I was thinking that too, Why does no one seem to talk about The Mask anymore. I can see them trying the R Rated Mask movie after DeadPool became a hit.
RebelTaxi i doubt that's gonna happen as the comics have been more and more aimed for kids rather then adults. In short, making an R-rated The Mask movie would range from difficult as hell to impossible!
To be fair, the people who watched this movie as kids back in the 90's are adults now. Why not follow that same audience with nostalgia and a new twisted twist instead of trying to appeal to children who wouldn't have any attachments? I know I'd go see an R Rated dark comedy of the Mask in a heart beat.
I watched the hell out of the scene where Díaz Is in the red dress. I think my DVD player even burned a groove in the disk from me replaying that part so many times.
One of my all time favorites! I melted the second Cameron Diaz first appeared, and STILL do! She hasn't looked as good as she did here in any movie afterwards!
I'm sure if anyone had told the director that it was going to be such a success you can DAMN SURE BET THEY'D BE "HELL YEAH WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS MOVIE 😂..!!"
Great example of a studio taking big risks that would end up as a beloved cult classic. Today's Hollywood seriously needs to learn from this. Stop renovating, start innovating again. Dazzle the audience, don't drain them.
@@Dead_Hitori Or if you do like something you get hate from "anti-sjws" who campaign against things as hard or harder than sjws they claim to hate for doing the same thing. The irony, right?
With the success of Deadpool, I could totally see another adaption of the Mask that takes after the original comic series. R-rated comic book adaptions are starting to get less risky in the eyes of studios.
This film was one of my favorite growing up, and the care and passion put into it was evident. The casting was perfect, the production design was great, it's just an all around enjoyable film. Also, Milo the dog is the hero we all deserve.
Honestly I think this was the perfect project for Jim Carrey at that time, because it let people see that he was capable of more than raunchy and exaggerated comedy. I haven't seen the movie since it was in the theater, but i remember being impressed at how likable he'd portrayed Stanley Ipkiss.
I CAN'T BELIEVE they wanted to get rid of Cuban Pete. It was so out of left field it was probably singly-handedly responsible for the film's unique tone. And it was hilarious.
God damn, 1994 was a star making year for Jim Carrey, from the critically panned Ace Ventura Pet Detective, to The Mask, to Dumb and Dumber. Ace Ventura I thought was okay but The Mask and Dumb and Dumber I prefer.
This is right in the era when I was working at my local theater and saw films on the big screen all year. The Crow was particularly impressive with its cinematography and its darkness. People seem in a hurry to give modern comic book film credit to Blade or X-Men, but forget The Mask and The Crow. Hey, noob question. How is it that you find my posts? I don't know how to track anything on RUclips, and would be interested to know how.
I just look on your "Liked videos" post and try to find you. If I do, I just write stuff you might find interesting. Also, my RUclips notifications is broken yet my Google+ notifications is fine somehow.. Also, RUclips somehow "censored stuff like Channels, Discussions and all that stuff. But I know how to fix them.
You go to your channel and in the white box where your username is, there should be a pencil icon in the top right corner. Click on that and it should drop down a menu and one of the first things on the menu is a command called Edit Channel Navigation. Once you click on that, a large thing that has Channel Navigation written on it will appear. There will be a thing that says "Customize the layout of your channel" click enable and it will make your channel look like mine again. Then once you've done that, go to the pencil again and click on the command that says "Edit channel navigation" and now it will give you the option to add your discussion back. Hope this helps!
Yep! Most of the characters he played have stood as some of the most iconic from the series. Vera the Bodybuilder... Fire Marshall Bill... he was great on there
Chuck Russell is an underrated BOSS and YES if they remake this, adapting the original source material faithfully would be the best way to go. Any thoughts on who would be the best horror director to helm? Also this proves Dark Horse Comics can play the game of movies just like Marvel or DC. They just have ones people tend to neglect.
Gareth Graham Vaughn would definitely have no problem with bloodbath gore and comedy seeing that he directed Kingsman and Kick-Ass. I feel like the new film would need a horror angle to it though and im not sure Vaughn could provide that edge. Im not sure
Nitpick Critic I think tonally he could make it work, hell bring Chuck back - we'd effectively be seeing Nightmare from the wisecracking Freddy Krueger's eyes haha
I recall the first time I, then 19, saw Cameron Diaz. She was promoting the film on a late night talk show...the opening voice over was listing that night's guests said something like "From the Mask, Cameron Diaz", and I distinctly remember thinking "who's this guy," then of course she came out to do the interview and, just like Stanley, my jaw hit the floor.
Goddamn, I used to watch this film all the time when I was a hideous little child! I remember when I got it as a Christmas present in 1995 when I was six years old but I had no idea who Jim Carrey was and I hadn't read the comic so I was kind of disappointed. The effects were amazing for the time and I felt like a total bad ass watching such an "adult" movie even though I couldn't understand English properly at the time. Good times... Thanks for the memories! Need to give this another watch. Oh and the cartoon was on Cartoon Network for a while as well. It was surprisingly good too!
I went to Mexico in 2018, and went to a baseball game in Cancun. During the 7th inning stretch, they had a guy dressed in the Cuban Pete outfit dancing through the isles with a bunch of very attractive cheerleaders while they played the song over the loudspeakers. It was a real party. Goes to show you how iconic that scene became.
@@65coupestang Nowadays, liberal critics would be too busy labelling that scene "racist" and "insensitive" to truly appreciate it. The Mask, in today's watered-down, "sensitivity era," would bomb badly. No one would ever claim to like it, because god-forbid you like something cheesy anymore...
I can still recall the teaser trailer in the theater one time, to the point when I'd forgotten the actual movie that came after! At first, here was this weird hyped sense seeing the Mask of Loki back and floating around, until the CGI baby popped out. And started to dance. That was when I knew it was a movie to avoid.
Cameron Dias looked absolutely *goregous* in that movie. Before "fashion" made her turn into a skinny, boney faced girl with the body of a 9 year old boy.
If anyone has the VHS copy, there is a bonus extra at the end of it. Where the mask appears on "Space ghost coast to coast", if you like that show. I didn't know about it until years later of being an adult swim fan. I happen to notice on the box it has a small bit explaining it was there.
This is the movie that birthed my love for Jim Carrey. He's so full of character and expressive, it was hard as a kid to not want to imitate that. I loved all the insight and behind the scenes about this movie!
God bless you Cecil!!! Bringing back all the nostalgia classics from the 90s. Right now, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for either Last Action Hero or Last Boy Scout, or The Rocketeer or Dick Tracy for the Exploring series. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!
The comic was so dark...i think a remake could be done now more faithful to the comic Amen; I remember seeing the movie as a child and even then thinking it was sophomoric, braindead, and less funny than a re-run of Tom and Jerry. Though I don't follow the Razzies, their nomination of Jim Carey was prescient, given that he himself became an annoying self-parody barely a decade later. Remake the movie, with James DeBello as Stanley and Anthony Jeselnik as Dorian
I didn't know that there was a comic and how dark and violent it was. I'm actually hoping to see that in a future movie, I think that would be interesting. And not just violent, I mean violent AND bloody! Díaz at the time (in the movie) was monkey spankingly hot! I remember seeing the movie for the first time on DVD and I replayed the part where the camera pans over her body in the red dress over and over a few times.
13:05 the poster for that movie still amaze me to this day... so clean and yet creative, well placed and shows everything you need to know about the movie.
I wouldn't say underrated since it was one of the biggest hit 1994 in the top 10 highest earning box office and one of three of Jim Carrey's hit movies of that year that cemented him to A list stardom of that time.
this was the first movie I watched on a 60 inch projection screen home theatre with full 5.1 dolby surround sound. it absolutely blew me away back then and still does today.
LOOK MOM, I'M ROADKILL! HA HA HA! One of my many favorite comic book movies, and probably my favorite comedy movie of all time. It's weird that you mentioned a possible remake, and I 100% agree that should go back to its comic book horror theme as a readaption. Thanks for this exploring video Cecil... KEEP IT UP!!! 👍
I have loved The Mask since theaters and I never even think of the sequel except when it is brought up in something like this. I watched the second one once, many years after the fact. The Mask is so much fun and always worth a revisit.
In 1986 and 1987 I worked withJohn Arcudi at Forbidden Planet in New York City when he got the job of reworking The Mask. One thing very few people realize is how much the style and language of The Mask came straight from Arcudi's personality. He would regularly say things like "Smokin'!" around the store. He doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Old school here read lots of black n white daek horse read the mask comic! Ur research and reviews are AWESOME! Quick to the point with interesting fascets...even a "so-so"movie is a new experience through your reviews. I LOVE ur obscure low budget underground reviews too! Keep up the great work!!!
Good video! I re-watched this about 2 months ago and it still holds up. Cameron Diaz is just fantastic in this movie. I didn't realise until checking Wikipedia whilst re-watching it that Jim Carrey made Ace Ventura, The Mask AND Dumb & Dumber all in 1994. What an incredible year for comedy movies!!
I used to babysit for this little kid who LOVED this movie. I had to watch it all day, every day for a whole summer. It's been a long time since then and I don't hate the movie anymore lol.
You could never remake The Mask, at least not while the memory of this version is fresh at all ... everyone would just say it's not the same without Jim Carrey. I fear he's an unavoidable part of that IP now.
One of my favorite movies growing up, and I still love it to this day! Was my first PG-13 rated movie, and I saw it when I was 4, because a relative of mine bought me the movie when I asked for "The Mask on video". I was talking about the TV series at the time, but I didn't know any better! Good thing it introduced me to Jim Carrey, who's become one of my family's favorites!
Great research for this video homie. Keep up the good work and totally agree that if they chose to remake it, they would stick to the source material to get a different iteration of the Mask on screen
The Mask was one of my absolute favourite movies as a kid. It's been a looong time since I last saw it - this vid, and seeing Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond a couple days ago have made me seriously want to refresh my Carrey-experience.
fun fact; The computers in the garage during the revenge scene? Allen Test-products. Emission control for cars. My dad was the lead sales rep for them. We spend 2 years in Australia on a sales tour for their company.
I'm trying to think of someone good enough to make it's own mask performance, the obvious choice is Steve Carrel but I do believe Eric Andre is the only choice that could do something different and creative enough in order to separate itself from the 90s one.
Man, Son of the Mask was painful. The fact that it didn't star Jim Carey is one of the lesser problems of the film. I think the biggest one is the scene with the talking sperm. Yes, that was actually in the movie. A movie meant for children.
+Coach Renaldo All under the guise of 'progressiveness' and teaching children about sex. Heck when I was a kid, all sex jokes were subtle. It was meant to go over kid's heads.
I remember watching the mask and the son of the mask as a little kid and absolutely loving them.So I was so happy to see u made a video about it. Great job!
I swear to god I saw the scene where they threw the reporter into the printing press in the theaters when I was kid. But my friends didn't believe me. So I waited for it to come out on vhs and they cut the scene out on home video! I never saw that scene again for decades and thought that, after a while, I made it up. A child's wild imagination. Turns out the scene existed all along! But it makes me wonder.... how many other theatres showed the cut of the film with the journalist's death scene in it? I *couldn't* have been the only one who saw it.
There was never such a scene shown in any theater ever... you are just imagining things, and vaguely associated it to the brief cut scene shown in here.
no, it was definitely shown in theatres. At a time before social media, any real internet to speak of, not to mention dvds with special features, I could describe the scene to anyone.
No you are not making that up. That was in the theatrical cut. I too saw it the theaters as well and do remember that scene. However when the film came to home video they cut it further to give it a PG rating. That is probably what you saw.
I can not believe new line wanted to cut the Cuban Pete scene. That's one of my favorite scenes from the movie. It is not just incredibly funny but it adds much needed levity to what would normally be a very tense scene
I watched this film as a kid, it made me scared but laugh so hard at the same time. I can't believe this is the first movie for Cameron Diaz! And it's true it can't be so good without Jim Carrey. Thank you for this lovely episode, brings such good memory for me.
One of my favourite childhood movies. Still have the DVD copy that the family got from a Kellogg's cereal box. Unfortunately, they cut out the scene where Stanley is at Neuman's office and, my favourite part of the movie, the tommy gun balloon animal. Which was also taken directly from the comics. One hilarious thing to come out of this cut is the park scene, where they obviously dubbed 'witch' for 'bitch', but didn't shoot an alternate close-up.
Fun fact with me and The mask: I watched this film a lot when I was kid. During the time Son of the mask came out, I was afraid of going to the cinemas, but when the film came out, I saw it and it got me back into watching films the theaters. Now as a young adult, I could care less about son of the mask. But I am planing on writing my own screenplay of The mask reboot that's more loyal to the comics. All I need is to read the comics and I'll be set.
I never saw the Mask till early 2017 I saw the sequel as a kid and thought that’s how the original movie was so I thought it was gonna be a dumb waste of time and I was so wrong.
Luvie1980 actually, yes. A remake of this movie is out of the question. But a new movie, one that is a faithful adaptation to the original violent comic book, is totally in the question!
excellent excellent excellent video!i didn't even remember the movie until i saw this, then it all came rushing back. i loved the Mask and Ace Ventura SO MUCH when they were released, i'm pretty sure i saw both of them twice! thank you for the bringing back the great memories- they're deeply appreciated!

God Damn Cameron Diaz Looked So Bomb.
For real. Besides Jessica Alba in Sin City, this is the only time a woman on screen left me breathless.
The scene at the nightclub where the lights hit her, the lass looks naked.
She did porn before this, you can find it still but it's pretty tame.

One thing I love about this youtube channel. Shows just how many humble beginnings a lot of these movies come from.

In 1986 and 1987 I worked withJohn Arcudi at Forbidden Planet in New York City when he got the job of reworking The Mask. One thing very few people realize is how much the style and language of The Mask came straight from Arcudi's personality. He would regularly say things like "Smokin'!" around the store. He doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Cameron Diaz was SO fine in this movie. And then looked different since
Old school here read lots of black n white daek horse read the mask comic! Ur research and reviews are AWESOME! Quick to the point with interesting fascets...even a "so-so"movie is a new experience through your reviews. I LOVE ur obscure low budget underground reviews too! Keep up the great work!!!
This was actually a good movie and I really like to start of Jim Carrey's career as a great actor
Good video! I re-watched this about 2 months ago and it still holds up. Cameron Diaz is just fantastic in this movie. I didn't realise until checking Wikipedia whilst re-watching it that Jim Carrey made Ace Ventura, The Mask AND Dumb & Dumber all in 1994. What an incredible year for comedy movies!!
WAIT jim carrey did this BEFORE ace ventura ?! My childhood memory is backwards...THERAPY needed immediately
I used to babysit for this little kid who LOVED this movie. I had to watch it all day, every day for a whole summer. It's been a long time since then and I don't hate the movie anymore lol.
Is funny to think that someone told Jim Carrey to be over-expressive.
OMG I love The Mask growing up, it was one of the childhood movies I’d watch constantly on VHS.
You could never remake The Mask, at least not while the memory of this version is fresh at all ... everyone would just say it's not the same without Jim Carrey. I fear he's an unavoidable part of that IP now.
One of my favorite movies growing up, and I still love it to this day! Was my first PG-13 rated movie, and I saw it when I was 4, because a relative of mine bought me the movie when I asked for "The Mask on video". I was talking about the TV series at the time, but I didn't know any better! Good thing it introduced me to Jim Carrey, who's become one of my family's favorites!
Great research for this video homie. Keep up the good work and totally agree that if they chose to remake it, they would stick to the source material to get a different iteration of the Mask on screen
The Mask was one of my absolute favourite movies as a kid. It's been a looong time since I last saw it - this vid, and seeing Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond a couple days ago have made me seriously want to refresh my Carrey-experience.
Your videos are fucking awesome dude, this series is legit the most underrated thing on youtube, keep it up
fun fact; The computers in the garage during the revenge scene? Allen Test-products. Emission control for cars. My dad was the lead sales rep for them. We spend 2 years in Australia on a sales tour for their company.
I'm trying to think of someone good enough to make it's own mask performance, the obvious choice is Steve Carrel but I do believe Eric Andre is the only choice that could do something different and creative enough in order to separate itself from the 90s one.
The flow of this video is like someone just reading up the imdb trivia front to back.
Man, Son of the Mask was painful. The fact that it didn't star Jim Carey is one of the lesser problems of the film. I think the biggest one is the scene with the talking sperm.
Yes, that was actually in the movie. A movie meant for children.
Coach Renaldo That's tame compared to the Netflix show about puberty with talking vaginas and wet dream monsters.
blacktigerpaw1 ugh. That show. It still puzzles me how something that is almost child pornography made it onto Netflix.
+Coach Renaldo
All under the guise of 'progressiveness' and teaching children about sex. Heck when I was a kid, all sex jokes were subtle. It was meant to go over kid's heads.
I remember watching the mask and the son of the mask as a little kid and absolutely loving them.So I was so happy to see u made a video about it. Great job!
I swear to god I saw the scene where they threw the reporter into the printing press in the theaters when I was kid. But my friends didn't believe me. So I waited for it to come out on vhs and they cut the scene out on home video! I never saw that scene again for decades and thought that, after a while, I made it up. A child's wild imagination. Turns out the scene existed all along! But it makes me wonder.... how many other theatres showed the cut of the film with the journalist's death scene in it? I *couldn't* have been the only one who saw it.
There was never such a scene shown in any theater ever... you are just imagining things, and vaguely associated it to the brief cut scene shown in here.
no, it was definitely shown in theatres. At a time before social media, any real internet to speak of, not to mention dvds with special features, I could describe the scene to anyone.
you might be confused of the part where they hold jim carey over printing press, threatening to throw him in
Perhaps. However, I doubt I imagined the bloody aftermath of headlines printed in red all the way back in 96'.
No you are not making that up. That was in the theatrical cut. I too saw it the theaters as well and do remember that scene. However when the film came to home video they cut it further to give it a PG rating. That is probably what you saw.
The soundtrack was really great as well. Got a lot of play on that family vacation in 95.
Screw a new Mask film, we need a new Spawn reboot.
Easily one my most watched movies on VHS. Great underrated classic
Holy shit, I was not prepared for 19 year old Cameron Diaz ...
I can not believe new line wanted to cut the Cuban Pete scene. That's one of my favorite scenes from the movie. It is not just incredibly funny but it adds much needed levity to what would normally be a very tense scene
NO-ONE actors would ever do it like Jim Carrey ;-)
Dude your videos are really great but your exploring series are my favorite.
Diaz has never looked as good since the mask. She looked so unbelievably sexy in that movie. Phew.
I watched this film as a kid, it made me scared but laugh so hard at the same time.
I can't believe this is the first movie for Cameron Diaz! And it's true it can't be so good without Jim Carrey.
Thank you for this lovely episode, brings such good memory for me.
“Carey improved pulling a condom out”
Who else thought the condom was actually a broken balloon?
One of my favourite childhood movies. Still have the DVD copy that the family got from a Kellogg's cereal box. Unfortunately, they cut out the scene where Stanley is at Neuman's office and, my favourite part of the movie, the tommy gun balloon animal. Which was also taken directly from the comics. One hilarious thing to come out of this cut is the park scene, where they obviously dubbed 'witch' for 'bitch', but didn't shoot an alternate close-up.
Fun fact with me and The mask: I watched this film a lot when I was kid. During the time Son of the mask came out, I was afraid of going to the cinemas, but when the film came out, I saw it and it got me back into watching films the theaters. Now as a young adult, I could care less about son of the mask. But I am planing on writing my own screenplay of The mask reboot that's more loyal to the comics. All I need is to read the comics and I'll be set.
My first movie in cinema when i was 5 years..Loved every second of it.. please no remakes.. reboot it with dark tone
I never saw the Mask till early 2017 I saw the sequel as a kid and thought that’s how the original movie was so I thought it was gonna be a dumb waste of time and I was so wrong.
and THATS how you do a behind the scenes doc. *applause*. Love the mask. A forgotten hit.
I love the mask, I HOPE they make a remake of The Mask.
descendant of seth NO. ARE YOU CRAZY. just make another mask movie not a bloody remake!
Be careful what you wish for...
Luvie1980 actually, yes. A remake of this movie is out of the question. But a new movie, one that is a faithful adaptation to the original violent comic book, is totally in the question!
I would love to see a violent Mask remake
Fuck no! Let it be a classic like The Godfather.
You don't "remake" the Godfather of 90s comedies! NEVER!
You were right. I forgot all about this gem until you reminded me of it. Diaz was gorgeous in it. I had no idea she was so young in this movie.
excellent excellent excellent video!i didn't even remember the movie until i saw this, then it all came rushing back. i loved the Mask and Ace Ventura SO MUCH when they were released, i'm pretty sure i saw both of them twice! thank you for the bringing back the great memories- they're deeply appreciated!
Thanks for watching!
This was the first film I ever saw, on the flight to America. I was 3. I'll never forget how my mind went nuts over the visuals.
I saw this in theaters when it came out, and I remember not being able to breathe I was laughing to tears throughout the movie.
This has to be one of my favorite episodes
Really enjoy your videos GBF. Very interesting series. Would love to see your look at Chopping Mall....
My dad made me sit and watch this when I was little, I'm thankful for it, I still have the VHS in my collection
