This is one of many reasons why George and Simone should watch Cliffhanger as a Cinebinge React reaction. The opening scene would have made more sense if they had watched Cliffhanger. That and the fact that Cliffhanger is fantastic with a great cast including John Lithgow and Michael Rooker
yep, ive seen 2 reactions of peaple watching this and not getting the reference. Cliffhanger is such a good movie. How can no one like "die hard on a mountain"
My 65 year old grandmother took us to see this at the cinema back when this came out. She had to leave us in our seats as she wet herself laughing. She carried on the laughs by greeting her Bridge partners by exclaiming “Bumble Bee Tuna’… I miss her dearly…..
Fun Fact: When Ace Ventura starts singing "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" while he's driving, that was improvised. Jim Carrey forgot his lines, just started singing instead and they used it in the movie. Also, no matter how many times I watch the rhino scene, I always end up laughing my ass off.
The reactors are too young to get many of the references. That's from the 60's comedy movie about a magical car. They didn't even get the more modern "something's on the wing" from The Twilight Zone classic and were oblivious to his William Shatner impersonations even though he's an iconic Canadian actor.
5:33 Carrey is using his William Shatner impression to reference an old Twilight Zone episode where a very young Shatner is a terrified passenger who is the only one who sees a gremlin on the wing of the plane. This episode was recreated in the 80s Twilight Zone movie, with John Lithgow as the passenger ... and then in the 90s, Shatner and Lithgow worked together on "Third Rock from the Sun" and referenced this.
Written/directed by Steve Oedekirk, creator of Jimmy Neutron and an old friend of Carrey's from 80's stand-up. Oedekirk made the batshit crazy Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, a parody of poorly translated kung fu movies that you guys should absolutely watch!
Jim also HATED it, as an animal person, he should not have a fear of any-- why not make it a sickness, or allergy, but no, studio said, "fear of bats."
Modern Monster trucks are generally just the shell of a truck or hearse on top on the wheels and everything else. So they don’t usually have working doors so the driver will usually climb in from the bottom or have a mechanism to lift the shell body up to get in or work on the rest of the truck
A solid frame is important if the truck rolls, and hinges on doors/hoods could be liabilities in an audience environment for stunt trucks if they became flying debris.
The crazy fighter Ace gets beat by is played by Tommy Davidson. Davidson and Carey both starred in the extremely funny 90's sketch show In Living Color.
The thing to remember with Ace in this movie is that he's broken after the Cliffhanger spoof opening scene. He left the Buddhist temple without being fully spiritually healed 😅
Also Jim Carrey was contractually obligated to be in this film and freakin' hated it. How he's over the top here even more than the first movie, that's him powering through it.
I always sing chitty chitty bang bang every time I drive on a bumpy road because of this movie and also say "Like a glove!" When I park my car in a tight spot. Also, the chitty chitty bang bang part was improvised and also the part where he rewinds his speech confronting the villain and then repeats it. He forgot his next line and decided to do the rewind as a bit, but the director liked it so much he asked him to do it again and that's the take you see in the film.
Yes dude! Same. I can’t help it. I use “gets a little hot in these… rhinos” more than anything though. I can’t resist when it’s hot sitting in a car or hangar or whatever.
That rhino scene is one of the funniest scenes ever put to film. From the finger wiggling around to his face getting caught on his lower jaw I laugh every time.
Today you found out: Nitrogen is essential to the production of our food; farms use nitrogen as fertiliser. High-nitrogen bat guano is one of the highest natural nitrogen sources we've found. Guano was a very valuable resource until Daniel Rutherford discovered a way to pull nitrogen out of the air in 1772, at the age of 23.
Guano is also a special ingredient in the brewing of Guinness. The beer vats were stored in caves back in the 18th century and eventually guano got into a batch and the rest is history. Hopefully they use synthetic nitrogen sources now but I'm fairly sure they still store Guinness in caves so maybe not.
At 28:09 it's the cars lighter he uses. I don't think they do those anymore, but back in the day almost every car had a lighter that you pushed in like a button, and a few seconds later you could pull out the entire lighter and it'd be red-hot. It was based on electricity heating up a coiled metal band though, so it wasn't dependent on fire. That's why it's still hot when he throws it down into the consulates car.
I think they meant why the body of the car lifted up like that. Monster trucks have a shell of a body that just hinges up to reveal the seat and controls.
Fun fact , Bald Eagles have stronger average stomach acid 1,3 pH than humans 1,5 pH and Vultures stomach acid is about 0 pH , it's there with battery acid , thats why vultures can eat cadavers , their stomach acid kills bacteria .
Glad to see you guys reacting to the second Ace Ventura so soon! The opening Racoon scene is a spoof of the opening scene from Sylvester Stallone's movie "Cliffhanger". The Airplane scene were he does his best William Shatner impersonation is from the classic Twilight Zone episode which was redone in the movie version and played by John Lithgow, and when he confronts Cadby tells him to "Repent, and thou shall be saved", he's doing Charleston Heston when he played John the Baptist in the movie "The Greatest story ever told. One last thing, when he sings the Chitty chitty bang bang song, he improvised it on the spot. I'm sure there are many other scenes he improvised as well. Alllllllllllll....righty then, secret Asian man and the lovely Simone you take care now, bye-bye. XOXO
fun fact: back on the studio tour at Universal Studios Hollywood, they would tell us a story when we came to the Psycho House. They said that one day, a tour was passing the house when a man dressed as an old woman came running out and started stabbing at people with a rubber knife. It was Jim Carrey on his lunch break.
23:20 Yes, Bruce Spence played Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander in Legend of the Seeker. He is more well known for playing the pilot in The Road Warrior (1981), the second Mad Max movie. He was also The Mouth of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. In the RotK director commentary, it was said that they wanted an actor like the pilot in The Road Warrior to play the Mouth of Sauron and someone said "Why not just get that actor?" And so they did.
I've never watched this movie edited down to just the really funny parts before. I've been trying to take a sip of my coffee for 10 minutes now and I can't because I can't stop laughing. And the thumbnail!! 💀💀💀
28:10 That's how the body comes off on a monster truck. It lifts up so you can get in and out and work on the engine. Weird how it didn't run into any low hanging trees, though...
The first is definitely better. This is just an over the top comedy, but the first one is so much more. I always liked how dark it was, and it seemed rooted in reality with Ace being the absurd element. In this one, everything is just as wild as Ace in an attempt to up the laughs, but it takes away from the nuanced balance that gave the first so much charm.
Holy crap, George! I once asked my mom while a song was playing if it was a racist song. She asked why. I said because he's singing "he's an Asian man." She corrected me.
I'm guessing it was common. I thought it. Sounds a lot more like Asian than agent. At least as a kid. Your hearing changes and I think that's why as a kid I got lyrics so wrong. I thought Pour Some Sugar on Me was Pour Some Sugar on Bread. I don't hear it like that anymore. Probably why you have a harder time pronouncing some things. I said purple wrong, but to me it sounded like I was saying it like everyone else. Okay, that's enough about how many things I got wrong as a kid.
@@LastRenegade some could say it's racist to not sing it incorrectly. The only way to truly prove it isn't racist is to do the slant eyed thing when you hear it. Which is only fair after they played that joke and put pee pee in our Coke. Race relations solved.
29:38 my personal theory on Ace's attitude change was that he was still emotionally and spiritually broken after his failure with the raccoon. He never fully recovered and therefore just lashed out at everyone. Childish of him, maybe but it's definitely not out of the realm of realism and possibility.
He was a jerk in the first movie, too; I would actually struggle to think of a human he was kind toward. He bothered his police friend and badgered him for info, trolled the rich guy who ended up having a pet shark, even got rude and snappy with Melissa, particularly when it seemed like there were no more rings to check. Heck, there's also the "kill him!" bit and the fistfight with the mascot. It's just how he is, and part of the humor.
Haha, I love how after George echoed Cadby's "show you" with the accent, Simone's response was "happy" like maid Marian from men in tights. The way she echoed it at the end of that one.
In the biopic about Andy Kaufman, the Man in the Moon. Jim Carrey stayed in character for the whole shoot., There's a great documentary about it... Some actually believe he was Inhabited by the spirit of Andy
I wanted to see the rest of your reaction to the whole rhino scene as everyone panicks and he lets out the yell as he's "born" lol. This movie is a GEM
Its so not! What r u talking about? This one sucks balls. The first one is a well done movie, but this one was made so extremely goofy and stupid. Ace ventura is just a stupid annoying character, doign stupid things for no reason all the time. In the first one he still was so smart and charming, like he knew what he was doing. Here hes just like a small kid with no brains, he justs reacts stupidly to everything. And the plot and pace is terrible.
One of Jim's best performances is as Andy Kofman in Man on the Moon. He stayed in character the whole shoot. Andy's wife was on set as well, and said that he was exactly like Andy.
The tall animal poacher was played by Aussie actor Bruce Spence who also played The Mouth of Sauron in The Return of the King {LOR}, quite a change of pace!
Me and my wife use so many of Ace’s sayings from this film in our everyday lives. We were backpacking around Australia and worked at Kings Canyon resort for 3 months and this film was played on the in-house TV almost every day. I’ve not watched it in years yet so many of the gags we use without even thinking about them. Great film! Bye Bye Now
Notso-fun fact: Jim Carrey considered this movie to have jumped the shark. He considered it to be too casually r**ist and he actually swore not to do any sequels, which he kept up until Dumber and Dumberer
Well, as for him being more of a jerk in this one: I don’t think it’s fair to judge someone who’s seen a raccoon fall to it’s death unless you walked a mile in their shoes
Before the first Ace Ventura, Jim Carrey and Steve Oedekerk (the director of AV2) made a small film together called High Strung. It is very good and nobody talk about it.
The first part of the racoon falling in the abyss is a perfect parody of Stallone's "CLIFFHANGER" movie...that scene it's exactly like it, just with some more drama.
Oh my god. I still do the limp arm run on occasion and I haven't seen this movie in almost 20 years. When you forget a movie but it was so ingrained in your childhood you can't help but imitate it!
The bit with Jim Carey when he was on the plane rapidly opening and closing the curtains imitating William Shatner saying: “there’s something on the wing!” Is a reference to a Twilight Zone episode from 1963 called “Nightmare at 20,000 feet”. It stared William Shatner as a guy on a flight that sees a creature on the wing of the plane trying to sabotage it.
5:39 George, this a gag about an episode of 'The Twilight Zone' that starred William 'Captain Kirk' Shatner. It was reshot for the movie version that starred John Lithgow.
Jim Carrey actually didn't want to make a sequel, but he was contractually obligated. He's since said that while he had a fine time making it, he regrets not fighting to get out of it. He had a number of issues with the script, including not liking the "afraid of bats" angle and he was uncomfortable with the depiction of native peoples in the movie, concerned it would be offensive. I think some of this comes through in the over the top (which seems silly to even say after AV1) nature of the movie and lack of care to some details like in the first. It's funny, but not a patch on the original. Also, Carrey really wiggles his ears like that!
18:43 I feel your discomfort, George; though mine is in the opposite direction. I've never liked wooden implements with even the slightest amount of graininess, including popsicle sticks. They give me a serious wiggins. Also, I think Simone's sick voice is sultry, like Phoebe Buffay singing "Sticky Shoes". 😍
5:46 Simone, if you are wandering how is Jim Carrey behind the scenes, there's a great Netflix documentary about the making of "Man in the Moon" (1999, great, great movie) called "Jim & Andy. The Great Beyond". Recommended.
The "there's someone on the wing" is a reference to a Twilight Zone episode staring William Shatner (later remade in the Twilight Zone movie and the part was played by John Lithgow). Jim did the bit in the over-the-top acting style that William Shatner is known for.
5:37 - "There's... something on the wing!" - That's a spoof of William Shatner in the classic Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (5x03). It was remade for Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) with John Lithgow playing the same role. And then it was spoofed in Third Rock from the Sun when Shatner and Lithgow met and both recounted seeing something on the wing of their respective planes.
Some bats are cute (dwarf fruit bats). Some bats are really cool (flying fox). Some are giant hairy mosquitos (vampire bats). Some look like a living nightmare (horseshoe bats).
And the scene where Ace is imitating William Shatner is when William starred in an episode of The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) called "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet."
John Lithgow did Shatner's part in the remake. Then Shatner guest starred on 3rd rock from the Sun and they both referenced it. Shatner gets off a plane and Lithgow asks him how the flight was & Shatner replies "Horrifying! I looked out the window, & i saw something on the wing of the plane!" Lithgow replied ''The same thing happened to me!"
while still hilarious, i think many of us remember as this one as funnier than the first one because it's wackier, raunchier, and we were at an age where that combination is funniest shit in the world lmao
Jim Carrey didn't really want to make this movie. He disliked the central plot device of Ace being afraid of bats, and just didn't want to be reprising the character, but he did enlist his good friend Steve Oedekerk to write and direct it. Carrey is, as far as I know, not traditionally Method, but for the biopic Man on the Moon, in which he plays one of his comedy idols, Andy Kaufman, he did remain in character the entire shoot. They even later made a Netflix documentary about the making of the movie called Jim and Andy. It's one of his best performances and you two should definitely check it out even if you don't know who Andy Kaufman was. Must also again recommend The Cable Guy, the last remaining gem of Carrey's '90s broad comedy movies. Frankly, I think it's his best one. (And if you ever want to hear a commentary about the process, the Blu-ray of The Cable Guy has audio commentary from director Ben Stiller, producer and uncredited writer Judd Apatow, and Jim Carrey.)
Yes Jim doesn’t like to repeat characters, that’s the main reason he didn’t wanna do it. That’s what makes him different among other comedic actors… he’s actually talented and versatile like Robin Williams
Jim Carrey doing William Shatner on a plane was a spoof of the Twilight Zone ep where Shatner played a guy who say a gremlin on the plane's wing. Was re-created for the Twilight Zone movie with John Lithgow.
"There's someone on the wing!" in a William Shatner impression. It refers to an old Twilight Zone episode with a man, Shatner, afraid of flying and trying to conquer his fears on a flight. He has a window seat and can see some gremlin messing with the wing-mounted engine, making it flame out.
There's something on the wing! is a Shatner reference and was also parodied on the simpsons tree house of horror (gremlin on the side the school bus rather than a plane)
No joke, I was in Rivera Maya couple years ago, and the bit at 6:05, our bus driver was doing the same thing with his head! It was a gold moment and I died inside.
Yes that rhino or I should say robot rhino scene became a huge meme like 2 yrs ago. I loved that so much that and the scene with the monopoly guy rocked and are so funnnyyyy.
28:10 that a cigarette lighter, almost all cars had them, you push it in & in a few seconds it would pop back out nice & hot for lighting your cigarette or whatever. Unless you're talking about how it opened, then that's because it's a monster truck & they're built different.
I still know every word. I cried laughing at the scene when he’s messing around in the projector room with the slides. Better than the original, in my opinion. Soo damn funny. 😂😂😂
The beginning with the raccoon is a reference to a Sylvester Stallone movie; Cliffhanger.
Ya on the first ace review they did I suggest les that they watch Cliffhanger first.
I thought i recognized it...but couldnt place it
Basically a shot for shot remake
This, it’s weird watching cliffhanger after as your brain tricks you into thinking cliffhanger is parodying when nature calls.
This is one of many reasons why George and Simone should watch Cliffhanger as a Cinebinge React reaction. The opening scene would have made more sense if they had watched Cliffhanger. That and the fact that Cliffhanger is fantastic with a great cast including John Lithgow and Michael Rooker
The death of the poor racoon is actually a well done spoof on the opening of Cliffhanger.
Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone

Seeing that for the first time at the cinema was one of the funniest things ever. Laughing so hard it hurt. 🤣
I'm guessing you feel Kung-Pow is the best comedy ever?
5:33 was a take on an episode of the Twilight Zone where William Shatner saw a monster/gremlin on the wing of the plane while in flight.
And that pretty much inspired the plot of Alien.
The episode's called Nightmare at 20,000 Feet if anyone's interested.
@@Manu-Official what? is that true?

@@jlinkous05 YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT???!!
Kung-pow enter the fist was amazing and very weird on the first viewing.

Jim also HATED it, as an animal person, he should not have a fear of any-- why not make it a sickness, or allergy, but no, studio said, "fear of bats."

Yes it’s called Jim and Andy.
He was never the same after he did Man on the Moon, it really screwed him up mentally
I wanted to see the rest of your reaction to the whole rhino scene as everyone panicks and he lets out the yell as he's "born" lol. This movie is a GEM
The actor who played the Newsreader in Rome was also Baron Harkonnen in a TV miniseries version of Dune and a sequel adaptation.
Ian Mcniece was his name. I used to get him mixed up with Robbie Coltaine all the time.
Now that you have seen both Ace movies, you have attained total spiritual creaminess 😉👍
This is the best ace Ventura movie. I could be biased cuz I grew up watching this constantly. Tommy Davidson as the little guy he fights is classic
Love to see Jim with any of his In Living Color castmates.
Tommy's cameo was my favorite part of the movie. Saw Tommy perform this past Sunday and he's just as funny as ever.
Its so not! What r u talking about? This one sucks balls. The first one is a well done movie, but this one was made so extremely goofy and stupid. Ace ventura is just a stupid annoying character, doign stupid things for no reason all the time. In the first one he still was so smart and charming, like he knew what he was doing. Here hes just like a small kid with no brains, he justs reacts stupidly to everything. And the plot and pace is terrible.
One of Jim's best performances is as Andy Kofman in Man on the Moon. He stayed in character the whole shoot. Andy's wife was on set as well, and said that he was exactly like Andy.
When I met Ian McNeice we talked about this film and he had nothing but wonderful things to say about Jim but did mention he wasn't on all the time
The tall animal poacher was played by Aussie actor Bruce Spence who also played The Mouth of Sauron in The Return of the King {LOR}, quite a change of pace!
Me and my wife use so many of Ace’s sayings from this film in our everyday lives. We were backpacking around Australia and worked at Kings Canyon resort for 3 months and this film was played on the in-house TV almost every day. I’ve not watched it in years yet so many of the gags we use without even thinking about them. Great film! Bye Bye Now
Notso-fun fact: Jim Carrey considered this movie to have jumped the shark. He considered it to be too casually r**ist and he actually swore not to do any sequels, which he kept up until Dumber and Dumberer
And he absolutely should not have done dumb and dumber two lol
How was it racist?
@@MrTHEMONEEMAKERseriously?
I love the arrows in the leg scene, still my all time favorite gag of the Ace movies. Aside from the pocket water in the first one 😂
Well, as for him being more of a jerk in this one: I don’t think it’s fair to judge someone who’s seen a raccoon fall to it’s death unless you walked a mile in their shoes
lol the "Cliffhanger" scene for scene parody at the beginning
Before the first Ace Ventura, Jim Carrey and Steve Oedekerk (the director of AV2) made a small film together called High Strung. It is very good and nobody talk about it.
The first part of the racoon falling in the abyss is a perfect parody of Stallone's "CLIFFHANGER" movie...that scene it's exactly like it, just with some more drama.
I can never un-hear “milking the dune worm”. 😂
The Air Force sent me to Okinawa for 2 weeks, and the fruit bats were basically chihuahuas with humongous wings!
Oh my god. I still do the limp arm run on occasion and I haven't seen this movie in almost 20 years. When you forget a movie but it was so ingrained in your childhood you can't help but imitate it!
First time I saw this I almost suffocated several times. I was laughing so hard lost control of my bodily functions and couldn’t breathe.
The bit with Jim Carey when he was on the plane rapidly opening and closing the curtains imitating William Shatner saying: “there’s something on the wing!” Is a reference to a Twilight Zone episode from 1963 called “Nightmare at 20,000 feet”. It stared William Shatner as a guy on a flight that sees a creature on the wing of the plane trying to sabotage it.
I do hope Simone recovers soon, but I gotta say her slightly congested voice is the cutest thing.
5:39 George, this a gag about an episode of 'The Twilight Zone' that starred William 'Captain Kirk' Shatner. It was reshot for the movie version that starred John Lithgow.
Jim Carrey actually didn't want to make a sequel, but he was contractually obligated. He's since said that while he had a fine time making it, he regrets not fighting to get out of it. He had a number of issues with the script, including not liking the "afraid of bats" angle and he was uncomfortable with the depiction of native peoples in the movie, concerned it would be offensive. I think some of this comes through in the over the top (which seems silly to even say after AV1) nature of the movie and lack of care to some details like in the first. It's funny, but not a patch on the original.
Also, Carrey really wiggles his ears like that!
18:43 I feel your discomfort, George; though mine is in the opposite direction. I've never liked wooden implements with even the slightest amount of graininess, including popsicle sticks.
They give me a serious wiggins.
Also, I think Simone's sick voice is sultry, like Phoebe Buffay singing "Sticky Shoes". 😍
5:46 Simone, if you are wandering how is Jim Carrey behind the scenes, there's a great Netflix documentary about the making of "Man in the Moon" (1999, great, great movie) called "Jim & Andy. The Great Beyond". Recommended.
The "there's someone on the wing" is a reference to a Twilight Zone episode staring William Shatner (later remade in the Twilight Zone movie and the part was played by John Lithgow). Jim did the bit in the over-the-top acting style that William Shatner is known for.
5:37 - "There's... something on the wing!" - That's a spoof of William Shatner in the classic Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (5x03). It was remade for Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) with John Lithgow playing the same role. And then it was spoofed in Third Rock from the Sun when Shatner and Lithgow met and both recounted seeing something on the wing of their respective planes.
Some bats are cute (dwarf fruit bats). Some bats are really cool (flying fox). Some are giant hairy mosquitos (vampire bats). Some look like a living nightmare (horseshoe bats).
I cannot fathom why people think this one is better than the first one.
Yeah, it's got some good moments (The rhino is amazing), but it's overall nothing to write home about.
i dont know but I feel this one is better.
I love Ouda. "White Devil says..." 🤣🤣🤣
"This is how they know you!"
He's so cheerful.
Yeah the first one was a ton better, this was just o.k. for me, and I love slapstick and JC
When he says "There's someone on the wing" in William Shatner's voice, it's from an old episode of Twilight Zone that had Shatner in it.
And the scene where Ace is imitating William Shatner is when William starred in an episode of The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) called "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet."
Simone with the Sword of Truth reference and George always referencing the Cosmere is awesome
The intro is a parody of the beginning of "Cliffhanger," starring Sylvester Stallone. That's great movie by the way.
"LIKE A GLOVE!!!!!" I love that quote. Honorable mentioned "Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.!"
"This is a lovely room of Death." I'm not a big fan of the Ace Ventura films, but this quote does nicely sump my opinion of hunter trophy taxidermy.
When he's on the plane and says "there's something on that window....some....thing", he's imitating William Shatner in the Twilight Zone.
John Lithgow did Shatner's part in the remake. Then Shatner guest starred on 3rd rock from the Sun and they both referenced it. Shatner gets off a plane and Lithgow asks him how the flight was & Shatner replies "Horrifying! I looked out the window, & i saw something on the wing of the plane!" Lithgow replied ''The same thing happened to me!"
"milking the dune worm" xD
while still hilarious, i think many of us remember as this one as funnier than the first one because it's wackier, raunchier, and we were at an age where that combination is funniest shit in the world lmao
Jim Carrey didn't really want to make this movie. He disliked the central plot device of Ace being afraid of bats, and just didn't want to be reprising the character, but he did enlist his good friend Steve Oedekerk to write and direct it.
Carrey is, as far as I know, not traditionally Method, but for the biopic Man on the Moon, in which he plays one of his comedy idols, Andy Kaufman, he did remain in character the entire shoot. They even later made a Netflix documentary about the making of the movie called Jim and Andy. It's one of his best performances and you two should definitely check it out even if you don't know who Andy Kaufman was.
Must also again recommend The Cable Guy, the last remaining gem of Carrey's '90s broad comedy movies. Frankly, I think it's his best one. (And if you ever want to hear a commentary about the process, the Blu-ray of The Cable Guy has audio commentary from director Ben Stiller, producer and uncredited writer Judd Apatow, and Jim Carrey.)
Not everyone got the tone of Cable Guy when it came out. They expected wacky, fun Jim, and got dark, manic Jim.
@@LordVolkovyes, the Cable Guy showed how versatile Jim really is… people are STUPID who think he always plays the character
Yes Jim doesn’t like to repeat characters, that’s the main reason he didn’t wanna do it. That’s what makes him different among other comedic actors… he’s actually talented and versatile like Robin Williams
Fun fact, Jim Carrey forgot his lines; so he started singing Chitty Chitty bang bang. They kept it in :)
23:17 - 23:19 he also played wizard in Legend of the Seeker series, it was good series
also side character in Aquamarine
"Pets, wild, or food" is a wild way to describe your love for an animal. 9:45
The blonde bushwacker is a guy you've seen before. He was the gyro captain in The Road Warrior and reappeared in Beyond Thunderdome
George, you nailed it right on the head. Ace also would NEVER be afraid of an animal even a bat.
I forgot Steve Oedekerk made this. If you haven't watched it, Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist is a must see.
Jim Carrey doing William Shatner on a plane was a spoof of the Twilight Zone ep where Shatner played a guy who say a gremlin on the plane's wing. Was re-created for the Twilight Zone movie with John Lithgow.
The opening is parodying The movie Cliffhanger feature Stallone
"There's someone on the wing!" in a William Shatner impression. It refers to an old Twilight Zone episode with a man, Shatner, afraid of flying and trying to conquer his fears on a flight. He has a window seat and can see some gremlin messing with the wing-mounted engine, making it flame out.
Holy fuck. That Act 3 diablo II was a fuckin deep cut, George, and I'm so glad you said it.
There's something on the wing! is a Shatner reference and was also parodied on the simpsons tree house of horror (gremlin on the side the school bus rather than a plane)
The way Simone says “WOOW!!” in disgust 😂😂😂 @14:24
I also used to think that the song was `Secret Asian Man` for years
That tall hunter from the hut was in the second and third matrix movies, he played the train man.
Ace's Shatner impression on the plane is a spoof of the 1963 Twilight Zone episode “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”.
Love these movies. They're just so quotable. Nothing is better than a well placed, *"shhhhooooocaca."*
19:00 Ace Ventura: "Three darts is too _much!"_
Alexei Shostakov: "I can relate."
No joke, I was in Rivera Maya couple years ago, and the bit at 6:05, our bus driver was doing the same thing with his head! It was a gold moment and I died inside.
"21:24 Ooh schitt, issz that Tommj Davidson?"
Yes that rhino or I should say robot rhino scene became a huge meme like 2 yrs ago. I loved that so much that and the scene with the monopoly guy rocked and are so funnnyyyy.
I like the first one more, too.
That little guy Ace fights, his name is Tommy Davidson. He was on In Livin Color with Jim Carry. He was also the voice of Timon I the Lion King.
Simone’s continued reference to Robin Hood Men In Tights makes me “So Happy” 😂❤
28:10 that a cigarette lighter, almost all cars had them, you push it in & in a few seconds it would pop back out nice & hot for lighting your cigarette or whatever.
Unless you're talking about how it opened, then that's because it's a monster truck & they're built different.
I still know every word. I cried laughing at the scene when he’s messing around in the projector room with the slides. Better than the original, in my opinion. Soo damn funny. 😂😂😂
