surprised this wasn't mentioned yet ,,,


Controversies
Since its release, the film has been criticized as being culturally insensitive. Jonathan Rosenbaum argued that the film compares gremlins to African Americans.[29] In Ceramic Uncles & Celluloid Mammies, Patricia Turner writes that the gremlins "reflect negative African-American stereotypes" in their dress and behavior. They are shown "devouring fried chicken with their hands", listening to black music, breakdancing, and wearing sunglasses after dark and newsboy caps, a style common among African American males in the 1980

:mjpls:Fun fact RDJ does Tropic Thunder’s dvd commentary in character.


I just wanna know why they had Robert Downey, Jr. playing a Blackman in "Tropic Thunder"....and a CARICATURE of one, at that.

This site loves that performance. And you'll never convince them otherwise. But they tried to be slick and everyone forgets that the only black character in the movie turns out to be a faq.

These crackers think they slick trying to make this bullshyt affordable.
