An iconic movie moment from the ’90s is hitting the auction block … it’s the mechanical rhinoceros that gave birth to Ace Ventura in a Jim Carrey sequel.
Yes, the butt birth rhino from “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls” is up for grabs over at Propstore’s upcoming auction … with the movie prop expected to fetch between $4,000 and $8,000.
It’s the same rhino from the movie scenes where Ace is inside spying on some bad guys … before escaping through the rhino’s butt in a comedic exit.
The rhino measures in at more 10 feet long from tip to tail … and it’s got hydraulic hinges, a foam tail, padded interior chair, and a removable latex backside … like the one Ace was birthed from.
Plus, the rhino has the same prop fan from the movie … IYKYK.
The mechanical safari animal is made from fiberglass, and the legs are hard-coated Styrofoam … so it seems easier to transport than a real rhino.
“Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls” was a box office hit, raking in over $212 million … but it was also part of pop culture, with the rhino scene widely regarded as one of the funniest movie moments in the 1990s.
The auction starts March 27 … all righty then.
