Tropic Thunder Had an Unexpected Problem
Behind the scenes on Tropic Thunder was even more chaotic than the movie itself. Steve Coogan explains how Ben Stiller staying in character made one simple word, “cut,” incredibly confusing, leading to one of the funniest stories from the set.

Just yell out a slur that you know they won't let make it into the real movie.
Great movie and always will be hopefully
say pineapple or sm, or like another guy said, "Ben stiller wants a cut"
That's why flugegikhaimen exist!

Ben Stiller was always the secret buff guy in Hollywood.
Just say Pineapple Juice.
guys the safe word was "no litterally fucking stop" why is everyone saying he needed a safe word.
"alright so you're character is gonna be asking to cut so we can't use the word cut if you actually need to stop, we need a different word or phase."
" How about stop?"
"Oh I like that.."stop, seriously stop, just f***ing stop, I need you to stop right now, just stop"
"No just the word "stop""
"Nah it'd be too confusing if it didn't take you ten minutes to ask to stop filming"
"What if I'd be dead in 5 minutes"
"Damn you're willing to sacrifice yourself for our film? You're a real one!"
"Stop filming tropic thunder!" Was what i was thinking
pineapple would have been easier. jeez.
bro just make it some random weird that the character doesnt say in the movie at all, like come on
Just say Avocado
“That’s a long safe word Ben.”
Oh my God language
Pineapple!
Say my name
Why not pineapple
"cut a Rooney do" could have fixed all of your problems
Safe paragraph.
"Say stop 78 times for continue and 79 times for stop"
mfs don't know what cut during filming means like this is a joke right
A confused man playing a confused man dressed as another confused man would be confusing man
If you had less people, wages would be higher, food would be cheaper…
