    Phenomenal performance by Robert Downey jr, INCREDIBLE!!!

    Great movie in all aspects but this performance by Robert Downey jr is proof that the Oscar's are all political and the voters have NO clue what an ACTUAL great performance is!!! NONE , his performance was incredible, he stays in character and it's his character nobody to copy. Everyone is exceptional in this movie, great cast not original story but fun to watch I've seen this movie 5 times and it hasn't lost any luster!! Buying the bluray was a no brainer!!!

    Satire died after this

    How far we've come in 15 years. This movie barks at and pokes at and makes fun of every genre, class, society, movie, race, etc. It's fantastic and gets better every watch. Probably because these jokes wouldn't fly today.

    A comedy cloaked in a war movie cloaked in a war movie being made. Pure gold.

    Cast is amazing. You'll catch more jokes the more you watch it.

    Offensive? Sure. Don't come into this trying to be offended. If you're tough skinned, you'll still be offended. Comedy at its best should do this. It should poke holes. And make fun. Comedy should shine light on the dark areas. The best always have and continue to be.

    I hope you enjoy, I always do.

    'Man, I don't drop character 'till I done the DVD commentary.'

    Tropic Thunder is a 2008 parody film and is amongst the funniest films of the 2000s without a doubt.

    The humour doesn't shy away from what is deemed to be politically incorrect nowadays, but looking past all that it's a very funny film.

    The self awareness provided throughout is entertaining and the dialogues pack a punch. The all-star cast all embody their characters really well and do a great job at satirising the hollywood film industry.

    The story, like a lot of other comedies is not the film's strong point, and some of the film's scenes aren't overly funny but many are.

    So many great lines in here too. Worth a viewing.

    Ben Stiller's Best Movie!

    This is hands down Ben Stiller's best movie. It has great action, great dialogue, great acting, great music and great humor. This movie is filled with quotable lines and works very well. The performances I have to single out for praise are Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, Jay Baruchel, Matthew McConaughey, and Tom Cruise. I feel like this movie approaches it's themes in a way similar to Blazing Saddles but Blazing Saddles has a lot more slapstick. The Tugg Speedman character is not as memorable as Derek Zoolander but this movie is far better than Zoolander is. This is my favorite Ben Stiller movie alongside Meet The Fockers, Zoolander, Starsky and Hutch, and Night At The Museum 1 and 3 but I still haven't seen There's Something About Mary. I honestly prefer Robert Downey Jr as Kirk Lazuras over him as Iron Man but they are both fantastic performances. Tom Cruise is awesome as Less Grossman. He owns his character that is very different from everything else he has done. I hope Ben Stiller is proud of this movie because to me this is his best one.

    This is the greatest story ever told.

    When asked, what's your favorite movie? I use to take pause and have a hard time answering, but not anymore...Tropic Thunder!!!

    The last enjoyably offensive and unapologetic comedy from planet earth.

    To all involved making this film, thank you for making the world a better place.

    • Trivia
      Ben Stiller said nearly all aspects of the Les Grossman character were developed by Tom Cruise, including the dancing and the look of the make-up. Stiller said that in addition to the more obvious make-up effects applied to Cruise's face and head, and the extra hair on his chest and arms, Cruise also decided to play the character wearing oversized prosthetic hands.
    • Goofs
      The drug traffickers encountered late in the film, despite being in Laos (Sandusky estimates they're not in Vietnam anymore), speak Mandarin Chinese - a fact noted by Kirk, who uses his crappy knowledge of it to attempt to bluff his way into the heroin plant.
    • Quotes

      Les Grossman: First, take a big step back... and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE! I don't know what kind of pan-pacific bullshit power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia Jack is my territory. So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again! Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an un-Godly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!
