Relax dude, you are still a puppy...if you were old you'd be like me; the first time I saw it they looked like kids and today they still look like kids.
2:52 the way he looks behind himself and softly says “that kid” before repeating louder... it makes the line so much funnier. It’s like he has to gather himself and make sure he is really seeing what he’s seeing. It’s a great comedic instinct from an underrated actor.
@@TonyGonzales yeah, his acting is on a higher level compared most of the actors in the movie (at least at the time), to the point of being distracting.
@@TonyGonzales best part is that it was it was his first role with spoken lines that wasn't background or ensemble. He did 0 movies before this and was only in a couple of music videos. TS was supposed to be the main character but they liked Jason Lee so much they made him the focus of the film. Legendary performance in an underperforming movie. Even the critics that panned the movie said Lee was the saving grace.
Jesus. I haven't watched this since the early 2000s when I was a teenager. It was still a semi-current movie then. It's insane seeing this now. The culture has changed so much since then, my God...
1 hour wait ? Back in 95?! For Stan Lee to sign your comics ?!! Today it's like a whole day just to get his signature in comic con ! Lol (had to wait 2 hours in line cuz he was doing photo ops in the morning )
I wasted my opportunity to wait 15 mins for him to sign his autobio at SDCC like ten years ago. And Leonard Nimoy didn't even have a line They were hiding lol
As someone who lived through it, I can truly say that most people didn't give two shits about comic books in the mid 90s. We were out in the wilderness.
I cant believe i wasnt horrified by the whole Trish thing back in the 90s when i saw this movie. Someone call child protective services for this 15 year old girl please
THANKFULLY the actress was 20. It was clearly written for shock value as the most decent characters find the whole situation repulsive and the biggest jackhole in the movie gets busted for having sex with her and goes to prison.
She admitted to filming sleeping with a 25 year old and based on her research the plan was to record herself sleeping with dudes up till the age of 34 which is fuked up
i remember listening on the commentary and kevin smith said the casting for trish came down to this girl in the scene and jennifer love hewitt and they went with this girl.
Loved this movie when I saw it 30 years ago and love it to this day. As a comic collector I got a lot of shit from my peers, Brodie was my hero after seeing Mallrats. He showed me even though a dude collects comics he could still start some shit! lol
Love this movie, and Kevin Smith as an entertainer. But the inclusion of this character is bizarre, even for Smith standards. He wrote a comic book called Chasing Dogma where we find out Silent Bob sleeps with her as well. This combined with his frequent portrayal of perverts in his films (Reboot), and middle aged men with teenagers (Clerks II), It just doesn’t age well at all.
Kevin is the product of the working-class culture of the 80s, which was very "macho" in most places - certainly in New Jersey. From the same period there are plenty of "sexually experienced female teenager" tropes, e.g. Trainspotting. Mainstream culture has definitely changed in the field of adolescent sex, it's treated less casually, but that doesn't make a pervert out of every man who ever wrote a related joke before 2005.
What publishing company would give money to a minor to perform and publish a first hand account of sexual encounters with men ranging from 15-40? It’s only after not watching this clip in like 15 years do I realize how creepy and sick it is.
The finale of this movie involves the police being alerted to a video tape showing child abuse. Somehow this only leads to the arrest of Ben Affleck’s character and not a full scale investigation into Trish’s parents, the publisher, and every guy in the book.
Many, many years ago, I had had to fly to Minneapolis for training. One evening, I drove to Eden Prairie to see the mall. I called my friend back home, who was a huge Kevin Smith fan, and said, "I'm on the escalator!" I, of course, then had to go to the food court and claim that the cookie place wasn't part of it. Loved expensing that one to the company.
Jason Lee made quite some acting progress between this movie and ‘Dogma.’ His ‘Mallrats’ line reading is arguably sub-Jason Mewes. But his ‘Evil is an abstract’ deleted scene is sublime.
When I was a kid I totally got my shoestring caught in the escalator fucking around. Then they called my name over the intercom, but I had told them a fake name. This is when I was four. I told them my name was Suge The Fireman. They said that name over the intercom and mom knew it was me. Lmao. My name isn't even Suge. At all...
My mother has taken me and my little brother to the movies. When we were riding down the escalator my mother had told me to tie my shoes repeatedly. I didn't listen and my shoelace got caught at the bottom. I was terrified I was going to get pulled in, screaming my head off until a theater attendant managed to pull the shoelace hard enough for it to snap. After that I always made sure my shoes were tied and respected the escalator.
I came here to watch this clip after I witnessed a kid just like that sitting on the escalator while his or her mother was deep into the fucking phone. Lucky the kid made it, but yes respect that fucking escalator I've seen clips of people die on them on the internet.
@@zandithshloper2005 jokes are subjective you pedophile,if you find humor in a child being molested then that says a lot about you and that you should stay away from kids.
I don't think is bad tho, it's just a fun movie about fucking dorks. Charming, semi gross dorks. It's basically Detroit Rock City for geeks. I enjoy both these movies, even tho they are kinda bad, but in a good way
People were upset about it then you dumbass people don't realize that social media only gave an immediate widespread public platform to complain also if you don't see anything wrong with that character and what they had her doing then please report to your local police station
"I'm having a hard time with this. Do your parents know about this?" - so clearly, it's false to say that no one bats an eye. Secondly, it's humour Maybe not a type of joke that would be accepted today but still
Damn I'm getting old. When I first saw this, these guys were a lot older than me. Now they look like kids to me.
Relax dude, you are still a puppy...if you were old you'd be like me; the first time I saw it they looked like kids and today they still look like kids.
So tru

He really is the best part of the main cast.
Agreed. He's been an underrated element in so many great films. "Almost Famous" and "Vanilla Sky" for example
Yep. Whereas the actor playing TS is awful. Look at his body language when Brody is talking throughout the movie.

"You guys think just because a guys reads comics he can't start some shit?!" is one of my favorite line ever.

Malls certainly have since they film came out.
Malls have really changed. I find it sad though cuz I think we should have malls and online shopping maybe we'll realize this one day.
@@winecrimesfoodandtime7119 Malls are unsafe because the "Amish" have flash mobs, start fights and cause violence and vandalism.

I love how aggressively he slapped that note book outta her hands lol

Well she more of a whole than Alyssa

that line is seriously the best part of this movie
I always put
"THAT KID IS BACK ON THE ESCALATOR AGAIN"

Yes, back then people didn’t pretend they liked comic book characters as a replacement to a personality. People actually had lives back then.
"SOMEBODY GET A MEDIC! THERE'S A LITTLE BOY CAUGHT IN THE ESCALATOR!"
Why did I cheer when that was said? 4:19
“I hope his pants get caught and a blood bath ensues”
“Don’t get me wrong I don’t wish the kid harm”
He was saying it loudly so the mother would have the realization that her kid could get hurt, and to scare the kid into standing.
@@KrutchesRDH it’s still funny lol
Awesome movie hand's down takes me back to the 90s hell yeah 🤘🤘🤘
That damn kid is back on the damn escalator again! DAMN IT!
RIP Stan lee
I had this on VHS as a teen. This movie was a game changer for me…. I still love it. 🥰
The 90s nostalgia is crazy
Syndrome should have listened to Brody about loose clothing getting caught in machinery.
I love how offended everyone is by the fact that Brodie and T.s have no shopping agenda.
The "women want romance!" Line is still Kevin Smith's funniest bit
That line IS true!
No they want to record data about a bunch of random dudes they slept with, apparently.
That kid is back on the escalator again!
Leave it alone!
What?
I cant believe i wasnt horrified by the whole Trish thing back in the 90s when i saw this movie. Someone call child protective services for this 15 year old girl please
Like what the actual fuck did I just hear
ya and Brodie is actively asking her to fuck him in this lol, he is even petting her awkwardly when he walks up to her
THANKFULLY the actress was 20. It was clearly written for shock value as the most decent characters find the whole situation repulsive and the biggest jackhole in the movie gets busted for having sex with her and goes to prison.
And that's why we can't have great movies like this anymore. Someone takes it serious and gets offended.
@@tonymontecino9761 don't get triggered son it's just a comment on the internet
RIP Stan Lee. This has always been my favorite cameo of yours.
Wow, I never realized as a kid how creepy it is that Brodie asks a fifteen-year-old girl if she's offering for her "research." Yikes.
She admitted to filming sleeping with a 25 year old and based on her research the plan was to record herself sleeping with dudes up till the age of 34 which is fuked up
They're both in high school, high school kids fuck, get over it.

@@christoff124 Creepiest reply ever.
"Be fair, Everyone wants Mr Toads Wild Ride!"
Just met a guy who got caught on the escalator as a child. Needless to say, I sent him this video
There are many bad-bad-not-good elements in this movie. Of the good stuff Jason Lee's characters obsession with escalator safety takes the cake.
It's a very hit and miss movie when it comes to the jokes but still entertaining for the most part.
Trish's knee socks are the real stars of this scene.
@Destroy all Soy the actress was 20 at the time so no harm no foul.
She’s playing 15 year old! FREAK!

Uh I’d say that would be a concern if she actually looked like it but that is clearly a grown ass woman playing her 💀

“That kid is back on the escalator again!”
the kid in the escalator is now old enough to have a kid..in the escalator
Crazy how fast time flew
The kids no longer old enough for Casey Affleck
Tell'em, Steve Dave!
Brodie would’ve never ever not known about Stan Lee signing comics.
“You’re Fucking Next!” that cracked me up lol

Everytime I see a kid on an escalator, everybody hears about it. It's been 30 years and I don't think I will stop...
jason lee reminds me so much of liam gallagher in this
It's weird seeing how lively the mall is and all the stores in the background. I miss the malls of the 90s.
I cant believe I used to love this movie

An old guy died in my local mall
riding the escalator he fell, you need to respect that escalator.
Until I moved to San Diego County almost 9 & 1/2 years ago, I thought comoc book stores inside malls ONLY existed in Mallrats. I was wrong.
that's criminal lol
Trish the Dish is 15?! Did NOT remember this detail. No way they make that character 15 if they make the movie in 2024

I got injured on a escalater when I was 7 years old I was sitting then the iron scratche my back I'm not kidding it hurt alot
My grandma said she once saw a boy wearing cowboy boots get the toe caught in the escalator and he started screaming.
