Fans of the Jim Carrey comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective will likely be interested in knowing where the popular comedy is streaming today. Sometimes only referred to as Ace Ventura, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a classic of 1990s Jim Carrey performances and likely one of the first movies his most ardent fans seeing him in. Ace Ventura stars the titular character, played by Carrey, an eccentric private eye who specializes in animal-related crimes. It's Carrey in all his zany, slapstick, rubber-faced glory, and a true laugh-a-minute romp. 3a2b1i

Ace Venturaquotes prove the hilarious Pet Detective was a character only Jim Carrey could play. Carrey was still transitioning from a stand-up comedian to a movie star when he debuted as Ace Ventura, the role that would define his early success. 1994's Ace Venture: Pet Detective is a wild comedy starring Carrey as an eccentric sleuth who specializes in animal cases. The success of the movie led to Carrey's first-ever sequel, 1995’s Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. The role proved to be the perfect vehicle for Carrey to show off his unique physicality along with endlessly quotable dialogue.

Sylvester Stallone merges with Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura in a bizarre AI trailer for the Cliffhangersequel. Released in 1993, the original Cliffhanger starred Stallone as a mountain climber who, months after failing to recuse his best friend's girlfriend, becomes embroiled in a botched midair heist of a U.S. Treasury plane flying through the Rocky Mountains. It has been announced that a Cliffhanger sequel from Greenland director Ric Roman Waugh was in the works with Stallone returning to reprise his role as Gabe Walker.

In addition to being known for catapulting comedian Jim Carrey to international fame, Ace Venturaalso contains a cameo from a death metal band that is actually a sweet story. The 1990s was a decade well-known for incongruous cameos in comedy movies. However, it’s still jarring to see a band like Cannibal Corpse make a random appearance in a slapstick comedy like Ace Ventura. Ace tries to act casual, but in doing so, he becomes even more conspicuous amidst the raucous sounds of the band and their enraptured fans.

Comedian Jim Carrey plays the villainous Doctor Eggman in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and the film actually contains a secret callback to one of the actor's earliest films, Ace Venutra: Pet Detective. While Jim Carrey's most prominent modern roles have featured him fighting the speedy blue hedgehog, he also got his start in a movie that prominently features animals, although Ace Ventura was far less antagonistic towards them. While the two movies are meant for different audiences, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 features a subtle nod to the actor's legacy in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective that many may have missed.

According to The Guardian, Jim Carrey has said that he’s “fairly serious” about retiring from film acting with his most recent movie appearance. The actor reprised his role as Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which could end up being his final performance. It’ll be a shame if Carrey never brings his zany comedic talents to the big screen again, but he’s left behind a legendary body of work.

Most people at some point have likely gone to a movie to see one specific thing. Whether it is Tom Cruise actually flying a jet in Top Gun: Maverick, or a certain cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, one single scene can make an entire movie worth watching.

Much to the disappointment of fans, Jim Carrey has revealed his plans to step away from acting after years in the industry. Looking back, it can't be said that he hasn't contributed enough to his art form, most recently starring in the second installment of Sonic The Hedgehog.

Many franchises have survived a change in lead over the years, but for some reason, sequels to Jim Carrey movies that don't include him always fail. While he doesn't act as much as he used to, Carrey is no doubt a comedy legend, and would retain that status if he decided to retire tomorrow. He certainly has detractors, as most comedians do, but Carrey's list of blockbuster movie hits over the course of multiple decades proves that he has millions of fans.

Ace Ventura 3 is officially in the works, and here's everything we know so far about the sequel to Jim Carrey's classic pet detective comedies. While Carrey is regarded as a comedy legend today, and also renowned for his occasional forays into dramatic acting, his ascent to movie stardom can all be traced back to one character: Ace Ventura. While his years on FOX sketch comedy show In Living Color helped get Carrey noticed by the masses, it was his turn as the unorthodox animal sleuth that vaulted Carrey to the A-list.
