Tropic Thunder Red Band Trailer

A new red-band (read: sweary and a little bit disgusting) trailer for Tropic Thunder has gone online here (UPDATE: Something's gone screwy on the film's site, so try the YouTube version here{ =nofollow}) and it is quite, quite brilliant. You'll need to fill in age restriction information, which stupidly doesn't allow anyone outside America to get in, but there are ways around it. We used the name and birth date of one of the stars and guessed that he lives in Beverly Hills, so tried the 90210 zip code, and turns out we were right. Obviously if you're below 17 you should not be trying this trick or you'll be arrested and almost certainly shot.

Once you get past the gates of over-sensitivity and international unfriendliness, great things await you. Seriously, this is the funniest trailer we've seen in a long time. Everyone looks like they're playing at the top of the game, particularly the god-like Robert Downey Jr. The part with the stabby child brought us very close to rupturing a number of internal organs that we really need to keep in a state of completeness.
