Song played in the Coco Bongo

I take it upthe batty Do anyone happen to know what is the name of the song played in the Coco Bongo when the Mask "rocks the joint"? 89.139.206.201 07:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Hey Pachuco". It's listed in the article under Soundtrack.--Geoduck 17:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

this is the only J. Carrey's movie who is one of the best movies of all time...without this role he would be an ordinary actor and not a superstar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.173.242 (talk) 16:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Fallon (writer)

Just a hunch, but I'm suspecting that Michael Fallon probably wasn't a writer. At least not the Minister of Parliament that the link points to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.119.9.143 (talk) 20:00, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dick Tracy

How come there's no mention of the movie and/or character of Dick Tracy in the entire article, when the Mask is shown on the poster unmistakably wearing the trademark Dick tracy yellow hat and suit??? Someone should at least note somewhere that the yellow suit is straight from Dick Tracy, I'm sure it doesn't fall under original research to do so.. For educational purposes to movie fans, if nothing else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.38.155.71 (talk) 23:48, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ironically, the Mask only wears the yellow zoot-suit once in the movie. 207.216.208.68 (talk) 01:15, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Smokin

How is it possible that this article at no point mentions the word "smokin'"? I'm not sure where it would be put in, but, come on, that's the most famous word in the movie. 71.77.52.3 (talk) 05:31, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Dorian Tyrell and Niko for deletion

I have nominated the above two for deletion because I think they are not significant enough to have their own articles. See the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dorian Tyrell (3nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Niko (The Mask). Input is appreciated. Cheers, theFace 17:38, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative ending

All but one of the votes have been 'delete', so I assume the two articles I mentioned above will not pass. Apart from cruft, Dorian Tyrell and Niko (The Mask) both contain (or contained) two almost identical paragraphs about a scrapped Mask cartoon episode. I have merged that information into The Mask: The Animated Series, see here. Furthermore, Dorian Tyrell contained at least one more useful thing: a paragraph (albeit unsourced) about an alternative ending for the The Mask movie. I don't know exactly what to do with it, but I'll save it from deletion by copy-pasting it here:

====Early Draft Death====
In the early draft of the film, Dorian Tyrell's death occurs differently. Instead of being flushed down the drain by Loki Ipkiss' powers, Dorian Loki Tyrell actually attacks the Coco Bongo in the middle of the night. After killing Niko and his gangsters, Tyrell allows the innocent customers and his men to evacuate the casino before the bomb explodes. However, before the explosion, the sun rises and shines on Tyrell. Due to Loki being a Norse Night God, the mask pops off Tyrell's face returning him to his original form. Unable to escape the casino in time, Tyrell is killed when the bomb explodes.

I wonder where this info came from. Cheers, theFace 18:01, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"The Mask 2" announcement and contest

Apparently when The Mask's sequel was first announced (before it got canned), contests were held to be an extra in the movie, or to be present during filming. The article already mentions such a contest being held by Nintendo power, but I could swear I remember another such contest being held and advertised on TV; most likely by Cartoon Network. Does anyone else remember this, and can they verify that it wasn't just a figment of my imagination? --H Hog (talk) 00:39, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Can't make the scene if you don't have the green

Can't make the scene if you don't have the green does not satisfy WP:GNG notability guidelines. Wikipedia is not a dictionary (slang, pop culture, urban or otherwise), the phrase has no significance outside of the movie (no matter who's said it in real life) and this phrase should, if kept at all, be redirected to The Mask (film) with {{R from phrase}} or {{R from quotation}}, which would likely be the end result of any AFD discussion. --Animalparty-- (talk) 01:20, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I support merge, not redirect. Jonas Vinther • (speak to me!) 12:27, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think defining the phrase or the context it's used in adds any value to an encyclopedia, and falls under trivia. --Animalparty-- (talk) 14:32, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
--Animalparty--, since no one else seems to be eager to participate in the discussion, I suggest we should just go ahead and merge. Jonas Vinther • (speak to me!) 22:21, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, I've redirected it: however, there is no content supported by reliable sources to justify unique discussion about the phrase itself. See Identifying reliable sources. This source is just some guys talking about movies. This source is anonymous users on a forum, which is not reliable per WP:USERGENERATED. IMDB Quotes is similarly a user-generated source, and only establishes that the quote exists (watching the film itself does this), but there is no evidence that the phrase itself has received substantial coverage from decent sources, and until such sources are found to justify inclusion it is simply trivia fluff that is better left to fan sites. All the best, and thanks for helping make Wikipedia better. --Animalparty-- (talk) 23:21, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To the article's defense, there is a [Quotations from film and television] category on Wikipedia. I personally haven't heard this phrase used too often, but then again, I'm not much of a partygoer. I suppose I'm 'late to the party' on this decision, but for the merit of there being a category on WP to accommodate the article to begin with, this one might've held some value in keeping. --H Hog (talk) 11:22, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
