Brodie: Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent--I don't care which one--but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!
[to T.S.] Brodie: You're gonna listen to me? To something I said? Hasn't it become abundantly clear during the tenure of our friendship that I don't know shit?
Jay: Where do you get these wonderful toys?
Shannon: I'm gonna fuck you up beyond repair!
Trivia:
Originally, William Atherton was Kevin Smith's first choice to play Jared Svenning. Atherton choose not to do it because the film was aimed at a teenaged audience.
Brodie is a comic book collector, there is a comic book store in the mall, comic book creator Stan Lee appears in the movie, Brodie and T.S. discuss Superman's sex life.
During the Batman homage as Jay & Bob escape from La Fours, the belting attached to Kevin Smith slipped. The crane refused to start (someone had shut it off), and the key could not be located, nearly resulting in a possibly lethal fall.
This is the second film in Kevin Smith's intricately interconnected View Askewniverse series (the others being Clerks., Chasing Amy, Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back). The movies are all linked by characters, themes and events and each contains numerous references to the others.
The person laughing during the Gramercy title sequence is a cellist in Ira Newborn's orchestra.
Credits Fun:
Jay and Silent Bob will return in Chasing Amy
Thanks to Mom and Dad for having sex all those years ago
