Nearly 15 years earlier than Marvel modified Hollywood by connecting all of its movies right into a single overarching narrative, Kevin Smith created his “View Askewniverse.” All of his early films existed in the identical universe (or, at the least, the identical a part of Central New Jersey). The characters in a single film would pop up in one other; notorious occasions in a single story may get referenced once more later.
Whereas Smith did finally transfer away from solely making films within the View Askewniverse by the mid-2000s, he’s returned to it lately, first together with his Jay and Silent Bob Reboot after which with Clerks III, which actually brings him again to his roots telling tales about two humble comfort retailer workers (performed as soon as once more by Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson) trapped for eternity behind the register on the Fast Cease in Leonardo, New Jersey. On this installment Anderson’s Randal suffers a near-fatal coronary heart assault and decides he must do one thing together with his life. As a lifelong film fan, there’s only one possibility: Make a film, and set within the Fast Cease.
That turns Clerks III right into a continuous parade of references and callbacks to the unique Clerks, because the film Randal makes bears a really robust resemblance to the one Kevin Smith wrote and directed about his personal time working on the Fast Cease again in 1994. Characters and actors from the previous return, earlier pictures are duplicated precisely, and even one or two movies exterior the View Askewniverse get talked about. Under, you’ll discover a number of dozen Easter eggs hidden all through the movie. In the event you plan on stealing them to jot down a bit of your personal, please tell us. Thanks.
