    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The oversized teeth on the Mask character were originally to be used only during silent scenes, but Jim Carrey learned to talk while wearing them to make his character that much more wacky.
    • Goofs
      When Stanley comes home after being in the river, wet up to his belt, he enters his apartment and sits on the couch, and his pants are dry and clean.
    • Quotes
      • [repeated line]
      • The Mask: S-ssss-ssss-sssss-smokin'!
    • Crazy credits
      When all the credits have finished some jazz drumming is heard. Then the familiar sounds of The Mask are heard saying "Yo-ho-ho-ho" (in a very drawn voice) then the sound of The Mask spinning away is heard straight after.
    • Alternate versions
      There is a deleted scene in which the hood rats harassed Stanley and took his watch prior to entering his apartment building and after getting the mask from the polluted river, this explains why he punished the hoodlums and why they asked for the time, it also clarifies when Stanley's landlady asks him if he knows what time it is and he answers that he actually does not.
