Trivia

In the scrapbook of Ventura history, the last page shows articles cut from a newspaper, two of the articles read: 'DOLPHIN CASE CLOSED: Ventura Finds Snowflake' and 'VENTURA SOLVES THE GREAT FISH CAPER'. These are references to the first Ace Ventura movie where Ace finds the dolphin mascot; Snowflake.

Quotes

[first lines]
Ace Ventura Jr: I've got you now. That's it, my little misunderstood friend. Nibble the powdery cinnamon bliss. No, your path ends in death. You have been saved. No charge. This is certainly an ironic situation with an apex predator there and me over here holding this little guy at the bottom of the food chain and all. Hey, Mom. Look what I found.

User Reviews

Not Alrightey Then

This movie is to be avoided if you like the other Ace Ventura Movies, heck avoid it if you liked the cartoon. This movie is almost painful to watch. The kid is a terrible choice for the role being as how he did not look anything like Jim Carrey. The humor also is not on par with the other 2 movies and this movie misleads consumers to capabilities of iPods. This movie should be titled as "Ace Ventura wouldn't come anywhere near this script with a 100 foot pole cause it just stinks that much". I couldn't even make it through the whole thing since Knight Rider was on opposite of it when I was watching it and I chose that show to watch instead.
