The Mask (1994) |*First Time Watching*| Movie Reaction | Asia and BJ 

Fun fact, when they made the ridiculously oversized dentures for the Mask character, the never expected Jim Carrey to actually be able to talk with them in. They had just planned for him to mouth his lines and dub the voice in later. But Jim Carrey took a set home with him and practiced talking with them in until he didn't need to be dubbed in later. Now that's what you call being devoted to your craft.

Jim Carrey’s 1994 may be the greatest year any comedic actor has ever had. Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber. He went from being a relative unknown to the biggest movie star in the world in one year. As a little kid at the time, he was my first favorite actor.

BJ: “Who’s she pointing’ at?” Asia: “Not you!!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Cameron Diaz was an absolute smokeshow in this movie. And fun fact - this was her first role.

The way Asia looked at him when he said “I like the other girl better” 😂😂

Jim Carrey was the absolute best pick for this role. Literally nobody could have performed better.

I die everytime Asia impersonates the Mask lmao she was practicing that teeth chattering giggle the whole movie and she got it down by the end🤣🤣

The reaction at 3:20 had me LAMO…😂.Every man “made that face” when first watching this movie, its a reflex. Cameron Diaz burst onto the scene in this movie. This is truly one of the iconic comedy movies of the 90s. Brilliant movie and reaction.

For those who didn’t catch it, the mask enhances a personality, and makes it revealed on the outside. Stanley was a love sick wildman of a fan of loony tunes for the mask made him when he was but MORE.

I recently rewatched it and realized that The mask character has the powers that Wiley coyote has! He’s always watching those cartoons and has them around his apartment! Everything he does is done in the cartoons!

The Masks power is pretty unique, as far as powers are concerned. It normally goes by ‘Toonforce’, which grants the user the ability to warp reality and physics to an obscene level. The scale at which they can manipulate reality varies but it’s usually contained to their general surroundings but the magnitude and devastation of their power can be inconsistent sometimes. The Mask brings out the users inner desires/darkness and allows them to bend reality as they see fit, but the Masks mischievous nature keeps them from becoming a full-fledged superhero.

Jim Carrey did everything in this barring the CGI crazy stuff. He's such an underrated Dancer on top of being one of the finest Comedic Actors to ever grace the silver screen. Absolutely adore the dude. 💚💚💚💚💚

It brings me joy to see others discover these gems from the past.

Sadly the man who played Stanley's friend Charlie (Richard Jenni) took his own life in 2007. I'd have loved to see him in more movies

When I was a kid this was my favorite I'd rent it everytime we went to our weekly blockbuster trip. My dad finally got pissed and just bought the damn VHS tape, actually saved him money in the long run lol

This was great! From Asia giving "The Look" to BJ, to her trying the jaw shake. Thanks for making my day you two. 😂🤣😂🤣

The mask does not transform the wearer into another person, the mask brings out the hidden possessions of the wearer. Stanley is a good-hearted, romantic, happy but also inhibited man inside. The mask brings out these qualities in him. :D Dorian is greedy and evil inside, so the mask makes him even more evil. :D The mask is always based on the personality of the wearer, and the mask gives the wearer powers according to their personality. :D

My absolute favorite movie as a kid. This entire 1990s cast is perfect. Ghad damn this movie is perfect

This movie was and is still one of my most favorite comedies of all time! The Cuban Pete scene kills me every time!😅

"Who she pointing at" "NOT YOU" 🤣🤣..that got me man

y’all should check out The Burbs with Tom Hanks

16:27 BJ: "Who's she pointing at?" Asia (with jealously and anger on her face): "NOT YOU!"

“Who’s she pointing at?” “Not you!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Sounds exactly like something my wife would say. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've always loved how, when Milo picks up the cheese and Stan tells him to drop it, the dog looks at him like he's saying, "Aww... but I like cheese!" Plus, when he starts to pull the keys away from the guard, he has a look on his face, like he's actually afraid of the guard waking up and seeing him.

For anyone whos wondering. The Mask gives its wearer nigh omnipotent powers. Such as immortality, reality warping, creation, shapeshifting, transfiguration, size manilpulation, ect. The list goes on. An it can also effect people around them of their choosing. It also diminishes the wearers mental state driving them psychotic. The comics are much more darker, violent, & gory. But the film itself was brilliant as well. Love this movie!

My kids loved this movie. They were 13 and 12 at that time. By the way the dog is a Jack Russell Terrier. The Bright yellow suit is called a Zoot Suit. He was actually didn't get hired for SNL twice. He tried out for SNL for the 1980- 81 season and didn't get the job. Then in 1985- 86 he tried again and didn't get into the show (SNL) again. Another Movie you might want to check out is a Horror Comedy called "Once Bitten" in mid November of 1985. It was a minor hit at the time. It is a somewhat goofy movie with a few big stars. Lauren Hutton, Cleavon Little (Sheriff Bart in Blazing Saddles), Jim Carey. Thank you for this Reaction video, Asia and BJ.

Childhood classic for me (I'm 33) I think it still holds up very well today. Love it. Asia don't be getting jealous of BJ and Diaz, you are just as beautiful girl.

I can't believe BJ admitted that he liked the blonde better than the red head did you see how Asia looked at him! 😄

Great homage to old Tex Avery cartoons. Next you need to watch Liar Liar with Jim Carrey. Agreed that he was almost born to play this role.

Next Time Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Not only did he do the dance moves, but he also sang the song Cuban Pete.

He was doing all this while starring on In Living Color.

Yall have to check out Liar Liar. That movie will have you laughing your ass off. And Ace Ventura that's hilarious too. Oh and Bruce Almighty. He's a comic genius.

Asia was too much on this one. Between her reacting to BJ reacting to Cameron Diaz to her doing the teeth thing and cracking herself up doing it. Super funny.

Great reaction!!! 😁😊 As a hardcore Jim Carrey fan, "The Mask" is kick-ass funny movie 😂😁😂 Hope your guys react to Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura!

YES!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MOVIES! Before Jim Carrey was cast as Stanley Ipkiss, John Ritter, Robin Williams, Matthew Broderick, Keanu Reeves, Steve Martin, Mike Myers, Martin Short and Rick Moranis were considered. Rupert Everett, Willem Dafoe, Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper and Robert DeNiro were almost cast as the villain. John Heard, Warren Beatty, Pierce Brosnan, Richard Gere, and Tim Allen were considered for Lt. Kellaway. Vanessa Williams, Tia Carrere, Vanessa Angel, Anna Nicole Smith, and Kristy Swanson were considered for Tina Carlyle

I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. I was 11 when this came out. As I was watching I was reciting every line. Loved that you reacted to this movie. Thank you for the trip down memory lane lol. I also believe that this was Cameron Diaz’s first movie role.

In the "Cuban Pete" segment, it is indeed Jim Carrey not only dancing but also singing.

Harry Connick Jr, sang the song in the club. Jim Carrey sang the song escaping the park. And the dog Milo was the star from the sitcom Frazier. A lot of fun guys. 👍

I was a senior in high school when "In Living Color' was on TV. Fire Marshall Bill was the best. You guys should rewatch some of those skits as reactions. He and Damon Wayans were hilarious. 😂😂😂

They wanted an unknown to play the role of Tina so that audiences would think she was playing the femme fatale and have Peggy be the good girl - and then play the switch later on. The woman playing Peggy also played Maid Marian in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, where she was the heroine.

Jack Russells are smart, agile, sociable, and hyperactive. They're a lot of fun, but they need constant interaction. They're not a dog you can ignore.

12:00 In the comic book, Stanley removed their skulls and replaced them with the mufflers. The comic took-place in a more gritty and realistic world and was much, much darker: Stanley goes back to a mean gradeschool teacher and kills her in front of her students. Much, much darker. In that story Stanley Ipkiss is a psycho and he gets killed because of his cruel behavior, and the Mask winds-up in possession of Kellaway who becomes a superhero and uses it to take-out the crime syndicate in town but the power leads him to attack the police chief and almost kill his partner, who is a much more fleshed-out and human character; and Kellaway ends up burying the mask in his basement under a lot of concrete. The Mask begs to be worn and it gives those who wear it godlike powers, and that kind of power should tend to drive people insane, like Kurtz in *Apocalypse Now.* Most people experience it in a cartoon-like way of being because that's generally what it is like and the closest association people who are aware of cartoons can readily assume and be with it on will be to behave like they are in a cartoon.

If you haven't already, can I suggest The Outsiders? It's my favorite 😂

When I was a kid I would do fire marshal Bill impressions constantly 😂 those FMB skits are still hilarious!

I love your reactions. You guys were grinning from ear to ear the entire movie. Jim Carey was a HUGE part of the 90s for me growing up as a kid. My first favorite actor. This movie is a staple and everyone needs to watch it.

I love the scene when The Mask sings Cuban Pete. It's so funny and very Broadway-esque. I really really love the bit toward the end where he appears over the bar and pulls a Clint Eastwood with that line from Dirty Harry. "Now you have to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky ? Well, do ya....punk?"

Whenever Jim Carrey is dancing in a movie it is him; he's just one of those actors that really gets into the part.

This is the film that made Jim and Cameron. You will love there's something about Mary with Cameron Diaz.

My uncle was a producer on in living color (he now does blackish, grownish, mixedish). Hearing you guys talk about in living color makes me happy. Thank you!

I always loved that last minute "Smokin'" remark at the end, not only because Milo gets the Mask and Ipkiss gets the girl, but because it gives you the hint that The Mask & Stanley had fused together to become one person.

The oversized teeth on the Mask 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.

Fun fact: 5:25 The garage was the fire station in Ghostbusters.

The dog is Great in this and I think he should of won some kind of special Dog Oscar for this movie. lol

I watched this when I was 6 and ever since I’ve had a soft spot for Jack Russells just because of Milo 😂🥰

Diaz always one of my favourite female actors. Not just because she is hot, but also got great natural humour. Any time I've seen her in interviews she seems down to earth and laughing her ass off a lot too. Think one of my favourites for this was her and Tom Cruise on Top Gear.

K you guys should add Who Framed Roger Rabbit? to your list you guys would like it.

Ironically in the cartoon series, based on the movie, Peggy the redheaded reporter actually became the female protagonist. Yep there was a cartoon that ran for 3 seasons & it was really good. The movie is actually based on a comicbook series, which was actually more darker, multiple people wore the mask & when you wore it you became a psychotic killer, & The Mask was known in the comics as The Big Head Killer.

Who remembers the mask cartoon as a kid? Because of the success of the movie which produced a shit ton of toys like ghostbusters it got its own cartoon & i remember it being good.

Interesting fact: The Mask was actually an extremely violent and bloody comic book. Nevertheless, I love the Jim Carrey version very much. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. The animated series was also very good back when it aired on Cartoon Network.

This for us was when MOST of us saw Jim Carey in a whole new way and as a Hollywood guy. Like a Tex Avery cartoon come to life. Fun film, glad you both liked it

Jim Carrey was next level hilarious in Me, Myself, and Irene 😆

You just CAN'T be in a bad mood and watch this!! What a great way to sit on a Saturday evening and relax. And I popped some popcorn as soon as you two mentionded it.

"What's she pointin' at?" "Not you." 😄🤣💀

Loved this as a kid...constant rewind on VHS!

My brother, my cousin, and I wore our vhs copy of this movie out because we played and replayed it so often. LOVED this movie growing up.

Loki is the Norse god of mischief. So the mask gives him magic powers and unleashes the ego part of the person's personality.

Milo was the real hero of this movie.

You guys are killing the reactions. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!!!!!!

Fun fact This is based on a dark comic book. Like it's horrifying what the Mask does in the comics. He's known as the Big Head Killer. They made it more comedic for the movie but still kinda dark.

the film with which Cameron Diaz became famous. They started offering her roles from everywhere, which mostly required her to be blonde, and in the frame, but she did the smartest thing: she said "no" and went to study acting!How many young actors would take such a risk after their big break?!

This movie remains hilarious. More reactors need to lean into these 90s and 00s throwback films. Jim Carrey: The Mask (1994), Dumb and Dumber (1994), Liar Liar (1997) Whoopi Goldberg: Sister Act (1992), Corinna Corinna (1994), The Associate (1996) Michelle Pfeiffer: Witches of Eastwick (1987), Batman Returns (1992), One Fine Day (1996), What Lies Beneath (2000)

Mask here is the definition of chaotic neutral. just imagine Mask, Genie, Deadpool, Loki and Joker in the same room. sanity would just 'nope!' out the window.

So glad you watched this .. one of the best movies that was ever made .. I still quote this movie often .. it's a movie you forget about everything the entire movie which is hard to do these days.. glad you enjoyed it

I love Jim Carey. I grew up watching Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin movies from the 60's. Jerry Lewis absolutely made me belly laugh. I never thought I would find another comedian who would run very close to Jerry Lewis. But Jim Carey is right up there on the top shelf of comedians. Great reaction as always guys. You both have great laughs and you are always very generous with your acknowledgements which just shows how genuine you both are!

What she pointing at? Not you. LOL!!!! Laughed so hard I cried!

I can't even describe how much of an all-time favorite iconic classic this is. This movie was my entire childhood. I was literally saying most of the lines before it happened, and reminiscing on scenes that weren't included in this reaction. Like the scene where he was in the alleyway (as The Mask) with that moronic biker gang. Lol He dressed as a Carnival Guy and blew up some balloons for them, even pulling out one of them that turned out to be NOT a balloon.....(if you know, you know), and then finally blowing up a black tinted balloon which turned into a tommy gun! And then when the biker gang all ran away, Mask said something like: _"This is incredible... With these powers, I could be. . . A SUPERHERO!"_ Which answers Asia & BJ's earlier question of if he has powers or not. It's shocking to me that they're just now getting around to seeing this absolute GEM of a movie, that I watched since childhood. It makes me wonder if you guys have never seen his other iconic classics, Like Ace Ventura or Dumb & Dumber? 🤔 The levels of pure nostalgia and fond memories I got from watching this movie is out of this world! It's huge hits like this is why Jim is a LEGEND! 🔥🐐🔥 Actually another fun fact is that he's similar to a cartoon character for a very good reason... The Mask is originated from its own comic books! The comic version has been watered down a bit by the film iteration of the character, because the comic character was actually just as ruthless and cold blooded as Dorian as the Mask... Lol 2 more fun facts: 1) There's technically a sequel to this movie called "Son of the Mask", but it's an absolute ass of a movie. It has a completely different set of actors *(so there's no Jim Carrey),* and it is NOTHING like the first movie. You likely won't like it nearly as much, but it is something to get a few cheap laughs in and if you want to kill some time. Lol And 2) there's a very interesting YT channel called "Death Battle" where research and analysis is done on various different characters from comic books to popular tv shows and movies, and they put 2 different popular characters together in a fight to the DEATH, to see who would win in a fight. Some time ago, they made a *Deadpool vs The Mask* Death Battle! They also touch base on many facts about the original comic version of the Mask as well, and the animated fight itself is absolutely hilarious and brilliant. I highly recommend that y'all check it out. You would really like Death Battle if you haven't already heard of it! From serious battles, such as *Goku vs Superman;* Funny/Goofy/Silly battles such as *Kirby vs Majin Buu, Deadpool vs The Mask, or The Kool-Aid Man vs Macho Man Randy Savage;* horror themed battles such as *Michael Myers vs Jason Voorhees;* or even outright ridiculous/insane battles such as *Saitama (One Punch Man) vs Popeye the Sailor Man!* Death Battle has it ALL! Would love to see your reactions to some of them! 😃👍🔥

Look at the feather on his hat!” “It’s smooth until he’s smooth” got me 😂

The Cuban Pete scene never fails to make me cry laughing 😂

THAT WAS FUN !!! I haven't seen this in such a long time & watch both of you reacting to this film had me relive watching again for the first time again. Great reaction video you two !!! Keep it going !!! SMOKING !!!!

Asia being increasingly jelly of Cameron Diaz cause BJ won’t shutup bout her🤣💀

I loved your reactions even more than I loved seeing The Mask for the first time back in the day! Seeing your joy and laughter just makes it so much better! Thank you to whoever requested this one and thank you 2 for the reaction (as always)!

One of Jim's first movies was "Earth Girls Are Easy". While he was doing "In Living Color". There's another ILC member too. Have fun kids.

The mechanic shop in the beginning should look quite familiar…. It’s the same building used for the interior shots for Ghostbusters (‘84), it was Ghostbusters HQ..

The Mask's power is Toon Force. Same ability that Bug's Bunny and such have. He can make reality whatever he wants as long as he finds it funny.

I forgot how much I love this movie!!! SMOKIN’!!!! Please watch Ace Ventura!

The dog is a jack Russell. One of the smartest dogs there is.

One of my all time favorite movies from Jim Carrey. One of my favorite of all time

Jack Russell Terriers we're very popular in the 90s. Frasier(Cheers spinoff), Wishbone(kid show on PBS) and Milo being the best character in this movie second to Richard Jeni(RIP, Stanley's coworker at the bank. Very underated comedian and died too early), Milo was the bestest little guy he could be. Great movie, great reaction. 😎❤️ I was lucky enough to have a JRT growing up in the 90s. She was a great dog. We called her Lacey because she would attack my, and my sisters shoelaces when they were untied.

(At 10:10) it's ironic when he's transforms putting on the mask or shapeshifts, he's spinning in a cyclone just like the Tasmanian Devil named "Taz" from the Looney tunes does. Since he's the only one character more recognized in this movie to make a cameo (as a pillow), than the wolf from Tex Avery cartoons, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck, who also appear on this movie.

Another Jim Carrey film you might enjoy is "Me, Myself, and Irene" (2000). The only movie I can think of that is similar to "The Mask" is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" (1988).

Asia, you know that you’re the only one BJ wants. He was just giving props to the dresses Ms Diaz was wearing. That’s all. Nothing more. Jim Carey was great as the Mask. He’s great at playing zany, cartoonish, characters like the Mask, the Grinch, the Riddler. He can actually also play creepy characters too like in the movie The Cableguy. The Truman Show was another good movie of his as well.

Him: "Who's she pointin' at?" Her: "Not'chu!" 😂🤣

My favorite Jim Carrey performance and I still remember being so impressed with Cameron Diaz, it was my first time ever seeing her and she just hit it out of the park! Fun, fun, fun watching you guys react!!👍😁✌

@3:19 is giving Maureen & Phil at the start of Scream 2 😂 “You better loosen up that wrist” 😂

This movie really showed people the incredible (albeit usually zany) talent of Jim Carrey. I first noticed him as one of the original cast members of "In Living Color". A hilarious skit-comedy show from 1990 (which, if you haven't seen it, you should definitely check it out). 'Tina Carlyle' was Cameron Diaz's first acting role. You talk about making your mark in Hollywood. She was talked about after this movie even more than Jim Carrey. The red headed reporter ("Peggy Brandt') was played by Amy Yasbeck. She also played 'Maid Marian' in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (1993). She was also married to another phenomenal talent, John Ritter ("Three's Company" [1976-1984], "Bad Santa" [2003], "Problem Child" [1990], etc) until he sadly past away at age 54 in 2003. The cop 'Lt. Mitch Kellaway' was played by Peter Riegert who was also in another movie that is an all time classic you should try if you haven't already. He played 'Donald "Boon" Schoenstein' in 1978s "National Lampoon's Animal House".

GREAT reaction video, guys! ...the bridge they're standing on at the film's end (where Tina chucks the mask into the river) is the (old) Sixth Street Bridge - an iconic, real-life bridge in L.A. I'm glad it made it into this movie. The bridge was torn down about 4-5 years ago (rotting from the inside, couldn't be saved), but it's been replaced with the NEW Sixth Street Bridge - ten double-rows of concrete arches, across the L.A. river & a lot of other stuff. (You may have seen news reports of it opening to traffic, which it did a few months back). ...The old sixth street bridge has appeared in other films besides THE MASK, but THE MASK is certainly the, or one of the most prominent films to feature it. ...Don't give BJ too much grief for falling for Tina/Cameron Diaz in this film - not only beautiful, and at the time in her life when she was most attractive, but there's something else too: watch the dance scene again, where The Mask woos her in the nightclub, before Dorian's goons break it up: super high-energy dancing from both of them, coupled with a quick set-up/payoff. The setup: his "I'm gonna kiss you now" expression, then her anticipation, then pay-off: a kiss that literally BLOWS HER SHOES OFF! - That's a pretty passionate moment in the history of film: Hard not to fall in love with it!

I used to love the Tex Avery cartoons that came on during tom and jerry this is right out of the pimp wolf cartoon.. If you look closely when he 1st came into his apartment you saw the lamp with the wolf

This was like PG13 Deadpool of the 90s. Unforgettable film!

When I was 11 I begged and begged my parents for a dog and finally they agreed so I bought a Jack Russell and called him Milo after this movie! He looks very similar to Milo in the mask, white with ginger 🥹 he’s 13 years old now and every time I watch this movie I think of my little boy 😊😂
