Trivia

• When driving to the consulate for the first time, Jim Carrey forgot his lines, so he started singing the theme from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968). Both actors stayed in character, and the director loved it, so they kept it in.
• Despite Jim Carrey only doing this movie due to contractual obligation, the studio attempted to get him interested in doing another Ace Ventura movie several times throughout the years. He always declined
• Jim Carrey’s $15 million salary was exactly half of the film’s $30 million budget.
• The animals in the movie live all across Africa, and most of their ranges don’t overlap in real life.
• Jim Carrey improvised the part when Ace Ventura sneezes in front of the Wachati tribe.
• The monster truck Ace drives is a 1989 Chevrolet S-10 Modified.
