Technically? There’s animal hoarding and none of the animals in the film should be in the habitats they’re in. It’s played off as not harmful. In real life these animals would all kill each other and or be extremely stressed. Any owner who does anything like this is extremely irresponsible. Also, wild animals aren’t pets, dogs shouldn’t be unsupervised around small rodents and birds, and lizards need some form of basking. :)

No, but it is worth mentioning that Ace catches a fired bullet in his teeth at one point. However, his teeth are not damaged in any way, and it's played for comedy.

The fall isn't shown, but the body is shown in a body bag without any trace of blood, gore or bruising. The subject is discussed first in the scene where the body is found, and then in the very next scene it's the subject of interest for everyone involved in the scene as to how he fell. The body isn't shown after the only scene it is in.

A trans woman is the main villain and her sleeping with Ace Ventura is portrayed as predatory. She’s also sexually assaulted and outed by the protagonist in a way that’s glamorized and portrayed as the right thing to do.

It would be hard to argue with the whole "laces out" thing that Einhorn isn't a bit mentally ill. And i'm pretty sure that attempted murder counts as violence.

When a character is revealed to be transgender, all other characters in the film react with revulsion and disgust, and constantly misgender the character.

There is an implication of oral sex happening off screen while the protagonist acts like nobody's ever touched his peen before. It's played for comedy and isn't at all erotic, and doesn't last very long.
