Corrected entry: At the beginning when the slinky is going down the large flight of stairs, you can clearly see that the stairs level off at certain points, making it impossible for the slinky to continue moving all the way down.

Correction: Not necessarily a mistake. Ace could have continued it once it stopped and start the count again from where he stopped.

Corrected entry: On the plane trip to the consulate, the stewardess offers peanuts. After that, you see he is eating sunflower seeds.

Correction: Ace brings his own sunflower seeds on the plane.

Corrected entry: On the plane to Africa, the stewardess asks Ace if he wants peanuts but he winds up eating sunflower seeds or something of that nature because he spits the shells out on the man's arm.

Correction: As seen in the first film, he carries them around with him all the time - probably why he refused the peanuts.

Correction: One may ask why, but that's a question, not a mistake.

Corrected entry: While Ace is inside the rhino, he completely strips himself, except for his watch. This watch magically vanishes when he crawls out. He could've taken it off during the cut, but there is no point in doing that. Also the ray of light shines horizontally through the opening, which is near impossible during daytime. (00:42:20)

Correction: The watch easily could have come off while he was "struggling" to get out of the rhino. It was a tight squeeze.

Corrected entry: When Ace is escaping from the robotic rhino, he has just managed to get his arms out, but in the next shot his arms are back inside the rhino again and only his face is sticking out.

Andreas Winnberg

Correction: The shot changes from Ace inside the rhino to the family on the safari truck. Ace was trying to get out, and would have had plenty of time in those few short seconds to pull his arms back in and try and push his face through.

Scrappy

Corrected entry: There's a scene where Ace is poking himself in the eye to make the other guy squeamish. If you look careful in the next shot where Ace shouts "spill it." you can just about see that his eye is all red and bloodshot - he must have poked his eye a bit more than he meant to.

Correction: That isn't really trivia. It is plain to see.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Ace confronts the Chancellor about the stolen bat at the end of the movie, the Chancellor is playing chess with himself. When the camera angles switch, the chess pieces disappear. You can hear the chess pieces clattering to the floor after Ace makes a broad sweep of the arm in the shot before, but they then reappear in their starting positions.

Correction: The pieces only disappear once and never reappear. You cannot hear them hit the floor even though Ace does make a sweeping motion. They never appear on the floor, either.

Corrected entry: Why use an Asian elephant in a movie based entirely in Africa?

Correction: The gentleman from the consulate is a collector of rare animals. There is no reason he could not have one there, and it is the only elephant we see.

Jazetopher

Corrected entry: When Ace removes the apple core from a tribe member, it is quite clear that the head is a rubber head.

Correction: You can see the tribe member blinks when he hits his elbow. This is real.

Continuity mistake: When Ace is solving the case in front of the guy that hired him, the guy is playing chess with no-one at all. Then Ace takes big steps towards him, moves a piece, then when the camera cuts back to the guy playing chess, all the chess pieces are gone, no sign of them whatsoever. Then they reappear later.

More quotes from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

Trivia: While filming the movie "Dumb And Dumber Too", Jim Carrey admitted to Jeff Daniels that he hated making this movie because he found it an offensive depiction of the native people, and he never understood why Ace, who was a lover of all animals, was afraid of bats. Jim Carrey even suggested that instead of Ace being afraid of bats, that he should be allergic to them.

Question: Why did Ace punch out the Monopoly guy? Is there a reason why he did such a thing?

Trainman

Answer: The woman told him to try and "enjoy the fruits of nature", meaning wearing an animal as a piece of clothing. So he punches the monopoly guy out cold and puts him over his shoulder to try out wearing an animal.
