![]() In Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Jay pulled down his pants to "prove" that he didn't have marijuana during his arrest, so his pants-dropping during the arrest this time is an encore.ġ0. ![]() Randal, played by Jeff Anderson, did not return for this film but will be back in Clerks 3.ĩ. During Dante's arrest, he offers to "give up" Randal Graves. "One Adam-12," which the police radio out while they roll up to the Quick Stop, is a reference to the TV series Adam-12, one of the earliest police procedurals to be a big hit on the small screen.Ĩ. The joke, of course, is that each cigarette is a nail in the smoker's coffin.ħ. The "Nails" brand cigarettes sign in the poster frame next to RST is a brand of smokes that have been around at least since Dogma. ![]() ![]() It was created by the movie's set design team, and while it looks nearly flawless, the giveaway is that if you compare the surrounding environment in this movie to Clerks or Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back you'll see that it doesn't match at all.Ħ. The stores used in Jay & Silent Bob Reboot are not the actual locations in Jersey this is actually a scale replica of the block of stores. In-universe, RST stayed open a lot longer than it did in real life, but now both are closed, with an entrepreneur now working to revive the store.ĥ. The Cock Smoker sign hangs over the RST Video sign. Cock Smoker, Jay's fake chicken sandwich stand, derives its name from an insult that has been common in the View Askewniverse since Clerks, when Jay uttered the phrase "cock-smokin' clerk."Ĥ. This is the same way Clerks and Clerks 2 opened.ģ. The film opens as Dante's crappy old car pulls up to the Quick Stop. You don't know it at first, but pretty much all of these characters, including the black-and-white versions of the characters from CLERKS, will show up in the movie.Ģ. Vulgar the Clown, the View Askew mascot, is trampled by a crush of characters from all of the View Askewniverse movies during the logo fanfare. So.if we saw it at a Fathom Events screening like a month ago, why did it take us so long to finally put together a list of Easter eggs? Well, we had notes but it took a while to elaborate on them all and clean them up into something mostly readable. In addition to BenAffleck, Joey Lauren Adams, and a dozen or so other View Askew veterans, the film is jam-packed full of Hollywood stars including David Dastmalchian, Jason Lee, Joe Manganiello, Craig Robinson, Justin Long, Shannon Elizabeth, Fred Armisen, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Chris Hemsworth, Method Man, Redman, Jason Biggs, James Van Der Beek, Brian Quinn, and Tommy Chong. We certainly didn't count everything we thought was probably an Easter egg, and none of this counts recurring characters, who are basically just part of the fabric of the View Askewniverse as much as they are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so they aren't really "Easter eggs" so much as just characters. There are a lot of Easter eggs in this movie, and we probably didn't get them all. The filmmaker, who has been telling stories with the characters of Jay and Silent Bob since 1994's Clerks, used the latest movie - his first one in the shared universe of Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, and Clerks II in a decade - to remind fans what it was they loved about those other movies. That's Kevin Smith's recently-released Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, currently on a "Reboot roadshow" tour around America and coming soon to a city near you. What kind of movie has a runtime of around 100 minutes and almost 200 Easter eggs, references, and in-jokes? Well, the kind of movie that is a parody of reboots, sequels, and remakes, while being kinda/sorta all three.
