To enter for your chance at a free copy of the DVD (not the Blu-Ray!), simply visit our Contact Form, select "Promotions" from the drop-down list, and enter the word "Thunder" in the message box. On November 23, we'll draw three entries from the tons and tons we know we'll receive. (U.S. addresses only, please. 18 years or older to enter.) We'll then contact you via the email address you leave for us to confirm your mailing address. DVDs will arrive a week or two after that. Here's what Paramount has to say about the DVD release of Tropic Thunder: "The best comedy of the year" (Newsweek) that "will blow your mind" (Rolling Stone) takes no prisoners when TROPIC THUNDER deploys on November 18, 2008 in a Unrated Director's Cut on DVD and Blu-ray, as well as in a single-disc DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment. Directed by and starring Ben Stiller (Zoolander) and featuring an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda), Danny McBride (Foot Fist Way), Nick Nolte (The Spiderwick Chronicles), and Steve Coogan (Hamlet 2), TROPIC THUNDER is "laugh-until-your-stomach-hurts hilarious" (San Francisco Chronicle). The film follows five pampered actors on the set of a Vietnam War movie who are thrust into real-life danger and forced to become the fighting unit they're portraying in order to survive. The result is an over-the-top, unforgettable film that is "a knockout of a comedy that keeps you laughing" (Rolling Stone). UPDATE: Our winners are Keith Wright, Ruth Utterback, and Marilyn Robertson. Copyright © 2008 Hollywood Jesus. All rights reserved.
