'''''Ace Ventura''''' is a comedy movie series starring [[Jim Carrey]]. The first film was 1994's ''Ace Ventura, Pet Detective'', and it's the movie that catapulted Carrey into A-list fame when it became a surprise hit. It was followed by a sequel, 1995's ''Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls'', and an [[Animated Adaptation]].
The entire gimmick of Ace Ventura is that he's a modern-day [[Sherlock Holmes]]... mixed with [[Tarzan]] and [[Doctor Dolittle]]. Using these "skills", Ace becomes a Pet Detective, finding and saving animals. In the first movie he appears as nothing more than a local nut helping people find their lost cats and whatnot, but being the only Pet Detective in the area (and possibly existence), he gets roped into a high-profile investigation. Possibly due to this, he's become pretty well known in the second movie, where he is hired to recover a sacred bat stolen from two African tribes before war erupts between them.

* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: In the literal sense. ''[[The Crying Game]]'' was mercilessly parodied in the second half of the first film.
