FUN FACT: Kevin's daughter, Harley Quinn portrays the infant version of her dad's alter ego Silent Bob!

Until the sequel trilogy, this was the first time Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill were in the same movie together,even though they shared no screen time.

"You're the man, sir" "No, YOU the man and that's the problem" Chris Rock's role in this always cracks me up 😂

The first time I heard the clit commander monologue I just about died choking on my soda. Absolutely one of the most hilarious and pointless rants ever recorded. It's a masterpiece

*Note* I've heavily censored this video, and yet -- KZfaq had it flagged for ads. Since I'd love to be paid for my work I waited for a manual review! And Hallelujah they cleared it. SO sorry for the wait, but I wanted this video cleared for ads since I BUTCHERED it anyway and had to remove all the fun stuff (curse words and such!)

The orangutan, named Susanne, was foretold at the end of Mallrats. It shows Jay and Silent Bob walking down the road with the orangutan.

This and Dogma, are probably hands down, my two favorite films Kevin and Jason have made.

Shannon Elizabeth, who played Justice, was also in American Pie. She was the the one that was on camera on the internet with Jason Biggs' character. It was a blink and you'll miss it moment in this movie but they reference that scene when they run into Jason and James in the dressing room. Jay talks about how he would get with her and his love interest here is played by her. Smith was really all about the references.

As no ones mentioned it , hopefully you caught the after credits bit with God herself (Alanis) closing the book of the Askewniverse for now (not to worry, if you look closely its only halfway through as she closes it). My favorite cameo is Snowball from Clerks (producer Scott Mosier) in the background as Randall and Dante come out of the movie, staring up at the lights and going "Beautiful"

"Ben Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms"

I love how Brodie is still drinking out of a tiny paper cup. Really making it last!

This is easily one of Kevin Smith's best movies. It should be considered essential viewing for everyone.

PURPLE RAIN the Prince movie was referred to multiple times in the movie, especially by the music performance at the end. If you have not seen the movie, it's time. The movie was life changing, similar to Breakfast Club. Both films were impactful on my life in the 80s.

"Hey Kids, It's Mark Hamill! (Applause)" is still my favourite View Askewniverse joke. Kinda even better since he's back in the spotlight again.

This was the apex of Kevin Smith's stuff. After all these years, there are still so many memorable lines from this classic!

I fucking LOVE that you kept in so many of the fourth wall breaks, especially the first one with Ben, Jay, and Kevin.

I remember when this came out in theaters, the bit about the "who would pay to see that"...the theater was all laughing pretty good.The third girl of the crew (Missy) is Kevin Smith's wife

Make sure not to miss Zack and Miri and Smith's most mature Red State. Both are not given enough love.

Gag you missed....Will Farrell's character is named Marshall Willanholly. The 1970s Saturday morning show 'Land of the Lost''s theme song started with the names of the three main characters: "Marshall, Will and Holly...On a routine expedition..."

They weren't different characters, Shanelle. They were still Jay and Silent Bob, they were just Jay and Silent Bob as prophets. But I'm really excited for you because Clerks II is next up to bat. You love Kevin Smith's stuff now, but wait until you get to the period where Seth Rogen gets him smoking the devil's lettuce.

11:10 - apart from Dushku (True Lies / Bring it On / The New Guy) who portrays Sissy, Ali Larter (Final Destination 1&2 / Legally Blonde / Obsessed) portrays Chrissy, and Jennifer Schwalbach - Kevin's wife - portrays Missy.

I forgot how much fun this film is. And it'll never not be awesome that Affleck and Damon continued to appear in Smith's films up to this point. Also, if you enjoy this universe the Clerks: The Animated Series is actually pretty good and well written and worth a watch in your spare time.

I'm so glad you are continuing with the Kevin Smith filmography!

No one talks about this will Ferrell performance because he’s funny in everything he’s in and he’s in a lot of stuff so there’s a lot that gets lost in the shuffle. Kicking and Screaming is an underrated one that’s really funny where he plays a kids soccer coach

I love that they were filming Daredevil fighting ninjas...

Jennifer Schwalbach is Kevin Smith wife & Baby Bob at the start is or was then Baby Harley Quinn Smith their child, Brent was Seann William Scott who was in American Pie as Stiffler. I always give them all a wave when Ben says who would want to watch a Jay & Silent Bob movie as they brake the fourth wall at the camera. "Hi guys we're all here watching"

"Well, it's a funny story..." 🤜🥜 I love Mark Hamill's cameo!

I don't know why, but for the past 22 years, every couple of weeks or so I'll think of Diedrich Bader angrily screaming "You don't have a pass!!!!!!" and I die laughing.

So glad you had fun with this one, its one of my faves and the theater experience with the circle of friends back then was amazing and a truly unforgettable experience :D

8:09 - #RIPGeorgeCarlin (Rufus in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure / Bogus Journey; Cardinal Glick in Dogma; the Architect in Scary Movie 3; Bart Trinké in Jersey Girl; the voices of Zugor in Tarzan II; Fillmore in Cars)

The “Scream” joke is because Jay and Silent Bob make a cameo in Scream 3 which came out before Strike Back did

In my opinion this is the best Kevin Smith movie, the comedy still hits some 20+ years later.

You would absolutely love "dude, where's my car".

Smith's next film "Jersey Girl" has become somewhat of a punchline. But i think it's actually pretty underrated. It's just different. I think it's worth a watch. Especially since watching it, seeing that it's actually better than expected. But still knowing it was kind of a failure at the box office, tells you why his next film is Clerks 2.

While this one is two hours of toilet humor. Clerks 2 has a ton of heart. It’s my sentimental favorite

Also another 'American Pie' cameo.. Eli Marenthal, Stifler's little brother (in 1,2). Played the poster "Magnloia Fan". He was also the voice of Hogarth Hughes in "The Iron Giant".. and that's tons and tons more of in jokes in this film. Also watch to the very very very end for a special cameo... GOD literally closes the book on the Askewniverse (when he thought this would be the final entry).

I love that we get to see the Jones sisters together leaving the movie. Even though we know that they are sisters from dialogue we only see Alyssa Jones in chasing Amy and Trisha Jones in Mallrats before this

I had so much fun with this movie! Went with another Kevin Smith fun, and we had one of the best movie experiences in a while. Thank you for this reaction, I was there with you, and your comments were just on point with ours. I’m here for all your reactions. Smoothie Boochies!

This was a fun movie in the theatre. Kevin Smith’s wife is one of the diamond thieves. If I recall Kevin planned this to be the last movie in the Askewniverse but after Cop Out bombed he went back to his roots.

'The sign on the back of the car' is my all time favourite movie quote.

Kevin Smith originally asked Prince to use one of his songs for the closing credits. Prince declined Kevin instead got Morris Day and the Time to perform

Fun Fact… Will Farrel’s character Marshal Willamholly is named for an old 70’s Saturday morning show called Land of the Lost… the three main characters in that show were Marshall, Will, and Holly

Fun fact: this movie essentially made Afromans career after putting his song into the credits, it is the "because I got high" song. He was a complete unknown before the movie besides a couple songs making it onto Napster..

This was also the first Kevin Smith I saw in theaters because of my age, so that might skew things a bit for me. Very fun watch! Great video!

2:34 - Oh, I got you covered there. I'm now legendary for commenting on your videos. 😁

It certainly morphed my sense of humor at 12 years old, still love it. The bloopers are the best part

Hamil saying "not again" is a reference to Luke losing his hand in Star Wars not a "sequel call back" lol

Not sure how you ended up on my viewing list but I really enjoyed this experience thank you. Your reactions are priceless

This movie finally pays off the credits scene of Mallrats with Jay & Bob walking down the road with the chimp

The line "3 by my count, but close." has wormed its way into my daily lexicon. If my family or friends mess up some minor math problem I always reply with "____ by my count, but close."

The cast has said that this movie was som much fun to shoot that they almost didn’t get it done. Look up the outtakes, Affleck and Damon almost die laughing. Also Jennifer Schwabach-Smith filmed behind the scenes and they turned the footage into a documentary called “ A Lovely Tea Party” which I believe can be found in KZfaq

I was worried that this would be too raunchy and childish for you to love, but im so happy you did! I love this movie, absolute classic fun!

Patsy is someone that gets conned into participating that gets set up to take the fall, lol i always have fun with this movie

The pizza delivery guy who delivered to the ladies was Joe Quesada, editor and chief, artist, and also had other high up executive positions at Marvel comics. He was also the artist on Kevin Smith's 8 issue story arc on Daredevil. Kevin wrote the comic for awhile, but had trouble meeting the deadlines.

"Who are we going to get for a celebrity cameo?" "Everyone!!!"

9:04 Yes, that is Carrie Fisher. I hadn't seen this movie in so long that I forgot she was in it.

I swear Jason Mewes was breaking character and laughing when he said "I rub my nose"

bro i knew Carlin sounded exactly like someone in this scene but I couldn't place it. thank you! 😂it was absolutely Danny Devito

“I’m looking for [references]” you’re in the right place. The whole film is just one massive callback

Will's horrified scream at 29:53 was one of the funniest parts of the movie🤣🤣🤣

24:03 In case you didn't know, this is because it's Kevin Smith who did bring the scenario of "Good Will Hunting" to Miramax Studios.

This is definitely a fun movie. You mention that you never saw "The Fugitive". Please do so when you get a chance, you will be on the edge of your seat the whole time..

Jennifer Schwalbach is also known as Mrs. Kevin Smith.

It was a real thrilling movie, completely different from KS's other films. By the way, his wife was the one with the pigtails. He transitioned from Dogma's "tell don't show" approach to this one, which was all about "show don't tell." This change was made possible by a significantly larger budget. Unlike Dogma, where everyone worked on SAG scale and had to deal with tight scheduling, this movie had the luxury of planning ahead for a smooth shooting process. The setups were simple, typically using two or three cameras capturing a 50mm spherical frame. The lighting was evenly distributed with softer bounced lighting, creating minimal shadows or harsh lights. Directed light sources were used to enhance the scenes. This is how you shoot films with a bigger budget, focusing on concise dialogue and short, impactful scenes to maintain the movie's momentum. Instead of lengthy dialogue scenes where characters talk incessantly for 20 minutes, this film employed classic rapid setups and payoffs in mere 10 seconds of film time. For example: "c'mon Silent Bob, we're going to Hollywood." HARD-CUT, BUS STATION, DAY, CONTINUOUS Jay and Silent Bob quickly board and then disembark from a bus. "Hey, didn't we used to take that bus to school for free every day?" HARD-CUT, THE ROAD, DAY, CONTINUOUS Jay and Silent Bob stick out their thumbs, attempting to hitch a ride. These rapid scenes efficiently convey information, whereas in Dogma, there was a drawn-out bus ride scene discussing infidelity in relationships that lasted for ten minutes, ending with the angel of death shooting a sinner in the head. From a storytelling perspective, the script didn't change the beginning or end of the scene. The angels were still on their way to the church, and nothing significant impacted that outcome. This scene was included purely because the writer (Smith) wanted a low-budget scene, with the producer being the only other actor while extras received $150 per diem. As a result, many scenes were overwritten, when a simpler action scene could have conveyed the same information in a more engaging manner. Movies should not be mere talking photographs. However, when your budget is limited, you have no other option. This movie had the necessary budget, and I believe it wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable with a smaller budget.

For people who can't get enough of this movie, the book Silent Bob Speaks by Kevin Smith goes into a lot of detail about the casting process for this film, it is a fascinating read(if somewhat colored by time and the Weinstein connection, which adds a whole new layer to some stories that wasn't evident to the masses at that time)

13:35 - Hey no apologies necessary. And yeah, if not clever at the very least interesting. Also: yeah, definitely Jay's brain. 🤣

AWESOME. I forgot how perfectly goofy this ones is. Great laugh!

The red-head in the movie is Kevin Smith's wife, Jennifer. :)

27:55 - In fact, if you look closely at the backgrounds you can see one of your sisters as an extra. Oh and one uncle. No really! Scout's honor! 😁

Fun facts I learned. They had to point out who Mark Hamill was because test audiences didn't recognize him. Lucas Film actually helped them out with the sound of the 'light' sabers. In Carrie Fisher's contract, they couldn't make any reference to Princess Leia or her being Star Wars.

Loving your View Askewniverse reactions! keep up the good work!

@2:58 Joe Walsh, you know that's gonna fuck up any kid. Cranking that tune repeatedly in my dads 76 corvette while sitting in the driveway, did me wonders. Ha! Self discovery, what a fucking ride!

After a shitty end to a 14 hour day at work, and the past few days or weeks all my favorite reactors have been uploading all these weak movies. So I thank you for the upload and choice of a great movie!

Hilarious movie even funnier with your laugh and giggle. LOL A "patsy" is a fall guy, someone else to place blame on or to use, in this case also a decoy.

Intros are getting better. Super proud of you.

Some people were in other movies. The hitchhiker talking about the Book was in Jersey Girl.The nun was in Star Wars. BooBoo KittyFuck was in American Pie. Seann William Scott was also in Southland Tales. The Orangutan was in Mallrats. The Nubian comic book writer was in Dogma as a gang leaser. Dogma commented on Judd Nelson and the Breakfast Club. Judd Nelson shows up in a later movie as a sheriff. Joey Adams shows up with her sister Trish the Dish. This was described as Dogma without the religion. This was ruined when like every other halfway decent movie it was remade in the uninspired Jay and Silent Bob Reboot which is about what happened to the angel Loki from Dogma.

FINALLY, someone reacts to this movie!

So far the only channel to react to this movie it’s been a child hood favorite of mine and I couldn’t be happier to see others react to it

As a heads up Shanelle the rest of Kevin's movies you're gonna want to bring tissues for. You're also going to love the direction his movies take from here

Another step closer to Clerks 3! Looking forward to that one the most

Great fun reaction, this was the move to re-watch with friends

Brent has been in many films, including "Dude, Where's My Car?", "The Rundown", and "Evolution".

I'm STILL catching references in this movie. Watching your reaction, I just realized the facility they free Suzanne from is called "Provasic", which is the drug from the movie "The Fugitive". Then they end up in the dam, like the scene in that movie as well (which I knew was a Fugitive reference already, but I just realized the "Provasic" part).

Jennifer Schwalbach (the 4th jewel thief who WASN'T Justice, Ali Larter, or Eliza Dushku) is Kevin Smith's real life wife. Harley Quinn Smith, Kevin and Jen's daughter, plays baby Silent Bob at the start of the movie.

Dogma is my favourite Smith movie, but this one is definitely second. Snoochie Boochies! 👍✌❤ Also, even with the troubles, you're still first to get this one out (that I've noticed), and you did it the right way (watching them in order). You rock, Shannelle. 🤘

Kevin Smith done an homage to his favourite TV show from back in the day 'Land of the Lost', where the main characters' names are Marshal, Will and Holly. So he named Will Ferrell's character Marshal Willenholly. and then I guess life imitating art, Will Ferrell ended up starring in the movie Land of the Lost.

I agree, this film is one of my favorites by Kevin Smith. However, it's only up there because I've seen all his previous movies. So I get all of the references. All of the cameos and throwbacks to his previous films. There's actually even more cameos than you realize if you look close enough. Also, Shanelle. You have an amazing smile. And I love your reaction videos when you watch a fun movie, because you smile a lot more during them.

Saw this in the theater back in the summer of 2001 pre 9/11. Fun movie to watch with an audience. Fun watching it again with you. ☺️

This was actually the very first Kevin Smith movie I ever saw, in theaters when I was in high school. I thought it was hilarious and as a big Star Wars (and film in general) fan I certainly got a lot of the references, but there were also tons of things that were clearly references to the previous Kevin Smith movies that I didn't get. It inspired me to go rent all of them (on VHS, why yes I am a dinosaur), which of course led to be becoming a huge Kevin Smith fan. Great reaction as always!

Clerks 3 made me cry, Jay and silent Bob reboot made me cry

Those were legit Star Wars sound effects. They mixed the movie at Skywalker Ranch, and Kevin Smith married Jennifer Schwalbach on the property during post production.

In 2009 I gave my husband a guitar for Christmas. Since this movie was on in the background (brother in law was tired of the Christmas Story marathon) hubby named his guitar 'Boo-boo Kitty Fuck' or Boo-boo for short.

Really good, interesting reaction! I've got a soft spot for this film flaws-and-all because it was my first Kevin Smith, but feel like it's not generally regarded as one of his best. Was cool to see you proper enjoy it!

Kevin Smith DVDs have a million hours of extras. My favourite of all time is from this film, from the scene where Jay shouts “hey baby, you ever had your asshole licked by a fat man wearing an overcoat?” He forgets the line, so the script girl, who’s on the other side of the street looks at the script and then rushes across the road giggling “I am *not* shouting *that* out in public”.

I don't know if it's ever been said, but I've always felt the freeze-frame ending felt like a nod to the ending of Cheech and Chong's Still Smokin'

Not sure if it was mentioned in the trivia but Jennifer Schwalback (the other jewel thief) is Kevin Smith's wife. There's really only three more movies in the ViewAskewniverse- Clerks 2, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and Clerks 3. Smith's other movies (which are a very mixed bag) are not connected to them. That said, of those films, I highly recommend Jersey Girl (which came out after this) and Zack & Miri Make A Porno.

Glad you enjoyed this one, wait till you get to clerks 2 though 😁 my personal favourite.

George Lucas would not sue Kevin Smith since skywalker ranch is were Kevin Smith did the sound editing for dogma, Jay and silent Bob strike back and clerks 2, Kevin Smith also got married at skywalker ranch.

Shannon Elizabeth was the Hollywood “It Girl” for about eight seconds after her performance in American Pie.

38:18 - Well good thing you got us to suggest you add The Fugitive to the list last friday! 😃😉
