"I think Cameron Diaz is in it" > 10 years old me, falling in love : "Yes... she is"

Jim Carrey was so good at contorting his face, he saved the production a bunch of money on CGI, because they didn't need to use it for lots of scenes!

"Jim Carrey in his final form" lmao

I feel that 90s Jim Carrey film's wouldn't of got made if they didn't get Jim Carrey. Its so hard to imagine The Mask, Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber and Lair Liar without Jim Carrey.

The Mask was meant to be an anti-hero, just as he is in the comics. I think they did a good job of making it lighter than the comics, which were much darker. This version makes The Mask more of a vigilante than an anti-hero

Cameron Diaz entering the bank is forever seared into my brain 🧠

Every time Brandon says Stanley the face of Stan lee subliminally appears.

"Did you miss me? I guess not!" I love that double entendre!

"Jim Carrey in his final form" - best description I've heard all day.

"Jim Carrey in his final form" 😂😂😂😂

So it's confirmed, The Mask is also one of the Loki variants.

This is one of those films where EVERYTHING gives me nostalgia, even down to the patterns on clothing lol. Saw this way too many times as a child

I think like how Goonies was something you had to experience as a kid, this is one of those films you had to have experienced when you were young to really feel the impact.

Fun fact. The Mask is one of DC's most powerful comic book characters.

"Tell Auntie Em to let old Yeller out". That quote is referencing 2 movies, Old Yeller and Auntie Em is a character from The Wizard of Oz

In the 90s we didn't have convincing CGI we just had Jim Carrey's face

YOO LMAO. Those Stan Lee faces cracked me up 😂 nice touch on the editing Brandon!

"I'm surprised everybody's rolling with this right now" Oh boy, I can't wait for conga scene :>

Honestly great acting on the dogs part. Especially taking the keys from someone sleeping

Jim Carey's Stanley Ipkis was fantastic! He dedicated himself to be able to speak with those teeth. This was Cameron Diaz's first movie

You need to see "The Truman Show" especially in the days of today when everybody is putting their life on different platforms for everybody to enjoy.

You: "I think there were more Mask movies." Everyone else: "NOOOOOOO!!! NO, GOD, PLEASE, NO!!"

Jim Carey was The Guy for this role lmao love his comedy

"That's a spicy meatball" came from a very famous spaghetti sauce commercial. My favorite Jim Carrey movie is " The Truman Show," even though it is one of his dramatic roles.

As a fan of Looney Tunes and Jim Carrey movies, this is an amazing movie.

"was this before the Grinch?" Yes, it was six years before the Grinch. LOL

Cameron Diaz was every guy's biggest crush from the moment she appeared in this movie

It was bothering me too, the villain actor, so I had to look it up. He played "Zed" in the basement scene of Pulp Fiction.

“It wasn’t me it was the one armed man” the mask as a character is hilarious but I love that reference to the fugitive. I’d recommend reading the comics to see how dark the original story was compared to the movie, it’s a great read!

"Those pajamas are impossible..." 🤣🤣🤣

The movie: "Golly, I'm so charming and wacky!" The comic: "I'm going to murder every single person I see because I'm basically a god now."

Jim Carrey's performance in The Mask is so good.

Ooh, a 90's gem.

He’s referencing a collection of movies in that one scene, and people. Starts with Pat Buttram known for many western films, the wizard of oz and old yeller, a christmas Carol, gone with the wind, and finally, Sally fields as she won for best actress

The villain Dorian is Peter Greene. He played Zed in Pulp Fiction and was also in Blue Streak with Martin Lawrence. The Mask I think is Carrey's best performance as he is literally a cartoon to life as the Mask, but can play it straight as Stanley Ipkiss showcasing his some of his dramatic chops before his Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine days.

The Mask's power is basically humor logic, where he can do anything as long as it's for a laugh.

Taz the Tasmanian devil making a cameo appearance and a call back. 1) being on a pillow and 2) being the mask transformation using his iconic tornado.

watch "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" for some next-level Jim Carrey

Dorian, the villain of the movie, is the same actor as Zed in Pulp Fiction. That might be where you recognize him from.

The editor paying respects to Stan-ley was epic. Nice one.

Whatever you do, Brandon. Don't...watch...The Mask 2!!! 😭

1994 was the year of Jim Carrey: The Mask, Dumb & Dumber, Ace Ventura. 18:34 Oops! No Stan Lee face there. lol

If I were to watch it for the first time, now as a 34-year-old, I would have thought it was stupid. However, as an 8 year old kid watching it for the first time, I used to LOVE The Mask.

The actor of the bad guys name is Peter Greene. He’s been in many movies

Amy Yasbeck who played Peggy the reporter was married to John Ritter

When the mask gets shot in the club, & wins the Oscar is a reference to Sally fields Oscar speech. "You like me you really like me"

That Cillian Murphy/Peter Weller comparison is spot-on! I never thought of that, and now I'll always see it.

God I adored this film! Beautifully made and animated and If Carey wasn't cartoon like enough this really pushes him over the line. I've rewatched this many, many times since and I even went as far as splashing out on 1.6th scale figure of him. LOL

this was my intro to Jim Carrey when i was a kid, so good

his friend in the movie is played by Richard Jeni. An insanely talented comedian who committed suicide in 2007 after struggling for years with depression.

The Mask has a kind of toon aura making people not notice how weird things around him are. Like at the club everyone thought the dance was a completely normal, if impressive, dance number.

The Mask in the original comics is even crazier and even scary at times. It's a mix of a super hero horror comic book.

The bad guy is from pulp fiction….”bring out the gimp”….also from Usual suspects, he was red foot.

The actor playing Dorian's right hand man "Sweet Eddy" is Denis Forest. He had a bunch of mostly small film & TV roles through the '90s, including in Cliffhanger, Eraser and The X-Files. He passed away in 2002, just 41 years old. His face and hair gave him a pretty strong resemblance to Irish comedian Ed Byrne.

I laugh every time Milo is jumping and he keeps coming up short and then Jim Carrey yells "PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT!"

The “second in command” that you couldn’t place was Zed in Pulp Fiction (Zed’s dead, a baby, Zed’s dead), and also hired the team in The Usual Suspects (he flicked a cigarette in Baldwin’s face)

I caught the random Stan Lee popups throughout the video 🤣

"This is just Jim Carrey in his final form." You nailed it, Brandon. I'm extra happy seeing you react to this for a couple reasons. The Mask is one of my favorite movies of all time, so that's self-evident. But I also got into react channels like yours because I watched one Mask reaction ages ago, and then the KZfaq algorithm recommended me a bunch, all of which seemed to be coming out in the same 3 month span. And because of that I think I assumed you checked out The Mask back then and I just missed it or forgot about it. Seeing the faces you made at the Mask's antics made them new again for me. Loved it! Keep doing what you're doing.

Your face when Stanley opens his closet door was

The only “The Mask” movie ever made. :)

I just realised in the scene when the policeman comes a 2nd time, when Stanley has all the money in the closet, his face is framed against the kitchen wall which is almost the same colour as he is as the Mask

"Milo was already super powerful without the mask" you're damn right 💀💀😭😭😭

The Mask is from that era where comic book movies weren't really figured out, but it's still a classic

It took me a while, but I finally caught the tiny popup pics of Stan Lee every time you said the name Stanley!!

Hey, we made it to KZfaq! Wow I haven't seen this movie in like 20 years. It is so wacky haha (I was maybe 10 last time I saw it)

The original mask dark horse comic is full of brutal violence. Jim Carey did all his own dancing in this. He's a heck of a dancer.

16:12 i like that you can see Dorian fixing his appearance when he realizes he's being watched

Classic early Carrey. But Dumb and Dumber is my favorite of those, easily.

Loved this film as a kid. Such a fun film for Cameron Diez's first film. Love the pop ups

The qoute: "You were good kid, real good, but as long as I'm around, you'll always be second best, see?" It comes from 1965's The Cincinnati Kid, starring Steve McQueen, Edward G. Robinson and Ann-Margret. :)

Jim was already pretty famous from "in living color" era, but 1994 was the year that made him international superstar

I highly recommend ACE VENTURA 1 + 2!

If you've seen Blue streak with Martin Lawrence, Doreen was the bad guy in that one too.

"Jim Carey in his final form" ... Perfect description.

Dude. The tiny pop-up Stan Lee's are gold🤣

The mechanics garage is the firehouse from Ghostbusters

Hold on to your lug nuts, its time for an overhaul : P

the mask comics are soooo dark, cartoon violence, but realistic effects...

the quotes said are from not just movies, but the "spicy meatball" quote was from an Alka selzer comercial, and the "They love me, they really love me" was when Sally Field got an oscar for movie she did, and Do you feel luck was from the first Dirty Harry movie.

I always wanted to be Cameron Dias as a 13 year old. Specifically in this movie.

The part where he smashes the clock always makes me really sad. It’s so scared :(

This is actually based on a comic book series. The mask itself is used by different people by story arc, Stanley only being the first person we see use it for an extensive period of time. The people who use it are collectively reffered to as "Big Head" and are actually the _villains_ of the series, as the mask makes people act out their darkest desires and thoughts. Most Big Heads are essentially serial killer and mass murderers, with many of their madcap antics very much being as lethal as one would expect for anyone not able to use toon physics (aka, anyone not wearing the mask at the moment).

The flashes of Stan Lee every time you hear someone say Stanley must've took a while to edit - respect! It was a nice touch

Jim Carrey's friend in this movie is played by Richard Jeni....RIP....was a fantastic comedian before taking his own life.

I discovered your channel recently and I am addicted, I would like to recommend you three incredibly good films. 1) The Danish girl, 2) The best offer and 3) The imitation game. I assure you that all three are very good. Greetings from Argentina.

AHHHHHHHH YAAAAAAAAS in the comics the mask goes from person to person. After Stanley kelloway gets it. In the animation, peggie is Stanley’s bestie who helps him out a lot and she even apologizes for ratting him out to the mob lol

This whole movie is really a tribute to Tex Avery cartoons, specifically. His style was very surreal and absurdist. The cartoon Stanley is watching at the beginning is one of Tex Avery's most famous shorts: "Red Hot Riding Hood". And, of course, it's actually a wolf in that short, not a dog. That's both because of the Red Riding Hood reference and it's a visual pun on the term "wolf" (in case you don't know, when a man is called a "wolf", it means he's a skirt-chaser). P.S. I, actually, think it was totally in character for Dorian to fall for Tina's ruse. It's very clear that Dorian has always underestimated Tina so, it would never even occur to him that she'd be smart enough to manipulate him.

_"What is happening right now?"_ I feel perfectly sums this whole film up lmao. 😂🤣 Just as whacky now as it was back in the 90s! Dorian's actor Peter Greene has also appeared in _Pulp Fiction_ and _The Usual Suspects_ - maybe you recognise him from either of those?

Have you seen The Truman Show? I'd highly recommend that for a great Jim Carrey movie

Nice inserting of Stan Lee's miniature head everytime Stanley is mentionned 😂😂👌

Legend has it they scripted this to be a lot more understated but Jim Carrey kept pulling out oversized cartoon hammers, shifting his face into Warner Bros cartoon wolves, and spinning into Tasmanian Devil tornadoes to change into new costumes so they just kept the cameras rolling and figured it out in editing.

In the mid 90's hipsters decided to bring "swing" back in style. But everyone else thought that was a good idea too and that made it go out of style fast! The "Thatsa spicy meatball" line was a reference to this popular 60's commercial: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLeYqrGlvpmyYp8.html Best Regards!

The Mask comic book was very much like the movie lol Jim Carrey was perfect for this role. Loved it now and when I was a kid!

The Mask was a favorite as a kid. This movie's target audience was ten year old boys. Which was how old I was when it came out in theaters. I had pretty much become obsessed with Jim Carrey after Ace Ventura. A ton of boys my age did. He was definitively the comedy icon of my generation. If you haven't seen "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", "Dumb and Dumber", or "Me, Myself, and Irene" I'd highly recommend those too. I'd say those are his three best comedies.

This is how The Mask works: It strips away all your fears and inhibitions, and it protects you from consequences for as long as you're wearing it. It grants some reality-bending, too, but it doesn't change who you are. It's always the wearer, it's just who they are underneath, deep inside. Stanley was a shy, timid, kindlyman who was deeply lonely, romantically passionate, very creative, had a good sense of humor, and was fed up with people constantly walking all over him. When he put the mask on, the shyness went away, and he was free to be the him he was inside, to make jokes and do silly creative gags and get petty revenge on people who treated him like crap. Dorian likewise: on the outside, smooth, confident, intelligent, in control and bold, but on the inside he was a violent psychopath who was forever too craven and cowardly to act on his avarice and stand up to Niko or ever show his true colors and far less clever or intelligent than he thought he was. When he put on the Mask he showed his violent psychopathy with glee because the mask was protecting him, but without it he never would have been anybody, and he used it's powers in a completely uncreative and boring way to show he had no intelligence or creativity.

This is just jim carry in his final form lmao that made me laugh way to hard

The best Jim Carrey movie ever. So glad you've reacted to it, my man 😊

This was back when films mixing live action and cartoon events were pretty popular, like Cool World, Roger Rabbit, Monkeybone, etc. The Mask is basically a living cartoon, so he can do all kinds of crazy stuff.

Ace Ventura 1 and 2 Are Absolutely Phenomenal Films!!!

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is a great Jim Carrey movie!
