6. Jim Carrey Did Care
Jim Carrey now wants to distance himself from Colonel Stars and Stripes, boycotting the film due to the excessive gun violence. Ignoring the fact theres little gun violence in the film and none of it is really imitable, him kicking up a fuss, if anything, boosted its box office chances rather than diminishing them; people want to see just what it is hes objecting to. Whats odd is that before Sandy Hook Carrey clearly cared a lot about the film; he actually brought his own props for the role to greater look like the comic book counterpart. What you probably didn't know, however, was that some of the characters most memorable lines were actually adlibs by the actor. Both There's a dog on your balls and I try to have fun. Otherwise, what's the point? were made up by the actor on set, noticeable only for their freshness against the script. These are some reassuring proof that Carrey did, at one point, care about the film. Some people have theorised that the Colonel originally had a much larger role in the film, but was cut after the whole Twitter furore. This would explain his focal presence on the marketing, but I find that a bit too much of a contrived theory.
