This has got to be the hottest video of the moment.
It's a a spoof of the spoof within the spoof.
This video is about 10 mins 30 secs long.

Tropic madness
We round up the Internet sites or videos that people are talking about
What's the noise?
Rain Of Madness is a 30-minute fake 'making-of' mockumentary of the feature film Tropic Thunder, about a group of actors making a war film.
This send-up of Hollywood war movies and its stereotypes stars Robert Downey Jr, Ben Stiller and Jack Black.
Rain Of Madness uses all the styles of a behind-the-scenes segment in a DVD extra feature and 'chronicles' the insanity of Tropic Thunder's fictitious cast and crew and their struggle to finish the film.
Essentially, this is a spoof of the spoof within the spoof. It has hilarious pseudo-interviews with the cast and crew, including some bizarre moments with Downey Jr.
Rain Of Madness was shot in Hawaii using the same locations as Tropic Thunder.
It is directed by the latter's co-writer Justin Theroux, who stars in the mockumentary as German documentary producer/narrator Jan Jürgen.
Paramount put Rain Of Madness online alongside Tropic Thunder as part of its Internet viral marketing for the film.
What we say:
It sucked that we could not download the film as it was available only on the US iTunes site, so we turned to other video-sharing sites as well as the mockumentary's website.
Who would have thought Hollywood could take the mickey out of itself and do it well?
Film buffs would recognise this as a send-up of the 1991 documentary Heart Of Darkness, which chronicled the making of Francis Ford Coppola's problem-plagued 1979 epic war film Apocalypse Now, starring Martin Sheen and the late Marlon Brando.
I do hope Rain Of Madness does make it as an extra feature on the Tropic Thunder DVD release.
What people say:
'If you thought Tropic Thunder was funny, you have GOT to check out the documentary showing the making of the film - Rain Of Madness.'
- be experiment.com
'A twisted and well-done riff that manages to add to the value of the existing film while deserving a life of its own.'
