Jim Carrey returns as Ace, this time looking for the Great White Bat in Africa. The sequel is even better than the first one. The opening spoof of Cliffhanger is inspired and the scene where a mechanical rhino “gives birth” to Ace is a grossout laugh riot. Once you see Carrey passed through a rhino’s orifice, you won’t be the same. This was an even bigger hit than the original. With Bob Gunton and Tommy Davidson. Two days into filming, director Tom (Celtic Pride) DeCerchio was fired and replaced by Steve Oedekerk.
