Plot

During the filming of Vietnam veteran John "Four Leaf" Tayback's memoir Tropic Thunder, the stars—fading action luminary Tugg Speedman , five-time Academy Award-winning method actor Kirk Lazarus, rapper Alpa Chino , low-brow drug-addled comedian Jeff Portnoy, and character actor Kevin Sandusky—behave unreasonably, resulting in a $4 million explosion going off with no cameras shooting. With filming a month behind schedule only five days into shooting, the media dubs the production "the most expensive war movie never made". Rookie director Damien Cockburn is ordered by studio executive Les Grossman to get the production back on track or risk having it shut down.

Acting on Tayback's advice, Cockburn drops the spoiled actors into the middle of the jungle, where he installs hidden cameras and special-effect explosions rigged so he can film "guerrilla-style". The actors have only a map and a scene listing to guide them to the helicopter waiting at the end of the jungle. Shortly afterward, the director is blown up by a derelict land mine left by the French during the First Indochina War, but only Lazarus, and to a certain extent Sandusky, realize his death was real.

Unbeknownst to the actors, they are dropped in the middle of the Golden Triangle, the home of the heroin-producing Flaming Dragon gang. The Dragons believe the actors to be Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents. When Tayback and pyrotechnics man Cody Underwood (Danny R. McBride) attempt to locate the now-deceased director, they are captured by the drug producers, at which point Tayback is exposed as a fraud when the prosthetic hooks on his hands fall off. The actors continue to trek through the hostile jungle. After Lazarus and Sandusky discover that Speedman is leading them the wrong way, they split off from him with Portnoy and Chino, and leave Speedman continuing to follow the film's script while the others attempt to escape the jungle.

Speedman is captured and taken to the Flaming Dragon's heroin factory, which he initially believes to be a prisoner of war (POW) camp from the script. The gang soon realizes that he is the star of the box office bomb Simple Jack (the only movie they have, on VHS) and force him to reenact it several times a day. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Speedman's agent, Rick Peck , is trying to negotiate with an uninterested Grossman a to-date unfulfilled term in Speedman's contract that entitles him to a TiVo on location, when they are contacted by the Flaming Dragon gang and are asked for a ransom. Grossman instead curses out the gang and later tells Rick that they can benefit more by collecting the insurance claim on Speedman's death, even offering the agent a share of the profits along with his own personal jet.

And for the rest, watch the movie. I can't spoil to much(already did x.x).

And there all true xD.
I seen the first 40 minutes of it and i loved it. I really love how the movie is set up. Filming a movie in the movie and then when real trouble comes, as in death situations, the actors think there till rolling.

I really need to finish watching it.
