Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. star in this politically incorrect action comedy that lampoons everything Hollywood. The story concerns a group of actors who go to Vietnam to do a war movie and end up running afoul of drug dealers. Downey plays a white method actor who has his skin darkened to portray an African American. Stiller's character generally plays action heroes, except for his role as an intellectually disabled person in Simple Jack . Actor-comedian Brandon T. Jackson portrays a rapper named Alpa Chino, who markets the energy drink Booty Sweat.
