One of the most memorable scenes in ’90s cinematic history was when a mechanical rhino gave birth to Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Well, now that Rhino is up for sale on Propstore.
The auctioneer describes it as: “While shots of Ventura inside his mechanized rhino were completed on a soundstage, this full-size example measuring more than 10 feet from tip-to-tail was built solely for exterior shots of the giant mammal. It originates from Planet Hollywood. Constructed from fiberglass with hard-coated styrofoam legs, the rhino features a removable latex sheet backside, a foam latex tail, a door hatch with hydraulic hinges on one side, and additional hydraulic poles, a padded chair, a control dashboard, and a fan on the interior, much of which would have required removal for any shots in which Carrey appeared. The latex sheet is believed to have been swapped between takes, while the fan turns on when powered.”
The mechanical mom is expected to go for between $4,000 to $8,000 on March 25th, and you can bid it on here.
It is just one of the props from the movie that is up for auction. You can see the rest here.

Jim Carrey said he retired from acting after he made Sonic the Hedgehog 2. However, he was in the third movie.
Why did he come out of retirement so quickly? He explained to the Associated Press, “I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch. And, you know, it’s just, I bought a lot of stuff, and I need the money, frankly.”
You can’t get more real than that. You can see him play a fake genius in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 starting on December 2oth.
I don’t think I ever mentioned this before, but Carrey was the first actor I ever saw in Hollywood who has “It.” I didn’t get his appeal until I interviewed him, and then I was like, I get it. Before he even spoke, I could see his presence.
Before we saw Jim Carrey doing impressions on In Living Color, he was doing them in Copper Mountain. How talented was the 21-year-old in that 1983 movie?
Before Jim Carrey was the guest that every late night host wanted, he made his US television debut on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. How much did you love the facial impressions that he made when he was 21 years old in that 1983 episode?
Ace Ventura was a funny movie. However, the sequel was not. It was the first movie that I kept watching to see if it could get any worse, and it did, time and time again.
Therefore, I thought they buried the franchise in a bunch of elephant crap, but I guess the flies ate up what was ever covering it. That is because Park Circus, who works with Morgan Creek, is reporting that they are working on a third film.
“We’re pretty excited about our franchise developments with Exorcist and the Ace Ventura franchise,” the team of Morgan Creek said. “Its noticeable from the 3 million fans chatting on the official Facebook page for Ace Ventura that audiences are clamouring for a 3rd instalment… During COVID, audiences have been in love and are thrilled to have beloved characters brought back with new stories.”
The new story would be told by the writers from the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which I was very disappointed with, that starred Jim Carrey. There is no word if he would return to the play role, but you cannot do it without him. Plus, he desperately needs a hit.
Would you go see it? I would rather see a new Exorcist movie with Linda Blair reprising her role. Hint, hint, Morgan Creek.
