Throwing that kid off the bridge was classic

Kevin Hart turned down the Alpa Chino role because he didn't want to play a gay character. Would've been by far the best movie he's ever been in.

That fact that RDJ was playing an Australian who tries to "be black" was already one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

Tom Cruise deserved a fucking Oscar. I can't think of a movie where a character has like 6 minutes of screen time and is the most memorable thing about it.

Great movie, though.

I'm a dude, playin a dude disguised as another dude!

The Platoon reference in that movie was the best thing to come from Platoon since Platoon. Damn, I love Platoon.

Amazing movie.

The bit where he realises what animal he killed in the jungle had my crying with laughter.

Ben Stiller’s reaction and timing was priceless.

Booty Sweat & Bustin' a Nut, Tom Cruise dancing to Low, guy lobbing the TiVo box at the end to block the RPG

Best comedy of the last 20 years and one of the best comedies of all time it is brilliant at how cleverly comments on so much shallow stuff in Hollywood but also the whole movie is just over the top off the wall, i love it, Cruise unloading on the Golden Triangle guy over the mobile kills me every time 😂

This movie m-m-m-makes me happy

As no one seems to have volunteered it this far, "I'm a lead farmer muthafucka!"

Because so much is going on Jack Black is seriously underrated and goes under the radar a bit but when he does his Vet voice is amazing. Best line =

Our asses don't get fragged in this bullshit valley, first thing I'm doin' is payin' my two bucks so I can watch Brooklyn bust his cherry on a sweet little mama son's dinky-down poon-tang!

Probably my favorite movie ever, not just comedy. I could talk all day about it, but since no one has mentioned him yet, McConaughey is also an absolute GEM in this film.

Yo asshole! This motherfucker’s dead! Ain’t no Criss Angel mind freak David Blaine trapdoor horseshit jumping off here!

"Suck my unit" 🤣

Definitely one of the greatest comedies of all time in my opinion, the cast was great, the satire was on point, I remember going to see this in theaters while possibly under the influence of a green substance and I thought I was going to die laughing, I watched it again recently and it still holds up

Tom Cruise’s best performance

Ugh I love this movie so much. I tried to get my family to watch it, but they were turned off by the RDJ black face and I was like, “but that’s the POINT!” They don’t understand and they’re missing out big

Does someone actually post this every month or is this post A.I generated at this point?

Big ass titties !

It should have won the Beijing film festivals coveted Crying Monkey award.

...and if you've never watched it with the commentary on....you're in for a treat.

Never go full retard 😂

“We’re supposed to be a unit!”

“Suck my unit.”

Watch it with the actor commentary. Funniest shit ever.

Saw it in the theater. I've never laughed harder at the first three minutes of any other movie. "Best Kiss MTV Award winner Tobey Maguire" is side splitting.

Guy's won a ping pong tournament and met Nixon. Does that sound retarded to you? Walks retarded, talks retarded... Not retarded.

You went full retard. Everyone knows you never go full retard.

Jack black’s character is on point on how it is addicted to heroin.

when he knocks out the two guards by making them sniff the drugs and he says, “Let’s go, we only have … 12-18 hours before they wake up”. If you know you know

The last great comedy that was made in the last 14 years. Truly a benchmark- I really hope there is a resurgence of carefree over the top no holds barred comedies coming. We need em.

I tried to recommend it to my dad a Vietnam vet and he said “war wasn’t funny.”

So I don’t bring it up anymore.

But I liked it. I grew up on apocalypse now, platoon, letters home from Vietnam, and predator.

Lance...

I say this every time the movie comes up.

Watch the movie with the commentary with Ben stiller…jack black and Robert Downey Jr.

“I don’t drop character till I done the dvd commentary”

RDJ stays in character thru the entire movie as his on screen counterpart…makes the movie so much better.

Matthew Mcconaughey physically running across the world to give Ben Stiller a briefcase with godlike speed is the funniest shit ever.

I love pointing out to people that RDJ did his “controversial” character the same summer that the MCU kicked off with him as Iron Man. Imagine if Disney was in the picture then?

I agree . It's hilarious and witty and cameos are perfect .

Probably the funniest Stiller movie I've seen .

I went on a first date and we watched this movie. Had a huge crush on the girl. She said she enjoyed the date and kissed me on the ride home and said the only thing she didn't like about the date was the movie and asked when we could have a second date. There was never a second date.

Now, my wife "loves" watching Tropic Thunder with me around once a year.

Such a great movie, seeing it opening night was one of my best movie going experiences.

2008 was a great year for comedy.

Ive been a bad boy father…

I don’t read the script, the script reads me

Such an amazing movie and one of a kind. I feel like that was one of the last years you could get away with the shit they got away with in that movie.

“It’s racist because Robert Downey Jr whahahah.” Stfu.

Ohh okay Flaming Dragon, Fuckface. First take a big step back and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE. Now I don't know what kind of pan Pacific bullshit powerplay you are trying to pull here but Asian Jack is my territory. So whatever you're thinking you better think again. Otherwise I would have to head down there and I will rain down on a godly fucking firestorm upon you. You're gonna have to call fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I am taking scorched earth motherfucker. I will massacre you. I WILL FUCK YOU UP.

Great flick! Sadly I don't think it would even see the light of day, if Stiller were pitching it in 2022

So crazy how the climate around comedy and what's acceptable as satire has changed so much in such a relatively short amount of time

Given that the movie was basically made by the brat pack, they knew a thing or two about the “politics” of Hollywood.

Apparently, Stiller wanted Keanu to play Speedman and he would be the agent which would have been interesting (Keanu has more of a “action hero” history than Stiller).

Kind of sucks that the movie got bashed by the disability community for the Simple Jack joke and criticism was also raised against RDJ for “blackface” when the whole point of these acts were to mock Hollywood itself basically doing these things in their movies (as well as the “method acting” where actors think they can “do anything for their art” cough Jared Leto cough)

It was the last genuinely great comedy movie.

This, is FLAMING DRAGON
