In any case, if there is a transphobic or homophobic trope that this film misses, I cannot think of it. Height and weight are similarly malleable, but lord knows, nobody ever brings up banning spray on tanning products, hair dye, colored contacts, diet pills, or any of the kinds of surgery one could use to change one's physical stature or THE TERRORISTS WIN. Never mind that if one wanted to change one's identity, it's much easier to change things like eye/hair/skin color then it is to go through the surgical procedures to change one's gender/sex. What's amusing about this, is that they're concern could have easily been based off of a juvenile plot twist from this film. So, in any case some of the higher ups for the Bush administration openly cited transgender/transsexual people as a security concern. This scene is clearly meant to tell the audience that the film ahead is an empty, soul eating endeavor that will completely destroy all that is funny or humorous in our world. It's almost as subtle as the one featured in the opening scene where Ace Ventura is shown kicking a package down a hallway, thereby destroying the contents. This moment is clearly intended as a sublime metaphor for the films tragic denouement.
Instead of an innocent dolphin swimming inside, Ace Ventura finds instead a giant man eating shark. There is a scene in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective where Ace Ventura, while searching for Snowflake, comes across a large aquarium. His investigation will take him on a bizare path, one filled with twists and surprises. When the beloved Miama Dolphins football team mascot (Snowflake) goes missing, the teams publicist Melissa (Courteney Cox) calls upon the services of Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) to get the aquatic mammal back. Writer: Jack Bernstein, Tom Shadyac, and Jim CarreyĬast: Jim Carrey, Courteney Cox, Sean Young, Tone Loc, Dan Marino, Noble Willingham, Udo KierĪn overly transphobic and homophobic turd of a film from the mid-90's, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective commits the ultimate sin for a comedy not only is it offensive, it isn't really all that funny.
