In the action–comedy "Tropic Thunder", Ben Stiller plays pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman, who is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever produced. Speedman sets out to Southeast Asia with a "Who‘s Who" of celebrity co–stars. They include Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), an intense, three–time Oscar®–winning actor; Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), star of the popular gross–out comedy franchise "The Fatties"; multi–platinum hip–hop–star–turned–entrepreneur–turned–actor Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson); and first–timer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel).
Soon after the production begins the actors are thrown into a real–life situation and are forced to become the fighting unit they‘re portraying, in order to find a way out of the jungle in one piece. A troupe of actors, under the impression they‘re making a Vietnam war movie, wanders dangerously in the jungle and is captured by a gang of drug lords who think the actors are narcs. This movie is a send–up of Hollywood, actors, acting, agents, directors, writers, rappers, trailers and egos.
The DVD is in stock today. The TT Blu-Ray is expected in a few days.
