Take everything that went wrong during the making of Apocalypse Now, or the problems John Huston encountered on the set of The African Queen, multiply them by a factor of 10, and you would have some idea what the characters go through in 'Tropic Thunder', a hilarious satire about Hollywood that is the brainchild of Ben...
