A comedy movie series starring Jim Carrey. The first film was 1994's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and it's the movie that catapulted Carrey into A-list fame when it became a surprise hit. It was followed by a sequel, 1995's Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and an Animated Adaptation (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective). An adventure video game adaptation was released in 1997.The entire gimmick of Ace Ventura is that he's a modern-day Sherlock Holmes… mixed with Beavis and Doctor Dolittle. Using these "skills", Ace becomes a Pet Detective, finding and saving animals. In the first movie he appears as nothing more than a local nut helping people find their lost cats and whatnot, but being the only Pet Detective in the area,note and possibly existence he gets roped into a high-profile investigation.The first film epitomizes the nineties: antiheroic lead, fourth-wall breakages, pop culture references, and raunchy humor (toned down slightly for the second movie and animated series), as well the hero talking out of his ass, as in he literally talks out of his ass; however, it also featured a fairly intelligent plot and featured Courteney Cox as Melissa Robinson and Sean Young as Lt. Lois Einhorn.As of 2009 it now has its own Spin-Offspring, the direct-to-DVD Ace Ventura Jr., Pet Detective (with Josh Flitter in the title role).

Bloodless Carnage: Ace is attacked by a shark in the first movie, complete with being dragged around in a circle like he was in the opening scene of Jaws. The worst he gets is some torn-up clothes.

When he reveals the fact to entire SWAT squad, the whole group, both male and female, starts spitting and puking, with emphasis on Tone Loc's character scratching his tongue with his fingers. So does the bottlenose dolphin. Then, when he strips her down to her underwear but she still appears to lack the evidence, a tied-up Dan Marino calls his attention to reveal one more detail. Ace strolls back to her and turns her around, revealing that she still has her equipment… tucked in between her legs, presumably with duct tape. Cue the SWATs doing the retching routine. And they even put in the same music as when he had his own revelation!

Artistic License – Biology: Dolphins are documented as engaging in homosexual behavior in the wild; this was known even in the early 1990s when this film was made. So Snowflake participating in the Unsettling Gender-Reveal at the end is not necessarily Truth in Television. Or he could've just been mimicking everyone else.

Railing Kill
 Ace Ventura / int_1972ef89
comment
Railing Kill: Ace deduces that Roger Podacter was the victim of one of these, instead of being Driven to Suicide, by means of a Sherlock Scan of Podacter's apartment and subsequent Spotting the Thread — namely that a spot of blood was still present on the railing, and that his dying scream could not have come from the balcony with the soundproof sliding door closed as it was when people first entered the apartment thereafter. It turns out that Podacter had discovered that Lois Einhorn had a penis in a moment of close or intimate contact (possible realizing she was Ray Finkle), and the disguised Finkle decided to kill him to keep him quiet, and then shut the balcony door on the way out.

Ambiguous Situation

comment
Ambiguous Situation: It's unknown what happened to the real Lois Einhorn. The article Ace found mentions that she went missing after going on a hike, and the article says that police couldn't find "the body" of Einhorn, but her fate is left ambiguous. The implication is that Ray Finkle had something to do with it, but deleted scenes and the original script say otherwise. In any case, whatever happened to the real Lois Einhorn is left up in the air.

Good Is Not Nice
 Ace Ventura / int_21f3aa44
comment
Good Is Not Nice: Ace Ventura is a send-up of this sort of character, according to Jim Carrey. He literally talks out of his backside, is inherently immature and even sociopathic, but losing someone he was trying to save drives him into seclusion in a monastery. Said someone was a raccoon… A notable subversion if you realize where his loyalties lie. He's a PET detective and thus, the ones he is nicest to are ALL animals.

Chekhov's Gun
 Ace Ventura / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Early in the first film, Ace sees that Snowflake the dolphin was trained to fetch a ball and kick it when the trainer says "Blue 52!". A deleted scene subverts it: Ace uses the routine to have Snowflake disarm Einhorn of her gun, but when he tries to have Snowflake give him the gun, he hands it back to Einhorn. When Snowflake is kidnapped, a tiny gem is knocked off the kidnapper's ring and Ace finds it in the pool's filter, and he eventually discovers that it belongs to a Miami Dolphins championship ring, which eventually leads to him investigating Ray Finkle (who got the ring even if the team lost the Super Bowl). Einhorn (or rather Finkle) brings the ring with her to the final confrontation and Ace adds insult to injury after taking her down by removing it from her hand to confirm the clue.

The whole thing is finally solved by an eccentric private investigator who only searches for missing animals.

Unsettling Gender-Reveal
 Ace Ventura / int_2d409194
comment
Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Done as part of a parody of The Crying Game, with the villain actually being Lt. Lois Einhorn, who this whole time was really the missing football player Ray Finkle, having gone through complete transition (but remaining non-op), adopted the identity of a missing hiker, and became a Lieutenant, seemingly all in the sake of the perfect disguise.note According to Word of God, the script for Ace… was nearing completion when The Crying Game was released. The inclusion of the song was the filmmakers' way of venting their frustration over someone else using the "He's a she" twist before they got a chance to. This is what got Roger Podacter killed. He discovered Einhorn is Finkle after finding "Captain Winky" and let out a scream before he was pushed off the balcony.

Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?: An interesting use in the first movie - First Ace feels what he thinks is a gun while Lois Einhorn tries to seduce him, and points it out ("Your gun is digging into my hip."). But later, when he learns who Einhorn really is, Ace gets promptly squicked and begins to cry "It wasn't a gun! It wasn't a gun!", with the Boy George song "The Crying Game" playing in the background. Made even more hilarious if you speak any German, as "Einhorn" means "Unicorn" or, literally, "one horn".

Disproportionate Retribution: Miss a field goal? For Ray Finkle, that means working almost a decade on a plot to get revenge on the team that fired you by stealing (and maybe killing) their mascot and kidnap and kill the player that didn't put the ball with the laces facing the right way. For Finkle's family, it's being driven crazy by a whole town that, even many years afterwards, still "proudly" shows the graffiti that denigrated Finkle (among other methods of harassment).

Caught on the Jumbotron: Ace gets into a fight with Swoop, the Philadelphia Eagles' mascot, on a Jumbotron at the end of the first movie. The reason? He shooed away a runaway pigeon that had a cool reward of $25,000 on its head. Good news is, it was the opposing team's mascot; and the Dolphins were yukking it up, along with Melissa. This gets coupled with Description Cut since the announcer introduced him as a lover of all life's creatures just before he got caught.

Police Are Useless: The Miami police department don't get anywhere in finding Snowflake themselves, and miss an important clue in the investigaton of Roger Podacter's death. Though this may be justified, as Einhorn was behind both events, and deliberately kept the department off-course.

 Ace Ventura / int_6941e30b
comment
Room Full of Crazy: Ray Finkle's room in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, covered with scrawls of "Laces Out" and "Die Dan Die," left Ace (and the audience) in no doubt that Finkle lost his mind following the disastrous missed field goal that cost the Dolphins the Super Bowl and that he's got some rather ugly designs on Dan Marino, whom he blames for the whole thing. Ace would later say of the room, "Cozy, if you're Hannibal Lecter." It gets even creepier when you remember that his parents' house is covered in graffiti that degrades and vilifies him. It's hatred within hatred.

In the first movie, there are two. The first is Ace seeing Ray Finkle on a photo of the Miami Dolphins' team, realizing he's a player whom Ace hadn't looked into yet. The second is Ace realizing that Lois Einhorn and Ray Finkle are the same person, thus solving the case... though this comes bundled with a more minor case of Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap! when Ace realizes that he'd been sexually attracted to Einhorn.

Somewhere, a Mammalogist Is Crying: Melissa and Roger's boss keep calling Snowflake a fish, though Melissa corrects him that dolphins are mammals. He cares less about proper terminology and more about the Super Bowl and the bad publicity that would come from news of a missing mascot. Einhorn refers to Snowflake as a porpoise, which Ace enthusiastically takes the opportunity to correct her on.

Rewatch Bonus
 Ace Ventura / int_97926168
comment
Rewatch Bonus: When Ace is demonstrating how Podacter couldn't have committed suicide, there are some reaction shots from the officers on the scene. There's a lot of annoyance over how a pet detective that they hold in contempt found a massive hole in their preferred theory, but at one point, Einhorn looks the most apprehensive and, after being so forceful and cantankerous earlier, appears stunned speechless. Einhorn is really Ray Finkle and murdered Podacter, meaning this is a realization that closing the balcony door has put the decade-long revenge scheme in jeopardy. This similarly also recontextualizes Einhorn's immediate and furious orders to Aguado to remove Ace from the crime scene. On the first watch, Einhorn's angry because Ace has just humiliated her and the MPD. On the rewatch, Einhorn's fury is actually because Ace has begun putting the pieces together and is now endangering The Plan.

Foreshadowing: There are hints of Lois Einhorn's true identity as Ray Finkle. For example: Her name means "one horn" in German, also used as the name of the unicorn. She has an unnaturally deep voice in comparison to the other female characters in the film. Another bonus is the apples and banana on her desk, which make a phallic shape as seen here◊. When Einhorn first appears, Ace says, "Holy testicle Tuesday!" At Podacter's apartment, his dog barks at Lois. Because it witnessed her committing the murder. She also touches a bloodstain with her bare finger, and becomes momentarily paralyzed when Ace conducts a sound test on the balcony door. While Einhorn is making out with Ace, he comments that her gun is poking him. Einhorn's whole demeanor changes when Ace mentions Ray Finkle, implying her involvement. Plus, when Ace talks about Ray Finkle Einhorn looks frustrated and plays with her hands. Emilio finding the love letter to Roger Podacter from Einhorn sent to him the same day he died.

The Ace: Ace Ventura is not only very good as a pet detective. He always has a snappy comeback to ridicule, he’s a skilled fighter, he’s great with the ladies and can last in bed for hours.

Revenge by Proxy
 Ace Ventura / int_b77eb3b2
comment
Revenge by Proxy: Ray Finkle's plan, in a nutshell. While Finkle is going after the person he directly blames for his failings – Dan Marino – it's dubious as to whether or not Marino really held the ball "laces in" as Finkle so often claims he did. And even if Marino did mess up, Finkle is willing to kidnap innocent people, steal a live dolphin that couldn't have been responsible, screw the Miami Dolphins out of a Super Bowl win when the current players had nothing to do with Finkle's miss, and assume a missing woman's identity in order to throw the cops off of his trail. The members of Ray Finkle's hometown have never forgiven him for missing the kick in the Super Bowl, causing them to deface Ray's old childhood home and harass his parents. This has driven Ray's mother into being a Cloud Cuckoolander, and made Ray's father so paranoid that he comes to the door with a shotgun.

Really Gets Around: Implied with Einhorn. When Ace outs Einhorn as a trans woman, every cop in attendance begins spitting in disgust. That includes at least one female cop. Ace himself has this reputation, first with the rich lady that he rescued the dog for in the opening. Then there was Melissa and almost Einhorn. Lastly, it was implied that Ace took the virginity of the Wachati princess.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: A news broadcast of the Super Bowl game notes that due to Marino’s disappearance, a young replacement quarterback has to start the game. When the game resumes after halftime with Marino returning, the score is revealed to be 14-17 in the opposing team’s favour. That’s actually a very good score all things considered, and the Dolphins are still within a competitive range. Not bad for a young replacement being the starter quarterback for a Super Bowl game.

Never Suicide
 Ace Ventura / int_cfbd1467
comment
Never Suicide: And Conviction by Contradiction; halfway through the first movie, Dolphins administrator Roger Podacter supposedly commits suicide. The police are quick to assume it's suicide brought on by the stress of the upcoming Super Bowl, which the players are becoming increasingly paranoid about due to Snowflake's disappearance. Ace Sherlock Scans the room, finds a spot of blood under the railing, then says murder. Einhorn is quick to dismiss him, but Ace is quick to determine a witness heard Podacter scream, supposedly as he threw himself from his hotel balcony. He then determines that the police had to open the balcony door when they entered the hotel room. Finally, he goes to the balcony and starts screaming at the top of his lungs while sliding the door open and shut, perfectly silencing his scream.

"Eureka!" Moment
 Ace Ventura / int_d129e13e

"Eureka!" Moment: In the first movie, there are two. The first is Ace seeing Ray Finkle on a photo of the Miami Dolphins' team, realizing he's a player whom Ace hadn't looked into yet. The second is Ace realizing that Lois Einhorn and Ray Finkle are the same person, thus solving the case... though this comes bundled with a more minor case of Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap! when Ace realizes that he'd been sexually attracted to Einhorn. In Ace Ventura Jr. The titular character has just caught the criminal stealing rare animals, congratulating himself by saying “Like father, like son�. Then he sees the criminal’s kid making a run for it and thinks back to the missing pets case that kickstarted the plot, realising how true that adage applies.

Sex for Services: Deconstructed. Ace is shown helping a former Playmate by returning her dog from a jilted lover at the start of the first film. She repays him with sex, but Ace still is left struggling for cash afterwards because he keeps doing so for various clients instead of demanding payment. After all, attractive woman or not, sex alone doesn't pay the rent.

 Ace Ventura / int_e462893a
comment
Artistic License – Sports: A 1984 AFC Championship ring for the Miami Dolphins is a Macguffin, yet the resulting Super Bowl between the Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers is mentioned as XVII. Super Bowl XVII was the 1983 one, where the Dolphins lost to the Washington Redskins, not the 1985 one (XIX) with the San Francisco 49ers that is shown. Also, Dan Marino wasn't on the Miami Dolphins during Super Bowl XVII, and Miami never lost by a last-second missed field goal in either Super Bowl; that was based on the "Wide Right" kick missed by Scott Norwood of the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV. (Granted, Norwood faced tons of disdain missing that kick, but thankfully, he didn't take things nearly as far as Ray Finkle does in this movie.) The writers of the film noted this, saying that it was set in a slightly alternate universe to our own where Dolphins/49ers was Super Bowl XVII.invoked

Brain Bleach: Ace reacts to the realization that a woman who he was sexually attracted to used to be a man by vomiting his entire stomach's contents into the toilet (using a plunger on his face), burning his clothes and then scrubbing himself down in the shower while sobbing. The scene was a spoof of The Crying Game. And even came with the song (as sung by Boy George) in the background. The next scene, he's in his car, chewing a whole package of Big Red gum. "Your gun is digging into my hip. Eyuh!" "It wasn't a gun! IT WASN'T A GUN!" When he reveals the fact to entire SWAT squad, the whole group, both male and female, starts spitting and puking, with emphasis on Tone Loc's character scratching his tongue with his fingers. So does the bottlenose dolphin. Then, when he strips her down to her underwear but she still appears to lack the evidence, a tied-up Dan Marino calls his attention to reveal one more detail. Ace strolls back to her and turns her around, revealing that she still has her equipment… tucked in between her legs, presumably with duct tape. Cue the SWATs doing the retching routine. And they even put in the same music as when he had his own revelation!

Complexity Addiction: Ray Finkle's scheme is to get back at the Miami Dolphins, and Dan Marino in particular, for (supposedly) making the laces on the ball face the wrong way when Finkle tried a game-winning field goal in Super Bowl XVII, causing Finkle to miss the kick. You would think that Finkle would just shoot Marino, or something equally simple. Instead, Finkle spends a long time building a fake identity, infiltrating the Miami police department, and escalating in the ranks until he becomes the Mole in Charge of the investigation that will ensue from his crimes. That done, Finkle has to get the resources for the kidnapping of both the Dolphins' mascot Snowflake – a real-life bottlenose dolphin – and Marino himself during the next Super Bowl that the Dolphins make it to. And all of this is so the Dolphins will lose the Super Bowl, while Marino is Forced to Watch them lose on TV before he dies. And on top of all of that, Finkle gets a sex change to assume the identity of a missing hiker named Lois Einhorn. Yet there's no step in this plan to capture/kill Marino and Snowflake made easier by being Einhorn. One might argue that it allows Finkle to mislead the investigation and cover his tracks, but the cops were nowhere near solving that crime without Ace, whom Finkle couldn't have known about when adopting the Einhorn identity.
