The finale of the Viewaskewniverse series of movies finishes with a bong, er, uh, bang. Not even close to the best of the series, but definately a fun trip. Kev rips on everything and everyone with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. I will admit that this film is NOT for everyone, but if you enjoyed the previous films you should enjoy this one as well.
Quotes:
[Silent Bob attempts to get his point across with pantomime.] Jay: Why don't you just say it? Silent Bob: [grabbing Jay by the collar] The sign on the back of the car said "Critters Of Hollywood", you dumb f**k! Jay: [mutters] Say it, don't spray it.
Jay: Yo lunchbox, hurry it up!
Jay: Affleck, you the bomb in Phantoms. Yo!
Banky: You know what? I feel for you boys, I really do, but Miramax - you know, Miramax Films - paid me a s**tload of money for Bluntman and Chronic. So it occurs to me that people badmouthing you on some website is none of my f**king concern. Silent Bob: Oh, but I think it is... We had a deal with you, on the comics remember, for likeness rights, and as we're not only the artistic basis, but also obviously the character basis, for your intellectual property, Bluntman and Chronic. When said property was optioned by Miramax Films, you were legally obliged to secure our permission to transfer the concept to another medium. As you failed to do that, Banky, you are in breach of the original contract, ergo you find yourself in a very actionable position. Jay: Yeah.
Holden: If the buzz is any indicator, that movie's gonna make some huge bank. Jay: What buzz? Holden: The Internet buzz. Jay: What the f**k is the Internet?!
Trivia:
The phrase "Fuck Jay and Silent Bob. Fuck them up their stupid asses" has gotten so popular that it is used in just about every talkback on Ain't It Cool News (Such as "Fuck Osama bin Laden. Fuck him up his stupid ass.")
Numerous references to Star Wars and its sequels throughout the film including, of course, the title.
When the van thought (by Jay) to contain Justice blows up, the music in the background says (in a Latin chant-style) "Justice is dead... or so Jay thinks."
This is the fifth and final film in Kevin Smith's intricately interconnected View Askewniverse series (the first four being Clerks., Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma). The movies are all linked by characters, themes and events and each contains numerous references to the others.
Credits Fun:
Credit for Malcom Ingram as a "Mewes Wrangler"
Like Smith's other films, this one closes with a snippet of Jay's dialogue
Instead of "Jay and Silent Bob Will Return In...", it now reads, "Jay and Silent Bob have left the building." There is then a clip of Jay saying "Snoogans".
After the credits, That Woman (God) closes the book on the View Askewniverse and prances away
No animals were harmed during the making of this film, but some internet snipers got their asses handed to them.

Anybody who uses the insults contained in this film on any gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or heterosexual person --real, percieved or imaginary-- is a total dumbass!
Near the end of the credits, it says: How's our driving? Tell us at www.viewaskew.com.
