you know there were alot of homages in there, like when Ben Stiller was taking off his make-up like Robert did in beginning of Chaplin or when the bridge blew and Stiller went flying like Tom did in Mission Impossible 3.
true stuff, i didnt know who robert downey jr. was before this movie came out, i had seen him in movies before, but never knew his name. then i saw th etrailer for this and actually thought he was a black guy until i saw iron man.
So great! Everyone just needs to come down! It's a comedy film, not a drama! He didn't take any roles from the African Community, because he was playing a white man playing a black man.
I thought it was really funny, and it's so aggravating seeing everyone being sensitive about it.
You Americans need to RELAX. Robert Downey Jnr is AWESOME in this movie ! Having said that,if you like this then how can you take offense to the skit on Hey Hey ? Granted it was not any where near as funny and Downey Jnr but it is much in the same vein.
What do you mean, "You Americans"? LOL ;) Seriously, I'm not trying to start anything. I'm an African-American female, and I love RDJ in this movie. I get that this whole thing is a send-up of Hollywood and self-important actors. And RDJ is funny as hell, lol. Granted, I haven't seen the skit you mentioned, but I'm guessing the difference is that RDJ isn't in blackface -- his character, Kirk Lazarus, is. It may seem the same to you, but it's not.
...The fact that the skit was done in Australia versus the US, does not make it any less hurtful, but the intention to be racist or offensive was definitely not there. These guys were just performing a skit they had done 20 years ago, with the same costumes and make-up they had at the time. If they had the same make-up artists that Robert Downey Jnr. had in Tropic Thunder, would you have had the same reaction?
I can totally appreciate the sensitivity of the topic, and feel deeply for those that were offended by the skit. To be fair though, the context is completely different in Australia than it would be in the US. Australians do not have the same history to fully understand the implication that the reference to a black face has, in the same vain that the US wouldnt understand the reference to wogs...
I totally agree, he should have got the Oscar. It's not only funny as hell, but his acting is genuinely superb. One of the all time classic movie roles ever.
my 2 fav quotes "I Know who I am, Im the Dude playing the dude disguised as another dude" and "Just cuz its the theme song done make it not true" xD lol I love RDJ

To me,the measure of a great actor is range.
As much as I love De Nero,Day Lewis,even the great shakespearean actors,I think this guy has an edge on all of them!
