Pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller) is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever produced. He 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.

Special Features

Tropic Thunder touches down at the LZ and presents viewers with a enough extras to fill the belly of a Huey. The fun begins with a filmmaker commentary track featuring actor/writer/director Ben Stiller, writer and executive producer Justin Theroux, producer Stuart Cornfeld, production designer Jeff Mann, cinematographer John Toll, and editor Greg Hayden. Though the track is a bit slow, it's particularly interesting at the same time. Heavy on technical jargon and substance, each participant chimes in with their thoughts on the film, its look, script, and attitude. While the track is better suited to more technically-minded audiences, general audiences may find plenty to enjoy here, too. The second track features actors Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey, Jr. keeping his promise and remaining in-character as Lincoln Osiris/Kirk Lazarus for the DVD (Blu-ray) commentary. No beating around the bush here: this is perhaps the finest cast commentary every recorded, with Downey, Jr. stealing the show for two straight hours, even changing character where appropriate. It manages to be even funnier than the movie itself, even when it serves up some serious insights, and is an absolute must-listen.

Before the Thunder (1080i, 4:54) looks at the long evolution of the film from its inception during the boom of Vietnam War films in the mid-to-late 1980s to what the film attempts to do in its final version. The Hot LZ (1080i, 6:25) takes a look at the making of the film's opening action sequence. Blowing S#!t Up (1080i, 6:18) is a fun feature that looks at the magic behind movie explosions. Designing the Thunder (1080i, 7:31) examines the challenges of building the film's various sets. The Cast of 'Tropic Thunder' (1080i, 22:12) features cast and crew members discussing the characters portrayed and the strengths brought to the project by Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey, Jr., Brandon T. Jackson, Jay Baruchel, Danny R. McBride, and Nick Nolte. Rain of Madness (1080i, 30:00) is a mockumentary of "the making of a Hollywood nightmare" that was Tropic Thunder, or the movie as portrayed in Tropic Thunder, anyway. The pseudo-documentary examines the made-up true story behind the fictitious film as portrayed in the real film. Confused yet? This is a fine feature, itself a parody on the famous Heart of Darkness documentary that chronicled the creation of the Vietnam War classic Apocalypse Now.

Moving along, viewers find Make-up Test With Tom Cruise (1080p, 1:34). Here, Tom Cruise is seen in his bald-headed make-up dancing to a hip-hop track. The feature is preceded by an optional introduction by Ben Stiller and editor Greg Hayden (1080i, 1:12). Two deleted scenes -- Water Buffalo Wrestling (1080p, 1:35) and Speedman Unpacking His Backpack (1080p, 1:44, with optional commentary) are next. Two extended sequences -- Snorkels (1080p, 3:30) and Eight Minutes in Hell (1080p, 8:03), this time both with optional commentary, are included. Also available is an alternate ending (1080p, 3:29). Once again, these deleted and extended scenes and alternate ending are preceded by a short introduction with Ben Stiller and editor Greg Hayden (1080i, 1:55). Full Mags (1080p, 11:14) is a magazine's (not of a rifle or pistol, but of film) worth of raw footage shot for the film. The feature is again presented with an optional introduction from Ben Stiller and Greg Hayden (1080i, 0:53). MTV Movie Awards - 'Tropic Thunder' (480p, 4:06) is a hilarious vignette created for the MTV Movie Awards. Concluding the supplements is Paramount's BD-Live functionality, which was not yet available at time of writing.
