I watched this tonight. Now the copy I had was a bootleg that I borrowed, but it was a pretty decent copy. I missed some of the lines, but overall it was pretty damn funny.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing when [spoiler]Ben Stiller threw the kid off his back while running over the bridge.[/spoiler] That was friggin' hilarious!!

And which guy was Tom Cruise? Like I said I had a bootleg copy...it took me awhile to realize Robery Downey Jr was the black guy.

I also nearly collapsed at that scene! Hilarious!

Tom Cruise was [spoiler]the nasty, hairy, studio executive[/spoiler]. Much as I can't stand Cruise, he was pretty damn good in this.

I recommend pleasant.

Yeah, I ended up looking on imdb to see who Cruise was. Yeah, that was a great performance. I'll have to watch it again with a real copy (once it comes out on DVD) to really get a good feel for the picture.

The whole movie was amazing...laughed so hard it hurt (and I am one of those "loud" laughers).

New respect for RDJ and Cruise. RDJ had one hell of a summer!

Yesterday was the opening day, so today I saw Tropic Thunder. Now this is one of the best comedy films as much as Hot Fuzz. Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black.....Holy s**t! I couldn't stop laughing! Especially, Robert Downey Jr.'s acting was funniest. :xd:

My favorite scene was [SPOILER]Ben Stiller threw off the kid while running on the bridge. OMG! That kid's stabbing Ben's back![/SPOILER] My butt almost fell off from seat!

I didn't realize that was Tom Cruise! Hahahahaha! What a guy!

In some ways, may favorite part was a subplot that was left out. In any other movie, there would've been some sort of romantic subplot. It probably would've occurred between Stiller's character and the cute, English-speaking mother of the little Asian toddler. Of course, such a subplot was unnecessary and distracting so they didn't put it in the film. And I loved that.

Also, I really liked [SPOILER]Stiller killing the cute little panda bear and wearing its skin.[/SPOILER]

We watched Tropic Thunder tonight. The scene on the bridge was hysterical. Jack Black was a typical[spoiler] spoiled drugged out Hollywood type.[/spoiler]. But Tom Cruise......now I hate him.....but his role as [spoiler]the director was fantastic. Even his dancing at the end to the rap music[/spoiler].......it had us laughing.

Best line [spoiler]You have hands?[/spoiler]

I loved this movie. A lot.

It's an 88 magnum. It shoots through schools.

I laughed my ass off from the first fake commercials and previews until the end.
