[@nsasupporter7557]

CLARISS, have you seen Dumb and Dumber?

[@johnpaullogan1365]

the mask was a horror comic about what happens if you give people toon powers and remove their inhibitions. this movie was meant to be a dark horror movie to complement the nightmare on elm street franchise. than jim carrey tried out and they decided to rewrite the entire movie

[@parinthianquattropani9071]

Tex Avery is the cartoonist most emulated through the mask.

[@Cinemabu11]

I like that they gave a reason as to why The Mask acts like a cartoon, because Stanley enjoys them and watches them. It's a small thing, but one thing that makes this movie so good.

[@nikomatallana4102]

Exactly. It’s basically something to set up exactly what kind of person Stanley is. Then when he’s the Mask, he suddenly turns all of his exaggeration up to 180. And when he becomes the Mask, it doesn’t feel entirely different because he was already eccentric. But he basically goes from eccentric, to hyper! 😂

[@TripleBMike]

Did you know Jim Carrey was only supposed to use those teeth temporarily, but he was able to talk with them throughout the whole movie? That's serious talent!

[@daveman-1997]

Did you know that Jim Carrey improvised the iconic line “Sssmokin’”? The line in the script was “Sssnazzy”

[@SleepySloth2705]

Fun fact: The comics the movie is adapted from is extremely dark and brutal. His cartoon-logic powers don't extend to the people around him, so his victims suffer gruesome torture and death. He's not even called the Mask in the comics, but rather the Big-Head Killer. Stanley doesn't even have that much long time in the mask, he gets killed by his girlfriend for being a useless manchild and she takes over the mask for quite some time

[@erikagholston6610]

Thanks, idk it was based on a comic.

[@aaronstevenson4136]

Apparently in the movie, the mask only works at night. But in the cartoon, it works any time.

[@Psycopathicus]

The thing with the Mask which I think gets forgotten a lot is that he, as a character, is not SUPPOSED to be particularly sympathetic. He's Stanley's Id personified; he's every crazy thing that Stanley's ever wanted to do or say - he has no self-restraint whatsoever. Stanley's the sympathetic one - the Mask is just pure wackiness and self-indulgence, which, yeah, often doesn't make for the nicest of people.

[@fynnthefox9078]

Hell, in the comic book source material, the Mask is a murderous psychopath who kills people for shits and giggles.

[@bobjohnston1239]

the thing about this movie was at the time movies were on a big kick of The regular Guy doesn't get the Hot Girl. And The Mask deconstructed it perfectly with the reporter lady and Cameron Diaz.

[@stephanginther9051]

The actress who played Peggy (the reporter) here played maid Marian in 'Robin Hood Men In Tights.' Which...if you haven't seen it that's a priority. One of Mel Brook's best works in my opinion. The guy who plays Robin Hood is the same guy who played Westly in 'The Princess Bride.' Plus Andre the Giant is pretty amazing in it. Andre was super proud of his role in that movie.

[@kyrauniversal]

Hell yeah!

[@unlimited971]

Robin wood with kevin cotsner is a must

[@garylogan3640]

I always got the feeling that somebody at the studio said we need to make a movie where Jim Carrey can just be a cartoon character. And they pulled it off magnificently, there was just enough story to carry and tie together the comedy effects. Mt fave part was where he played the lusty frenchman... Pepe le Pew to perfection, up to and including Tina's reaction, the cat trying to get away from the lovesick skunk.

[@nicholastosoni707]

Chuck Russell--the director himself--said that! He specifically wanted to make it a comedy when New Line only saw potential in the property to become a new Freddy Krueger/Elm Street.

[@danielg6566]

I have to say Milo really stole the show! What a good boy!! 🐕 🐕

[@adriantrujillo2485]

He improvised 85 percent of his scenes

[@dirkdigital]

1994 was THE year of Jim Carrey's greatest roles. "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" was released in Jan 4., "The Mask" was July 28, and "Dumb and Dumber" was Dec. 6. All three of these movies did over 706 million in box office. Not bad for a guy who was in "Earth Girls are Easy" as well as bit parts in two Clint Eastwood movies, "The Dead Pool" and "Pink Cadillac".

[@thedukeofnuts]

He was credited as "James Carrey" in The Dead Pool as I recall. I wonder why he changed it?

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

@@thedukeofnuts he was James Carrey on In Living Color too

[@goncaloalmeida7029]

This movie had a lot of special effects but I remember the director saying they managed to save about $1M in special effects just because the stuff Jim Carrey could do with his body.

[@pedrocaravela7665]

Ok little information dump here, The Mask is a comic book character published by Dark Horse Comics, the original comic unlike the movie was extremely dark and gory as hell, the movie was made more pg so it could attract more audiences and because of Jim Carrey, though this version is god tier just because of him, and the looney tunes references and styles was already a huge part of the comics.

[@fynnthefox9078]

It makes me wanna see a requel where it's a slapstick horror comedy with creative gore.

[@LilFireFox]

I just LOVE how the majority of 'The Mask Scenes' is based on Chuck Jones. I know the mid 80s to mid 90s is mostly him....

[@TonyTigerTonyTiger]

Earlier today I was watching a reaction to Terminator, and said to myself, Terminator, Predator, and Total Recall were all good Arnold movies, but they would have been good movies no matter who the star was: Arnold just bumped it up a notch. But replace Jim Carrey in The Mask, Ace Ventura, or even Liar Liar and the movies wouldn't be anywhere near as good. Jim Carey makes those movies: the fit is perfect, and no other actor could substitute for him.

[@nsasupporter7557]

That’s because he is one of the best entertainers and/or actor of all time, anyone who thinks otherwise is STUPID

[@SpiderandMosquito]

Liar Liar more than the others because I'd say that it's the only one which could've had a different lead, but it would've been *so* generic if it was. It's not bad, but it is very by the numbers. It's a safe, middle-brow comedy film premise for a safe, middle-brow comedy film. Carrey leading it gives it all the personality it wouldn't have had without him, and while there are plenty of actors who could've led it, st the time, I can't think of anyone who could've done it better or even equally.

[@Klokkwork]

Right, imagine if they'd given the role to someone else, like Jamie Kennedy or something. I can't even picture that.

[@MarceloRBottaro]

My God I LOVE This movie! One of the many movies that got me into voice acting when I was a kid, and this one is still my favorite to this day.

[@shainewhite2781]

Such a fun superhero comedy film! Before Jim Carrey played the role of Stanley Ipkiss, John Ritter, Steve Martin, Keanu Reeves, Robin Williams, Matthew Broderick, Mike Myers, Martin Short, and Rick Moranis were considered for the role. Before Cameron Diaz was cast as Tina Carlyle, Vanessa Williams, Tia Carrere, Vanessa Angel, Anna Nicole Smith, and Kristy Swanson were considered for the part. Jack Nicholson, Rupert Everett, Willem Dafoe, Dennis Hopper and Robert DeNiro were almost cast as the villain.

[@nsasupporter7557]

I’m very glad that they didn’t go with any big actors to play the villain like all the ones you just said. I’m glad they just gave the role to a small character actor like Peter Greene because this was “all eyes on Jim Carrey” he was becoming a huge star so all attention should go to him only lol

[@EddBanshee]

John Ritter as The Mask. LOL. R.I.P. But the movie probably would have failed!

[@bigdream_dreambig]

🤔 This "cartoon comedy" needed someone who could combine zaniness, charisma, and physical comedy. Of the list you gave, only Robin Williams might have been able to compete with Carrey -- but, at a decade older than Carrey's early 30s, Williams wasn't as good a fit for the roll. And I honestly can't imagine any of those other women being as good a fit as Diaz.

[@nsasupporter7557]

@@bigdream_dreambig YES… which is why Robin Williams is the only other comedian I like besides Jim Carrey. No other comedian comes close to those 2… Eddie Murphy is the only other comedian I’d pick besides those 2. As for Cameron Diaz… this is the only movie she looked good in

[@nsasupporter7557]

@@EddBanshee fun fact: the actress that played Peggy Brant in the movie was John Ritter’s wife in real life

[@alexhidalgo7110]

This is the most iconic Jim Carrey movie of all time he was the king of the 90s The mask transformation is my favorite of all time Love you and your reaction

[@crombajaa]

Good one! The lore is the power of the mask is to make anything he wishes into reality created by the God of mischief, Loki. Very powerful! It brings out his inner desires and brings them into reality and even others are affected by its influence. So, wrong hands...very bad. But in the hands of a dork or a clown, everything is just mischievous!

[@freakazonestudios7979]

Fun Fact: The Mask movie is actually based on a comic series from Dark Horse Comics and it was similar to the movie but a lot more dark and gruesome!

[@A113-p9e]

To my know, this film is a more accurate adaptation of the Jekyll and Hyde character and story than most others.

[@MovieDan1011]

I couldnt deal when you kept eye contact with us/the camera as you chair sank Clariss😂great reaction as usual one of my favourite comedys and Jim carrey movies.I'm pretty sure this was Cameron Diaz's first movie

If it actually was a william Shatner mask painted green that would have been great it would have linked the mcu to the Halloween universe to the Star Trek verse

[@casper8435]

i was 3 years old when this movie came out.

[@theshakyproject2971]

"Do Looney Tunes have a hand in this movie?" It's basically self-promotional product placement. The Looney Tunes are owned by Warner Bros. The Mask (1994) is from New Line Cinema, which is a Time-Warner studio.

[@anthonyherring5329]

Did anyone else notice that when Dorian first put on the mask one of his men to his right(out left) repositions himself when the light flashed over him just before Dorian straightened himself?

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

33:46.. The guy playing Dorian may not have spooked ya in this one, Clariss--But the weirdo he played in "Pulp Fiction" sure will!! "The Mask" was a BIG hit..Carrey's rubber-faced and body rapid-fire style of comedy was perfect for the role. There was even a 3-year cartoon series run and 5-year comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics!!

[@halcromwell9030]

My favorite mask run was a Mini series (it lasted 4 issues). It was the DC/Darkhorse crossover where the joker got the mask.

[@scottylewis8124]

In a deleted scene, after Dorian puts on the mask, He just straight up murders Peggy by tossing her in the printing press. Damn.

[@halcromwell9030]

Now that you have had the steak that is "The Mask", go check out the sticking hamburger that is "Son of the Mask" It's one of those films like "Santa Claus and at the ice cream Bunny", "The Room", "Plan 9 from outer space", etc., that is so bad, it's good.

Fun fact: when Jim Carrey played Stanley Ipkiss, he wanted to make him an interesting character as well, so people wouldn't yell "Just get to the Mask already!" so he played him as a guy who's a fan of old cartoons, which explains the Mask's personality later on, and just a little on the zany side. Apparently, his greatest source of inspiration for the character was his father.

[@d.k.t.3380]

If I remember correctly, this was one of a large number of scripts Hollywood had been sitting on for awhile not because of finding the right actor but because they had no way of pulling off the visual effects needed until "Jurassic Park" reset the standard of what was capable with computer graphics in film. "Jurassic Park" (and "Forrest Gump" for bridging the gap between blockbuster and cinema of the time and showing how CGI could be used to facilitate and further a story without overshadowing it) are 2 of the most important movies of the last 50 years for this reason: The "mini golden age" of cinema in the mid to late 90s stems from that graphics reset and bridge. That being said, I don't know that anyone else could have done as much with this role and brought it to life and believability as Jim Carrey. This truly was him at his most irreplaceable.
