Better buy a copy of that and Blazing Saddles. Use cash, buy it out of town, and then hide it well so the thought police don't get you.

I lost my copies of Tropic Thunder and Blazing Saddles in a tragic boating accident.

Downey played that part so well...I think he's really black and been putting on white face for all his other roles.

Downey said people were more angry about simple jack than him in black face.
ETA: This is the first time I've seen this.

Because his role was making fun of people doing blackface. It’s a meta joke.
You’re not meant to laugh at the white dude playing to black stereotypes. You’re meant to laugh at the white dude thinking he’s pulling off being black. That’s why they have the real black guy there to riff against each other and put him in his place per se.

No, because Jamie Fox said he was good

You haven’t fully enjoyed Tropic Thunder until you’ve watched it with the commentary on.

I think since it was making fun of it, it has a pass.

You do realize Downey's entire character was shaming blackface right?

So now context matters?

I dunno.
Do you really think Tropic Thunder can be taken away? It's a freaking movie. I have a copy of it.

Jaime Foxx said it was ok so it trumps what black people thing. Foxx says you need to give comedians room to be creative and nothing is off limits.
Posted on 6/26/20 at 12:55 am to LSU6262
You don’t get the joke.

The commentary is almost as funny as the movie.
