tugg Speedman taking on the role of Simple Jack, hoping to win an Oscar, and Kirk Lazarus getting plastic surgery in order to play the role of Lincoln Osiris.) The irony, however, is that actual Oscar buzz surrounded Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Kirk Lazarus, and he in fact ended up receiving a nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category, when such was not "intended". There was even buzz about Tom Cruise's minor role as Les Grossman after he received a Golden Globe nomination, though an Oscar nomination did not happen. "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield. This plays in the opening of the green-band trailer when it first plays out like a serious war movie.<br/><br/>"Gimme Some Lovin'" by Spencer Davis Group. This plays in both the green and red band trailers when the three main characters are being introduced as "The Action Guy", The Award Winner", etc.<br/><br/>"Name of the Game (Clean Name)" by The Crystal Method. This plays in both the green and red band trailers when the writer (Nick Nolte) tells Damian (the director - Steve Coogan) to put the actors "in the trees" ("in the shit", in the red band trailer)<br/><br/>"Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones. This plays (but is cut short) while the main characters travel through the jungle.<br/><br/>"War" by Edwin Starr. This plays in both the green band and red band trailers after the Vietnamese soldier spots the actors, thinking they're spies.<br/><br/>"Awaking The Dragon" (aka "Sleeping With The Dragon") by RipTide Music. This is the "epic action movie trailer" music that plays when the trailer begins listing off the names of the three lead actors. The theatrical version of "Tropic Thunder" is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. This version was later released on DVD as well as an Unrated Director's Cut. The Director's Cut runs more than 17 minutes longer than the theatrical cut and adds more story, dialogue and action to the film. a5c7b9f00b
