It was only black and white because of financial restrictions, and no other reason…as Kevin Smith has admitted this. He’s also admitted he only came up with the convenience store camera theory after a reporter posed it as a theory
They throw out that Silent Bob as an Instagram. Silent Bob expressing himself on social media would have been a great viral marketing ploy leading up to the release.
I'm dealing with a lot of loss in my life and I never expected Clerks 3 to reach me on such an emotional level. I'm eternally grateful to Kevin Smith and his crew of friends. I really do miss Scott Mosier and seeing him so briefly was nice.
he is pure generosity. having cracked the fortress with Clerks 1, he's breaking it down so that we all can gain the courage to create our own......what a love. & what an artist! disclaimer: I am insanely grateful to him.
Right, and Linklater influenced Kevin to make a film. I actually grew up the same time that Kevin did, and I am in the film industry. Now ANYONE can make a film, edit it themselves, and put it on TH-cam, where Producers WILL see it. My friend Sean, after decades as a successful filmmaker, shot a feature on his Iphone, with real working actors, and won awards for it. When I started, you would have to buy expensive film and developing because video was cold looking and very different from what even a phone can do today, Then we had to edit it by hand on a flatbed with glue and tape (No Digital then), and then once you had the film, the only way that you could get it seen , was to lug a projector into a producers office and run it for them. Can you imagine what it feels like to have started then, comparing to what we have now?
Yep, I turned 37 last Fall, and I was waiting for that day to come so I could post a picture of Dante on my social media with the caption "I'm 37???" 😆
Gotta love that little reference to Jay and Silent Bob's own duology. At first I wondered if this movie was even supposed to take place after J&SB Reboot since Jay's daughter is not with him, but she does make a cameo at the end so it all checks out.
@@bigmike- please my virgin friend tell me which movies i should like even if it's all just my opinion and i didn't asked you shit, let me know the finest movies
Wow.... you have ridiculously bad taste. Clerks 3 was terrible. Extremely lazy writing. 2 heart attacks in one movie shows Kevin is creatively bankrupt. Dante death was completely unnecessary and just dumb.
Loving the meta nods on how the first movie came to be: from the decision of having the movie being shot in black and white to the mentions of Jay and Silent Bob appearing more than any character in the View Askewniverse. And they have to bring up 37 again!?
Aside from Kevin Smith's humor, I'm actually quite impressed that with movies like Clerks 2, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, and Clerks 3, Kevin Smith is actually not afraid to be serious & dramatic at times and it quite shows.
Weren't Jay and Silent Bob technically 'Rich', after their settlement with the makers of the "Bluntman and Chronic" movie? I guess they put that money into their Marijuana business, huh? 😅
Another reason to shoot their movie black and white could have been for the same reason “Young Frankenstein” was shot blank and white, so that the time period wouldn’t be mistaken for the modern times.
It was Dante’s mom, which was going to be played by Kevs mom. There was a cut joke where Dante walks past the motorcycle and gets in his car and his mom gets on the motorcycle right after
if you uploaded this kind of quality clip of the moobys scene from this movie, where jay and bob dance with the workers to the rap song. that'd be cool
Im lost of words of the real reason why the first was in black and white i thought it was like a low budget reason or to make it stand out by not doing the norm thing so people would recognize the film for example someone would say did you see clerks they would say i dont remember and they would say that movie thats in black and white but that concept of the movie being seen through security cameras or repersents the characters just made me love the movie even more kevin smith is a great director
That's great and all, seeing him make another Clerks. And his dialogue has usually been pretty good. But I'm still not giving him a pass for his bait and switch with He-man. That was a major dick move
whats with jason's teeth? are they real or dentures? also i love how kevin uses his real life into his movies and basically explains why the original movie was in black and white.
he just poked fun at the convoluted theories as to why the original movie was black and white. It was the cheapest way to make a movie as you had to pay for the actual film itself and it was running out, something people, who grew up in '00s when digital cameras and flash storage happened, will not suspect.
Randall: (to Dante) The guy (Silent Bob) never speaks at all. 1:05 By the way, doesn't Randall remember hearing Silent Bob speaking back in Clerks 2 (2006) ?
we finally get a perfect explanation for clerks black and white origins.
It was only black and white because of financial restrictions, and no other reason…as Kevin Smith has admitted this. He’s also admitted he only came up with the convenience store camera theory after a reporter posed it as a theory
Watch the behind the scenes of ks movies. Hes parodying them too
@@BudFuddlacker every once in a while the universe has a fun way of making things line up
I heard the first clerks movie was on a shoestring budget and it was also a college project
Yeah idk what you’re talking about it’s been well known that it was because of budget and not an artistic choice.
Jay saying "the colors are fucking ugly" made me bust out laughing
Oh did it
When Sillent Bob speaks, you listen.
Glad they acknowledged that Jay and Bob were a part of films since they had their lives made into a film
clerks 2 also made a reference to that. since they had the money to give randel and dante from the bluntman and chronic movie.
They throw out that Silent Bob as an Instagram.
Silent Bob expressing himself on social media would have been a great viral marketing ploy leading up to the release.
as a new jersey native.. this was like the most new jersey movie ive ever seen in my life. i loved it.

Stay strong, one day at a time
You're complimenting the wrong movie,this film sucks.
Same, dude. I hope you're doing better.
This was the best fucking gag in the movie to me cause I noticed in the cutaway to Jay and Bob: "Is that a fucking light level detector in his hand?"
he is pure generosity. having cracked the fortress with Clerks 1, he's breaking it down so that we all can gain the courage to create our own......what a love. & what an artist! disclaimer: I am insanely grateful to him.

Loved Kevin Smith stuff back in the day... not so much nowadays... still love the guy and all he accomplished. He's a sweetheart.
He was cool until the Master of the Universe fiasco
@@nour2146 oh get over it, it's freaking he man
I remember turning 37. It’s all I said all year long. “37!?”
“In a row!?”
I'm 35 and I'm stealing this in 2024.
Yep, I turned 37 last Fall, and I was waiting for that day to come so I could post a picture of Dante on my social media with the caption "I'm 37???" 😆
Jay and Silent Bob aged like fine wine, Dante and Randall aged like milk.
Randall aged meh, but dante def aged poorly
@@kerdnerl I'd say the reverse, tbh
😂😂😂 Can I use this?
I cant with Jason’s teeth in this film
Because they were younger and damn u thiught i only noticed that
why the hell didnt i know they made a 3rd one?!?!?!?!?! Damned hollywood...
Gotta love that little reference to Jay and Silent Bob's own duology.

I don't care what people say this was one of the best movies of the year
That's a lie, and you are wrong.
@@bigmike- please my virgin friend tell me which movies i should like even if it's all just my opinion and i didn't asked you shit, let me know the finest movies
People who have done nothing with their lives love to shite on Kevin. But he doesn't let it get to him and I admire that.
Wow.... you have ridiculously bad taste. Clerks 3 was terrible. Extremely lazy writing. 2 heart attacks in one movie shows Kevin is creatively bankrupt. Dante death was completely unnecessary and just dumb.
I agree with them this movie sucks.
Great Movie! I definitely have the Blu-ray!
Loving the meta nods on how the first movie came to be: from the decision of having the movie being shot in black and white to the mentions of Jay and Silent Bob appearing more than any character in the View Askewniverse.
And they have to bring up 37 again!?
Why? Just watch the first movie. Wouldn't a original story that isn't winking at the camera going.....heeey remember Clerks?! Be better..
In row?
Aside from Kevin Smith's humor, I'm actually quite impressed that with movies like Clerks 2, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, and Clerks 3, Kevin Smith is actually not afraid to be serious & dramatic at times and it quite shows.
One of the few highlights of this movie
You tell ‘em Kevin 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mind Blown
Silent Bob has to be one of the most wise characters in movies and TV.
Actually they been on a movie set 3 times. Scream 3, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.
I loved this part 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 He finally put all the critics’ interpretations in the movies.
Tell ya what..i disagree with Kevin smith on his politics, but i love his movies. It’s possible to do both
That's not something special. This is America.
@@davedanger4414 i agree, read between the lines, bud
@@jaward51 So, it was a pointless comment. Congrats.
@@davedanger4414 or maybe you’re just special 🤷🏻♂️
@@jaward51 Not really special. Politics just ain't my main personality trait.
I still want to know who owned the motorcycle that was parked at Dante’s Mothers house at the beginning of the original Clerks.
It was Dante’s mom, which was going to be played by Kevs mom. There was a cut joke where Dante walks past the motorcycle and gets in his car and his mom gets on the motorcycle right after
Your mother
Oh Kevin had fun with this!
He did create the View Askewniverse, one of the greatest cinematic universes 😎
“movie set twice”. Refers to Strike Back and Scream 3.
if you uploaded this kind of quality clip of the moobys scene from this movie, where jay and bob dance with the workers to the rap song. that'd be cool
Kevin smith reminding us keving smiths made clerks for the 40084950683958th time
Im lost of words of the real reason why the first was in black and white i thought it was like a low budget reason or to make it stand out by not doing the norm thing so people would recognize the film for example someone would say did you see clerks they would say i dont remember and they would say that movie thats in black and white but that concept of the movie being seen through security cameras or repersents the characters just made me love the movie even more kevin smith is a great director
I really wished I liked this movie. I never got my wish.
The backwoods in the back 🤣🤣
They look like warmed over death.
This scene was pretty funny
I'm not gonna s**t on this movie completely because some of the Jay & Silent Bob bits made me chuckle.
Silent Bobs got nothing on Kevin Smith.
Just because he looks like him doesn't mean he knows how to shoot a movie.
Anyone here notice the Leonardo Leonardo pin on Jay’s hat lmao
Heck yes 🤘😎🇺🇲
1:05😂
That's great and all, seeing him make another Clerks. And his dialogue has usually been pretty good. But I'm still not giving him a pass for his bait and switch with He-man. That was a major dick move
Jays teeth a throwing me off.
Ok I liked that.
Randall = Jay
Dante = Silent Bob
whats with jason's teeth? are they real or dentures?

It was so many years ago, how could he remember?
J's teeth look so weird with the color grading here ironically.
Hahahahaha that was fucking awesome
1:05 to 1:41 Silent Bob’s speech
Pretentious BS
@@jacks910
What do you mean?
@@zekecasperanddeadpoolzgroovyst Bob’s (Kevin’s) speech, came off as super pretentious.
I miss fat Kev
I agree lol, was a better filmmaker.
Where the fuck has Silent Bob been hanging out? Slab City?
Coming from an “Artist” who hasn’t been worth a gram of salt since clerks 2!
Meanwhile the cinematography is even a step back from Clerks II. Maybe Smith should stick to podcasting
All those people look OLD
Tooting your own horn the movie
Exactly
Nothing sadder than old stoners trying to be relevant.....was my favorite franchise
I really wish I could get into Kevin smith movies but I feel like I can’t.
Oh shut up. The 3rd movie was really fun
Ikr!
@@BOBINDUN nope cringe...i liked all his stuff ...but he is just pretentious now
Dam Kevin Smith phoned it in
In the end I didn't like this movie, but it has some very good scenes like this one.
Holy shit, look at how sad this is.
Almost walked out of clerks movie in the theater, thought the whole movie was going to be black and white
That's a dumb reason to walk out.
I mean who cares?
@@aNightmaresRequiem pay $20x2 for a black and white movie no ty
@@ReefMimic brainlet.
@@ReefMimic $20? dude, back in 1994 a movie ticket didn't cost more than $5, come on... xD
I didnt like the film. Felt rushed and lazy.
Really feels like that heart attack robbed Kev of his ability to see life through a normal perspective.
The “I’m a filmmaker” “that’s what an artist thinks” was so pretentious. Is Bob even a filmmaker in canon?
Wtf is up with silent bob making expressions n shit
He's Silent most of the time. how else is gonna communicate without something to write?
@@marlondasilva9192 more like Expression Bob amirite??
