Filmed on the beautiful island of Kauai during the summer of 2007, Tropic Thunder is an action-comedy in which Ben Stiller plays pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman, who is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever produced.

He sets out to Southeast Asia with a “Who’s Who” of celebrity co-stars. They include Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), an intense, three-time Oscar-winning actor; Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), star of the popular gross-out comedy franchise “The Fatties”; multi-platinum hip-hop-star-turned-entrepreneur-turned-actor Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson); and first-timer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel). Cameos include Tom Cruise, Kathy Hilton, Tobey Maguire, Matthew McConaughey, Katie Holmes, Mickey Rooney, Justin Theroux and The Mooney Suzuki. Soon after the production begins the actors are thrown into a real-life situation and are forced to become the fighting unit they’re portraying, in order to find a way out of the jungle in one piece.

Tropic Thunder is yet another film that will get you laughing as well as give you an inside glimpse into some of the most beautiful scenery Hawaii has to offer on MY favorite island of Kauai. Directed by funny man Ben Stiller, this film is set to release August 13th, 2008 in theaters nationwide.

“Tropic Thunder is an upcoming 2008 action comedy film directed by Ben Stiller and starring Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. as a group of actors filming a Vietnam War movie when their fed-up writer-director decides to dump them in the middle of a real war.“
