Before trying to identify 11 films from the career of the funny lady of the big screen, here are some anecdotes from the filming of Chuck Russell’s comedy.

Originally a comic
At first, The Mask was comical, but very different from the movie: very bloody and gruesome, with jokes to soften the scares. It was a story of revenge, and the dog was not Milo.
dressage
The dog was well trained but only knew the basics. For example, he couldn’t catch a frisbee. But after Jim Carrey had a dog of the same breed and got along well with him, the apprenticeship became shorter.
improvisations
Jim Carrey was hired in part because he knew how to improvise. In the scene where he is disguised as a Frenchman, he had to smoke a cartoon cigarette that burned in one puff. But it didn’t work, so the smoke in the shape of a heart and an arrow stuck in it is improvised… the moment when he kisses the old woman after the song Cuban Pete’s SongIt was also not in the script and surprised everyone.
