Author Topic: Tropic Thunder (2008) Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-21-2008 01:20 PM                        A question: We are playing this now and I fear we have missing footage from reel 1. Our print has one "ad" followed by four "trailers." The "ad" begins right in the middle with no fade-in so I know that's screwed up, but are we missing additional "ads?"  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 09-21-2008 01:36 PM                     There's only one "ad"  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 09-21-2008 07:16 PM                     No Mike, you have everything, starts with the two girls backsides. Question, hows it playing there? Does it still have the same appeal in the small market like yours?

We should've gotten it before school started.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Scorcher The Fatties Satan's Alley are all we have...and the Booty Sweat ad of course.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Pitt Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: May 2007 posted 09-22-2008 04:01 PM                     I was expecting only one 'ad' and three 'trailers', but was surprised to see at least four 'trailers'! Oddly enough they kept the fake green bands on for the UK release - they should have cut them off, or replaced them with fake BBFC trailer tags! Great movie, but not one I'd see again. The first 10 minutes or so was absolutely hilarious, but then it took a definite downturn. Still good enough to watch though... Spoiler: . . . . . . . . The biggest laugh in the auditorium was when the director stepped on a live land mine  |  IP: Logged Galen Murphy-Fahlgren Master Film Handler Posts: 405 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Oct 2007 posted 09-22-2008 04:20 PM                     What was the fourth trailer? I only remember the three that John mentions.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-03-2008 12:09 AM                        I think it was just the 3. At least, I don't remember any other titles and of course the movie is long gone from here now!  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Funny as F. I liked it and would recommend it to others. Tom Cruise went a little overboard, but I liked his character. 4/5 stars.  |  IP: Logged
