Today is the tenth anniversary of the premiere of Tropic Thunder. The film follows a group of actors making a Vietnam War-based film only to end up in the middle of a real conflict with drug dealers who think they are real soldiers. The film was a hit with fans and critics. It was a box office success and at the time was the fifth highest-grossing R-rated film. It was nominated for numerous awards and was placed on several critics' top lists. It did cause some controversy due to star Robert Downey, Jr. wearing blackface as well as the film's numerous jokes about actors who play mentally disabled characters.

The film features Rodney Saulsberry doing ADR voice work.
