ASH's Review:

    The finale of the Viewaskewniverse series of movies finishes with a bong, er, uh, bang. Not even close to the best of the series, but definately a fun trip. Kev rips on everything and everyone with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. I will admit that this film is NOT for everyone, but if you enjoyed the previous films you should enjoy this one as well.

Quotes:

  • Banky: That's what the Internet is for, slandering others anonymously.
     
  • Banky: You know what? I feel for you boys, I really do, but Miramax - you know, Miramax Films - paid me a shitload of money for Bluntman and Chronic. So it occurs to me that people badmouthing you on some website is none of my fucking concern.
    Silent Bob: Oh, but I think it is... We had a deal with you, on the comics remember, for likeness rights, and as we're not only the artistic basis, but also obviously the character basis, for your intellectual property, Bluntman and Chronic. When said property was optioned by Miramax Films, you were legally obliged to secure our permission to transfer the concept to another medium. As you failed to do that, Banky, you are in breach of the original contract, ergo you find yourself in a very actionable position.
    Jay: Yeah.
     
  • [Silent Bob attempts to get his point across with pantomime.]
    Jay: Why don't you just say it?
    Silent Bob: [grabbing Jay by the collar] The sign on the back of the car said "Critters Of Hollywood", you dumb fuck!
    Jay: [mutters] Say it, don't spray it.
     
  • Holden: If the buzz is any indicator, that movie's gonna make some huge bank.
    Jay: What buzz?
    Holden: The Internet buzz.
    Jay: What the fuck is the Internet?!
     
  • Jay: What the fuck are you bitches babbling about?
     

Trivia:

  • The phrase "Fuck Jay and Silent Bob. Fuck them up their stupid asses" has gotten so popular that it is used in just about every talkback on Ain't It Cool News (Such as "Fuck Osama bin Laden. Fuck him up his stupid ass.")
     
  • When the jewel thieves get their pizza, the name of the pizza place is "Marvel Pizza". The man delivering the pizza is the head of Marvel Comics.
     
  • Cast members Sean William Scott, Jason Biggs, Shannen Elizabeth, and Eli Marienthal were filming this movie around the same time as American Pie 2 (2001).
     
  • The original plot involved Jay and Silent Bob trying to save their beloved Quik Stop.
     
  • Shannon Elizabeth originally read for a minor role but so impressed director Kevin Smith that he decided to cast her in the lead.
     

Credits Fun:

  • After the credits, That Woman (God) closes the book on the View Askewniverse and prances away
     
  • Credit for Malcom Ingram as a "Mewes Wrangler"
     
  • Instead of "Jay and Silent Bob Will Return In...", it now reads, "Jay and Silent Bob have left the building." There is then a clip of Jay saying "Snoogans".
     
  • Like Smith's other films, this one closes with a snippet of Jay's dialogue
     
  • Near the end of the credits, it says: How's our driving? Tell us at www.viewaskew.com.
     
  • No animals were harmed during the making of this film, but some internet snipers got their asses handed to them.
     
  • No gay people were harmed during the making of this film (however, some were used as test dummies in the creative process).
    Anybody who uses the insults contained in this film on any gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or heterosexual person --real, percieved or imaginary-- is a total dumbass!
