Tropic Thunder
Regie Ben StillerRegisseur Cockburn hat sich für seinen neuesten Film, das teuerste Vietnam-Drama aller Zeiten, die bestbezahlten Schauspieler gesichert, u. a. den blasierten Superstar Speedman, den verweichlichten Komiker Portnoy und den Charakterstar Lazarus. Um nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten optimale Ergebnisse zu erzielen, will Cockburn den Film fortan im Guerilla-Stil mit versteckten Kameras drehen. Deshalb glaubt die Schauspieler-Gruppe auch dann noch, die Kameras würden laufen, als sie im Dschungel von Drogengangstern aufgespürt werden.
Tropic Thunder Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Manuel Frangis13. April 2025I just watched Tropic Thunder, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This is one of the wildest, most over the top comedies ever made, and it still holds up as one of the funniest movies I have seen. It is insane, loud, chaotic, and totally ridiculous—but that is exactly what makes it work so well. The movie knows how crazy it is and leans into it all the way. There is nothing subtle about it, and honestly, that is the point. The story follows a group of out of touch actors trying to make a war movie, but everything goes off the rails fast. What starts as a big Hollywood production turns into something way more real than they signed up for. The whole thing is packed with satire, jabs at the film industry, and characters who are so clueless that you cannot help but laugh at every bad decision they make. Ben Stiller directed the movie and stars as the lead actor who takes himself way too seriously. He is great in the role, and his performance is totally committed. You can tell he knew exactly what kind of movie he was making, and he goes all in. Jack Black is also hilarious, playing a totally unhinged version of a comedian stuck in the jungle with no control over anything. He is loud, dramatic, and his timing is perfect. But the real standout is Robert Downey Jr. His character is one of the most controversial parts of the movie, but it is also where a lot of the sharpest satire comes from. The way he plays it is so over the top and absurd that it is clearly calling out how far actors will go to win awards or be seen as “serious.” It is a wild performance, but it is done with so much purpose and confidence that it works. He steals every scene he is in. The supporting cast is great too. There are so many side characters that make the whole movie even better. Brandon T. Jackson, Jay Baruchel, Nick Nolte, and especially Tom Cruise, who shows up in one of the most unexpected and hilarious roles I have ever seen. His character is completely out of control, and every second he is on screen is pure chaos. The movie’s sense of humor is definitely not for everyone. It pushes boundaries and is very aware that it is doing so. But if you get what it is going for, it is honestly genius. It is not just being outrageous for no reason. It is using that shock value to make fun of everything from actors to studios to how Hollywood works behind the scenes. The action scenes are also surprisingly good. For a comedy, the explosions, gunfights, and jungle settings are filmed like a real war movie. The fact that the production looks this good just makes the comedy hit even harder. I give Tropic Thunder 5 out of 5 stars because it is bold, hilarious, and completely unlike any other comedy. It is not afraid to be offensive, but it also has something to say underneath all the insanity. Overall Tropic Thunder is a chaotic, no-holds-barred comedy that somehow gets everything right. It is loud, clever, and one of those movies you will keep quoting for years. I loved every second of it.
- wonderrxjrvor 2 TagenI needed to see much more of Tom Cruise as Les Grossman that was insane. This whole thing is insane like Ben Stiller is a maniac. RDJ doing a blackface character the whole time and then breaking that character to be Irish was just crazy. This is very funny and I'm glad the one gay guy got to be gay at the very end
- Stu Fostervor 2 TagenBest and funniest movie of my era. It wouldn't be allowed today; it would hurt too many feelings. But if you want to laugh and seriously risk soiling your undergarments, watch this all-star cast kill it in this full-blown comedy.
- Dan Doctor5. März 2026Fantastic star studded cast and if you can look past the things they make fun of to the true satire then you'll get it
- no1warr1or21. Februar 2026"What do you mean, you people?"
- cannycookie27. Januar 2026It's a classic. Les Grossman is Tom cruises best ever role.
- ayayron6. April 2025Casting RDJ in blackface was a wild move
- runinhot14. Februar 2026The greatest action comedy ever made
- PatrikStar30. Juni 2025Need more Tom Cruise dancing! Can’t wait for him to make more movies like this
- Derek Schweitzer1. Januar 2026Brilliant, iconic, timeless. Jason Bateman is listed in the cast of this film.

- Richard7. Dezember 2025Tropic Thunder was pure fun from start to finish. The film’s mix of outrageous satire, over the top performances and wild action made it stand out as one of the boldest comedies of its time. It poked fun at Hollywood itself, turning the chaos of a movie set into a battlefield of egos and absurdity. One of the highlights for me was Les Grossman. His explosive energy, ridiculous dance moves and foul mouthed tirades stole every scene he was in. It was the kind of character you don’t expect but end up loving because of how completely unhinged and hilarious he is. By the time the credits rolled, I felt like I’d been on a wild ride, laughing at the absurdity while appreciating how sharp the satire was. It’s a film that doesn’t hold back and that’s exactly what makes it so memorable.
- Edwin Juarez4. Dezember 202510/10 hilarious, movie would not be made today. I miss good parody movies.
- beefdawg22. August 2025A 2000s classic. Infinitely quotable, great cast, Simple Jack is the GOAT.
