This scene is so renowned for its obvious and cringe-worthy transphobia that even Jake Peralta from 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' comments in a 2016 episode: 'Classic film, one of my childhood favorites, and it only gets overtly transphobic at the very end, so, a win.'Ĭarrey himself did actually comment on this scene, and said that he wanted his whole character to be 'unreal and over the top.' After Ventura learns of this revelation, he heads to the bathroom and retches continuously. In the movie, Carrey's Ventura kisses Lois Einhorn, who later turns out to be Ray Finkle - revealing Lois as a trans woman.
But the movie has recently been labelled as transphobic, and for good reason. 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective' helped to make Jim Carrey the star he is now, with the film displaying his signature zany comedic style.
'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective' was directed by Tom Shadyac.
