It took me forever to learn, that black guy is played by a white guy. Robert Downey Jr.

Tropic Thunder came out the same year as Iron Man. They say there’s no coming back, but RDJ had this role as the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude, and still got Tony Stark for the next decade and a half.

This is still one of the best movies ever made. It makes fun of everything and everyone.

Sean Penn had to have lost his shit laughing when he saw that scene.

One of the greatest satires of the movie business ever

Matthew McCaunaughey doesn’t get mentioned enough in this film. Dude was straight hilarious in his role. From his “troubled” kid to the advice of hiding a hookers body (panda NOT Amanda)

This scene makes no sense to anybody who hasn’t seen the movie
That movie will never happen again. You could never get Tom Cruise to act like himself on screen again.

The absolute tight rope RDJ walked in this movie was award worthy.

One weekend I mixed up Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. Easy mistake. Two totally different movies.

It always amuses me that the joke of his character flies over people’s heads that he’s a spoof of Daniel Day-Lewis and other hardcore method actors and just cut straight to the point that “the movie is racist.”

Angers me when people get mad at this scene for not understanding that it’s poking fun of how Hollywood uses mental disabilities as Oscar bait

Every time I see this I know it’s RDJ but I can’t get over how he nailed this look and voice

Everything about this movie is perfect. It also happens to be the best Tom Cruise performance ever. “Why don’t you take two steps back and fuck your own face!”

Same thing happened to Leo DeCap after Gilbert Grape

Movie is absolutely gold.

RDJ got a pass and turned it into a passport.
I love the humor of this era
