Apparently the “Simple Jack” idea was a joke about how Ben Stiller auditioned for Forest Gump
Makes sense!
The look and the way he said "someone said they were close to me" really hit hard. Story of my life lol
This movie never gets old lol. Loved the reaction!
Thank you!
An interesting fact about one cast member in the film. Nick Nolte who plays Sgt 'Four Leaf' Tayback, the fake Vietnam veteran that the 'Tropic Thunder' film-within-a film is based on, was actually arrested in the 60s during the early years of the Vietnam War for selling counterfeit draft ID cards. He was ordered to pay a $75,000 fine and got a suspended 45 year prison sentence. Because of the conviction, he couldn't join the military and so he missed out on going to Vietnam which apparently he's always regretted, but I personally think he dodged a bullet, so to speak. So I think the character of Tayback is loosely based on Nolte himself in that they both didn't go to Vietnam, except they added the 'stolen valor' angle for the Tayback character. To me this story makes the character even funnier and I give a lot of credit to Nolte for taking on the role and making fun of himself like that.
Great piece of trivia!
“Programme a vcr?” Of course. I used to keep mine scheduled to all the late night sitcoms and watch a 6hr tape of sitcoms over the weekend.
Nice!
No, it used to be a pain to program a VCR. You need to input the channel, date, time start and time stop for every show and movie. Plan your Sunday night around getting ready for the week.
Les Grossman's hands are big because "les gros maines" means "the big hands."
That's hilarious
Steve Coogan can do acting but mainly he's famous for this Alan Partridge character and The Trip a comedy where he plays himself, reviewing fancy restaurants with a mate (Rob Brydon), with banter and impressions. both highly recommended :)
Mindhorn is a funny film I think you'd like and probably haven't seen, thats got Steve Coogan in a bit too :)
Coogan also starred with John C Reilly in _Stan and Ollie_ (2018) which is definitely worth a look.
Thanks for the suggestions!
This film is ungodly funny and really gave rise to Robert Downey Jr's big comeback. I mean, no one remembers he got an Oscar nomination for this performance. Also Tom Cruise was having so much fun with this character and single handedly stole the show. This almost defeats Zoolander as Ben Stillers best movie, imho. What are your guys favorite Robert Downey Jr movie?
Don't really know him too much outside of the MCU honestly
@@TheMovieJourney should check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, A Scanner Darkly, Lee’s than Zero, and especially his Oscar nominated performance as Charlie Chaplin in the aptly named “Chaplin”.
@@clapattack7235 will do!
@@TheMovieJourney OMG do you guys even watch movies????
No one remembers he *got* an Oscar for the Charlie Chaplin biopic.
The intro scene reminds you of _Jurassic Park_ because they were both filmed at the same location - the Hawai'ian island of Kaua'i.
By the way, did you guys watch an extended version or something? It's just I noticed a few extra scenes and changes that I've never seen before in this film. .
Yeah we watched the unrated version
@@TheMovieJourney A little side note: Having seen both versions, I think the unrated version is the real culprit behind your complaints about pacing. The original theatrical version was a very tight, funny comedy. When I got around to watching the unrated version several years later, I immediately realized how it was a bit harder to watch and it really interfered with the ability to enjoy the film overall.
Just one of those instances where it was edited for more reasons than just rating, it seems
This movie is such a great takedown of Hollywood.
Ben Stiller and Jack Black have been in quite a few projects together, actually. The best is a TV show "Heat Vision and Jack," which never aired, but you can find it on RUclips. Also starring Owen Wilson as a talking motorcycle.
Nice! I might try and check it out 👍🏼
@@TheMovieJourney
It's tough to find, and nobody reacts to it, so I'd say check it out on your own time (no upload). Still hella worth it.
“I’ll slip an extra shrimp on the barbi for you”, Paul Hogan ‘Australia tourism commercial’.
_"What are those? iPads?... *iPods"_
😐Really? Are we there _already?_ What year is it?
I’m late to this one but the DVD commentary with the cast watching and commentating on the entire film is amazing & definitely worth a watch/listen. It’s here on RUclips
Wow, the Steve Coogan disrespect! Have to recommend Hamlet 2 (some of the humor hasn’t aged well but Steve Coogan gives one of the funniest performances I’ve ever seen. He’s brilliant in The Trip, which is like a fictionalized travel documentary starring Coogan as himself. And he’s great opposite John C Reilly in Stan and Ollie. But really I know him best for showing up in supporting roles like this one in just about every Hollywood comedy.
Did that guy really say nobody watched Platoon? I guess it did take them this long to see Tropic Thunder so there is that.
Steve Coogan is very well known btw and has done quite a few movies.
I recommend "the trip" with Rob Brydon, it's an entertaining film and highlights both he and Rob's talents!
Ben Stiller made an appearance in the jack black movie Tenacious D in the pick of destiny. That’s the only movie I can think of without doing a search. Highly recommend watching it.
I'll add it to the list!
You guys watch WAY too many movies.... (as do I, obviously) you caught - or at least acknowledged - more references to other films than any other reaction video I've yet seen. Of all the 'Hollywood making fun of Hollywood' films I've seen, this may be my favorite.
The bigger a film nerd you are, the more jokes & jabs you get.
Special kudos to Tom Cruise for biting (well, at least gnawing) the hand that continues to feed him. Absolute, savage brilliance.
Hats off to everyone involved in getting this made. You have a special place in the hearts of film nerds everywhere.
Thanks guys for this insightful review. I liked AND subscribed - not because you told me to, but because I was so impressed by what I saw that I want to see more. 😁
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it mate 😊
I'm a bit in, but the fact that they've already caught the Apocalypse Now references gives me hope for a much later scene.
I just learned who Steve Coogan is from these comments. Never heard of him otherwise.
23:58 Because it's heroin, not cocaine. 🤓
Who left the fridge open?
Pretty sure you watched the extended version. The theatrical cut is much tighter in pacing.
This is correct
"Why are you ruining future Star Wars movies for me?" He doesn't have to. They already suck. Not the one he referenced but he knows what I mean.
Heroin is yellow lol
Steve Coogan - "Hamlet 2". Get on it.
THOSE TRAILERS IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE WERE BRILLIANTLY MADE BRAVO 👏 😆 "FART 2"... AND SATAN'S ALLEY 😂
Absolutely one of the greatest comedies of all-time, and unfortunately could 100% not get made today.
Also probably the best soundtrack of any comedy ever (with the exception of Dazed & Confused).
His coronation video is good
wtf? how the hell can you say it drags? Are you on heroin?
I still enjoyed your reaction even though my reaction to you saying it drags was maybe an overreaction.
😂
We maybe meant to say 'drugs' perhaps 😁
Cool reaction. The movie isn't perfect, as you say, the drama drags a little bit, but overall it's hilarious and pretty unique.
"No one watch Platoon", is that what you said? =__=
We've got a blackface, a character who says "retarded", yes, it must be a nightmare for woke people. :D
Ben Stiller had a cameo in the Tenacious D video "Tribute".
If you thought this was hilarious, you need to listen to the DVD commentary. Downey stayed in character.
That would be great to listen to!
He was in the movie
@@cbasa97 They had asked if Jack Black and Ben Stiller had been in anything else. I know that he was in the movie -- he wrote and directed it, as well as starred in it.
@@charleslee8313 I'm talking about the tenacious d movie
@@charleslee8313 so not just a cameo in the tribute music video, but the actual PoD movie
Is Paul Hogan really considered a national treasure?
Probably not anymore
u should watch some alan partridge if u dont know steve coogan
You guys have obviously never seen Envy...which is a great Ben Stiller and Jack Black duo.
Nope! But I have heard of that movie now that you mention it 👍🏼
Satan's alley is accurate
Most directors cuts drag...the theatrical cut has a better pace... And btw, you do sound like that.
🤣
This movie would never get made today.
Agreed!
Makes it even more special.
Like it or Not this movie...we want sequel 🤣
Agreed!
@@TheMovieJourney probably Never Happen again cause so many Big Stars In the movie
@@acevergel1999 yeah fair enough
🇺🇸 Simple Jack 2024! 🇺🇸
Love this movie. I grew up in the nineties, so this isn't even that offensive to me, even now (rewatched it maybe six months ago). Genius concept, so original. Can't help but feel like a lot of the jokes were phoned in, but something like this probably would've been a nightmare to actually WRITE, so the half-assed nature of it somehow actually makes it funnier. The irony of big name Hollywood actors trying to convince the audience that they're just regular people, by PRETENDING that they're super-fake is hysterical to me. Robert Downey Jr. is brilliant in everything I've ever seen him in, but that look on his face when he finds out Four Leaf has hands, after his whole identity crisis/meltdown, I could've pissed myself.
Great analysis mate 👍🏼
Wow. You guys barely talked after the movie was over. Kinda lame. Also, the only reason why anything dragged is because you watched the director's cut. The theatrical version is perfect.
We did a full review over on our podcast themoviejourney.podbean.com/
And the directors cut dragged. So what's your point?
Too bad you were too refined to laugh at some of the jokes. Enjoyed the reaction, otherwise.
