25 Things You Didn't Know About The Mask

22. Carrey Only Wears The Iconic Yellow Suit For 5 Minutes

When you think of The Mask, you almost definitely conjure up an image of Jim Carrey kitted out in that iconic bright yellow suit, right?

It was a striking look and featured extensively in all of the movie's marketing...despite the fact that he actually only wears the suit in the movie for barely five whole minutes.

That's right: we only see Stanley in his fancy bright duds for five minutes of screen time in the Coco Bongo scene mid-way through the film. You'd be forgiven for assuming he wore the suit for much longer than that, though, so the marketing dollars were clearly incredibly well spent.

Given how popular the costume is for Halloween and fancy dress parties in general, that's a pretty impressive level of cultural penetration.
