Quotes:

  • Jay: Where do you get these wonderful toys?
     
  • Silent Bob: Adventure, excitement... a Jedi craves not these things.
     
  • Shannon: I'm gonna fuck you up beyond repair!
     
  • 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!
     
  • T.S.: How do I do that?
     

Trivia:

  • The book Bob is reading in the bookstore is simply a mockup, as is the display stand - the real book had not come out yet.
     
  • Two main characters named Brodie Bruce and T.S. Quint are a reference to Jaws where there were characters called Brody and Quint and where the shark was nicknamed "Bruce" on the set.
     
  • 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.
     
  • After watching Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, Silent Bob tries performing "Jedi mind tricks".
     
  • "La Fours", the mall security guard, is a reference to "La Force" the bounty hunter after Robert Redford and Paul Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Both characters are noted for their straw hats and being the toughest lawmen around.
     

Credits Fun:

  • Jay and Silent Bob will return in Chasing Amy
