10 Things - The Mask The Version You've Never Seen 

The "Cuban Pete" scene was great! When the female cop started singing, I was ROFL! 🤣

I cannot fathom a world without Cuban Pete, after all, he's the king of the Rumba Beat.

What an amazing performance by the great, Jim Carrey.

That deleted scene where Stanley's landlady shoots at him as The Mask would've made that even funnier than it already was

R.I.P. Louis Gossett Jr. Now is the time to do iron eagle. Diggstown . Even officer and a gentleman. The principal. The list goes on. Such a good actor. 😥

The Mask is one of those comedy gems that is unique and inspired. I think they should have left the killing time pun in the movie. It's funny and works very well with the scene.

Hard to believe its 30 years old this year. One of my favourite movies. For a film that's 30 years old the special effects still hold up along with the makeup effects.

Random police officer: " a bazooka?" Mask: " I have a permit for that." Doyle: "Picture of Calloway's wife." Callaway: "What?" Mask: "Uh Oh!" Callaway: " Margaret! You sonva.." Mask: " geez I really thought you had a sense of humor after all. YOU MARRIED HER!" Callaway: "Ahh!" Mask slaps both Callaway & Doyle Mask: "That's gotta hurt."

Ahh... Nothing like Minty in the morning to start the day!

"That's a spicy meatball!!!"

This is one of the first movies I drove myself to go see. Jim Carrey shaped a lot of my young adult sense of humor.

The Mask is comedic genius! I loved it as a kid and I still love it now!

Greetings and salutations from Ft Worth TX USA. Happy Easter to all.

SMOOOOOKIN'!

For about 30 seconds there, Minty, I thought I had clicked on the wrong video… That was a pretty good character voice. Still love this channel after all these years

The Cuban Pete scene is awesome!! I’m glad it was left in.

This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time and one of my first favorite movies as a child👍👍👍

Funny thing is, as a kid, when I'd see ads for this flick on the sides of the local public transit buses, the image of Jim's face turning into the mask morphing from one end of the poster to the other made me think it was a horror movie.

RIP Richard Jeni God rest you, Platypus Man.

Yeeeeh Minty!! Thank you for this awesome vid.

Carrey's best movie and one of the best movies from the 1990's

so glad the director won as far as saving The Cuban Pete sequence. 💚

Cameron Diaz in this movie. Wow! Smoking

Such a childhood defining movie. AWESOME EPISODE MINTY!!! been catching every episode of your's for years MUCH LOVE FROM LOS ANGELES

I was always disappointed this movie never got a proper sequel

15:00 An actual subversion of expectations that works.

My son used to hang out with the actor who portrayed Dorian.

Love this movie as well as this channel man. You remind me of an old buddy that has since passed- keep up the good work

We have a family cottage in northern Midwest. On snowy, cold, rainy days or nights we have classic movies. MASK, spaceballs, weekend at Bernie’s are some what we watch. Sometimes we get out the old VCR and what movies on vcr.

Milo the dog almost stole the show!!❤

Mask is 30?!? damn now i feel old :(

Smokin fast review! 😁

One of the best superhero movies ever...forget Marvel and DC pretentious, watered down cheap fun, The Mask was a true roller coaster ride 😁

I found the original black and white graphic novel in a three for a dollar bagged set in a discount store way back in 1998. Awesome find.

Been watching for a few years now! Always the the content and your genuine love for movies! 🍿

Nice Sean Connery Impression 😂😂

I'm glad they've made this into a dark comedy. The comics was really violent so I never bought one except with the one crossover with DC's Lobo.

I love the twist with the female leads, switching Good/Bad positions. Interestingly, this twist repeated in the cartoon with Peggy retaking the lead after remorse, and Tina not present. I guess the producers saw more long term potential in Peggy. I always figured that’s why they cut out her death scene. And she could have been in the sequel, had it been a more direct continuation from the original. Great video, thanks for all the info!

The Mask is a comedy classic as well as being a great comic book movie in its own right. It may not be tonally accurate but there are a lot of things from the comic lifted and adapted to the film. I love the visual look to the movie with all the neon blues, pinks and greens. The Jazz soundtrack is perfect and it’s a damn shame we never got a proper sequel with Jim Carrey. An R-Rated reboot would be acceptable in today’s world, I can see it being tonally similar to Joker with Jared Letto only more violent.

My favorite line "Look MA! I'm roadkill! HA HA HAAA! 😂

"Take it easy, lady! I'm just killing time!" Holy crap, that took me out 😂. I wish that stayed in the movie.

Good Morning Minty, cool video as always, you take care and have a great weekend sir

I'm DEFINITELY happy with the version we got and the 1995 to 1997 cartoon HUGE part of my childhood great days indeed

we don't talk about the sequel, oh the sequel

“Bring around…..the loaner”

One of my favourite romantic comedies of all time. I went to see the film at the pictures when I was 8 and I even loved it. You have to do more never before seen reviews like mrs doubtfire or superman the movie tv cut they are really interesting and some I saw on there I was shocked to see . Thanks Minty.

“LOOK MA, IM ROAD KILL! HA HA HAA!!!”

This movie was my wife’s and I first date… in the theater! We didn’t watch much of it at the time 😏 but I went a few more times & still own it on VHS & DVD.. Great coverage 👍

As a kid, I had the post-film novel. It had the viking intro, plus the part where Peggy the reporter gets thrown into the press. Thanks to this video, I now know those were deleted scenes

Before the infamous Son of the Mask was made, Nintendo Power Magazine ran a contest for a supposed sequel to The Mask. But it was canceled because Jim Carrey is not a fan of sequels, especially the poor performance of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Contest winner: Nathan Runk, was contacted by Nintendo Power after Carrey declined the role. Runk was given the option to either receive a cash payout ($5,000 USD), or waiting for the movie to be made in the future (so he could have the originally planned prize). He chose the money. In addition, Runk was given a multitude of THQ games, a unique The Mask II crew jacket (that he unfortunately lost as it got given to a Goodwill), and a phone call from Leslie Swan, a Nintendo localization manager and editor who voiced Princess Peach in Super Mario 64. The final issue of Nintendo Power (#285) included an apology to the winner of the contest: "To whoever won that contest: sorry."

Wow, so many scenes and clips I never seen before! Thanks so much for this - simply incredible to think how the movie COULD have turned out..

This easily couldve been an unforgettable epic horror movie

I appreciate your work, Minty. Thank you. 🙏🏼❤️

One of the best movies ever done ❤❤❤😂

Minty. I love your channel. Thank you for putting in the work. Cheers mate.

Good to hear from you again. I really enjoyed the first movie, but I'm not familiar with the comics. Thank you

11:30 I remember reading that they also wanted to keep her alive because they wanted to have her replace Stanley as the new lead. And shortly after Jim Carrey and his deal with a sequel ended around 1996, they were playing with the idea to instead have her be the lead instead and have her be the one to find the mask and become the first live action big head. And although that never happened, the actress who played her got the chance to show up at the premiere of Son of the Mask with her daughter.

Cameron Diaz stole the show. I had my mouth hanging open every time she was on screen. Jim Carry deserved a trilogy for his amazing performance.

I cannot see anyone else playing The Mask. The role was definitely made for him.

One of my favourite Jim Carey movies, absolute classic.

Good classic comedy movie I remember growing up to The Mask. Thanks for this information bro 👍👍

🎶 "They call me Cuban pete. I'm the king of the Rumba beat."

I'd really love to find a draft of the script where Tina is written as the "bad girl". Great video!

Nice new set up ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☀️💪🙏🙏

The Mask movie is a fine classic! But what I have wanted FOR YEARS and YEARS now is a movie, no a trilogy of The Mask fully based on the comic-books from the original Dark Horse publishing. That bloody violance, that dark humor and insane graphics. How and why this has not happend yet is beyond any sane reason as I KNOW this is not only a gold-mine ready to get but the possibilities are so great AND the budget(s) don't have any need for be huge. We see a lot of "The Conjuring, The Nun, Exorcist" etc milking that serves no purpose what-so-ever but this concept of having The Mask in the first set of movies be based on Stanley Ipkiss and Lt. Calloway's stories and then if there are good ideas see the mask happens in the hands of new people using it for there gains - in same insane way....

So glad they went the humorous route with the movie. Absolute classic.

Cameron Diaz in The Mask - Smokin'!! 🔥🔥 Stanley can Ipkiss my edge city

this era of cinema was so much fun

Absolutely ingenious decision to change it from horror to romantic comedy caper. Well done.

Great episode Mark! 👍

….hey buddy!!!! Where you been….😆😆😆

Its still nuts that I never realized that Son of the Mask was "suppose" to be a sequel when I was very young

Smokin!

The comic is always at ever half price books I’ve been to. I got all 3. Greetings from Dallas Tx

Great video, but Im distracted by the Chucky on your shelf. It's eyes glow blue and its a sensor one that slices, yeah? well staged and a great Chucky prop to have. Do a review on a "They live" pls :)

Smokin' one, Minty.

15:45 I'm sure that Hollywood will eventually do a dark, gritty reboot, that is probably more inline with the original comics.

You know what time it is everyone? It’s party time! P-a-r-t why? because I gotta!!!

I would have liked having the Viking intro, and I agree that the extended alarm clock scene with the "killing time" one-liner would have been great to leave in, but I pretty much agree with the rest of the cuts. With regards to a sequel, I was a regular subscriber to Nintendo Power magazine back when The Mask came out, and I remember that, to celebrate the release of the tir-in video game, the magazine held a contest with the grand prize being a walk-on role in the sequel (which it claimed was already in pre-production at that point). I wonder what happened with the winner of that contest. Anyways, I would be open to a sequel even all these years later, as long as Carey could be convinced to do it. Maybe have the mask find its way to an adult child of Stanley's who is down on their luck or something like that (of course, for a notable portion of the film, we would HAVE TO see Stanley himself return as the Mask).

One of the best things about the masks the soundtrack it brought swing music into main stream for a time .

"ooh!.. ya got me partner...ooh ah eee! Ooh ah wahhh. Claw me closer ed, it's getting dark! Tell Tiny Tim I won't be coming home for Christmas. Tell auntie em to let ole yeller out"

Wow this is 30 years old! I remember being in the cinema and watching this with a girl and I caught up on VHS because we were too busy haha

My aunt let me watch this when I was around 4 or 5 years old, as she was babysitting me for the evening. I have no memory of watching it, but according to her and my mom, I was terrified and had quite a few nightmares after watching it lol.

8:36 - I DIED LAUGHING AT JIM (VENOM) CARREY!!! I hope that for the 30th anniversary, they release an extended version of the movie, and next year they do the Schumacher cut.

Also, the illusions to past superhero tropes found in Superman and Batman comics. Peggy is a newspaper writer like Louis Lane, while Tina is a girlfriend of a mob boss, working at his "legitimate" business. This is more a general trope where the female character can be a temptation to the or further obstacles, misleading or attacking them. Sometimes, they support the villain but wind up being double crossed like peggy. Alicia Hunt from the burtonverse certainly cames to mind. The weirdness is that the T.V. show splits into an alternate reality where Stanley DOESN'T give up the mask and thus loses Tina. INSTEAD Tina is brought back into the picture and made much more like her Lous Lane inspiration, but a bit reversed. She and Stanley make up where she still clearly knows who the Mask is but likes Stanley. She has a mild, playful relationship with the Mask, almost to an antagonistic point. It's a very siblingesque dynamic since he is much more a seperate entity and tends to throw his "normal" counterpart under the bus. She is attracted to Stanley and supports him though he does have other momentary love intrests and they never ran long enough to have the two officially get together as far as I remember. She is much more mild, ethical but also curious and sassy like Lois Lane tended to be. Tina however, doesn't make an appearence and apparently just fled for a better life out of Edge city after she was freed from mob ties and Stanley went the more asshole route. It may seem really weird that Peg woudl be set the way she was in the movie, based on a famous preexisting hero love intrest, just to fake us out as the opposite, but then became that character..except..you'll notice the world of the cartoon Mask gets progressively more and more like a comic. The characters and events drift further and further from our standard base reality, with more carrooney elements introduced. Stanley also wears the mask much more often, becoming the superhero identity more and more of his time. I think the possible inference is that reality IS warping thanks to the Mask. Since this version of Stanley was still more immature and wanted to play the superhero, the continued use of the Mask by him started to cause thar fantasy to start taking over reality. Stanley was going to be a superhero so now he needed a new, fitting girlfriend and villains so the Mask produced. They brought an old face back but warped her mind and caused a sudden rush of villains to be created/show up but with cartooney intent.

Mandela Effect moment... I was a huge Mask fan growing up. I have seen the "just killing time" scene previously. It wasn't on the VHS version, but maybe a TV version? I always remembered him saying it, even though I knew it was cut from certain versions.

I remember seeing this in the theatres when I was a kid. It was as hilarious then as it is now

I sooooo loved Cameron Diaz in this film. She was fine in all the others but something about her in this was where she really shined.

Would have loved to see the dark and violent version of The Mask, especially if it spawned an actual horror franchise like Nightmare on Elm Street. Same goes with the horror version of Beetlejuice that was to be directed by Wes Craven.

If there ever is a comic book accurate version of The Mask it should be animated. Invincible is a great example.

LMFAO, when this movie came out, i used to make my classmates laugh, by imitating Jim Carrey, from this movie!! Particularly by spinning around & going "Smokin", lol! Good times, good times! I too, would love to see a reboot of this flick, that is more faithful to the comics.

When people talk about childhood or teen crushes Cameron Diaz in the film made me swoon!

Great video, love this film

I'm kind of curious to maybe read the outline for that earlier version of The Mask you were describing that involved a Mask maker that was turning kids into zombies. From what I recall reading from the original comics I don't think I recall seeing anything like that in the stories. I'm kind of curious as to where the producers wanted to go with that adaptation angle of The Mask as far as doing a franchise and how each installment would work.

Love your videos, but is there anyway you can get a lav mic for your room shots? It will up your production value instead of having that room tone. Keep up the good work!

....."Smokin"👌

Cameron Diaz is absolutely smoking in this

Love your music AND videos Pit Bull!

Wait... they wanted to cut the Cuban Pete scene?!?! But that's the best part!

love the opening even if the ozzie accent keeps slipping out
