The Movie: When a frustrated film director decides to drop a group of prima donna actors - who are making a fictional Vietnam War film - in the middle of a jungle, they are forced to rely on their acting skills in order to survive the real action and danger.

The Scene: Tom Cruise makes an uproarious appearance in the film as Les Grossman, a filthy, foul-mouthed and perpetually angry movie producer. The defining moment of the character is when he unleashes all verbal and vitriolic hell on "Flaming Dragon", who’s holding his star client hostage. 

The long string of profanities coming out of Cruise’s mouth remains some of the most quotable lines in the entire film, to which, when the conversations is over, he nonchalantly asks “Would you find out who that was?”.

Memorable Quote: "First, take a big step back... and literally, F*CK YOUR OWN FACE!"
