#TropicThunder #FirstTimeWatching #MovieReaction
As a black dude...this is probably my favourite RDJ performance ever...He wasn't denegreating black people...the character he played was actually the smartest person in that crew. The way I see it, the movie was showing how method acting can be taken to ridiculous levels. Besides, the movie makes fun of nearly everyone.
Thats what people didnt want to see. His character Kirk Lazarus was in blackface to make a couple of points, and Robert Downey Jr was playing Kirk Lazarus and played him damn well. That was also why Brandon T Jackson was in there as Alpa Chino to call out that very point, while his own character was hiding parts of his true identity. I dont think that most of the people complaining saw the movie.
Yeah, that's exactly the point. It was meant to show the ridiculous lengths his character went to as a method actor, and (as they brought up in the film) the fact that his character was cast as a black man despite being white, because they wanted a 3x Oscar winner in the movie instead of an actual black actor. That was the ENTIRE schtick. In 2008 not many people cared, aside from a few bloggers and one woman from the NAACP who said it was racist and got on TV and complained about it. Even other black actors were congratulating him on playing the character so well. Fast forward to 2020 and Twitter "rediscovering" this movie, and....you know. People who were 7 or 8 when the movie came out were suddenly offended as 20 year old recreational activists.
@@caomhan84 Nope. The whole fake outrage and cancel-culture nonsense is an orchestrated move from right-wing people designed to create resentment against the left. The left's agenda is unions and better pay for workers, and taxing the rich, so the rich invented cancel culture to sow resentment and prevent leftists from taking power.
True that
Why the fuck do companies care about the 5% of MF's offended by the air we breath? Fuck the cancel culture.
Seeing RDJ's character getting offended over kangaroo jokes, while wearing literal blackface, is a golden comedic moment that went over my head when I first saw this movie.
RDJ wasn't wearing Literal Blackface. Blackface is just that, The Face is black. He was mocking actors who go way overboard in preparation for a role. Matthew McConaughey is a prime example.
@@michaelsublet3283 That is why I said RDJ's character, not RDJ himself.
Or when he gets offended for mentioning "Crocodile Dundee". Pump your brakes kid, that man's national treasure !
Well, since i'm from the OLD world - I like Lenny Henry with White Face in True Identity(1991) 😛
My favorite part ..." You bout to cross a motha fuckin line"!!
"What do YOU mean, YOU people?" One of the best lines ever. And the look on his face is priceless!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN …. YOU PEOPLE 🤣🤣🤣 I loved this movie lol
As a black man your a racist, you poepls? Really?
I mean its my favorite part. He even reacted like Black people do. Gets easily offended over what people say. You people.... What do you mean by you people.
I still say this sometimes 😂
Double what jokes are the best!
In the theater, this intro came in right after the real movie trailers and ads with no warning. It was a funny surprise figuring it out,
Ikr. I was looking forward to seeing the F@ ties. 😆 disappointed in the end
@@archangelmusic13 we did 😂
I honestly don't think they even showed trailers at my showing, but I'm. probably misremembering
WOw this is the lazest shit ever. lol
Lol it was the perfect intro to any movie I’ve ever seen.
"I don't break character until I do the DVD commentary!" Fun Fact: Like his character, Kirk Lazarus, Robert Downey Jr. is a method actor and stayed in character as Sergeant Osiris/Lazarus even while cameras were not rolling. Bonus Fact: 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.
The commentary was hilarious!
Cruise said if they want him in the film they have to let him wear a fat suit lol
Funny thing is in the DVD commentary he stayed in character lol
Yeah he’s awesome!!
Yeah. Tom Cruise gave an interview to BBC Radio once and he recalled the Les Grossman role, which he referred to as "the studio." He said he told Ben Stiller, "I'll play the studio, but I want fat hands, and I want to dance."
It's a satirical movie. "Tropic Thunder" pokes fun at Hollywood for how they use white actors to play characters that are asian, african, indian and so on. People that are triggered by this movie don't understand that it is criticizing the exact phenomenon that they themselves are critical of. Besides that it satirizes celebrity culture, method acting, sequels, war movies and the movie industry in general.
MOVIE WAS DOPE ! People just have to learn to enjoy movies and be open minded i literally don’t find any movie offensive if it’s a movie I’m watching and laughing 🔥
Yeah. His character makes sense in the context of the movie to point out the ridiculousness of black face, and Hollywood’s own racist history. But I have to say, now that I think about it, I feel like some of the other characters should’ve pointed it out too that it’s inappropriate, instead of just Alpa Cino.
@@Kayoss13212 That is true.
💯
I don't think anyone has ever been offended by this movie with regards to RBJ 😅
Jack Black is 100 percent underrated. Totally agree
Totally agree! He's more known for comedy, but he was awesome in the Peter Jackson remake of King Kong, one of his few serious roles.
@@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289 Shallow Hal is probably the best showcase for Jack Blacks acting skills
Anyone remember JB and KG in Bio Dome?
Likewise, I agree. I can't remember what his acting was like in it, but 'Bernie' was a really good movie too.
When Jack Black was talking about what he would do for some drugs or someone to untie him and how he would do it in super graphic detail.
This movie is Ben Stiller’s masterpiece and probably one of the funniest meta comedy films ever made!
I agree! My cheeks was hurting watching this ! We loved it
bro zoolander and the one where he plays the fat camp counsellor i cant remember what its called but its older
@@chilidog3518 Zoolander is really good, but it’s not Tropic Thunder!
@@mrflickswatches all four of my cheeks were hurting. Love this movie. Saw it twice in theaters. Those faux previews threw everyone off back then. It was amazing.
@@mrflickswatches Ayo????
Matthew McConaughey kills it in this... him showing up to save the day out of nowhere then sprinting off into the jungle makes me laugh every time
there is an alternate ending which in my opinion is actually funnier, where the agent gets captured and ends up living with them, and watches the oscars from the camp
@@fostena Both are good endings.
I didn’t notice it until the last time I watched this, in the credits there’s a clip of Matthew McConaughey flying back in a private jet. The agent took Les Grossman’s offer of the G5 jet to keep quiet and used it to fly to Vietnam and rescue Tugg himself!
Tuggernuts!!! I got the Tivo! It kills me lol
Originally Ben Stiller casted himself to play the actor's agent, but they couldn't nail down anyone to take the lead so he ended up doing it himself.
This film came out a few months after Iron Man, and honestly the fact that RDJ *didn't* cause a scene and managed to stay clean for two films in a row was huge at the time convincing studios they could rely on him.
Wasn't it Favereau that personally vouched for him for Iron Man? And Stiller and him have been friends a while so Stiller trusted him too. But yeah, it was these two films that brought him back. And he earned it really. He worked hard.
He gambled with Iron Man and Tropic Thunder and won big on both, happy for him
He was also a bit part in _Zødiac_ right before that iirc
I thought he had been done for years before these films? I'm sure he hates having that in his history, and ppl bringing up in interviews. It doesn't represent who he is. He is definitely one in a million.
Back then I was so frustrated with him. He was so good in so much stuff and then he'd get in trouble again. And I'm like dude, just knock it off, start clean so we can keep watching you be awesome. It was a long road but I'm happy to see him finally doing that now.
The thing is, this movie respects people's intelligence. They're not making fun of autistic or other neuro-divergent people with simple jack, they're mocking those bullshit Hollywood "Oscar bait" movies that use neuro-divergent people as props to make a feel-good movie. They're not mocking black people with RDJ in blackface, they're mocking Hollywood performer's egos and how black people are often portrayed in Hollywood. Most people are smart enough to see that.
Yeah just recently got a comment saying “that’s very distasteful to laugh at that” I would never laugh at that, I respect everyone for who they are. I’m laughing at THE MOVIE, I’m black, and I also laugh at black jokes.. it’s a comedy. I understand opinions, but it’s a comedy movie, if you know you don’t like it, don’t click on it. Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼
Simple Jack bombed in Hollywood, but the villagers don't know about the "never go full retard" rule. They see the truth of the performance and the artistry of the portrayal. Some of them probably have mentally disabled family members and appreciate the work that went into the role.
So... Forest Gump?
Neuro-divergent people? Hot damn, the euphemisms are getting powerful!
@@normie2716????? Tf? It was always called neuro divergent..just because you choose to call them slurs instead of the actual name it doesn't mean it didn't exist lmao
For his portrayal in this movie, RDJ actually received Best Supporting Actor nominations for both the Golden Globes and Oscars. In contrast, I don't know if he was gonna win either since it was a parody/comedy film, but he and all the other nominees in 2009 just so happened to come up against Heath Ledger's Joker.
That's a hard one to beat. Heath Ledger will always bee the greatest joker. It's a shame the guy who played Doc Holliday in Tombstone didn't win any awards. He was phenomenal
@@notmefrfr Val Kilmer 🙂
@@notmefrfr he still _is_ phenomenal, he hasn’t gone anywhere he just doesn’t act anymore. He had surgery for throat cancer and breathes through a tube in his neck. He’s a very good painter now though.
I'm convinced that him getting Best Supporting Actor nomination was part of the joke that was this movie. Like they just kept it through.
@@ValdrianthTTRPG finally someone who thinks the same way.Meta-joke for meta-satire😂
One of the best cinematic comedies ever made. Brilliant on so many levels.
I agree 🌟
I think the ACLU sat at a prescreening of this film to rule if what RDJ did was considered "blackface," and they ruled it wasn't. Because he was playing a person pretending to be another person disguised as another person, it was a crucial part of the story, and it was damn funny they let it ride.
Actually it's NAACP, but otherwise you're correct
@@onyhow oops
this has me curious if the one person who thought it was was rachel dolezar
You trying to tell me he was a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude?
You have to check this out in DVD format with the actor's commentary. The part where Robert Downey Jr's character says he doesn't drop character until he does the DVD commentary is played out, its comedic genius. He does the voice over in the voice of the sergeant all through the movie, then once the movie reaches the point that he becomes the blonde actor he is acting as, he switches to that guys voice, and finally, when it gets to the credits and it shows Robert Downey Jr's name along side his characters, he then finally switches to his real voice. Just brilliant writing there.
He did some amazing behind the scenes stuff as kirk. It's truly crazy.
I love commentary not sure how I missed it!
Bro. Best commentary on any film ever. When Jack Black finally shows up...😅😅😅 "Oh shit! You here? I thought you was still on the way."
@@TheSkinnychef1620 I know some may consider it dorky, but I love secondary audio tracks on DVDs after I've gotten to the point I know what all is happening in the movie. I reload my own ammunition and listen to them as I'm doing it. One, well really two, of the best are on the movie Apollo 13. Ron Howard does one, as the director. The other is from Jim Lovell and his lovely wife. I don't know which track teaches you more!
@@chadro_g1145 - It may be dorky. So what? The world could use a dose more dork if you ask me. Everyone's so damn self-righteous and over-serious. Do something you enjoy and damn the rest. I'm many years and four kids removed from having the time to watch movies, let alone commentary, but if I stumble upon a vacation one of these days my wife and I will certainly check out Apollo 13. Thanks for the recommendation, brother.
Can't cancel tropic thunder, it was about how ridiculous Hollywood and actors can be. RDJ played his part so perfectly. Hilarious all the way through.
I remember seeing this in theaters when it first came out. To this day I have never heard a audience laugh so hard in a movie.
Same. My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard.
Only one that came close for me was the 1st American Pie. Never heard people laugh that loudly.
"Never mind, he dies first." "Steps on a mine immediately." "Yeah." LITERALLY FIVE SECONDS LATER: 7:26
The “how is he moving so quickly??” Had me crying real tears cuz I’ve always thought that lmao
🤣
Not a joke, Ben Stiller has been jacked since the 90s. Check out the movie Heavyweights, so good.
If any movie deserved a sequel, it was Heavyweights.
“Yo if I see another famous person….” Waits for the amazing Tom Cruise reveal lol
This cast was huge !!! 🔥
FUN FACT: In the movie RDJ’s character Kirk Lazurus says says “Man I don’t drop character till I’ve done the dvd commentary.” Well in the actual commentary RDJ is in character as Lincoln Osiris all the way until Kirk goes back to his Australian accent and then when the credits roll he goes back to himself as RDJ. Also this movie is still relevant for today because it is entirely believable that a movie studio would almost actively go out of their way to have an acclaimed, legendary actor who is white play a black man than risk hiring an unknown actually black actor play the part. And Robert Downey Jr. was actually so good at playing a black man that in the special features of the bluray Brandon T. Jackson who plays Alpa Chino said he practically treated him like a black man.
Huh? Did you just wake up from a coma?? No, that is not “entirely believable” that Hollywood would do that today - in fact, it’s the literal opposite of that. Holy shit man. What a bizarre fantasy.
This was RIGHT after Iron man. The fact that this movie actually went over as well as it did probably saved his career more than iron man did, because if people got as offended as they could have, RDJ would've ended right then and there forever lol. He was actually nominated for best supporting actor that year because this movie was so well received. He lost to Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
This movie literally saved Tom Cruise's career, not RDJ's... all the scientology beliefs & horror stories from former members that started leaking online in the mid 2000s along with all his weird couch jumping antics & that internal recruitment video had the majority of the public thinking Cruise was absolutely insane...
@@mobiusbelts3607all that Mission: Impossibling didn't hurt either. Number 3 had just come out a couple years before and was the best one they ever did. Until 4, 4 was the best one they ever did. Until 5, 5 was...
@@TheSchaef47 MI3 actually underperformed at the box office according to the studio’s projections & did little to repair Cruise’s public image; which remained tarnished for most of the 00s by his affiliation to & defense of Scientology. From the moment he yelled at Matt Lauer on the Today Show for not understanding Scientology & berated Brooke Shields for taking antidepressants in 2005, pretty much until he appeared in Tropic Thunder, Cruise was considered a weirdo by the average person that had been following the news.
@@mobiusbelts3607 he's still a weirdo. But he's the last living action star.
@@TheSchaef47 He really is great at his job.
When i watched this the first time. I literally had tears running down my face from the scene with Jack Black tied to the tree. Shit was hilarious.
...and the things he said.
27:53 is hilarious. Ive watched a lot of reactions to this movie and you're the first guys I've seen mention how fast Matthew Mcconaughey randomly starts running. When I first saw this I lost it at that.
Right no one ever notices it finally
I've literally seen this movie like 5 times including in theaters and I've never noticed this lmfao. Perfect.
Ben Stiller is ALWAYS ripped, he is a very big fitness enthusiast and is constantly exercising. He’s played a fitness nut villain in 2 movies, Heavy Weights and Dodgeball. Also as per your question of how many stars are in this, Family Guy took a shot at him at how he needs all these stars for his movies to be successful and said stars that will be in his next movie and listed like 50 names
The reason Matthew McConaughey was moving so fast at the end was because in the original ending he was meant to be caught, and he and the little kid leader were going to be watching the Oscars at the very end. But test audiences reacted negatively to that, so they changed it.
It took me and my buddies half way through the movie to realize that Les was Tom Cruise, this is by far one of the best comedies to ever exist. I really hope Jamie Foxx releases All-Star Weekend, that shit would be gold!
My favorite line, "look at you, you more cut than a julienned salad. How you do it, man? You got some tips, you got some tips..... give me that g'damn map!" Best stuff ever!
🤣🤣 he’s such a goat for this role !
The Behind the scenes commentary for this movie is almost as funny as the movie itself. Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. Also as he said in the movie RDJ stays in character with the voice of who he is on the screen. It’s so fun to listen to
I'm so glad ya'll mentioned the Matthew McConnaughey part at the end with the Tivo. I always found that shit hilarious how he just moved like an animated gazel on speed. It made no sense for him to suddenly be there, then to just run into the woods never to be seen again. It was the perfect nonsense ending for that bit.
Had my cheeks hurt lol
That's why he took the deal from Less, to get the G5 to fly there
Ben Stiller was more or less playing all of those action heroes who makes one sequel after another,like Stallone Jack Black was playing an Eddie Murphy type actor who played every role like Murphy did in The Nutty Professor and Robert Downey Jr was basically playing a Russell Crowe type actor
Robert Downey Jr, did his whole DVD commentary in character as Lincoln Osiris, just like he said in the movie. Pure Genius!
This movie is stacked with great actors, I didn't even recognize tom cruise until the second time I watched it but he is so fucking hilarious in this
The whole time Jack was playing the heroin addict.. But people forget that back in the 90's Robert D Jr. had a huge issue with Heroin, so when he say's feeling a little flu'ish.. He really knows what he is talking about.. He went to jail over drug's And made a huge come back in the 2000's when He got clean... A lot of younger People don't know that he battled with drug's for half his life... All people know about him now is that he's Iron man.. Not kicking his back in just making the point of his come up and come back from a drug that kills most people..
"I basically did no research into addiction or withdrawal or any of that. I just kinda came on set and made some stuff up." -- Jack Black in the DVD commentary, describing his acting method.
Seriously, RDJ did one of the best acting jobs I've seen in a long time. He had the mannerisms of a 60s brother down to a "T". Ben Stiller did a good job as a guy cracking up too. He could have been a good serious actor too, in addition to comedy!
When you guys said “I feel like he’s about to die” about Steve Coogan in the beginning, I couldn’t wait for you to get to the landmine scene 😂
Was wild fam lol
This movie is sheer perfection - so much fun; for Ben Stiller classics it's in the same group as Zoolander.
I'd put this over Zoolander
@@kylecook7187 yeah this film is way smarter than zoolander
Robert Downey Jr nailed his part of this show. Sort of 😅
Favorite character 100%
Robert Downey Jr. Killed it. The satire was hilarious with all of them. Jack Black was great as well
You can always tell a true reaction vid with this movie when the reactors get lost with the sneak previews at the beginning.
Lmao legit thought I downloaded the wrong file 🤣
27:53: Rick got the idea when talking to Les, remember when he said 'leave him to die for some money and a (fill in model) aeroplane ?' Thats when he figured he could take the jet and the money and use said jet to fly overseas and go help Tugg.
a true friend right there!
But I thought that hinged on Tugg dying and them collecting the insurance money.
@@NandR I figured that was the plan, so basically Les forwarded that stuff from his own bankroll and then planned to get it back from the insurance payout. Rick foiled that and Les got the payout from Tropic Blunder instead, so that also didn't hurt him. Im my opinion, it was never really dependent on Tugg dying, that was just an 'shut the fuck up and let the dice fall as they may' bribe, that showed us the character of the two men involved.
McConaughey dipping at the end so damn fast is probably the funniest part of this movie
I think most people are Ok with his black face because it is not making fun of black people but making fun of black face itself. The "What do you mean 'YOU people'??" line gets this point across and is probably the best line in the movie.
The Tom Cruise thing - the hands were his own idea, I think he said once. And yes - when recordings of his rant came out, people immediately commented 'He just went full Les Grossman on them' :D
Love that RDJ actually did the dvd commentary in character lol
Which character? Remember he was technically three characters in the movie.
@@gilessaint-loup2426 Sgt. Lincoln Osiris
@@gilessaint-loup2426 he does the commentary as Lincoln up until he goes back to being Australian in the movie… then he switches to Australian up until the end credits where he then goes back to his normal voice. It’s hilarious
Can't wait to see you guys reacting to: "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" - it is comedy gold.
I got these cheeseburgers man...
If RDJ got his own show or movie as Kirk Lazarus I’m 100% watching 😂
Almost nobody notices Mcconaughey sprinting off super quick right back into the jungle, it's a fantastic little detail. As for the 'blackface', they were very apprehentious about going ahead with it, and test-screened it before, to make sure the interpretation landed as intended. The crucial part is the interaction between RDJs character and BTJs, with them both stating outright why it's happening, and the latter clearly voicing his displeasure with the situation. As always, context is what matters
Had us dying fam 🤣🤣
Lol always loved him just jetting off back in the jungle like a wild man
“He dies first, steps on a mine”……..immediately steps on mine and explodes 😂
Dope reaction, guys! This is exactly how this movie was meant to be received, and WAS for a while, before all the nonsense. Comedy's got no boundaries, and no one demographic is "safe" in this. Which also makes it relatable to just about everybody. I feel like Tropic Thunder is much like South Park or Chappelle's Show, where the joke's on everybody. I think this movie is just objectively funny, unless you hate comedy. lol Got a sub here!
"They always make Ben Stiller a leader"... that's cuz Ben Stiller usually writes, directs, produces or some combination of the 3... He gives himself a lot of work. I mean, hell honey go get it as far as I'm concerned.
I really appreciate what you had to say about Jack Black. I've seen him in some serious roles, esp in smaller films, [there are hints of his talent in even his biggest/silliest roles for anyone paying attention] the man can fucking *act.* Period.
Facts !!! Love him 💪🏽 he needs more appreciation
A cool story about him is when they started filming school of rock the parents thought he'd be some crazy dude... But he was amazing to the kids and their parents
I agree!! ❤
Hearing you say, “if I see another famous person…”, with me knowing who is still coming on screen made me subscribe on the spot. Great video :)
this is one of the most quotable movies of all time. ben stiller is a genius
Ben Stiller wrote, directed, improved all this movie. His whole family is from comedians. Remember in Seinfeld, Ben Stiller's dad was George Costanza's father. Both his father and mother were comedic hits back in the day so he grew up with comedy all around him.
Ben's mom was in great comedic movie in the late 60's. The out of Towner's. Great movie! Co-starred with the great Jack Lemon!
HOLY CRAP!!! I just realized that RDJ broke the fourth wall with his "I'm a dude, playing a dude disguised as another dude."
This movie seemed to be a savage takedown of Hollywood, Actors, and the "Fame" industry. Loved it
"I killed the thing I like most in the world" " A Hooker? You killed a Hooker?"
One of the most densely layered comedies ever made. So much going on, and it's all great.
That kid, Tran, was also in an episode or two of community. He plays a kid hired by Abed to play the Spanish teacher, Chang in one of his videos. Chang is played by Ken Jeong and the kid is absolutely hilarious as him!
Nice ! Might have to check that out ! Thanks Sarah !
I love Jack Black, too. It's a shame how actors who start with comedy don't get the recognition from their roles, even the serious ones. And that also is the subject that JB touches in this movie.
Tropic Thunder is my favorite comedy movie ever. It has the funniest and most memorable lines ever. The whole cast kills it.
Gotta check out Dodgeball for high tier Ben Stiller. Great "just have a good time" movie!
Unfortunately we’ve both seen that but I am showing my girlfriend it on the channel she has not so it’s coming anyway!!
This is perhaps Cruise's best performance ever.. This movie is one of my favorite comedies, likely in top 10, but shit like that's hard to rank as it can be a mood thing. Have you guys watched Team America or perhaps Paul ? Both are hilarious :)
RDJ is so good in this , a classic riff on the way Hollywood portrays, black gruff side characters . Lol I still laugh about him in jail making friends with the black guys inside . People need to pick their enemies and shit that is really offensive . Team Cruise
“It’s actually worse to kill a Panda… No?” LMAOOOO immediately subscribed
A white American, playing an Australian actor playing a black soldier disguised as an Asian farmer.
The funny thing is, I think RDJ actually got nominated for an Oscar for this movie lol
If you want your minds blown watch this with the commentaries on from Stiller Black and Downey Jr . It is 2x the fun I swear it is pure gold.
ben wrote, acted, and directed this one. legend
In an interview with Joe Rogan; RDJ said his character was first offered to Sean Penn by Ben Stiller; but Penn refused (thankfully) ~ I think the Sean Penn insult about going full retard and not taking home an Oscar could be a stab at him for rejecting the role
Ben Stiller was probably the leader because this was his movie. He wrote it and directed it.
Not only is this movie totally hilarious, it has an all star cast. It’s one of my favorite comedy movies. Good Boys is hilarious too, you should do a reaction to that if you haven’t already.
Tom Cruise in this is easily my favourite of all his performances. Was even better first time I watched as I didn't even know it was him until the credits!
watching it in theatres, everyone was clapping when the credits rolled. then the tom cruise portion came on nd the theater lost its mind! mine included. holy shit
Same.
since it came out, it stills holds up as my favorite comedy ever made. from the jokes in the writing & performances, to the stakes of the story building up like a south park episode, even to the point that the whole movie it self is a joke making fun of Hollywood and those making it is amazing.
I remember going with a girl I liked to this movie and literally forgetting she was there til the end. I was crying from laughter. I kinda feel bad for her thinking back.
What I miss most about the Army is Jungle Boots. I loved my Jungle boots. They were an authorized boot. I wore them out in Germany. They were with the green nylon. Then a bit before our unit went to Iraq, I had to replace them, but you couldn't get the green nylon, it was black nylon. I loved those green nylon Jungle boots. I think we were issued desert sand Jungle boots, but as I actually paid for the green nylon Jungle boots, maybe they meant more, but they were so comfortable.
This is probably one of the best movies I've ever seen and completely agree with you on Jack Black he's SO underrated
Rdj really did the dvd comentary in character too. It was so funny. All the others actors were crackin up
By far one of my favorite comedies. It actually gets better every time I re-watch it.
Some added fun, J-lo and Ludacris performed the ending song at the MTV music awards, with Tom Cruise…dressed as Les Grosman. Tom held his own dancing right next to JLo
That smile on RDJ's face during the scene at 18:35 is him legitimately not being able to keep his shit together during the scene. From what I had heard when they did the scene he forgot his line and muttered out "I don't read the script the script reads me" and his co-actors reaction was improved as well as RDJ's stammering outburst and he couldn't for the life of him keep from laughing. Oh and in regards to the panda thing, Panda's are an extremely endangered species. Panda's were supposed to go extinct a long time ago, but because humanity kept meddling in the affairs of nature, the species is still around. Nature is trying to get rid of them though, hence why Pandas themselves no longer fuck and the only way they get them to breed is through artificial insemination. Without that Pandas would of literally ate themselves into oblivion a long time ago.
RDJ revealed in the DVD extras, while in the makeup chair, that Iron Man was going to be a trilogy, I remember jumping out of the bed when I heard that.
Dead honest. this video was suggested to me by KZhead because i watch alot reaction videos.first time watching you guys videos and it won't be the last. you guys have reactions. Watch a few more already and each one as funny as the next.
People pretend this was controversial. Truth is people loved it when it came out.
8:47 True to his word, RDJ did stay in character for the actual DVD commentary 😂🤣
true about Jack Black being underrated as an actor. It hit home for me the most in the Jumanji movie remake.. he stole the whole damn movie with his performance. no small feat since both kevin hart and the rock brought their A-game
I agree ! Movie was actually pretty damn good ! I didn’t expect it to be
Saw this in theaters. This and Step Brothers were some of the best laughs from an audience
I remember when this movie came out it was one of the funniest movies I can remember. Simpler times
The joke isn’t the blackface. It’s the guy who is blissfully unaware. It’s the whole way they get to make fun of Hollywood aloofness. RDJ isn’t playing a black guy. He’s playing a clueless white guy It’s meta af.
Ben Stiller wrote and directed this, ofcourse he’s the leader 😂
I mean I didn’t know that lol and I was saying he’s the lead role in EVERY movie he does not just this one
@@mrflickswatches Tbf check those ones he’s the lead, maybe he directs those too 😂
@@mrflickswatchesEver seen happy gilmoure? He aint main character in that
7:03 - 7:40 that is The. Funniest. reaction to that part of the movie I've EVER seen "black guy dies first" " never mind it's this guy" " Boom" [one millisecond later] **BOOOOM** LMAO well done
I don’t usually comment on vids but this is the first time I’m watching y’all and I love the energy. Keep uploading. Y’all got amazing entertainment value.
Thank you homie I appreciate you 🌟
fun fact during the mtv movie awards in 08, tom cruise did a live dance performance in character it's amazing.
This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. It's just plain ridiculous fun. This film, muh-muh-made me happ-eh!
Was great seeing you guys laugh rather than get triggered like so many others this movie is stupid funny
Yeah bro we’re not sensitive over here lol we had a great time and this movie is lit 🔥
@@mrflickswatches Think you guys could handle *(Blazing Saddles)* especially if you know the point of the movie is to make racist look like dumb Or *Ralphie May (Just Correct)* at Da Big Black Comedy Show *kzhead.info/sun/n8aiZ7uxkKuNpoU/bejne.html* was an equal opportunity offender he tacked all groups & was funny doing so *#RIP** Ralphie May*
@@CaddyJim bet !!
Lol I’ve never seen a real person get offended by this
@@Jiff321 🤣Because most real people would know what the movie is commenting on
Speaking of "This Is the End", there's at least one connection between this movie and that one. In "This Is the End", when Danny McBride sees Jay Baruchel, he tells him it's good to see him. This is the only movie they had been in together to that point, and the only reason why the two actors would know each other personally.
Nice !!
yea thats another actor overload movie im guessing actors really like doing comedies ever notice in comedies so many big actors that join in
@@eibbor171 In more serious movies, actor overload can dilute the movie, the different actors become the spotlight and the actually story takes a back seat. With comedies you dont really have to worry about that, and more famous actors just adds to the crazyness. You can have a good movie with a lot of big names of course but i feel like its more effort to not mess up the tone. Im not in the movie industry, im jsut guessing, i could be wrong, but i do think this is one big reason.
@@mrflickswatches Have you seen Seth Rogan’s animated movie? Sausage Party I think it’s called? That shit was hilarious. Many parents brought their kids to the movie theater for it, having no idea it was for adults.
“I'm a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude!” 😭
Love it 🤣
Bruh..... Ben Stiller is the leader in this movie because he actually wrote this movie. Ben also directed this movie. Facts.
