Tropic Thunder is one of the smartest and most controversial comedies of the 2000s, and a decade since its release Tropic Thunder 2 news is becoming more frequent. 2008's Topic Thunder, directed by Ben Stiller, follows a group of very different fictional actors on set while filming an epic Vietnam War movie — only to then become embroiled in an actual conflict. The characters are parodies of the stereotypical popular actors working in Hollywood. The fictional Tropic Thunder actors include action hero Tugg Speedman (Stiller), who is trying to be respected for his dramatic performances, Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), an intense Australian method actor, and Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), a slapstick comedy actor with a drug addiction.
