An iconic movie prop from the 1990s is set to go under the hammer. The mechanical rhinoceros, famously featured in the 1995 film "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls," will be auctioned by Propstore.
This impressive prop is recognized for its role in a memorable scene where Jim Carrey's character, Ace Ventura, escapes through the animal's backside. It is anticipated to sell for an estimated $4,000 to $8,000.
The mechanical rhino measures over 10 feet in length and is equipped with hydraulic hinges, a foam tail, and a padded interior chair. Notably, it features a removable latex backside, replicating the film's distinctive exit. A prop fan from the movie is also included.
Constructed from fiberglass with Styrofoam legs, the safari animal prop offers a lighter alternative to its real-life counterpart. "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" achieved significant box office success, grossing over $212 million, and this particular scene has been cemented in pop culture history as a comedic highlight of the decade.
