Brave Miami Dolphin in Ace Venture: Pet Detective

  Ace Venture: Pet Detective (1994) has always been a great comedy to me as it had the Miami Dolphins in it and most of it was filmed in Miami. I am of course from Miami. It also is one of the first movies I heard of the use of Transgenders. But the thing is that Transgenders are shown in a negative light. The villain is one. Anyway, there is a sequence that features Ace looking at the Dolphins, to check which player has a missing stone in a  ring to find the person who stole the pet dolphin. 

 So in the sequence he is in the bathroom in a stall next to a Miami Dolphin and then the player thinks he is looking at his penis. Jut when we think Ace will get beat up, the player ends up to be interested and chases after him, alluding that he was gay.

 So I think that player was Jeff Uhlenhake. If indeed was an ACTUAL Miami Dolphin and not some actor, then that was EXTREMELY brave of him to do so because some people might think it would ruin his reputation. And plus that this was 18 years ago. Times were different. Maybe these days, no player would do it.

Pink non-girl toys in Boy Franchises

Pink is usually considered a female color and I am not going into my whole debate over the color pink. But it should be noted that as late as the 1950's, it was still considered a "boy" color. Pink was seen as a shade of red, which relates to manly concepts like blood and war. Blue was associated with the Virgin Mary and was seen as a more serene color reserved for girls (in fact, the traditional colour for wedding dresses used to be blue before Queen Victoria popularized the white dress; all that remained of that is the line calling for "something blue" in the rhyme). Early in WWI, the French Army uniform included bright pink trousers. This was changed when the leaders realized it made them easy targets. Pink has become more of a girl color thanks to industrial merchandising and Barbie adopting the color. I wanted to highlight some characters in Boy Franchises that were NOT girls that wore pink.

 

 Hot Rod

He was introduced as Optimus Prime's replacement in the Transformers movie. Before final production, Hot Rod was originally cast in a pinker plastic to match the color of his animation model, but oddly, he was changed to a less animation-accurate red before release. This change evidently came too late to modify the factory-applied stickers the toy bears: the small decals on either side of Hot Rod's vehicle mode feature a pink background that would have matched the toy's original color scheme.

Skids and Mudflap

In the sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, these two 'male' Transformers became a pink and white Ice Cream Truck. They later changed their form.

Fangry and other Decepticons
G1 Decepticons were pink such as Fangry, Spinster and Carnivac.

 

Hot Wheels and Monster Jam

There has been many many pink Hot Wheels through the years and only one pictured above is a Barbie car. Another is a Batmobile. Four are Monster Jam trucks: Madusa, Eradicator, Scarlet Bandit, and Heart Breaker.

Bret Hart

The most famous wrestler in Pink Spandex, he said he picked the color to intimidate his competitors.

Gambit
The X-Men superhero had pink torso and accents and his kinetic energy was pink.

 Nimrod

 Speaking of Marvel and X-Men, Nimrod was an all-pink deadly villain.

Kamen Rider Decade

Kamen Rider is also known as Masked Rider. For the 10th anniversary of the revival in 2009, they made a 'magenta' rider. Fans refused to agree he was pink. Most of the Riders of the decade were Red and most of the first ones were green. He and Kamen Rider Raia are the only 'pink' ones.

Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt in Looper

I'm not buying the prosthetic or eye contacts on Joseph Gordon Levitt to be a younger Bruce Willis in the film Looper (2012). JGL said that he originally wanted to play the older version of himself but the director didn't let him. I found a pic of Bruce in 1986 at 31 years old, the same age as JGL is right now but doesn't look anything like what they made JGL look like in Looper. It is like people have been saying, that we know what BW looked like in 1986 and also, JGL is relatively well-known now and BW is soooo well known, it is hard to connect the two. In the last pic, I used Morphthing.com to morph two pics of the two actors at the same age to see what it would look like.

Unseen Sitcom Characters

I loved where in sitcom, there was the characters you could not see. Sometimes they eventually gave the character an actor but some purposefully never showed their face. Sometimes they had a voice and other times no voice.

Maris Crane from Frasier
Maris Crane is Niles Crane's wife for the majority of the show Frasier until he divorces her. Though she is never fully seen onscreen (much like Norm Peterson's wife, Vera, on Cheers), she is the most notable of the show's never-seen characters, and often the subject of many jokes. Maris makes only two onscreen "appearances": "Voyage of the Damned" when her shadow is seen through a shower curtain, and in "Rooms with a View", where she appears in Niles' memory, almost completely covered by bandages after surgery. When David Hyde Pierce guest starred on the Simpsons, the writers wanted him to call a character 'Maris' but the Frasier writers didn't approve so it was changed to Bart covering his eyes and him asking if he was Maris. I liked this, Simpsons writers did not understand this. I liked both shows and followed both.

Vera Peterson from Cheers

Norm has a wife named Vera who is often mentioned but her face is never seen. When she is finally shown, her face is covered in pie thrown by Diane (season 5, episode 9 Thanksgiving Orphans), and the actress is uncredited. The only other times she is seen, viewers can see only her legs and at one time her waving from a car which drives past cheers on her and Norm's 15th wedding anniversary. Vera is the brunt of many of Norm's jokes, but on many occasions, Norm has professed secretly an undying love for his wife, or defended her honor. 

 Dick from Cybill

 Maryann Thorpe– Cybill's best friend had am unfaithful ex-husband, celebrity plastic surgeon Richard Thorpe (an infrequently and never fully seen character, to whom she always refers to with a sneer as "Doctor Dick"). Sometimes we did see the back of his head. I think a couple times we heard him speak. 

Stanley Walker from Will and Grace

Her husband, Stanley Walker, is described as an extremely wealthy and overweight man with some unusual sexual tastes, who gives a lot of business to Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. Although Karen often insults Stan and implies she married him for his money, the truth is she was hopelessly devoted and in love with Stan. Sometimes we saw his feet or the back of his head. I am not sure if we heard his voice.

Mrs. Wolowitz from Big Bang Theory

She is voiced by Carol Ann Susi. Howard's overbearing Jewish mother, she is never seen on-screen but her deep voice is heard when he is at their house or when he talks to her on the phone. She talks to Howard always by yelling at him from another room, which results in awkward conversations with Howard yelling back at her. 

 Dorothy's Brother Phil on Golden Girls

Dorothy has a cross-dressing brother named Phil who has many kids and lives poor and always asking for money from Sophia. We never see him but he does die and we do meet his wife. He is often a running joke.

Jerry's cousin Jeffery in Seinfeld

Jerry's horse-faced cousin, about whom Uncle Leo always raves. Jeffrey once got Jerry tickets to a Paul Simon concert, and a glasses-less George once claimed to see Jeffrey kissing Jerry's girlfriend in the street (it turned out to be a policewoman patting a horse). The back of Cousin Jeffrey's head can be seen in the deleted scenes for the policewoman/horse episode on the season DVD.

Elizabeth in Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad

In this tokusatsu series produced by DiC in response to Power Rangers and used footage from Japanese series Gridman. Elizabeth was the little sister of the main character who we never saw. Her voice was played by Kath Soucie.

Child Versions of Popular Characters

 Muppet Babies

The first of these, inspired by a sequence in the movie Muppets in Manhattan. It aired from September 15, 1984 to November 2, 1991 on CBS and was extremely popular. The series is arguably one of the best and many fans wanted it on DVD but because the show used copyrighted movies and clips, it makes it difficult. Some episodes have been released. They took seven characters from The Muppet Show, added Skeeter as Skooter's sister to have another female. Other Muppets would appear from time to time like Dr. Bunsen, Beaker, Janice, Bean Bunny, Stalter and Waldof.

 Flintstones Kids

It aired from 1986 to 1988 on ABC, and was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. It was sort of popular and spun off Captain Caveman. I liked watching it. Unlike Muppet Babies, it didn't really have educational basis. Before Pebbles and Bam-Bam, Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty were school mates. Fred somehow owned baby Dino.

 

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo

This show ran for three seasons from 1988 to 1991, funny enough it premiered after Flintstones Kids ended. Following the show's first season, much of Hanna-Barbera's production staff, including Tom Ruegger, left the studio, and helped to revive the Warner Bros. Animation studio, beginning with Tiny Toon Adventures. Tom Ruegger's style used in this series carried on to the first season of Tiny Toons.

 Yo Yogi!

 Yo Yogi! is an animated series first aired on NBC on Saturday mornings during the 1991-92 season. Taking place in Jellystone Town, it features Yogi Bear and the other popular Hanna-Barbera characters including Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, Yogi's own sidekick, Boo-Boo Bear and Yogi's Girlfriend, Cindy Bear depicted as 14-year-old adolescent children and were crime fighters. This series was not successful, only lasted a year.

 Disney Babies

Even though there has been no series, there has been no cartoon series with this. It has been an merchandise line since the late 80's. I am not sure which date but it has spawn off into Baby Winnie the Pooh and Baby Princesses. Disney Babies have had storylines in books where they are all in the same house similar to Muppet Babies.

 Tom & Jerry Kids Show

The show premiered in 1990 and continued airing until 1994 on Fox Kids. The series is about the adventures of Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse in their childhood and their friends Droopy and Dripple and Spike and Tyke. The series is somewhat similar to the "older" version of the original 114 H-B theatricals, partly akin to being produced by Tom and Jerry creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. In terms of violence level, they are far closer to the classic cartoons than previous television adaptions such as The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show although somewhat milder than Hanna and Barbera's original series.

 Jungle Cubs

 Jungle Cubs is an animated series produced by Disney for ABC in 1996. It was based on their 1967 feature film The Jungle Book, but set in the youth of the animal characters. The show was a hit, running for two seasons in syndication before moving its re-runs to the Disney Channel. I liked this one too. Jungle Cubs suggested that when they were younger, both the good and evil animals lived together in relative peace.

 

James Bond Jr

James Bond Jr. is described as the nephew of Ian Fleming’s masterspy James Bond. The name “James Bond Junior” was first used in 1967 for an unsuccessful spinoff novel. In this animated series, the character defeats threats to the safety of the free world. Produced by Murakami-Wolf-Swenson and United Artists Corporation, debuted on September 30, 1991 and a total of 65 half-hour episodes were produced syndicated. It lasted one year.

 

Baby Looney Tunes

The idea of baby Looney Tunes is rather older than the actual series. There was a lot of merchandise before the series aired. The show premiered on WB stations usually before or after the Kids' WB! block on September 7, 2002 and continued to air on Cartoon Network until 2006. The show is similar to Muppet Babies, with the main characters taken care of by Granny.
