Memorable Movie Quotes
Elias: [Elias is wasted] I hope that donkey doesn't have a heinie troll!
Sexy Stud: Hey. Fucko. We like to call it inter-species erotica.
Randal Graves: That look was so gay, I thought Sam was gonna tell the little Hobbits to go for a walk so he could saunter over to Frodo and suck his fucking cock. Now *that* would have been an Academy Award-worthy ending.

Hobbit Lover: You know what, maybe we should start calling your friend Padme, 'cause he loves Manakin Skywalker so much, right?
Dante Hicks: You never go ass-to-mouth!
Randal Graves: Before he was the Mad Duckets guy, he was just Pickle Fucker. See, Freshman year the Seniors put us through what they called "Initiations". They'd stuff us into lockers or throw us naked into the girl's locker room, but Lance here got the worst of it. The Seniors pulled his pants down, shoved a pickle up his ass, and made him walk ten feet. If the pickle fell out before the ten foot mark, he'd have to take a bite out of it, re-insert it, and walk again.
Randal Graves: Emma, are you like this because you have an oversized clit?
Randal Graves: One semester we took criminology for God's sake! Criminology! Who the fuck are we studying to be, Batman?

Randal Graves: Since when did "porch monkey" suddenly become a racial slur?

Sexy Stud: Ooh, cake!
Silent Bob: ...I got nothing.
Hobbit Lover: I'm gonna kick your ass back to the Shire if you don't shut your fucking mouth.
Becky: [to Dante] Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's forgivable to go ass to mouth.
Randal Graves: [laughing] I made fun of "Lord of the Rings" so hard, it made some supergeek puke all over the counter. Where do we keep the mop and bucket so I can make Elias clean it up?
Randal Graves: Fuck off with your D&D Gobot bullshit.
Randal Graves: What's the point of having an internet connection if your not using it to look up weird fucked up pictures of dirty sex you'd never have yourself?
Jay: You know, sometimes I wish I did a little more with my life instead of hanging out in front of places selling weed and shit. Like, maybe be an animal doctor. Why not me? I like seals and shit. Or maybe an astronaut. Yeah... be the first motherfucker to see a new galaxy, or find a new alien lifeform... and fuck it. People would be like, "There he goes. Homeboy fucked a martian once."
Dante Hicks: I can't believe you.I finally get my shit togheter.I'm hours from getting outta here, I'm really starting my life and you somehow figure out a way to obliterate all that and reduce me to a convict.
Trivia
Had Rosario Dawson turned down the role of Becky, Kevin Smith's wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith would've played the part.
Screened out of competition at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and received an eight-minute standing ovation from the midnight crowd.
Kevin Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith is the little girl that Dante waves to in the window of the restaurant.
The song 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins is featured in the movie. The music video for 1979 was filmed in the same convenience store used for both Clerks movies.
When Dante picks up Randal in the beginning of the film, the house Randal comes out of was Kevin Smith's childhood home on 21 Jackson St.
Prior to the release of the film, Kevin Smith had mentioned releasing an MP3 file commentary to be downloaded and listened to in movie theaters via iPod. Ultimately, theater owners and exhibitors objected, and the plan was scrapped.
The letters in the Clerks II logo all come from various fast food logos/products. The C from Carl Jr.'s, L from McDonald's Large fries, E from Burger King's Whopper, R from Burger King, K from KFC, and S from Popeye's.
Emma's line to Dante, "Face it tiger. You just hit the jackpot", is a (rather obscure) Spider-Man reference. This is the first line spoken by Mary Jane in #42 (November 1966) of the original comic book. This line was also re-used when Mary Jane was introduced in the popular "Spider-Man" cartoon show.
In the original Clerks., no cigarette brands are ever named, although many packs are sold throughout the film. At the end of this movie, the Quick Stop only carries "Nails" cigarettes, a fictional brand shown in some of Kevin Smith's previous movies.
The idea to have Jason Mewes do his The Silence of the Lambs dance to "Goodbye Horses" came straight from Mewes who apparently does this on a regular basis to the director.
The character "Elias" in the film is a reference to Kevin Smith's favorite hockey player Patrick Elias, who played for the New Jersey Devils.
Joel Siegel, film critic for "Good Morning America", walked out 40 minutes into a screening of the film. In his own words: "First movie I've walked out of in 30 fucking years!". The straw that broke the camels back was the scene where two of the characters discuss hiring a woman to perform sex acts on a donkey.
Goofs
After Randal says he's going to take back porch monkey, he tapes "Porch Monkey 4 Life" on the back of his shirt. When he goes outside to talk with Dante, in some shots the back of his shirt is bare.
In the Go-Cart Scene, there are California desert mountains visible in the background. The movie is supposed to take place in New Jersey.
When Dante first shows up at the store and lifts the lock to open the metal shutters, he doesn't sense anything amiss inside. When he lifts the shutter to find a violent inferno inside, he closes the door with his bare hands and then lifts it again. If the store were really burning so violently, the metal shutters and lock would have certainly been too hot to be touched.
In the beginning of the movie right after Randal gets in Dante's car and they're talking about Dante leaving for Florida, watch Randal's right hand. There's a smudge on his palm that keeps disappearing and reappearing.
