Starting today, Paramount Pictures’ 2008 action comedy Tropic Thunder is finally available to stream on Hulu. In the film, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. played celebrities who were cast in a chaotic Vietnam War movie. Black’s character Jeff Portnoy was a wild and drug addicted comedian, while Downey’s Kirk Lazarus was an Oscar-winning Australian method actor who underwent surgery to play a Black sergeant in the film.
