Plot

Timid bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss discovers a magical mask infused with the spirit of the Norse god Loki. Donning it transforms him into an unrestrained, green-faced, cartoon-like wild man.

Sinekatalog’s take

A cartoonish comedy in which a meek clerk gets a magical alter ego, built entirely around rubber-limbed physical gags and eye-popping effects. The plot is simple, but the manic energy is infectious. Dated in places, yet still a lot of loud fun.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
