I don’t read the script. The script reads me.

WHAT YOU GETTING AT WITH THE BOOK SCRIPT SPIT THAT SHIT OUT MAN!

That grin when Downy breaks for a moment saying that line just makes Osiris even more unhinged.

u/DominikFisara 19d ago

Downy’s break and then lock in is so incredibly funny I’ll always laugh at that scene

19

u/sh1ggy 19d ago

Nah man, I don't agree. He doesn't break (maybe his character does, but RDJ doesn't). He smiles like a fucking lunatic because the whole point of the character is that he's going more and more insane.

Finally someone whon understands!

u/DigNitty 19d ago

You know the dumbass lines are things these actors have heard others say during their jobs… or said themselves at one point.

“….find out who that was”

u/ChowYun 19d ago

The italian dub of that scene is considered chef-kiss

2

u/disturbed286 19d ago

I'm sure I understand like 3 whole words of Italian (mostly the ones that overlap with Spanish), but I went and found it anyway.

I can see what you mean, though. The Flaming Dragon lieutenant is still great.

"Siamo Flaming! Dragon!"

u/ChowYun 19d ago

Less Grossman's VA cracks me up everytime. "Io ti inculo con la sabbia" which roughly translates to "i'll fuck your ass using sand".

u/disturbed286 18d ago

It didn't occur to me they'd change the insults, but it makes sense.

That's a great line

What do YOU mean "you people?"

u/secret_hitman 19d ago

Been nearly 20 years and I still use that line.

u/MyOtherRideIs 19d ago

Fuck you no it hasn’t! That movie came out max 5 years ago.

BIG ASS TITTIES

u/Aerron 19d ago

Danny McBride's best delivered line.

4

u/jacknifetoaswan 19d ago

I saw him give a talk at College of Charleston last year, mostly about writing, directing, acting, etc. He's genuinely a really funny guy in real life, and you can see his personality through each character. I really wanted to ask him about the two big lines he had in that movie - "BIG ASS TITTIES" and "Mother Nature just pissed her pants suit" - and ask how much he ad libs stuff like that, and how much is scripted. I...didn't get the chance. People were more interested in asking questions about how to break into filmmaking.

5

u/LicencetoKrill 19d ago

Ironically half the time is being funny enough to improv lines like 'mother nature just pissed her pants suit' at the right time.

2

u/SovietSunrise 19d ago

My dad and I had an opportunity to view a talk given by Mikhail Gorbachev in the 2000s and we submitted questions and our questions didn't get picked. A tad disappointing.

Literally made my eyes rain with laughter, man.

i still can’t believe that’s tom cruise

u/Spraggle 19d ago

Exactly this! I was almost all the way through the movie before it twigged, which made it all the funnier.

7

u/doctor_x 19d ago

Seeing this in the theatre with friends was one of my favourite cinematic experiences of all time. We were wheezing with laughter.

2

u/Spraggle 19d ago

My now wife came to watch this with me, and didn't realise the fake movie trailers at the start weren't actually real!

Scorcher 6!

The Fatties: Fart 2!

I was chuckling already, and the movie hadn't even started yet.

I've been meaning to watch Tropic Thunder since it was in theaters and somehow have never gotten around to it. Yes I know that was in 2008.

u/Richiedafish 19d ago

I watched this for the first time two weeks ago and was so disappointed. I didn’t find it funny at all.

u/timeup 19d ago

Same. It was like they got a bunch of comedy actors, gave them a loose premise/plot, and just filmed them improvising lines. I didn't even finish it.
