Ace Ventura Halloween

The 1994 comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is passed around by Warner Bros. Pictures. Its stars include Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura, Courteney Cox as Melissa Robinson, Sean Young as Lt. Lois Einhorn, Tone Loc as Emilio, and Dan Marino as himself. The manufacturers are Gary Barber (The Love Guru), Peter Bogart (Con Air), Bob Israel (Bachelor Party), and James G. Robinson (Major League II). This film is directed by Tom Shadyac (Liar, Liar).

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective takes place in Miami, Florida. The story focuses on a wacky pet detective named Ace Ventura. He finds and reunites lost pets with their owners. Two weeks before the Miami Dolphins are to play in the Super Bowl, their dolphin mascot Snowflake is stolen. The Head of Operations Roger Podacter and Chief Publicist Melissa Robinson are told to find Snowflake by Super Bowl Sunday or find new jobs. Melissa decides to call on the services of Ace Ventura. While inspecting the tank, Ace finds a little amber stone in the filter. He concludes that it is from a ring. After clearing local billionaire and fish aggregator Ronald Kamp, the pet detective discovers that the stone is, in fact, from the 1984 AFC Championship ring. Ace hunts down and clears seemingly every one who was a portion of that team and finds himself at a deadend until he and Melissa learn that Roger Podacter has passed from physical life of an evident suicide attempt. The two of them go to visit the crime scene and the pet detective proves that Podacter was in truth murdered. He and Melissa head to the stadium to check out the rings’ receipts. While in the office, Ace discovers a team photo from 1984 that is dissimilar from the one he had been using to track the other players and coaches. He notices the kicker Ray Finkle. Melissa informs him that it was Finkle who missed the field goal that would have won the Super Bowl for the Dolphins that year. The following day Ace heads down to the kicker’s hometown in Collier County where he finds his parents. The kicker’s senile mother shows him the clip of the missed field goal and the pet detective discovers that quarterback Dan Marino was the holder on that kick. Ray Finkle blames Marino for the missed kick and what happened to him afterwards. Ace without delay calls Melissa and warns her that Dan Marino may soon join Snowflake.

When I basi saw this film, I noticed a parallel amidst it and what happened in Super Bowl XXV when kicker Scott Norwood missed the final field goal that would have won the Super Bowl for the Buffalo Bills over the New York Giants. Like Norwood, Finkle’s kick missed wide right. I soon ran into that the film was, in fact, loosely based on what happened in that game. Of course, there are a few differences. For instance, the clip of the miss said it was from Super Bowl XVII. In the real Super Bowl XVII, the Miami Dolphins did actually lose the game but it was versus the Washington Redskins and not the San Francisco 49ers, as the film indicates. The final score shows the game was decisive by 10 points, 27-17, and not by one point.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was the film that genuinely got Jim Carrey’s acting career going. Film viewers got a taste of his comedic acting style. Jim Carrey was seen as someone who was not affrighted to make a finish fool out of himself in order to get a lot of laughs. Scenes like the one where he bends over and talks from his rear and his phrase “Alrighty, then!” became synonymous with him. Similar films, like Dumb & Dumber and The Mask, helped Carrey win the 1994 MTV Award for Best Comedic Performance.

To wrap, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a unfeigned Jim Carrey film so if you’re a fan, you ought to see it!

Ace Ventura Wig
By Jason C. Tyrell
The wig was an inferrior product to what I beleived it would have been. First of all, the wig was smashed down due to such a little box, and it was closely inconceivable to fix. Next, the wig was dark black, not similar to the reputation in the movie Ace Ventura, which had brown hair. I was not happy with the product which I had ordered. It turned out so bad, that I was in truth unable to use it for an Ace Ventura costume.
