    • Trivia
      Brodie's comic book collection seen in the movie was director Kevin Smith's collection at the time (which has grown considerably since). The collection is what Smith was able to purchase back after selling his original collection to finance production of Clerks (1994).
    • Goofs
      When Brodie and TS first arrive at the mall, the license plates on the cars state New Jersey, then the remainder show Minnesota.
    • Quotes

      Stan Lee: You know, I think you ought to get him some help. He seems to be really hung up on super heroes' sex organs.

    • Crazy credits
      End credits finish with: Jay and Silent Bob will return in "Chasing Amy"
    • Alternate versions
      There is also a 10th Anniversary Extended Edition, running 2hours and 2 minutes.

    Best watched with eyes closed?
    As most Smith fanboys know, Mallrats has been trashed critically, financially (bad box-office) and by a lot of Smith's own fan-base.

    Personally I like it. Even without watching the DVD with commentary by Smith its obvious that this outing was backed by Hollywood, emitting a polish and lack of gloom that his other films don't have and thus gaining flack over its lack of "Indie" look and feel and hammy storyline. Had this film been in black in white, shot using a cheaper production method, or had a less happier ending, it possibly would have fared better with the fans than it did.

    Listen to the dialogue though and its soon apparent this is indeed pure Smith. And it shines. The long diatribes about seemingly nothing, the anti-establishment rumblings of Brody (who ironically spends a lot of the film clarifying escalator ettiquite and other mall law), and a bigger involvement of Jay and Bob (but not too much) make this as good, if not better than the other Kevin Smith films and quite possibly my favourite of his.

    Its hard to rate this film, you'll either really like it and give it a 10 or tuck into another chocolate pretzel after giving it a 1.
