And Yes, RDJ did the accent thru the entire DVD commentary.

George giggling uncontrollably is so contagious! I'm sure Tom Cruise enjoys doing his action stunts and the money it brings, but man if only he did more roles like this.

Friendly reminder, RDJ was nominated Best Supporting Actor for this. He was AMAZING. And considering that this was the same year Iron Man came out, 2008 was definitely his big comeback year. And we are forever grateful for it. ❤️

The "actors are put in real life situations like their movies" genre has so many gems. This, Galaxy Quest, The Three Amigos.

Comedies really demonstrate why having at least two people is such a good format for reactions. It's hard to control the laughter when the person next to you is cracking up.

Robert Downey Jr was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in this movie!

When I saw this in cinema I didn't actually recognise Tom Cruise until his name appeared in the credits. My whole torso was already sore from laughing, and so that realisation almost killed me.

11:31 "Why are you still in character?" "I don't drop character until I've done the dvd commentary" lmao it's funny because in real life Robert Downey JR didn't break character until the end of the real dvd commentary haha

In my opinion. This is the greatest comedy/satire film ever made. Everyone completely killed their respective parts!

I don't think I've laughed at any film in the theater as hard as I laughed at Tropic Thunder - they even had the volume turned up so you could still hear it over the constant laughter from the audience.

So two things: 1) In the theater, there was absolutely no break between the actual trailers and the fake ones. It went straight from some Jason Bourne type trailer to "I LOVE THA PUSSY!!!!" and it was the most awkward, uncomfortable silence I've ever experienced in a theater, until everyone finally got what the hell was happening. It was glorious. 😂 2) You HAVE to watch ¡Three Amigos! after this. It's a very similar plot, if you mixed it with The Seven Samurai. So freaking funny.

The part with the kid stabbing Tug and then him throwing him off the bridge might be the hardest I've ever seen you guys laugh lol

"I don't read the script. The script reads me." That was my favorite line. The DVD commentary line -- you have to hear Downey do commentary for this movie. It's hilarious.

Given that it's nearly 15 years old now, it's very pleasing how well this has held up.

Apparently the Simple Jack idea was from Ben Stiller’s audition for Forest Gump which was…interesting 😅

The look on your face when George said "He looks like a Lance" was priceless

"stroke the shaft, work the pipe, swallow the gravy" never fails to make me laugh, the delivery is 💯

I will contend that this is a top 10 comedy of all time. The jokes, the cameos, the social commentary; all of it is on point. When he yeets that child off the bridge, I laugh out loud EVERY time.

Love this film SO much. They'll never make one like this again

The thing about the fake trailers at the beginning, is that they perfectly synced right in with the actual trailers when this movie was in theaters. It took a few minutes to figure out that the movie had started, because my buddy and I were confused af when these goofy previews played

"Never go full retard" is absolutely a thing in Hollywood, although I doubt it was ever said like that. Some reviewers had their mind blown by how accurate that was. This movie is a masterpiece for that scene alone.

"He ain't playing God, He's being judged by him" was my favorite line hahaha🤣😂🤣

"For 400 years, that word has kept us down" That's one of my favorite comedic scenes of any movie!

Robert Dowdy Jr was not joking. He actually did the DVD commentary in character. It's absolutely hilarious.

Oddly enough this is my favorite Tom Cruise role. Simply because it shows his range 😜

Just seeing the reaction to the Bridge scene just made my day. Also I'm glad you kept the A Panda/Amanda part in with Matthew McConaughey, one of my favourite lines which usually gets cut in other reactions.

I love how Tom Cruise told the casting director that he specifically wanted to have fat hands and to dance, its almost like there was specific studio hack that he was imitating that he really didn't like - which makes all his scenes so much funnier when you consider they're also personal diss tracks to some awful hollywood exec somewhere who's just like that. I'm not sure if it's meant to be actually Harvey Winestein or someone else, but its still great

RDJ and Brandon Jackson's scenes give me life because the frustration Brandon's character feels is so real. It's so aggravating seeing people pretend and I can't stop laughing when he's like wtf are doing???

"I DON'T READ THE SCRIPT, SCRIPT READS ME" BEST LINE IN CINEMA HISTORY

Tom Cruise's role and last dance are the greatest acting performances he has ever done.

Hands down the funniest movie I've seen.

Freaking masterpiece. I think Matthew McConaughey may quietly be the funniest one, but among everyone else that's a tall order.

Thanks for keeping in so many good jokes and lines that some others tend to edit out. Especially the “You talking to me this whole time?” And “we only have 16 hours before they wake up” such simple throwaway lines but those are two of my favorites for some reason.

This movie is so dang good. RDJ's character and performance are just... top notch. He's so good.

I remember my son watched this the day it was released. I hadn’t heard of it yet. He would NOT shut up about it. So I took both my daughters with me to watch it the next day. This is one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen. RDJ should have won the academy award for his role. He was nominated but he should have won. He was amazing, as were all of the main actors. 🔥

I'm SO GLAD you guys allowed yourselves to laugh and understood the movie for what it was. Great reaction!

i love Jon Voight's little cameo at the Oscars scene... he was overlooked for real oscar and his face in this when he's overlooked again is priceless

Reggie Lee, the actor that played the Flaming Dragon dude with the hilarious facial expressions while on the phone with Les Grossman was also super funny in the TV show Grimm. Great comedic timing.

Brandon T. Jackson playing off RDJ was probably my favorite parts of this film.

Yess more comedies please, these are great 😂 Another comedic movie you might want to check out where Hollywood actors are thrown into a "real life" dangerous situation is This Is The End also starring Jay Baruchel & Danny McBride along with Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson & James Franco.

Amazing cast all around. Kudos to Ben Stiller's direction. Knew he was talented but to be able to direct all this mega talent...just wow.

Tom Cruise is hilarious in this movie. Him and RDJ are the best. Glad you guys found it hilarious too. I saw it in theaters back in 2008.

I love the Stormlight reference “Shallan” when he’s having the identity crisis!

That collective reaction people had in the theater when Lance appeared. It either flew over people's heads or was the funniest part

I have never seen George laugh so hard and so long, I was looking forward to his reaction the bridge scene, and man was I not disappointed.

All these years I never realized that Stiller wrote this with Justin Theroux and Ethan Cohen from the Coen Brothers! There's a notch on those guys' belts I never even knew existed!

I've seen countless times. Both movie & the reactions, but the name "Tropic Thunder" already makes me giggles like little girl every time I hear it. That's how epic this was. Classic Comedy.

Watching you guys laugh uncontrollably to this was everything I needed today. This is now one of my favorite reactions ever. Great stuff you two!

My favorite Tom Cruise performance is Les Grossman. Also, the character was heavily based on Harvey Weinstein; I'm not joking

The parodies in this movie are HILARIOUS!! Didn't recognize Tom Cruise until I read the credits, so I rewound the tape. Tom in a "fat suit" and hip hop dancing was so good and so funny. His persona and dance moves were spot on. A truly funny movie by Ben Stiller. ... PEACE.

11:32 Fun fact: RDJ actually does the audio commentary in character. He breaks character during the closing credits.

I Love how Simone immediately recognized Tom Cruise

I love that they let Tom Cruise go wild and gave him total control over his character.

This is still one of the funniest movies ever made 🤣🤣 so many classic scenes that are always funny to watch over and over

One of the funniest films I've ever seen. The premise is fantastic, the performances are brilliant, and the script is stupidly funny. I saw this in the cinema on release and loved it so much I went back and took a girl on a date there, partly so I could see it again, partly to show her a great film. She didn't get it. 14 years later we're still together and I'm still not entirely sure how...

Hello CineBinge, I've never seen you two laugh at a movie this much before. It was some kind of record set.

George saying "alright alright alright" at the end. Doesnt even realise how much of a genius he is!

yeeting Half-Squat off the bridge is one of the greatest comedy moments ever

The huge hairy hands were Tom Cruise's idea, by the way. They talk about it in the commentary.

I used to make references to this movie all the time, and my dad never understood them. One day I made him watch it, and he had almost the same reaction you 2 just did. It was hysterical laughter the whole time.

Another great movie: "The Last of the Mohicans" a beautiful historical drama set during the 7 years wars between France and the UK in the americas. The score was sublime. Should have won an oscar for that!

For some reason, the one thing that cracks me up most in this movie is the "Simple Jack chasing a butterfly with a hammer" bit.

RDJ does the DVD commentary for this movie in character and as soon as the movie is over he switches to the Australian accent. He's so great.

It was SO much fun watching you guys watch this. I saw it in the theater (where the fake ad and trailers came after the REAL ads & trailers and instantly messed with the audience). I also own this film on BluRay, but the version you watched had scenes I had never seen before. Now I'm on a quest to find the extended cut of the movie that could NEVER be made today! 😁

When Ben Stiller approached Tom Cruise about playing the part of Les, Cruise said he loved the idea and found the script hilarious. He said he had only one request and that was he wanted to dance and he wanted fat hands. I'm not sure he has ever said the reason for that but I just love his character in this because it's so different from his usual roles.

The chunky hands and the dancing were Tom Cruise's requests for him to play that role. You're right that every character played their roll perfectly.

Jack Black going through withdrawal is one of the funniest things ever. 😅

the face of the youngling panda killed, i laughed so much in theater, my girlfriend was so embarrassed. 😄

22:24 yes I think he broke there too but you can blame him. 😂

True to his word, Robert Downey Jr. stayed in character through the DVD commentary.

tropic thunder reaction is the best reaction of all time. no movie/ tv show can beat tropic thunder for reaction videos.

Fun Fact: RDJ did the voiceover for the Bust-A-Nut/Booty Sweat commercial at the beginning.

It was nice to see Alan Partridge doing something that wasn't graveyward shift radio for once.

Still one of the funniest action comedy movies ever made!!

The "I'm a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude" line has been remixed into a pretty great song. Worth checking out!

How many young people that watch this now miss that it was actually Lance from NSYNC...😝🤣😂

Y’all damn near killed me during that scene with the kid stabbing him in the back 😂😂

Every actor needs an agent like Peck.

Peep how peck is on the G5 at the end, mf agreed to les’s deal so he’d have a ride down to save the homie, man’s is a real one

I LOVE how you mentioned THE Shallan Devar from Stormlight when RDJ was talking about being nobody! Such a cool and unexpected reference

This might be my favorite reaction of yours. Great work!

I love this movie so mu-mu-much

i also loved that Tom Cruise as Lester Grossman did MTV commercials with Robert Pattinson

Fantastic reaction. Much of this movie is parodying/paying homage to classic Vietnam movies, primarily: Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter and Platoon. Happy to see you got the reference to Dog Day Afternoon! I didn't realize you guys had seen that one!

What a great parody of Hollywood. Robert Downey got an Academy Award nomination for this role but not for playing Tony Stark which came out the same year. It's always fun to watch you guys--you're awesome.

Watching Simone entertaining herself is wildly entertaining for us also. 🤗 Both of your reactions made the movie even funnier. Thanks for the great time!

My 2nd favorite comedy of all time. 1st being Airplane. That being said, my favorite comedy of this century.

Another Ben Stiller movie with a very different pace that I really like and that surprised me a lot is "The secret life of Walter Mitty" (2013). May be worth a look :-)

You both continue to be a riot during comedies. Exceptional sense of humor!

Not hard to imagine why this was my favorite movie as a high school senior when it came out

The way you edited the baby on back throw scene was funnier than the real scene.

LOL, did George seriously just say "alright alright alright" after watching a Matthew Mac movies and not pick that low hanging fruit? Masterful!

Oh, this was a great reaction. Although for a second I feared for George's life during that bridge scene. :) Keep up the great work, guys.

Possibly the single funniest thing made in my lifetime. No one is prepared for just how hilarious this movie is.

Just noticed the headline in the beginning that said the Pope blessed Les Grossman.

The acting talent is almost unprecedented. RDJ, Jack Black, Stiller, MM, Tom Cruise, Hader, Jay B, Nick Nolte, McBride. At least for a comedy. Props to Stiller and producers casting agts for making it happen

You know it’s gonna be a good day when you see that George and Simone are reacting to another comedy And what a comedy! I don’t know if Tropic Thunder has been topped in the years since it came out. It was so successful a satire that I think everyone else gave up! As for Les Grossman, he was almost entirely Cruise’s creation. Ben Stiller had shown him the script to get his general opinion, and Cruise said that they needed an extra element in there, a studio exec to act as a motivational element and an extra layer of tension. He then went on to outline his entire character, down to the fat hands and the hiphop moves, and even insisted that he not be included in the pre-release publicity, so as not to spoil the surprise. Doubly commendable, in a movie about Hollywood excess and actor self-absorption! Oh, and yeah, Downey Jr. is right - if you want that Oscar, you never go full r****d! I love that in the pics of he other Oscar nominees when Tug wins, you see Tom Hanks playing a wheelchair-bound athlete and Sean Penn is playing a blind guy!

One of the most enjoyable Tropic Thunder reactions i have ever seen! Great content as always!

Man this movie could probably not be made anymore. It's so brilliant.

The same procedure that Kirk Lazarus used was used by the actress that played "Vasquez" in Aliens.
