Unofficial Netflix discussion, and all things Netflix related! (Mods are not Netflix employees, but employees occasionally post here).
I’m not even 20 minutes into the movie and I’ve already noticed a scene that was cut out of the movie.
When Ace is investigating Snowflake’s tank and the reporters show up, he starts talking to them in a German accent and pretends he’s the dolphin’s trainer or something if I remember right. It was never my favorite scene of the movie or anything, but it’s definitely been removed from the movie for God knows what reason.

That scene is not in the US release. It was added as bonus footage in a vhs release at the time, but removed again when released on blu ray, which would be the cut Netflix has. They didn’t edit anything.
So, it wasn’t in theaters, was added on VHS and then removed again for Blu Ray? What the hell would be the reasoning for removing it?
Who can say. Probably a dented scene. Lots of “x rated cuts” or whatever do this.
What does “dented scene” mean?
Scenes that didn’t make it into the final cut for whatever reason. They were features on dvd and blu ray releases before those started getting scaled back. I’m pretty sure “bonus footage you can’t see in theaters!” type video releases are marketing gimmicks, but you’d have to ask the director or studios to know for sure.
Might just be because they didn't like that much the scene and think it's bring nothing to the movie.
I saw the movie as a kid, like 1000 times, and that scene was in it. It wasn't bonus footage.
Ace Ventura: [with a German accent] How can I be getting zis vork done wit all de shouting? Control de shouting?
Reporter: Who's That?
Ace Ventura: Heinz Getwellvet. I am trainer of dolphins. You want to talk to de dolphin, you talk to me.
Reporter: What happened to the regular trainer?
Ace Ventura: Vat happened to him? Vat happened to me? Seven years I am wit Siegfried.
[he holds up only four fingers]
Ace Ventura: Ve are making de dolphins disappear, und den Roy is coming wit de vite tiger und ze shtuffing in de pants und den I'm gone.
Reporter: [skeptically] Where is Snowflake?
Ace Ventura: Why do you care about Snowflake? Do you know him? Does he call you at home?
[shouts]
Ace Ventura: Do you have a dorsal fin? To train ze dolphin you must zink like ze dolphin! You must be getting inside ze dolphin's head. I am saying to Snowflake, "Akay!... Akay Akay Akay?" und he is saying "AKay Akay!" und he is up on ze tail "Eeeeeeeeee!" und you can quote him!
[Ace spits]
Roger Podacter: Alright, it's almost time for Coach Shula's press confrence, uh, lets let Heinz do his work?
Ace Ventura: [shooing reporters] Go to de conference, go to it.
I think the line after “does he call you at home?” Is “DO YOU HAVE A DORSAL FIN!”
I just searched this after I noticed the same thing. My Childhood! It’s getting deleted! Just like Disney+ removing the Michael Jackson Simpson’s episode!

Just watched it and thought I was nuts missing that part. Definitely hilarious too bad it was cut.
