Five brand new trailers today, and this one just happens to be the best. Or at least the craziest. If you thought the red band trailer for The Happening was disturbing, then you're going to really enjoy this one. By now we've all probably seen the first trailer for Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder, so now its time to debut something fresh - the hilarious red band trailer. This movie is going to be absolutely crazy and this trailer just gives you a little taste of what's to come. I'm certain this will probably jump to the top of your most anticipated summer movies once you see what they're offering. Ready to enjoy the latest hilarious shenanigans from Ben Stiller and his crew of misfits?

Watch the red band trailer for Tropic Thunder:

Don't forget to check out the official website for even more laughs: tropicthunder.com.

THAT WAS HILARIOUS! the baby tossing at the end almost made me choke on sunflower seeds. wow, this movie looks great
Richie

WOAH! wtf is that decapitated head the director? but anyway yeah looks hilarious.

Much better trailer than the first but I'm not quite sold yet. Love love Stiller for being different & making me laugh so many times with that straight up ballsy & uncomfortable comedy he delivers so consistently. However, I'm still waiting for that one special trailer to put us over the edge, much like "The Happening" trailer I just witnessed thanks to FS.net.

Steve Coogan! I think this will be great. Looks like a lot of good comedies out in the summer.
Silver

I just peed my pants......and it felt good.
Brad

I'm not sure why, but this trailer just killed my interest in this film.

Wasn't expecting much in the first place..but the farting really turned me off from it..hate useless farting jokes..too crude. The rest was great, except for the farting I'm gonna agree with tommyturner (#8)

#10, fart jokes turned you off but a severed head is ok? LOL
vic

@Garrett.king I think the farting scene was an allusion to "the nutty professor 1 or 2" where Eddie Murphy plays every character on the dinner table just like Jack Black does it in the trailer. This trailer is just hillarious and i can't wait to see the movie.
Mubariz Ahmedi

HAHAHAH! I'm so looking forward to this movie. Robert Downey Jr is hilarious in this and lol at the kid at the end! This movie is going to be so OTT it's going to be brilliant!
Minic

Yes. Thumbs UP. Looking forward to it.
Joker

#10 - That's a parody on Eddie Murphy and Norbit/Nutty Professor, because there's fart jokes in them.
Enola

JNYCE

CHEEKYmonkey

pogi

haha wow, this was the first time i wanted to watch a trailer again after just viewing it.

Wow. This movie will be AWESOME!
Garrett.king

#11 Fart jokes done right and subtly are funny. Doing them in extreme bits of pointless, humorless moments is stupid. The severed head and such is alright because I have a morbid humor #12 and #15 Why would it allure to the nutty professor and norbit? Is there a specific reason why it would be an ode to it? Because to me it just seems like a scene that should be severely edited from the movie. Dunno though. I do know that I'll probably rent it instead of theater.
Tirrell

Funny as hell count me in. lol
Darrin

funny, especially when he was playing with the head. hahahahaha
Eric

#25 They wanted to poke fun at eddie murphy, I don't know if its a grudge thing or whatever but it was okay. Anyway that trailer was really funny it just made it worth the $12 i'm going to throw out at Arclight.
twispious

looks good,but just don't expect a smart comedy.
Xerxex

Hey mother fucka that guy is dead! I think I can spot a prop head. Wow those are really good lines.
sleepykid

Looks like the sort of comedy that would be hilarious if I was still fifteen. I think I'll pass on this one.
Joel

Garrett, I wouldn't let the fart scene stop you from seeing this. I don't think the movie is going to revolve around that kind of humor. I think it's just that the Jack Black character is supposed to be the type of actor who makes those movies, so that scene is just to establish exactly what type of films he makes.

Laugh. Out. Fucking. LOUD!!! (I usually try not to swear in my coments, but it's a red band trailer dammit!)
PimpSlapStick

#25 If you haven't caught on yet, the movie is spoofing not only war movies in general, but movie star archetypes so yes Jack Black is sending up lame comedians and there awful films particulary Eddie Murphy's recent duds,while RDjr is obvisously mocking guys like Russell Crowe and even DeNiro to a certain extent both notorious 'Method Actors'. Let's run down the list... Ben Stiller = Shallow dimwitted action stars like the Arnold and Vin Diesel. Robert Downey = Anger challenged method actors like Crowe and Sean Penn. Jack Black = Well at this point Jack Black himself, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence. Brandon T. jackson = Stereotypical rapper wannabee actors like DMX and Ludachris.

" Im sorry a dingo ate your baby" " Now your crossin some fuckng lines" HAHAHAHA Jack Black Taint Gun....amzing
