Tropic Thunder
It’s good to be back! I’ve been staying in my closet for quite some time, now it’s time to come out and play.
I’ve just finished watching Tropic Thunder and boy was it hilarious to the bones! The movie starts off with a bang as heavy-armed helicopters rained bullets and missiles to the Vietnamese army. Blood and guts were everywhere, which is kind of sweet to see; (that made me hungry)
I mean, it’s a star-studded cast with two of the Frat Pack member’s starting from Ben Stiller who plays as Tugg Speedman a fading actor star and Jack Black as Jeff “Fats” Portnoy, a drug-addict comedic star. It also includes Robert Downey Jr. as Kirk Lazarus who is a five-time Academy-Award winner.
The story goes as one Vietnam veteran’s memoir Tropic Thunder was put into the big screen and was played by prima donna actors who ruined a $4 million explosion scene without the cameras rolling, thus delaying the film even more.
A rookie director had a plan to make his movie back on track by leaving the spoiled actors in the middle of the jungle, which he installed special effects explosions & hidden cameras, filming like a “guerrilla-style". Little do they know that they are dropped in the middle of the Golden Triangle, one of the major heroin productions in Southeast Asia which is infested with bandits. As they were filming a war movie, soon they realize it isn’t a movie anymore as they are forced to become real soldiers they are portraying.
You will be surprised with faux trailers that open the film showcasing the movie’s main characters. One of my favorites features Kirk Lazarus and MTV Best Kiss Winner Tobey Maguire as two gay medieval priests with the movie entitled Satan’s Alley.
Just imagine Iron Man and Spiderman portraying as two gay guys, it’s driving me crazy!
If it’s still not funny, wait till you see Tom Cruise, (Haha!)
It’s a movie within a movie and I’ve been laughing throughout the entire film because it’s funny as hell! Wait till you see Ben Stiller get stab by a kid, funny as hell dude!
It’s a must see movie!
