Armor-Piercing Question: "Or are you a dude who has no idea what dude he is, and claims to know what dude he is, by playing other dudes?" Basically, Speedman is pointing out that Kirk method acts so hard that he loses his true self. During their conversation Kirk stays in character because he can't remember who he is any more and breaks down crying saying that he's a no body.

In the intro scene where Tugg is trying to cry with Kirk holding his... hands, you can hear a theme imitating Saving Private Ryan's one, as when Pvt. Ryan talks to Cpt. Miller before he dies at the end. The Fool: Our main leads, ladies and gents - actors totally out of their depth, either totally lost in drugs, their own ego, delusions, or their constructed characters. Funny enough, the main exception is Kevin Sandusky, a no-name actor who's treated as a Naïve Newcomer by everyone else when it's clear he's got a better grip on reality than everyone around him. Disability advocates and others who previewed the film reported that the offensive treatment of individuals with mental disabilities was woven throughout the film's plot. [143] Disability advocates urged people not to see the film, claiming it is demeaning to individuals with mental disabilities and would encourage bullying. [147] Stiller defended the film, stating "We screened the movie so many times and this didn't come up until very late ...in the context of the film I think it's really clear, they were making fun of the actors and actors who try to use serious subjects to win awards." [148] Co-writer Etan Cohen echoed Stiller's rationale: "Some people have taken this as making fun of handicapped people, but we're really trying to make fun of the actors who use this material as fodder for acclaim." [149] He went on to state that the film lampoons actors who portray intellectually disabled or autistic characters such as Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, and Sean Penn in I Am Sam.

Osiris mode, mentions that he "won't break character until the DVD release." Sure enough, when Tropic Thunder was release on DVD, Robert Downey Jr. does the commentary in-character to Kirk Lazarus, himself acting in-character to Sgt. Osiris.

Outrun the Fireball: Tugg does this near the end, when the bridge to his helicopter's landing spot is rigged with explosives. He still gets blown off his feet, but he's alright afterwards. In October 2008, Paramount chose to put end-of-year award push funds behind Tropic Thunder and began advertising for Downey to receive a nomination by the Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor. [128] In a November 2008 issue by Entertainment Weekly, Downey's film role was considered one of the three contenders for Best Supporting Actor. [129] As a way of extending the film-within-a-film "universe" into real life, there were at least two online "For Your Consideration" ads touting Downey's character, Kirk Lazarus, for Best Supporting Actor; one of these contains "scenes" from Satan's Alley that were not in the trailer as released in theaters. At least one of the ads was produced by Paramount Pictures and intended for early For Your Consideration awareness for Downey's role.

Alpa Chino is another not-so-subtle parody of the trend of rappers who are increasingly showing up in films as actors, and his Booty Sweat was a direct parody of the various brands of soft drinks pimped out by various mainstream rappers, mostly Nelly's Pimp Juice. A direct reference to R. Kelly's peeing scandal pops up in the Director's Cut: " Hell naw I didn't pee on that girl..." Stiller developed the premise for Tropic Thunder while shooting Empire of the Sun, [20] in which he played a small part. Stiller wanted to make a film based on the actors he knew who, after taking part in boot camps to prepare for war film roles, became "self-important" and "self-involved" and appeared to believe they had been part of a real military unit.
