Ben Stiller

No, no, sorry. We’re not being serious. But while at the press junket with Ben Stiller he had mentioned that he had the idea for Tropic Thunder for a long time, dating back to the days of his time on The Ben Stiller Show. As soon as he mentioned it, I flashed back to one of my favorite parody clips of all time. I’d rather watch this for 90 minutes than ever sit through a poorly thought out spoof movie.

In a way, this could be considered a forerunner to what happened with this idea got full fleshed out into Tropic Thunder. Without further ado, we present to you Die Hard 12: Die Hungry from The Ben Stiller Show.
