Go To

Sly Eastenegger, a famous action movie star, and his Steven Spielberg-esque director choose Edge City to film his latest movie, and challenges The Mask and Lieutenant Kellaway into a competition over who will be the next action movie star. Meanwhile Peggy discovers a nuclear bomb stolen from the U.S. government that Eastenegger is plotting to use in his latest movie.

Tropes:

  • Jumping on a Grenade: The Mask gets told by Peggy to disarm it but he tells her he does not know how only he always does his best thinking by sitting down which he sits down on it only for the bomb to end up exploding inside The Mask's bottoms which makes it a case of sitting on the grenade instead of jumping on it.
    Mask: Oopsie, must have been all those tacos.
  • Pet the Dog: Despite his hostility The Mask at least consider to break Eastenegger's fall during the bungee jump contest.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Sly Eastenegger confesses he's not a hero but an actor to The Mask who though does not say it is clearly not happy that he decided to say it just as the bomb is going to explode at the moment.
    Sly Eastenegger: It's hopeless. You gotta help me! I'm not a hero, i'm just an actor, you know? Not even classically trained! (The Mask does not smile thinking that sly is an idiot for not admitting it early on)
