Ah, yes... The Mask, a fun little Jim Carrey romp from 1994. It's one of his works from early on in his A-list film career, specifically his first film to arrive in theaters after Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. It's built on slapstick comedy and Jim Carrey contorting his face a little more than usual, and turned out to be very popular. It is based, Film of the Book style, on the comic book of the same name. Well, sort of. The original is not harmless slapstick, fitting much better in the comedy horror genre.The story of the film follows twenty-something Edge City banker Stanley Ipkiss as he finds a magical mask, endowed with the powers of the Norse Trickster God Loki, which effectively makes the wearer completely immune to absolutely everything, and capable of practically anything. In Stanley's case, this manifests as gaining the Reality Warper abilities of his beloved classic Tex Avery characters (stretching, shapeshifting, bouncing back from Amusing Injuries, and the like). While not quite reaching With Great Power Comes Great Insanity levels, he does use it to get back at the people that bullied the shy reserved nice guy Stanley, and to woo nightclub-singer Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz in her feature-film debut). When other less savory individuals get hold of it, the results are not so amusing.Following the success of this film was a well-received (and often very naughty) Saturday morning animated adaptation in 1995, which lasted until 1997.It had a Carrey-less pseudo-sequel, Son of the Mask, in 2005, which starred Jamie Kennedy and a CGI baby. Unfortunately, it disappointed and let down fans and critics hard with its disturbing CGI, below-average acting and poor attempts at humor.Not to be confused with Mask, a 1980s drama about a young man with a facial deformity and his family, the '60s Canadian horror film The Mask, or the toy-based cartoon M.A.S.K..

This Was His True Form: When a piece of the Mask's tie is shot off at the Coco Bongo, it reverts into the pajamas Stanley was wearing when he transformed. This convinces Kellaway that the Mask is Stanley, since they have a distinctive pattern.

Diesel Punk: Edge City is a world that is in equal parts the 1940s (when the cartoons the Mask copies were made) and the 1990s; there is modern technology, but the title character is a zoot-suited ladies man anti-hero, the buildings wouldn't look out of place in an old gangster movie, and the soundtrack is a swanky neo-swing.

Cruel and Unusual Death: An infamous deleted scene was going to have the Big Bad kill Peggy by crushing her to death using a printing press instead of Stanley after the latter is forced to give up the titular Mask so that the villain can become the Mask himself. Peggy then emerges out of the printing press as a newspaper written entirely in red ink, has a picture of her screaming, and is entitled "Reporter Killed in Freak Accident."

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Mask looks and speaks to the viewers multiple times. Considering he's basically a living Tex Avery creation, it makes sense. The theater audience (shown using shadows at the bottom of the screen) applaud him for his 'acting', and Dorian and his goon, realizing they're on screen, awkwardly fix their hair.

When the criminals begin to take hostages in the Coco Bongo, Stanley's cranky landlady scolds the thugs for talking back to the mayor as they're being rounded up. She's later seen escorted out of the building by a policeman while complaining about the rude criminals. When Ipkiss yells back at his boss, two police officers in the background seem to be laughing at the scene unfolding.

Absurdly Ineffective Barricade: The Mask sealing the gate to Landfill Park is a great example of this trope. He does it to keep Kellaway and Doyle inside... only to turn and find the rest of the police on the same side of the wall as him! It also doesn't do such a good job at keeping Kellaway and Doyle locked inside either; the pair simply climb over the wall.

 The Mask / int_2ec87029
comment
Sadly Mythtaken: The first film makes out that Odin banished Loki into a mask, from Valhalla, due to his mischievousness. Such a thing never happened (the closest is that Loki was banished from the company of the gods for many other reasons that culminated in duping Hodir into killing Baldur). Nor was Valhalla the home of the Norse Gods, Odin in particular had many other residences in Asgard. A more accurate statement would have been to say that Odin banished him from Asgard (a mildly accurate statement, at least). Loki appears in the sequel, and more or less angrily says that the guy who said this was full of shit. The same film also makes the statement that Loki is Odin's biological son rather than his blood brother (the Marvel Comics trap), though. He's also not a "night god", though Trickster God is a fair description.

Wrongful Accusation Insurance
 The Mask / int_2fbab42f
comment
Wrongful Accusation Insurance: Stanley Ipkiss is not only not tried for the crimes he committed in order to take down the Big Bad (breaking out of custody, stealing a car, stealing a gun, holding a police officer hostage), he is also not tried for a bank robbery he committed much earlier under the influence of the titular mask, and which could probably be linked to him. Justified in that a large number of local dignitaries saw him take down the Big Bad, and are explicitly stated to be willing to look the other way. Also justified in that the Big Bad was also wearing the mask that influenced Ipkiss to do the above in the first place, in public in front of witnesses. Everyone just assumes that he was responsible for the above as well, and that Ipkiss was set up.

Office Golf: The head Mobster in The Mask keeps a golf bag on hand. To show his dissatisfaction with ex-right-hand-man Dorian Tyrell, he drives a ball off of the guy's face. He also doesn't just putt in his office; he actually has a driving range simulator.

Extra-Strength Masquerade: The Mask moves at superhuman speeds, shapeshifts repeatedly, transforms a balloon into a functioning machine gun, voluntarily freezes and unfreezes his own body while still remaining fully conscious, defies the laws of gravity, and survives being shot in the head at point-blank range without the slightest sign of injury, all of which is either caught on camera or is seen clearly by multiple eyewitnesses. Despite this, it takes half the movie before anyone even considers the possibility that he's not just a mundane criminal wearing an ordinary green mask.

Embarrassing Pyjamas: Stanley Ipkiss has this kind of pajamas. Lampshaded by Lt. Kellaway when he interrogates Ipkiss about an incident just outside his door last night. It becomes a Chekhov's Gun when Kellaway finds a piece of the pajamas at a crime scene, and thus deduces Stanley is The Mask (the piece ended up there because is was blown off The Mask's zoot suit and reverted to Stan's clothes).

Adaptational Heroism
 The Mask / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: The Mask itself. In the comic books, it is deliberately malevolent and corrupting and compels its wearers to commit atrocity after atrocity with the immense power it gives them, before they die and it goes to its next "master". In the film it simply removes all inhibitions, letting the wearer do whatever they want to. This is why Stanley Ipkiss becomes a wisecracking mischief-maker, but the villain lets loose with all of his evil. The same can be said for Stanley Ipkiss himself. In the film, he's a lovable loser with a lot of nevertheless redeeming qualities who ultimately learns to stop relying on The Mask to solve his problems, rises to the occasion, and gets the girl. In the comics, he's a right-wing lunatic who uses The Mask as his personal hitman to kill those who wronged him for increasingly trivial reasons (such as suffocating his elementary school teacher), goes on a violent rampage against the police, and is ultimately shot and killed by his girlfriend. The Mask is a good-hearted cartoonish man who decided to become a gangster at first to get respect and fear into people knowing that Stanley was bullied by some of these people, however after seeing Tina at the Coco Bongo and how much of a good person she is to him and Stanley, he decided at the end of the film to become a superhero from now on after meeting with Dorian Tyrell and stays that way in the sequel animated series, which shows him having fun but also doing his job as a superhero as well.

That Was Not a Dream: After Stanley wakes up the next morning after first putting on the mask, he initially dismisses the whole thing as a dream, and that he should "lay off the cartoons".

Cradling Your Kill: The movie parodies Pietà Plagiarism and this trope when Stanley is shot by Darien's goons and collapses into one of the stunned henchman's arms. Stanley coughs out, "Hold me closer, Ed, it's getting dark," and rambles on until he appears to have died. The henchman, moved, starts weeping. The movie then Breaks the Fourth Wall as an audience appears in the foreground. Stanley cries, "You love me, you really love me!" and accepts an Oscar award as the villains in the shot look on self-consciously and smooth their hair. Stanley is unharmed and escapes moments later.

Blasting It Out of Their Hands: In the scene where the title character is dodging enemy fire, at a certain point he becomes a gunslinger, and loses his gun to an incoming bullet, right before his "dying at the enemy's arms" routine.

Signs of Disrepair: Once Stanley Ipkiss puts on the enchanted mask and gets its power, one of the first things he does is get revenge on Ripley Auto-Finishing, the auto repair shop that ripped him off earlier in the movie — aside from literally shoving carburetors up the asses of the mechanics, he vandalizes their sign to read "RIP OFF".

Beneath the Mask
 The Mask / int_4fbc0887
comment
Beneath the Mask: Although it doesn't get played straight (it just happens literally), this trope is one of the major themes of the movie. As laid out by the psychiatrist, everyone wears social masks hiding who they really are underneath. Putting on the supernatural artifact causes the wearer to tear off their mask and embody their id. This means that Stanley becomes The Mask by removing his social mask, though, ironically, to do so, he puts a real mask on. In the end, he has to take off this mask, and in doing so, finds a balance for himself. This still holds true for Dorian as well, since the mask that the artifact rips away is his pretenses of being a classy old-school-style mobster with a legitimate business and a sense of fair play. He becomes a blunt, brutal, thoughtless thug who kills for fun and can't think beyond his next step in getting what he wants.

Disproportionate Retribution The Ass Shove applied to the mechanics. Though given that their Establishing Character Moment implies they scam all their customers like they do Stanley they don't draw much sympathy. And it's still kinder than what happens to them in the comic. What happens after a driver almost runs over the Mask and starts honking at him. He survives, however.

Bond One-Liner: The Mask drops two of them over the course of the film. The first is played for laughs — after smashing the alarm clock that had escaped from his pockets, The Mask says "Ssssnooze!"

Affably Evil: The Mask is this at first, as he decides to become a gangster instead of a superhero, going after those who mistreat Stanley like those mechanics and robbing a bank just so he can get inside the Coco Bongo, but he is friendly, polite, sweet and nice towards Tina who — though she prefers Stanley — clearly likes him because of these things, and he is a saint as well compered to Dorian Tyrell. At the end of the film he drops the evil part and plays the "affable" part straight, deciding to become a superhero.

Police Are Useless: Except for Kellaway, the Edge City PD is pretty incompetent across the board. One standout moment (not counting the massive conga line to the sound of "Cuban Pete", or Doyle in general) is when Stanley witnesses Tina being abducted just outside the window of his prison cell. He tries to alert the guard sitting right in front of him, but he's too lazy to do anything and just thinks Stanley is trying to talk his way out.

Spontaneous Choreography: The title character and Tina do a dance number together in the club without any practice. Justified because of the Mask's magical abilities. Not to mention a big dance number with a squad of police. At one point a woman doing a solo manages to express with her eyes that she's just as confused by this development as anyone else, and is rather freaked out by the fact that her body is doing this without her say-so.

Pragmatic Adaptation: Takes the main characters from #0 and #1 of The Mask, the basic premise, and some moments, mostly comedic ones (Stanley taking revenge on thugs and mechanics, being Squashed Flat on a road, and realizing he could be a superhero "but first..."; The Mask note in the comic, it was Kellaway, who took the mask after Stanley's death doing balloon tricks) to rework it into a zany comedy instead of the gory Black Comedy of the original. The Mask being a comedic gangster who then becomes a superhero works a lot better as well along with being harmless since his comic counterpart is anything but harmless.

comment
Spared by the Adaptation: Stanley Ipkiss himself, who did not survive in the comics. The two mechanics in the comics die horribly by Big Head's hands. Here they live, instead the Mask gave them humiliating injuries, via sticking car exhaust pipes where the sun don't shine.

Reality Warping Is Not a Toy: Played with; Stanley is a good guy and therefore as The Mask is Fun Personified and uses his powers largely for personal amusement (he does get a little payback in on the side, though). Dorian is a bad guy so as The Mask he's a vaguely demonic Humanoid Abomination who abuses his powers for revenge and murder.

Crashing Dreams: Stanley has a dream of the night he was at the Coco Bongo, only he is suave and confident with a nice Porsche and dressed cleanly. Most significantly, in this dream Tina was more openly attracted to him, and instead of him taking off, he flirts with Tina and signals for her to come to him. She does so, but as the two end up in each other's arms, just as their lips are slightly brushing against each other, Tina suddenly grabs Stanley's head and starts licking his ear repeatedly, sadly forcing Stanley to wake up to realize it was all a dream and that his dog Milo is licking his ear.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Played straight and inverted in the same scene. While emptying The Mask's pockets in the park, the police find a pair of "funny eyeball glasses", to which The Mask acts as if they are incriminating ("I've never seen those before in my life."), but when a bazooka is extracted, he calmly states "I have a permit for that."

As a powerful reality warper, he could simply conjure the money into existence, but he instead decides to clean out the bank where he works. Better yet, he doesn't even spend it all, stashing the money in his closet.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Peggy Brandt, who seems to disappear from the main action towards the end. In a deleted scene, we saw her death: Dorian Tyrell caught her trying to sneak off with her money, at which point he threw her into a newspaper machine. This being "The Mask," her death was cartoonish: an "extra edition" came out of the machine, printed in red ink. Peggy's visibly pained face was on the front page, along with the accompanying headline.

Dorian is a sociopath and will kill anyone who dares to make a stand against him like Tina the woman that the Mask and Stanley both love.

Took a Level in Badass: The entire climax of the film — Stanley without the Mask breaks out of jail, cold cocks the guard, takes the detective who was hounding him hostage and walks out of the precinct (pretending to be his prisoner and pleading his innocence!). He then arrives at the club, knocks out ANOTHER guard, takes ANOTHER gun and faces off with Evil Mask. All this from the meek "Nice Guys Finish Last" banker. Oh yeah that's a level of Badass alright. This is after shouting down his boss in epic fashion after the money-swindler tries to chew him out for being late. Definitely a step up from earlier in the movie.

Foreshadowing: "Get the keys, Milo!" Stanley, after being reprimanded by his landlady for watching cartoons too loudly, apathetically flicks to a TV show with Dr. Neuman who describes the metaphorical social mask suppressing the Id. Guess what the titular mask itself enables for those who wear it? When receiving word that the Mask's fingerprints found at the bank are a match for Stanley's, Kellaway tells the communications officer to have the SWAT team on standby. "If this guy's half as bad as he's supposed to be, we're gonna have a full dance card." Well, he was right about one thing; there was dancing involved.

 The Mask / int_9dacc566
comment
Leit Motif: The Mask itself has not one, not two, but THREE separate themes depending on the mood. There's a mysterious, mystical theme that plays during scenes with the Mask by itself to show it to have otherworldly properties. There's an upbeat, jazzy tune that plays whenever Ipkiss puts on the Mask, showing how fun and wacky it can be. And finally, there's a more foreboding tune that's heavy on brass to show the Mask's dark side.

Un-Paused: The title superhero responds to a order to "Freeze!" by doing exactly that — stopping dead in midair, covered in icicles. When told by the exasperated cop to "Unfreeze" (because otherwise he can't obey a further order to put his hands up), he finishes his leap and gets tackled by the cops.

Rule of Three: "Ssssmokin'!" is said three times over the course of the movie. For literal starters, it's the very first thing the Mask says. The second time is during his dance with Tina at the Coco Bongo Club. The third time, it's Stanley's exultant response to Tina's kiss, reflecting how far he's come as a person. It's also the film's last line.

Not only do they not hit him, but the only thing they manage to hit is one of her taillights, despite her proximity and the fact that her window is open. Averted in the third Mask scene, the bullets DO hit, but the Mask is invulnerable, so he just shrugs it off.

Hero Insurance: Stanley breaks out of a jail cell, assaults an officer, steals his gun, kidnaps another officer at gunpoint and steals his car, yet receives no punishment. Even worse, he committed the crime he was held for and there was evidence of him doing so. The trope is justified because the mayor thinks Stanley is a hero who was framed by Dorian. Plus, many of those things Stanley committed weren't entirely his fault, and he had to escape from the cell to save Tina and stop Dorian.

The Mask can be seen as this at first due to the fact that he's wacky and over the top but he's a very powerful Reality Warper so, therefore, he can do whatever he wants with anyone if he wishes to. Thankfully, he's a good-hearted person and is essentially harmless, so therefore people are very lucky when they decided to be idiots or jerks towards him or both.

Never Give the Captain a Straight Answer: Dorian Tyrell sends his minions to rob a bank. Later on, one of them shows up unexpectedly and is somewhat unresponsive to Tyrell's questions. It turns out that another minion is upstairs dying from gunshot wounds. Somewhat justified in that Dorian is in public at the time, and you don't want to openly discuss a dying bank robber in your place where it's even remotely possible that someone might overhear — mobsters quickly learn to never discuss crimes if they're not 100% certain there are no listeners or bugs.

Oh, Crap!: Tyrell's henchmen after The Mask pulls out his multiguns. Every single one of them is a "Bang!" Flag Gun. Also the street gang when The Mask finishes making his last balloon sculpture — a Tommy Gun. When The Mask barricades the Landfill Park gate to escape from Kellaway and Doyle he turns around to find SWAT, a helicopter, and dozens of cops right behind him, and is so terrified that his eyes, skull, and tongue leap out of his face as he screams. The Mask says it when a police officer pulls out a picture of Kellaway's wife. Tina, when she sees that Dorian is bringing dynamite into the club.

Opposing Combat Philosophies: Stanley's and Dorian's use of the Mask are significantly different. Stanley takes full advantage of the Mask's reality-warping magic for creative Toon Physics and assumes a number of colorful and energetic personas. By contrast, Dorian relies entirely on brute force with his most innovative use of the mask being when he absorbs the bullets from Niko's gun and shoots them back at him.

Anti-Hero: Stanley fits the classical Greek definition of the term. The Mask himself is probably an Unscrupulous Hero. Even though he isn't as violent as most anti-heroes, he's still willing to do many unheroic things with little regard for those around him. Both Stanley and his Mask persona graduate to full (and in the Mask's case, very weird) hero status by the end of the film.

The Ass Shove applied to the mechanics. Though given that their Establishing Character Moment implies they scam all their customers like they do Stanley they don't draw much sympathy. And it's still kinder than what happens to them in the comic.

In Love with the Gangster's Girl: Stanley Ipkiss falls in love with Tina, the girlfriend of Dorian the gangster. It results in a big showdown between the two of them, once Ipkiss gets the mask back. And it's Tina who decides she likes Stanley enough to leave Dorian, rather than Stanley trying to take Tina away.

Shout-Out
 The Mask / int_c75df49a
comment
One notable Shout-Out to a live-action movie is to The Untouchables. When the hero is frisked, his Bag of Holding turns up a whole lot of junk, including a BAZOOKA, to which he calmly says, "I have a permit for that," precisely the same words used in similar circumstances by Frank "the Enforcer" Nitti. The last item pulled out is a photograph which is a nod to actor Peter Riegert's previous work on Animal House.

Cow Tools: Parodied when Doyle and another cop are frisking an under-arrest Stanley Ipkiss (in his Mask persona) while an increasingly exasperated Lieutenant Kellaway looks on. The cops name each item they pull from Ipkiss's (surprisingly deep) pockets — and then Doyle pulls from the left pocket the commonly seen squeeze toy for stressed people of a clown whose eyes, nose and ears bug out when it's squeezed. Doyle — who isn't the brightest bulb in the Edge City police department — looks at it blankly for two seconds and then says "I don't know."

Lighter and Softer: In the original comic, Stanley starts out as a half-decent guy, but quickly degenerates into a Jerkass Psycho Killer under the Mask's influence. The Mask in the comic has an actual personality, and talks to (and through, when it's being worn) its "owner", and no one appears to be able to wear the Mask without being corrupted. The film also allows victims of the Mask's shenanigans to get off with Amusing Injuries for the most part, whereas in the comics, the actions might be amusing but the injuries most certainly are not.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Aside from Dorian, people seem more interested in Stanley's crimes as The Mask than his blatant Reality Warper powers. For instance the cops are seemingly unfazed when they frisk him and pull dozens of items from his pockets larger than the pockets, and a group of muggers are happy to receive balloon animals from the man they were just mugging who has just changed clothes and produced a cane and podium from nowhere.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Discussed trope. Stanley connects with Peggy when he reveals he sent a letter to her advice column bemoaning his lack of a dating life. It seems at first that Peggy is going to exhibit this trope when she wants to meet the Mask, but it turns out she betrays Stanley in order to keep her apartment. Although Tina was seduced by the Mask, she winds up falling in love with Ipkiss (albeit his experience with the Mask having made him more confident).

The Vamp: Played with. On the surface, it seems Tina's this trope as she was only using Stanley's friendliness to infiltrate the bank Dorian and the gang were planning to rob. At the same time, Peggy Brandt seemed to honestly like Stanley. It later turns out to be the opposite as Tina is a nice girl really and is only around Dorian out of fear while Peggy is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who wanted the $50,000 bounty on The Mask so she wouldn't lose her condo. She even mentions this trope by name when Dorian arrives.

Relocating the Explosion: At the climax, in order to take care of a bomb that has only a few seconds left on the timer before it explodes inside a nightclub with the Love Interest Tina Carlyle tied up next to it, the titular character rushes over and eats it, using the Mask's powers to swallow it comically and have it explode inside his belly with no ill effects other than having a brief gastrointestinal episode.

Distracted by the Sexy: This is why Tina is sent to open an account at the Edge City Bank — Stanley and Charlie are so startled by her they don't notice her purse has a camera in it, as her boyfriend Dorian is checking the path to the bank vault.

The Alleged Car: "The Loaner" Stanley receives from the mechanics, a 1951 Studebaker Champion that is rusting, and as demonstrated when Stanley kicks it in anger, falling to pieces. It is pretty much the reason why Stanley ends up finding the Mask in the river, by stalling right in the middle of the bridge.

Evil Mask
 The Mask / int_f2d75f85
comment
The Mask itself. In the comic books, it is deliberately malevolent and corrupting and compels its wearers to commit atrocity after atrocity with the immense power it gives them, before they die and it goes to its next "master". In the film it simply removes all inhibitions, letting the wearer do whatever they want to. This is why Stanley Ipkiss becomes a wisecracking mischief-maker, but the villain lets loose with all of his evil.
