What no one knows yet is that Sly and the Director had a stolen U.S. nuclear bomb used as one of the props. This was part of a revenge plot against the critics that made a bad review of his last movie. The Mask kept interfering in Eastenagger's film as he wants to be a star in it, but the Director and Eastenegger refuses due to his wacky and hyperactive nature showing no place in an action film. To get him to leave the film alone, Eastenegger went against the Mask in a Last Action Hero contest with Sly rigging Mask's attempts. When it came to the movie's final scene, Peggy managed to warn Mask and Lt. Kellaway that the bomb is real. Sly returns to stop the bomb, but doesn't know how to and cowardly begs the Mask to disarm it. The Mask manages to disarm the bomb by sitting on it and Sly Eastenegger is arrested by Lt. Kellaway. The former action star was given an atomic wedgie from The Mask when being interviewed by Peggy Brandt before heading to prison.
