Ace Ventura: Pet Detective follows the eccentric and rubber-faced animal investigator Ace Ventura as he works to recover the Miami Dolphins' kidnapped mascot and star quarterback Dan Marino before the Super Bowl. The 1994 comedy launched Jim Carrey into superstardom with his outrageous physical humor and unforgettable catchphrases. Directed by Tom Shadyac, the film became a cultural phenomenon and spawned a successful sequel.
The film's climax involves the revelation that a character is transgender, played entirely as a disgusting punchline, with characters vomiting and expressing revulsion upon learning this.
