Clerks	comment	The ultimate low-budget success story that turned Kevin Smith from a working-class kid from New Jersey to one of the most popular filmmaking personalities of all time.Filmed in 1993 but not theatrically released until 1994, it cost $27,000 to make, roughly the same price as a new car at the time. The film's final cost was $230,000 after the rights to its grunge- and punk-oriented soundtrack were added in, making it one of the few films in history where the rights to the soundtrack actually cost more than the film.Clerks was shot in the scenic QuickStop convenience store where Smith worked at the time, and featured a cast made up of Smith's friends (such as Jeff Anderson, Walt Flanagan, Jason Mewes and Scott Mosier) and family (in various small roles), Smith himself, and a few local actors (such as Brian O'Halloran, who plays the lead role of Dante Hicks). When released, the film made its budget back several times over, and its success enabled Smith to make several more films with some of the same characters and settings.Surprisingly, for a film with a large amount of profanity and vulgar references, it manages to stay quite intelligent, and upon release, it was well-received by critics such as Roger Ebert and Leonard Maltin. The film's success helped jump-start the modern independent film industry (which actually began with Stranger Than Paradise and She's Gotta Have It but was given a big kick by sex, lies, and videotape and Slacker, the latter of which Smith claimed was his direct inspiration for this film) and turned Miramax into a major distributor for said independent films, rivaled only by Polygram Filmed Entertainment and Fox Searchlight.The film is about a day in the life of a pair of friends, Dante Hicks and Randal Graves, working at Quick Stop and RST Video, respectively. Another group of friends, Jay and Silent Bob, deal drugs and hang out around Quick Stop. Dante (as he will constantly remind you) isn't even supposed to be there that day - it's his day off, but he was forced to cover a coworker's morning shift.Sometime later, Randal shows up for work. He spends most of his day at the Quick Stop rather than working, though. Dante's girlfriend, Veronica, comes over to talk to him. There he finds out that she has... had quite a lot of fun. It's yet another thing Dante obsesses over.Later on, Dante closes up shop, because he had a hockey game to play that day. They play on the roof, but after an annoyed customer comes up, joins the game, and loses the puck, they have to stop and get back to work. They also go to a funeral, meet up with Dante's ex-girlfriend (who goes through some trauma), and get in a fight. In the end, they stop arguing and close up for the day.The first part of The View Askewniverse (though Mallrats, which came out later, depicts the events of the day before the events of Clerks). With the obvious exception of Jay and Silent Bob, Dante and Randal are the most frequently recurring characters in the verse, having starred in an Animated Adaptation, Clerks: The Animated Series, several comics, and in 2006, a true sequel in Clerks II. A third film, Clerks III, was eventually picked up by Lionsgate and released in 2022.

Clerks / int_11a7e2ca	comment	Elderly Ailment Rambling: An elderly man convinces Dante to let him use the "Employees Only" restroom by stating that at his age, he didn't always make it in time. He convinced him to let him take a roll of high-end toilet paper by stating that the cheap stuff would really "knock his hemorrhoids around". And the porno mag was just because the drawings "made him laugh" (at which point Dante was pretty much just trying to get rid of the guy).

Clerks / int_1722aaf	comment	Hitler Ate Sugar: Used in a scene where a 'Chewley's' gum representative is trying to stir up anti-cigarette sentiment in order to sell gum as a substitute. He tells the protagonist that shopkeepers who sell cigarettes are equal to Nazis because clerks like him are only following orders, and so did the Nazis. This is ironic as the Nazis hated smoking. Granted it's a flawed argument considering he obviously has no choice in what he sells and nobody is forced to buy it, but his customers are stirred into pelting him with cigarettes anyway.

Clerks / int_19da80d3	comment	Hypocrite Has a Point: Dante may not have nearly as much integrity as he likes to think he does, and is every bit as irresponsible at his workplace as Randal, but he is correct that Randal should conduct himself better and take his obligations more seriously. Randal isn't just irresponsible at his workplace; he's downright malicious. He's openly rude to customers for no reason, he lists off a bunch of porn titles in front of a mother and child just to be a jerk, he spits in a customer's face because he doesn't want to listen to his small talk to Dante, curses and talks about inappropriate things in front of customers, flashes porn in one's face when he expresses his outrage, and has the gall to believe that it's everyone else who's the problem. Dante, for all his issues, at least tries to conduct himself in a professional manner. It doesn't help that Randal's antics risk reflecting poorly on Dante and he often ends up being the one paying for them.

Clerks / int_20860a0e	type	Punch-Clock Villain
Clerks / int_20860a0e	comment	Punch-Clock Villain: Dante and Randal debate the ethics of the Rebels blowing up the Death Star in Return of the Jedi, given that many of the workers building it were probably independent contractors with no particular allegiance to the Empire. The current customer overhears and just happens to be a contractor himself. He shares a story about how he turned down a job for a gangster despite the lucrative paycheck. His buddy took the job instead and ended up getting hit by a stray bullet and dying during a drive-by attack on the mobster's house. The moral being that even a punch-clock villain has to accept the risks and moral cost of the job and anyone who took a job on the Death Star has themselves to blame. George Lucas himself discussed this in the DVD Commentary for Attack of the Clones, saying the termite-like Geonosians were probably employed by the Empire for these means, and thus they were so many that it wasn't a problem.

Perhaps coincidentally, there happens to be a real-life chain named Food City that operates in the Southeast.

He counts this as the "half" of her eight and a half acts of infidelity.

The protests of the film's agent John Pierson, as well as those of damn near everyone else involved (most prominently supporter Bob Hawk and star Brian O'Halloran), led to Smith cutting the ending short, and he professes to liking the final version better.

Granted, Dante's reaction is overblown and he quickly crosses the line, but given that she gave a rather vivid description of what "snowballing" is, you can see why he's so furious. In a row? Dante leaves the higher ground pretty swiftly when he explains that it's a different question how many sex partners Veronica has had compared to how many sex partners he has had because in Veronica's case this is important.

He then criticizes Dante's attitude, noting that he constantly talks down to and belittles others while working a low-wage menial job at a convenience store, and pointing out that although Jay and Silent Bob are stupid, at least they don't try to overcompensate for having what's essentially a monkey's job.

Clerks / int_8839237d	comment	No Such Thing as H.R.: Dante and Randal do pretty much whatever they want at the Quick Stop and survive the day with no repercussions, mainly because the bosses are far away, giving their orders by phone. Even under normal conditions, such small retail jobs like convenience stores and gas stations are typically light on supervision. So there's a pretty good chance that even if the boss wasn't out of state they'd face little or no repercussions for what they pulled.

At the end of the film Caitlin has sex with someone she believes to be Dante in a bathroom with the lights off. Dante also jokes that he's willing to fuck a vegetable because "they put up the least amount of struggle." What does Caitlin say when she thinks she and Dante had sex in the bathroom? "He let me do all the work."

This meant that a whole lot of Foreshadowing ended up orphaned. However, it's quite likely that the entirety of The View Askewniverse, including direct sequels such as Clerks II and Clerks: The Animated Series, would have been nullified by this original ending.

The walk and Dante's line accompanying it at the end of the film was taken from Wrangler Jeans commercials and — even with all of the merchandise in the background of the store — was the only part of the film that needed to be edited to avoid legal issues. Dante's line, referring to the walk as the "Wrangle," had to be ADRed in post. Miramax got the company's permission to leave the line uncut on the "First Cut" disc of the Clerks X DVD release.

Clerks / int_f0e85546	type	Unbuilt Trope
Clerks / int_f0e85546	comment	Unbuilt Trope: Clerks was one of the first films with a main character in a Soul-Sucking Retail Job, making Dante suffer all the indignities that come with being a convenience store clerk. But the film also shows that while retail does indeed suck, the person most responsible for Dante's misery is Dante himself. For all his pretensions of intellectualism, Dante is a snide, passive, lazy, self-pitying Jerkass who chooses to stay in a job that makes him unhappy. While Dante complains a lot, he never tries to improve his station, nor does he quit the job. It's even pointed out to Dante that although he was asked to come in to cover a shift, he could just as easily have said "no" to the request. Towards the end of the film, Randall chews out Dante with a "The Reason You Suck" Speech for Dante sneering at the world around him while blaming everyone but himself for his misery, making it seem like a job at a convenience store is way more important than it really is, and calling out all of Dante's complaints as pointlessly antagonistic self-pity. Randall even highlights Dante's refusal to get over Caitlin, as Dante has no reason to care about Caitlin any more and really should have gotten over her by now. Randall's speech ends with an Armor-Piercing Question to Dante about what he's doing working at a convenience store if he's really as smart as he thinks he is. Dante doesn't answer, yet the film makes it clear that Dante doesn't want to admit that Randall has a point. And yet, most films after Clerks depict retail workers and/or those at the bottom of the corporate ladder as some kind of unsung heroes who are being kept down by the system, when the movie that did it first argues that while Dante's job might suck, a lot of his problems could be avoided if he made the most of what he had instead of constantly complaining.invoked

The discussion of how life is just a series of downer endings. Dante's claim that The Empire Strikes Back is the superior Star Wars film because "it ends on such a down note". The observation that all the prices end in nines. Guess what time Dante's shift ends? Even Randal's line referring to people putting gum in the locks, "Bunch of savages in this town", has an ironic ring in light of the original ending.
