The Los Angeles-based plaintiffs contend that use of the Jim Carrey clips 'serve to enhance the commercial value' of 'Tiger King.'
"Leaving no room for doubt as to the source, a dubbed-over voice identifies one such movie as Ace Ventura, at the precise time when the Infringing Clips appear on screen," the federal court complaint reads.
"Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereupon alleges, that Ace Ventura is the only film used in Tiger King where more than one clip appears." The two clips, totaling five seconds of screen time, feature"Ace Ventura" star Jim Carrey in scenes with an elephant and a monkey, according to the suit, which seeks damages of at least $300,000.
The Los Angeles-based plaintiffs contend that use of the Carrey clips"serve to enhance the commercial value" of"Tiger King" by falsely suggesting that the makers of"Ace Ventura 2" are favorably promoting the Netflix series. Attempts to reach representatives for Netflix and Goode Films outside of regular business hours were not immediately successful.
