Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe oversized teeth on the Mask character were originally to be used only during silent scenes, but Jim Carrey learned to talk while wearing them to make his character that much more wacky.
- GoofsThe detective says that the bank was robbed by a guy in a green mask, but the surveillance tape is black and white. He could have connected this crime to the events of the previous night, where there were eyewitnesses.
- Crazy creditsWhen all the credits have finished some jazz drumming is heard. Then the familiar sounds of The Mask are heard saying "Yo-ho-ho-ho" (in a very drawn voice) then the sound of The Mask spinning away is heard straight after.
- Alternate versionsThere is a deleted scene in which the hood rats harassed Stanley and took his watch prior to entering his apartment building and after getting the mask from the polluted river, this explains why he punished the hoodlums and why they asked for the time, it also clarifies when Stanley's landlady asks him if he knows what time it is and he answers that he actually does not.
- ConnectionsEdited into Jim Carrey: Cuban Pete (1994)
Featured review
Carrey is on top mad-cap form in the Mask, he plays Stanley Ipkiss, a boring Mr. nice guy with a longing for more excitement and success in his life. When he finds a relic of an ancient mask, he gets slightly more than he could have dreamt of; he becomes a cartoonish superhero and at last he can live out his desires; or not!
This film also introduced the very beautiful Cameron Diaz, and what man can forget her first screen appearance as she breezes in to the bank in all her splendour.
Hilariously funny, cracking special effects and a thoroughly entertaining story, the Mask is a winner people, and it's an absolute must-see for everyone who likes a bit of Jim Carrey madness.
7/10
