History Heartwarming / TropicThunder

* Alpha's real reason for signing up for the movie:
--> ''And why am I in this movie? Maybe it's because I just knew I had to represent, because they had one good part in here for a black man [[MoodWhiplash and they gave it to Crocodile Dundee!]]''

** When Tugg is announced as the winner, Creator/JonVoight is sitting right in front of him and can be seen angrily muttering under his breath for having lost to him.

** Jeff Portnoy almost [[Main/{{Glomp}} glomping]] Tugg as he heads to the stage to receive his Oscar.

** Also, Kirk's little "Yes!" when he opens the envelope and sees that Tugg won.
* Alpa Chino attending the Oscars with Lance.

** And Rick's last scene before that. He's just been offered a choice: receive a G-5 airplane and a massive sum of money, or save his friend. He saves his friend.

* When Rick turns up with the [=TiVo=]. No, really. "If my friend wants a [=TiVo=], he gets a [=TiVo=]!" What he does with it afterwards counts as an AwesomeMoment.

* Tugg being presented with a makeshift Oscar after his forced performance of ''Simple Jack''.

* When Rick turns up with the [=TiVo=]. No, really. "If my friend wants a [=TiVo=], he gets a [=TiVo=]!" What he does with it afterwards counts as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* When Tugg corrected Al Pachino when he messed up his name. Kevin just gazed at him amazed that someone had remembered his name.

* Read between the lines and it becomes clear that Tugg's reason for playing Simple Jack or at least being willing to accept the role, when Rick offered it him, was because Rick himself has a mentally handicapped son. The photo showing them being friends even was from the set of Simple Jack.
