Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is a live-action film released in 1995, serving as sequel to Ace Ventura (released the preceding year). Jim Carrey reprises his role to interpret the eponymous eccentric pet detective.After his adventure in the first movie, he's become pretty well known as a pet detective. The second movie's story begins when Ace Ventura fails to save a raccoon in the Himalayas, as the animal falls down a cliff and dies. Devastated by this turn of events, he joins a Tibetan monastery to restore his battered mind. During his tenure there, Ace is hired to recover a sacred bat stolen from two African tribes before war erupts between them, in the fictional country of Nibia.The movie retains the comedy and quirky tone of its predecessor, but the raunchy humor is toned down. Notably, while Carrey enjoyed himself in the original, he allegedly disliked the sequel so much that he vowed to never do a sequel again, a vow he kept for twenty years until he made Dumb and Dumber To in 2014. | |

Negated Moment of Awesome | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_144ec68f | comment |
Negated Moment of Awesome: Ace gets pretty angry when a fight between him and a Wachootoo tribesman sees Ace's hair getting changed into horns. Ace takes exception to that, with the music swelling and Ace getting fired up. Cue a Gilligan Cut, and Ace is getting his butt kicked even worse. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: The Indian elephant is excusable, as they're much more docile and easier to train than African elephants. But not a single animal in Quinn's warehouse was African. There were a Bengal tiger (Asian), a jaguar, macaws and a toucan (all South American). Quinn also wasn't surprised to see Spike, a South American black-capped capuchin, implying he has a few of those around as well. He most likely illegally smuggled the animals away from their natural habitat to put on his safari tour. Ace, when he first meets Quinn, points out that his pet raven Tinky isn't even from Africa. Then there is the skunk that Ace somehow gets his hands on for the final battle, how he found a American species in the jungle is anyone's guess. | |

Chased by Angry Natives | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_185e498d | comment |
Chased by Angry Natives: After Ace stops the battle just before it begins, Cadby tries to sneak away while everyone is kneeling. Unfortunately for him, Ouda spots him and alerts the others. At the end. Ace deflowered the bride-to-be of the Wachootoo Tiny Warrior that already mopped the floor with him earlier. Ace managed to skate out of being killed by the Wachootoo and was on friendly terms with both them and the Wachati. Then the Tiny Warrior notices... cue everyone chasing Ace in murderous anger. | |

Reflexive Remark of Reverence | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_21309fd | comment |
Reflexive Remark of Reverence: The Wachati and the Wachootoo always kneel in respect whenever they hear the word "Shikaka". Ace first makes fun of it by saying a barrage of words in front of the Wachati chief and Ouda that start with an "Sh-" sound like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Chicago", but later it becomes a Chekhov's Gun that allows Ace to stop the tribal war before it begins, by running between the charging tribes with the bat held high and screaming its name at the top of his lungs. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Ace's initial Sherlock Scan of Cadby alerts him to an abrasion on his palm and a white stain on his shoe, which he uses to deduce that Cadby slipped on some shoddy masonry work. This later clues him in to the fact that the white substance Cadby slipped on was in fact guano, which along with its substantial monetary value made him the true culprit. During the start of his investigation, Ace plays drums with several mushroom heads growing on a tree... the red, fungus-bearing acala. | |

| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_46f86041 | comment |
Bad Vibrations: Done subtly (at first). As the villain is indulging in a low-key Evil Gloating with a slight What Could Possibly Go Wrong?, everyone falls silent as they feel the house start to vibrate. At first, it's quiet, as if they could possibly be imagining the sound. But it gets louder, and louder, until a horde of animals bursts through the wall, followed by Ace on an ostrich in a Big Damn Heroes moment. | |

Instant Sedation: Uses the humorous muscle paralysis angle, of course, but he's still blacking out after a rather short chase. Of course, three darts was too much. So were the half-dozen or so that nailed him in the back right after he "thought he lost them". | |

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: In When Nature Calls, when the Wachati princess performs a seductive dance, Ace tries to resist her advances, talking about his Vow of Celibacy. Later, his associate catches him masturbating in his tent. His excuse is he was just "practicing my mantra" and will finish his "meditation" in 10 minutes. | |

Detective Patsy | |

Detective Patsy: Ace is hired by Vincent Cadby to find a white bat which is sacred to the Wachiti tribe, as the theft of the animal could potentially lead to war between the Wachiti and the Wachootoo. Ace ultimately discovers that Cadby is the one who stole the bat to manipulate the two tribes into destroying each other, allowing him to claim the bat guano in their bat caves and sell it for valuable fertilizer. As there would have been an investigation after the war, Cadby hired Ace to make it look like he had done everything he could to prevent the war by trying to help find the bat. | |

Trolling Translator: Ace gets his Wachati guide Ouda to translate his words into the Wachootoo language...badly. It's left to the viewers' imagination whether Ouda is actually a bad translator, or if he's working to keep Ace alive with his mistranslations; the Wachootoo don't seem like peace-loving people, and might take fatal offense to Ace's cowardice. Though, given that at one point he has Ace calling himself a princess, Ouda is likely either genuinely bad or a giant Troll. | |

Shout-Out: "There's… something on the wing… some… thing!" While driving crazily through the African jungle, he takes the time to sing the title song of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. When being repeatedly pushed by a guard after being detained, Ace refers to him as "H.R. Shove-N-Stuf". | |

Just Plane Wrong | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_ce1c73e2 | comment |
Just Plane Wrong: The opening sequence features Ace climbing some Alpine-looking mountains, dressed in suspenders and shorts often stereotypically portrayed on Swiss alpinists, and there is a helicopter flying around him painted in crimson red with a white cross at each side — the symbol and flag of Switzerland. The aircraft's tail number (license plate)? Canadian registration. | |

Clever Crows: When Ace first meets Quinn, he prefers to greet Quinn's pet raven Tinky, rather than Quinn himself, and Ace identifies Tinky as a Common raven with the scientific name Corvus Corax. The smartest of all birds: | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Zigzagged. While this film has considerably less offensive swearing, sexual jokes, and vulgarity than the original film, there are also some dark or vulgar jokes that rival or even top it (such as two birth-related jokes, Toilet Humor related to bat poop and the aforementioned Black Comedy Rape of its main villain). | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Ace is looking for a ride to chase after Cadby, who's escaping into the jungle. The only car in the parking lot with keys oh-so-conveniently left in the ignition is a big honking monster truck with tires half the size of the other guy's jeep. Possibly it could be the Australian poachers' ride, though we never see them use the truck. | |

Flanderization: For all Ace's wackiness in the first film, the sequel dialled it up tenfold. While in Pet Detective he is shown having a few brief moments of at least acting like a normal person, When Nature Calls has him all-out at all times. | |

Product Placement | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: An obvious ad of Subway is placed on a highway billboard early in the film. Probably not so much product placement as irony, as literally right before that Ace mentions something about loving being out in the wild, i.e. without things like Subway. A Subway commercial at the time uses editing to make it look like Ace, after passing the Highway Billboard, takes a sharp turn and speeds up to get to the restaurant. | |

Drives Like Crazy: Ace Ventura already drove like crazy in the first film, but outdoes himself this time. In each film, he swerves into parking spots so he can fit "like a glove!" but now he drives straight through a jungle to reach to consulate in Africa. His crazy driving is put to good use when he chases the bad guys in a monster truck. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl | |
| Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: When Ace confronts a woman wearing an animal skin across her shoulders, and she pompously says there's nothing wrong with it and that he should try it sometime, he replies by cold-clocking her slightly-less-obnoxious husband and wearing him over his shoulders like an animal skin, rather than her. This may have been the reason, but it's just as likely that Ace just wanted to demonstrate to her face how hypocritical she was being. | |
