Story Synopsis:
The just-as-wacky sequel to “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” finds Ace (Carrey), the animal sleuth with the gravity-defying hair and the sanity-defying attitude, jumping into the most challenging case of his career. His latest caper draws him, and his monkey companion, Spike, to the jungle wilds of Africa. Ace’s mission: to find Shikaka, a kidnapped sacred white bat. Although he loves every living creature, his least favorite in the animal kingdom is the flying rodent. He cannot fail, however... the result would be tribal war.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 2.35:1 picture exhibits excellent image quality, with vivid colors and natural fleshtones. Images are sharp and detailed, except for a slight plugged-up quality. There are no artifacts or noise.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack’s expansive orchestral score has excellent depth and sounstage imaging. Stereo soundstage directionality is also excellent and there is always subtle or aggressive surround envelopment.
