Random Trivia For This Title:

• The one thing that attracted Jim Carrey to the project more than anything else was that Stanley Ipkiss, much like him, is a huge fan of cartoons.
• An original script idea was for Stanley to meet the street gang that he later encounters as the Mask earlier in the film, getting mugged and having them steal his watch. This is why when his landlady asks him if he knows what time it is, he says, "Actually, no."
• Many of the moves in Tina's nightclub act are directly taken from Red's nightclub act in the [Tex Avery] cartoon {Red Hot Riding Hood}, a portion of which Stanley watches at the beginning of the movie.
• As befits Stanley's obsession with cartoons, The Mask acts like various cartoon characters, most notably the Tazmanian Devil (traveling as a tornado), Pepe Le Pew (romancing Tina in the park), Bugs Bunny (dying in the gangster's arms), and [Tex Avery]'s Wolf (seeing Tina in the nightclub).
• The banana-yellow suit that Jim Carrey wears is based on a suit which his mother made for him for his first attempt at stand-up comedy.
• Prior to Cameron Diaz landing the role of Tina Carlyle, the producers had originally suggested a relative unknown but up and coming blonde Anna Nicole Smith for the role. Ultimately the decision was reversed when they found Cameron Diaz while leaving a modeling agency.
• The oversized teeth on the Mask character were originally to be used only during silent scenes. However, Jim Carrey learned to talk with them on to make his character that much more wacky.
