Goofs

Continuity: When Brodie is restocking the comics and talking to Jay and Silent Bob in Brodie's Secret Stash, a guy is standing there reading a comic book. In the next shot, he is standing there with his arms closed. There was a shot in between where Brodie slaps the comic book out of the guy's hands because he is damaging the spine, but it was cut.

Crazy Credits

As Morris Day and the Time perform "Jungle Love" at the end, the shots used to identify the actors are often outtakes, ending with a terrific blooper of Jason Mewes flubbing a line. See more »
