  • Research reports Carrey’s improvised talking-backside routine, bird-inspired movement and deliberately divisive performance; Robin Williams is a comparison for improvisational range.
  • Shadyac’s filmography, Cox’s reported animal fear and the Letterman-inspired pet-detective premise are discussed as production research.
  • Research reports Cox refusing to rewatch the film and Pete Stoyanovich doubling the kick; his later playoff miss prompts a joking curse and comparisons with real missed kicks.
  • Late research notes fruit arranged as a visual clue on Einhorn’s desk and an Ace business card packaged with a VHS edition.
