Är filmen titeln Tropic Thunder (2008) menat att vara ett spel på ord, med tanke på att filmen är huvudsakligen en parodi av vanliga actionfilmtroper (dvs. Tropic="Trope-ic")?
Enligt "9 udda fakta om" Tropisk Thunder "som kommer att ändra sättet du ser på film" av GuySpeed-redaktörerna:
The movie title is a play on "Tropic Lightning", which is the nickname of the 25th Infantry Division which has seen action in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Southwest Asia and Iraq. The same division is also featured in the movies The Thin Red Line and Platoon and includes former members such as Oliver Stone and Ice-T

The division's shoulder patch, a lightning bolt superimposed on a taro leaf, was formally adopted in 1943. The colors of gold and red were those of the late Hawaiian monarchy. While soldiers over the years have jokingly nicknamed the patch the "Electric Chili Pepper" or the "Electric Strawberry," in 1953, the nickname "Tropic Lightning" was officially adopted.
