History Trivia / TheMask

* KeepCirculatingtheTapes: There was once a musical adaptation that was performed at Butlins vacation resorts in the UK that's been lost to time outside of some promotional material and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=I_VJiENdK_w soundtrack which has been uploaded to YouTube in its entirety]].

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: There are only three VHS releases (back when [=VCR=]s were prevalent) and the two-part episode "The Mask is Always Greener on the Other Side" was released on DVD along with ''The Mask'' around the time that ''Son of the Mask'' was released in theaters. Besides that, the entire series hasn't been released officially on DVD (it was announced that the show would see a DVD release in 2013 thanks to Creator/ShoutFactory, but as of 2016, the set never materialized with no word on why). All is not lost, though -- most of the episodes are available via torrent downloading and on video websites like Website/YouTube and Dailymotion. The show also reran on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Boomerang channels in the UK and Australia. On April 10, 2018, Warner Archive released the first season on DVD, and the series has since beem available on [=iTunes=] and Amazon Video.

** Somewhat for Creator/JimCarrey as well. ''Film/AceVenturaPetDetective'' put him on the radar after ''Series/InLivingColor'', but just a few months later this established him as a legitimate star. It helps that while Ace Ventura seems to act incredibly cartoonishly for no reason, Ipkiss' equally silly behavior as The Mask is explained by the magical artifact turning him -- a lover of classic cartoons who tends to repress his emotions -- into a mischievous RealityWarper.

*** With that in mind, remember ''this'' exchange?
---->'''Mrs. Peenman:''' Ipkiss! Do you have ''any'' idea what time it is?!\\
'''Ipkiss:''' Actually, no.

* DuelingDubs: In Spain, the film received two dubs: one for theatrical releases with Luis Posada as Jim Carrey's voice and another for airplane screenings (yes, that is a practice, although not very well-known) with Antonio García Moral as Carrey. The thing is that when the film had its first Spanish DVD release, for unknown reasons, they used the airplane screening dub for the Spanish audio track, which was met with negative feedback. By the time the film got a Blu-ray release, and the distributor used the theatrical dub [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes keeping the airplane dub for the DVD release.]] Curiously enough, both dubs feature Dionisio Macías in very different roles: [[InspectorJavert Kellaway]] in the theatrical dub and [[BigBad Dorian]] in the airplane screening dub.
** Brazil also has two dubs: the original from Usefulnotes/SaoPaulo found in most home video releases. The Usefulnotes/RioDeJaneiro dub was first available on the over-the-air broadcast, and one can find it on Netflix. Many fans prefer the latter, mainly because most of its voice actors returned for the cartoon.

* OrphanedReference: An original script idea was for Stanley Ipkiss to meet the street gang that he later encounters as The Mask earlier in the film, getting mugged and having his watch stolen, explaining why when his landlady asks him if he knows what time it is, he says, "Actually, no."

** An early screenplay from 1991 had different characters like Stanley's girlfriend, Kathleen Berman (inspired by his girlfriend Kathy in the comics), Detective Mitchell "Mitch" Gallagher, and Scully and Vito Vitelli, who later became Dorian and Niko, respectively.
*** FamilyUnfriendlyDeath / FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: The 1991 script by Mark Verheiden had these in abundance. Such moments include Scully massacring a wedding reception at Vitelli's estate, emerging drenched in blood, and groping Kathleen while wearing the mask.

* BannedEpisode: "Flight as a Feather" never aired on [[Creator/{{Freeform}} Fox Family]], the American versions of Creator/CartoonNetwork or Boomerang (the overseas versions have aired it), and CBS for its infamous sequence with Cookie [=BaBoom=].
** Speaking of CBS, all of season two's episodes never aired on the channel, though this was due to [[ExecutiveMeddling CBS changing the Saturday morning line-up to make room for new shows]].

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: There are only three VHS releases (back when [=VCR=]s were prevalent) and the two-part episode "The Mask is Always Greener on the Other Side" was released on DVD along with ''The Mask'' around the time that ''Son of the Mask'' was released in theaters.

The show also reran on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Boomerang channels in the UK and Australia.
** On April 10, 2018, Warner Archive released the first season on DVD, though seasons 2 and 3 have not been announced yet.
** The entire series is now available on [=iTunes=] and Amazon Video.
* TheOtherDarrin: Stanley/The Mask is played here by Creator/RobPaulsen, who described it as "playing Jim Carrey for less money".

* TheWikiRule: [[http://the-mask.wikia.com/wiki/The_Mask_Wiki The Mask Wiki]].

* WagTheDirector: According to Creator/RobPaulsen, executives initially pressed him to try and perfectly mimic Jim Carrey's performance. After a pep talk Creator/TimCurry, Paulsen told the executives something along the lines of ''"If you want Jim Carrey, you can hire Jim Carrey. But you can't afford Jim Carrey, so let me do this role my way."'' Following this, the executives relented.

* DoingItForTheArt: Carrey went to the extra trouble of practicing how to talk/act while wearing the Mask's enormous fake teeth to enhance the comedic effect. Production had initially assumed that these scenes would be filmed with no sound from the Mask and dubbed later.
** In general, the filmmakers ended saving a lot of money on special effects because of Carrey's talent for cartoonish gesticulation.

* TalkingToHimself: In the episode "Split Personality", the Mask and Stanley share the same body when the mask splits in half, so Rob Paulsen spends most of the episode conversing between the two.
* RecycledTheSeries: A cartoon adaptation of a PG-13 Jim Carrey movie (two similar series that fit this description include the ''Ace Ventura: Pet Detective'' animated series - with which this show had a {{Crossover}} - and the short-lived cartoon adaptation of ''Dumb and Dumber'')

* FocusGroupEnding: A rather minor one in this instance, but still ultimately an improvement. In the original ending, it was only Charlie who dove into the water after the Mask, but test audiences had grown to love [[MansBestFriend Milo]] so much that they wanted ''him'' to get it.

** [[spoiler:Peggy's death after betraying Stanley, where Dorian (who has the Mask on) hurls Peggy into a printing press before a series of red-stained newspapers get printed with a fake story reporting her death.]] Because of that, Peggy [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse disappears from the plot after getting her money]] and [[KarmaHoudini didn't get what she deserved]]. Russell removed it because of fears it would be too dark for the film and an unrealized plan to have her appear in a sequel that never came to fruition.

** [[Film/ToTheLimit Anna Nicole Smith]], Creator/JenniferConnelly, Music/VanessaWilliams, Creator/KristySwanson, and Creator/JeriRyan were considered for the part of Tina Carlyle before Creator/CameronDiaz was cast. Upon being cast, [[https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshweiss/2019/07/29/a-smoooooookin-oral-history-of-the-mask-on-the-films-25th-birthday/?sh=658b43371cad Diaz proved too charismatic]] for the BitchInSheepsClothing angle that the Tina character was originally written in mind with, so the character was then rewritten to be a genuine NiceGirl.

** [[Film/ToTheLimit Anna Nicole Smith]], Creator/JenniferConnelly, Music/VanessaWilliams, Creator/KristySwanson, and Creator/JeriRyan were considered for the part of Tina Carlyle before Creator/CameronDiaz was cast.

** In one of the earlier drafts of the script, the Coco Bongo was originally called the Monkey's Paw. Not sure why they changed the name. The club was called the Valhalla Club in another draft.

* BonusMaterial: Vol.2 of the {{Omnibus}} included the short stories of ''Dark Horse Presents'' and ''A Decade of Dark Horse'' compilations apart of the main series.

** Yes, that is Jim Carrey singing "Cuban Pete." (However, that's not Cameron Diaz singing in the nightclub, as anyone who has seen ''Film/MyBestFriendsWedding'' can attest.) Both Carrey and Diaz did their dancing; Jim even helped choreograph the "Cuban Pete" number.

** The prologue, in which Leif Ericson ended up in what would later be America ''just because it was far enough away for him to get rid of the mask.'' "Leave [naming the place] to the Italians. This land is now ''cursed.'' "
** [[spoiler:Peggy's death after betraying Stanley, where Dorian (who has the Mask on) hurls Peggy into a printing press before a series of red-stained newspapers get printed with a fake story reporting her death]]. Because of that, Peggy [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse disappears from the plot after getting her money]] and [[KarmaHoudini didn't get what she deserved]]. Russell removed it because of fears it would be too dark for the film and an unrealized plan to have her appear in a sequel that never came to fruition.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Very surprisingly inverted if one listens to the DVD commentaries/behind-the-scenes material. Chuck Russell -- director of ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors''-- stated that New Line was interested in developing ''The Mask'' along the lines of the comic books; this would have become, according to Russell, "the next Freddy Krueger." But, he noted, that draft after draft of the more comics-faithful adaptation did not work. So, he fought valiantly to make the film a comedy; the Cuban Pete sequence is one of the few elements that survived until the final cut.

** In a [[https://youtu.be/eG1DobNvrCw deleted scene]] from the extended workprint, Dorian says to Tina, “Nobody ever kissed you like Dorian Tyrell.” Had this scene stayed in the final cut, that line would’ve become a MeaningfulEcho when [[spoiler:Tina tricks him into taking off the Mask.]]

* VanityPlate: [[https://youtu.be/dDcfH_yL3oU?t=10 New Line's now-iconic logo]] debuted with "The Mask," though [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness the animation differed slightly compared to the standard version, with the blue light shifting around the screen before settling behind the logo, and the NLC name being in a different font]]; furthermore, theatrical prints had the late 1980s New Line logo at the beginning, with home video and TV versions adding the prototype but retaining the old logo at the end.

** In one of the earlier drafts of the script, the Coco Bongo was originally called the Monkey’s Paw. Not sure why they changed the name. The club was called the Valhalla Club in another draft.

--->'''NP:''' To whoever won that contest: sorry.

** Another early script draft included Stanley as The Mask going through a CostumeTestMontage, performing an InstantCostumeChange to try out each one. His costumes include a tacky Creator/DonJohnson -style outfit, a TotallyRadical 90s rapper-style outfit (which he dismisses as for "buttonheads"), and Calvin Klein underwear ("Marky Mark, eat your heart out.") before settling with the signature banana-yellow zoot suit. The animated series used the idea of The Mask going through a costume change as a way for The Mask to wear something appropriate for any situations he finds himself in.

* DuelingWorks: This show and ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''. They both ran from 1995-1997, and they both feature mild-mannered everyguys taking on an insane yet heroic persona. ''Freakazoid'' was a little DenserAndWackier than ''The Mask'' because there weren't really any straight characters (except maybe Cosgrove, and even he’s TheComicallySerious). It also didn't see nearly as much success, unfortunately.

** In the French dub, Emmanuel Curtil (Jim Carrey's official French dub voice actor) voices Stanley Ipkiss/The Mask, reprising his role from the movie.
** In the English version, Ben Stein reprised his role as Dr. Neuman, the only actor from the movie to do so.
** The European Spanish dub had all the voice actors reprising their roles from the film, including Luis Posada as Stanley Ipkiss / The Mask. The sole exception was Doyle, who Joaquín Muñoz voiced instead of Miguel Rey.

* PromotedFanboy: Of this film, that is. Music/TheWeeknd has said that this movie was the first he ever saw and inspired him to pursue a career in audio-visual art. And as fate would have it, upon attaining stardom he ended up moving to a house not far from Creator/JimCarrey's own and they became good neighbors! He would cast Carrey as the DJ who narrates the 2022 ConceptAlbum ''Dawn FM'', and in the ending of the video for "Out of Time", Carrey places a blank full-face mask on Abel's own as an ActorAllusion.

* OneBookAuthor: Heidi Shannon, who voiced Peggy, doesn't seem to have any other credits besides this show, and very little is known about her, not even having a page on Wikipedia.

It also didn’t see nearly as much success, unfortunately.

* SparedByTheCut: Peggy Brandt sells out Stanley to Dorian, foolishly believing he wouldn't hurt Stanley despite knowing he's a ''mobster''. In the theatrical cut, she disappears from the movie entirely after Dorian captures Stanley. In the original version, however, Dorian throws her into a printing press and kills her; her blood forms the text ink, and, for some reason, her face is the newspaper cover photo.

** Somewhat for Creator/JimCarrey as well. ''Film/AceVenturaPetDetective'' put him on the radar after ''Series/InLivingColor'', but this is what indeed established him as a big star. After all, Ace Ventura seems to act incredibly cartoonishly for no reason; however, this film justifies Ipkiss' equally silly behavior as The Mask because the mask is a magic reality-warper that removes most of the wearer's inhibitions. He's also a fan of classic cartoons.

* TheOtherDarrin: Stanley/The Mask is played here by Creator/RobPaulsen, who described it as "playing Jim Carrey for less money."

** Black Pearl was set to work on a Sega Genesis version of the SNES game, but this never came about. The lead programmer added that a level set in a carnival ended up cut.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Sly Eastenegger's SmallNameBigEgo tendencies are closer to the current conception of Creator/TomCruise than to Creator/ClintEastwood (whose later career has primarily been driven by OscarBait), Creator/SylvesterStallone (whose roles in ''{{Film/Rocky}}'' and ''{{Film/Creed}}'' largely restored his reputation as a serious, dramatic actor) and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger (who, in addition to governing a state, has made it pretty clear he's in on the joke in regards to his over-the-top macho roles).

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: The movie adaptation is far better known, surprising people when they learn the comics came first.

* EarlyBirdRelease: The first mini-series is considered this, being part of the ''Mayhem'' magazine as one of the new comic books Dark Horse was making. This was later compiled as ''The Mask #0''.
* FranchiseKiller: The ''Son of the Mask'' movie was the reason why Dark Horse stopped making ''The Mask'' comic books. Or at least until 2014's ''Itty Bitty Mask''.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: The movie adaptation is far better known, leading to surprise when people learn the comics came first.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was an interquel planned that would fill in the time between Kathy getting the Mask by killing Ipkiss in ''The Mask #0'' and the first series, but didn't see the light.

* ActorInspiredElement: The Mask's banana-yellow zoot suit was based on an outfit Jim Carrey's mother made for him to wear in his early standup days.

** Yes, that is Jim Carrey singing "Cuban Pete". (That is not, however, Cameron Diaz singing in the nightclub, as anyone who has seen ''Film/MyBestFriendsWedding'' can attest.) Both Carrey and Diaz did all of their own dancing, Jim even helped choreograph the "Cuban Pete" number.
** He also lives up to his nickname of "Rubber Face" when Stanley first becomes The Mask. CGI was used to distort the mask on his face, but the wacky, cartoonish faces? All Jim Carrey.
* DarkhorseCasting: Creator/CameronDiaz was a model with no prior acting experience at the time.

** [[spoiler:Peggy's death after betraying Stanley, where Dorian (who has the Mask on) hurls Peggy into a printing press, before a series of red-stained newspapers are printed with a fake story reporting her death]]. Because of that, Peggy [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse disappears from the plot after getting her money]] and [[KarmaHoudini didn't get what she deserved]]. It was removed because of fears it would be too dark for the film, and an unrealized plan to have her appear in a sequel that never came to fruition.

** An early workprint of the movie can be found online which has more extended/deleted scenes not available on the DVD. One of which is a scene that shows Stanley getting dropped off by his apartment after finding The Mask in the Edge City river, and is immediately confronted by the same street gang that he would see again shortly as The Mask. The gang's leader asks Stanley for the time so he can steal his watch, foreshadowing how Stanley would soon get payback on him as The Mask when asked the same question.

** The workprint also makes Tina come across as much more cynical compared to the final cut, as added lines make it clear that she hates the fact she's been forced into recording the bank's security in the opening scene, but does so because IDidWhatIHadToDo (and tells Stanley this in Landfill Park). This would have made her later speech to Stanley at the jail have more dramatic weight behind it, and it would have been more obvious that she had a more romantic view of life by the ending.

* DoingItForTheArt: Carrey went to the extra trouble of practicing how to talk/act while wearing the Mask's enormous fake teeth, to enhance the comedic effect. Production had at first assumed that these scenes would be filmed with no sound from the Mask and dubbed later.

* MidDevelopmentGenreShift: The film was originally going to be like the comic and the start of horror franchise as a replacement of the Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet films, With Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare planned to be the last film in the franchise. When Creator/JimCarrey was cast, it became more of a comedy.
* MissingTrailerScene: The trailer has Stanley being mugged by the gang and saying "I have no money". This was cut from the film.

** The Lady Cop featured in the "Cuban Pete" number is played by Krista Buonauro, but her singing was done by Angie Jaree.
* OrphanedReference: An original script idea was for Stanley Ipkiss to meet the street gang that he later encounters as the Mask earlier in the film, getting mugged and having his watch stolen. This is why when his landlady asks him if he knows what time it is, he says, "Actually, no."

** The Mask pulling out a condom in the balloon-making scene was an addition by Jim Carrey.

* VanityPlate: ''The Mask'' saw the debut of [[https://youtu.be/dDcfH_yL3oU?t=10 New Line's now-iconic logo]] (although [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness the animation was slightly different compared to the usual version, with the blue light shifting around the screen before settling behind the logo, and the NLC name being in a different font]]; furthermore, theatrical prints had the late 1980s New Line logo at the beginning, with home video and TV versions adding the prototype but retaining the old logo at the end).

** In the one of the earlier drafts of the script, the Coco Bongo was originally called the Monkey’s Paw. Not sure why the name was changed.

** At one point, the studio worked with the idea of making the sequel about a woman (possibly ether Peggy or Tina) wearing the Mask.
