* BTeamSequel: Tom Shadyac was uninterested in returning to direct the second film.

* WagTheDirector: According to Jim Carrey's ''Film/DumbAndDumber'' co-star Creator/JeffDaniels, Carrey objected to Ace having a bat phobia, believing it [[TookALevelInJerkass undermined the character]], and fought with the director about it, suggesting that Ace was merely ''allergic'' to bats. Carrey was also edgy about the second film's depiction of Africans, to the point where he was surprised the film wasn't banned.

* TroubledProduction: The first film had an overall relatively trouble-free shoot. The same, however, could not be said for the sequel, whose troublesome production ended up being a major reason why Creator/JimCarrey became notoriously reluctant to do sequels to his films:
** The first film's director, Tom Shadyac, wasn't interested in returning. Creator/SpikeJonze lobbied for the position, but was overruled by Carrey (who later described it as the biggest mistake of his entire career; the two later worked together on ''Film/EternalSunshineOfTheSpotlessMind'') leading to the job instead going to newcomer [=Tom DeCerchio=], who had a long-standing career as a commercial director, but whose only work in fiction had been directing a short film. [=DeCerchio=] barely lasted for the first week of shooting before quitting, allegedly due to disputes with Carrey and the producers; screenwriter Creator/SteveOedekerk, who had been flown out to the filming location to perform on-set tweaks to the script, ended up being hastily promoted to replace him, largely because he and Carrey were already long-time friends.
** Despite the change in director, Carrey remained sullen throughout production due to it being a ContractualObligationProject, and frequently clashed with co-star Simon Callow. Also, despite the change in director, Carrey and Oedekerk still argued about several aspects of production, most notably Ace's fear of bats.
** Midway through production, Carrey fell ill, causing the shoot to over-run. Despite this, none of the actors' or crew-members' contracts mandated that they be paid extra in the event of such an event, causing the on-set atmosphere to grow steadily worse. Callow in particular ended up suffering from this, as he had commitments to a stage play in London, so the producers offered to fly him back to London as needed, but failed to mention that they were deducting the cost from his salary, leading him to later complain that he ended up earning less from the film than he had done from appearing in an episode of ''Series/InspectorMorse'' several years prior.
** When all was said and done, the film was a major box-office success, but the troublesome shoot and especially the handling of the filming over-run resulted in Carrey and Oedekerk vowing never to make another ''Ace Ventura'' film, or indeed work with producer James G. Robinson on any other project. Robinson nonetheless tried to get a third film off the ground for several years, but the next sequel wouldn't come along for a whole 14 years -- when it arrived in the form of ''Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Jr.'', which got an extremely negative reception and proved the FranchiseKiller for the series.

* The plot is inspired a bit by the Buffalo Bills losing their first Super Bowl appearance (Super Bowl XXV in 1990), in which then-kicker, Scott Norwood, [[https://youtu.be/UT0r8wBL4QU missed the field goal]] that would have won them the game. Ironically, The Buffalo Bills and The Miami Dolphins have been arch-rival teams for years. Unlike the fictional Finkle, Norwood never became a mentally insane transwoman on the lam and Bills fans, while bummed, have since pretty much forgiven him (though there was some vitriol, initially). Norwood was actually a very good kicker but simply suffered from a case of NeverLiveItDown due to that infamous "Wide Right" kick.
