Product description

Tropic Thunder (Unrated Director's Cut)

Amazon.com

It's not really a knock to say that nothing in Tropic Thunder is funnier than its first five minutes, so sly that--especially for people watching in theaters--you don't realize right away they are the opening minutes of the movie. This outrageous comedy begins with a series of fake previews, each introducing one of the main characters in the film-proper (not that there's anything proper about this film) and each bearing the familiar logo of a different motion picture studio: Universal, DreamWorks SKG, et al. Such playing fast and loose with corporate talismans verges on sacrilege, but it's an index of how much le tout Tinseltown endorses the movie as a demented valentine to itself. The premise is that the cast of a would-be "Son of Rambo" movie shooting in some Southeast Asian jungle get into a real shooting war with drug-smuggling montagnards. Don't ask--though the movie does have an answer--why such highly paid, usually ultra-pampered personnel as superhero Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), Mozart of fart comedy Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), hip-hop artist Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson), and five-time Oscar-winner Kirk Lazarus from Aus-try-leeah (Robert Downey Jr.) should be running through the jungle unattended and very vulnerable. It matters only that the real-life cast has a high time kidding their own profession and flexing their comedic muscles. Bonus points go to Stiller for co-writing the script (with Justin Theroux) and directing, and to Downey, brilliant as a white actor surgically turned black actor for his role and utterly committed to staying in character no matter what ("I don't drop character till I done the DVD commentary").

Be warned: The movie, too, is committed--to being an equal-opportunity offender. Its political incorrectness extends not only to Lazarus's black-like-me posturing but also Speedman's recent, Sean Penn–style Oscar bid playing a cognitively challenged farmboy--or, in Lazarus's deathless phrase, "going the full retard." Others in the cast include Steve Coogan as a director out of his depth, Nick Nolte as the Viet-vet novelist whose book inspired the film-within-the-film, Matthew McConaughey as Speedman's sun-blissed agent back home, and Tom Cruise--bald, fat-suited, and profane--as an epically repulsive studio head. Two hours running time is a mite excessive, but otherwise, what's not to like? --Richard T. Jameson

    Movie - 4.5

    When I first saw this in theaters, I thought it was funny. Not hilarious, but funny. However, the beauty of having a copy to watch at your own leisure makes for a much more comfortable and self-paced approach, which in the end did wonders for this comedic gem. I've always liked Ben Stiller. To me, he's a somewhat more refined version of Will Ferrell and uses a bit more "satire-goofy" style as opposed to "juvenile-goofy." In Tropic Thunder, we see a hilarious self-parody of actors acting as actors who are also.. acting. No, it's not as whimsical or intellectually jabbing as a Coen Brothers or Larry David project, but the degree of absurdity is still every entertaining to watch if you find just the right balance between all these quirky characters. Stiller does his usual thing with the insecure, thick-brained fellow just trying to find himself, while Jack Black makes for a very convincing heroin addict going off and on his highs and withdrawls. But the two performances I enjoyed the most were Robert Downey Jr.'s Kirk Lazarus and Tom Cruise's Les Grossman. Downey Jr. continues to amaze me with his various performances, and this after making Iron Man of all things. And as crazy as Cruise is off camera, I've liked him as an actor for most of his career, and he does a splendid job playing the fat, hairy, hyperactive, money-grubbing, Diet Coke-ing businessman. The story is silly, yet addicting, and the dialogue is full of great one-liners you can recite to yourself or around friends. Watch it for what it's worth and enjoy.

    Video - 4.5

    Being a sort of comedic-action movie, I was actually surprised at how great the video looked. Cinematography in particular shoots many a beautiful landscape, expressing lots of lush greens during daytime scenes, accompanied by great levels of detail and depth upon action sequences (especially on the foreground). Some of the indoor shots and night time scenes were a bit grainy, and I think the colors were just a tad softer on a few scenes that involved closeups of the actors, detracting this from a perfect rating. But given that this is more so a comedy film than action, it's definitely a well-efforted transfer by the people at Dreamworks.

    Audio - 4.5

    While presented with a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track, keep in mind that this a comedic-action movie (more emphasis on the "comedic" part), so it's important to remember how this can effect a movie's sound design. Thankfully, though, it doesn't make much of a difference at all, and they did a great job anyway. Music and helicopter effects in the opening sequence are reference quality, in my opinion. Dialogue throughout the entire film is easy to hear and understand (yes, even Downey Jr's ebonics), but I do wish they had given gunshots and explosions a little more oomph. Overall directionality is quite immersive placing every sound where you think it'd be coming from. But again, some of the action sounds were a bit more underwhelming than I wanted. If you're friends can't tell the difference, though, tell them it's reference and see how they react.

    Extras - 4.5

    While not high in quantity (perhaps an additional 25GB disc would've helped?), the special features presented are pretty fun in their own right with commentaries, "making of" featurettes, and deleted/extended scenes. I had no idea this film was 10 years in the making until they said it, but I would have to say the dividends really paid off after all this time. I also liked the Les Grossman dance test and found it hilarious to a see a half-costumed Tom Cruise booty dancing to no music. It's a fairly good amount of quality extras for just a single 50GB disc and gives you a bit of insight from all the cast and crew and should be watched at least one time through.

    Overall - 4.5

    It's not a perfect movie with perfect technical specifications, but it's close. To this date, it is by far the funniest of Stiller's movies that I've seen, and it's full of laughs all over the place. If you like quirky characters and an equally absurd storyline to suit them, then definitely give this a watch, if not at least for the faux movie trailers at the beginning.
