History Film / JayandSilentBobStrikeBack

* DoesNotLikeMen: The jewel thieves except Justice. They clearly hate Jay & Silent Bob with a passion.

* NeverLiveItDown: Somewhere between this trope and SignatureScene is the bit where Jay and Silent Bob [[spoiler: go to the houses of everyone who bad-mouthed them online and beat them up]]. If you've never actually seen the movie before but are at least aware of its existence and have spent some time online, you'd probably think this is a big part of the film, when in fact it's [[spoiler: a very short segment at the very end]].

* NeverLiveItDown: Jason Biggs, InUniverse. - "It's never 'Oh you were great in ''Loser''.' It's always [[Film/AmericanPie the fucking pie!]] I'm haunted by it!"

* OneForTheMoneyOneForTheArt: Mentioned [[InUniverse in the film]] by Creator/BenAffleck - "What've I been telling you? You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him." [''AsideGlance'']

* ScrewThisImOuttaHEre: When the shootout begins on the ''Bluntman and Chronic'' set, Chaka says "Crazy crackers with guns? Time for me to get my black ass outta here!"

* SirSwearsalot: Baby Jay's first word is "fuck", if that tells you anything about the kind of person he grows up into.

* ADayInTheLimelight: After four films of appearing in varying capacities ({{Those Two Guys}} in ''Film/{{Clerks}}'', [[OneSceneWonder One Scene Wonders]] in ''Film/ChasingAmy'' and major supporting characters in ''Film/{{Mallrats}}'' and ''Film/{{Dogma}}''), Jay and Silent Bob ''finally'' get to be the leads in a movie. The questionability of giving an entire movie to {{Those Two Guys}} is lampshaded (see page quote).

* DiscontinuityNod: Jason Biggs, having not read the script, mistakenly refers to Jay as "Ray". When ABC tried to turn ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' into a TV show in the 1990s, Smith tried to prevent it from happening by exploiting his ownership of Jay (Silent Bob was not in the pilot.) ABC responded by changing the character's name to Ray. (The pilot in question was ''not'' for ''WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries'', which--unlike this pilot--was animated, and kept the cast of the original film as well as Smith and Mosier on board.)

* [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Everything's Better With Monkeys]]

** The movie poster for Bluntman and Chronic has a similar design and title font to WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries.

* LaserHallway: The jewel thieves make their way through a laser hallway using various different acrobatics (each trying to upstage the last). They're foiled however when the last girl through ([[Series/{{Heroes}} Ali Larter by the way]]) lets one rip through her SpyCatsuit as a result of eating fast food. This sets off the audio detection alarm.

A sequel, ''Film/JayAndSilentBobReboot'', is currently slated for a 2019 release.

* ConspiracyTheorist: Jay's very strange [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_Pd0IW0khk super monkey theory]].

** Retroactively done with Creator/WillFerrell and his character's name, Marshal Willenholly. Guess who plays Marshall in the 2009 ''Film/LandOfTheLost'' big-screen adaptation.

** A subtle one: Creator/KevinSmith was originally in talks to direct the live-action ''Film/ScoobyDoo''. Suddenly, the scene where Jay and Bob meet Mystery Inc. makes a lot more sense.

* AnimalsLackAttributes: Averted in one deleted scene spoofing ScoobyDoo.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Those nice people and their dog in the big green van [[ScoobyDoo look awfully familiar...]]

A sequel, ''Jay and Silent Bob Reboot'', is currently slated for a 2019 release.

Kevin Smith announced a sequel in 2017 entitled ''Jay and Silent Bob Reboot'', in which the titular duo return to Hollywood to stop a ''Bluntman and Chronic'' reboot from happening (Smith insists that it's SugarWiki/BetterThanItSounds).

** The guard at Miramax studios calls to [[StarWars Echo Base]] on his walkie-talkie.

** When Mark Hamill says "Don't fuck with a Jedi master, son!" and gets his hand cut off...[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack again]]. Also, [[LaserSword bong sabers]]. And the tone of his voice is the same as [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries the Joker]].

** The confrontation in the dam pipe is straight out of ''Film/TheFugitive''.

** Also for the first time ever Creator/MarkHamill performs his famous [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries "Joker Voice"]] on-camera, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome and it is glorious.]]

* YouFailGeographyForever: The editing of the movie suggests that Jay and Silent Bob hike from Boulder, CO to Utah with a stolen monkey. This is a distance of over 300 miles, over the Rocky Mountains.

** As is Creator/WesCraven during the ''{{Franchise/Scream}}'' scene.

* ActionGirl: The four female thieves Jay and Silent Bob hook up with (Sissy, Missy, Chrissy, and Justice). The first three are more like {{Dark Action Girl}}s though.

* BrickJoke: [[Creator/GeorgeCarlin A hitchhiker]], towards the beginning of the film, advises Jay and Silent Bob to offer to go down on potential drivers to get rides. It...doesn't work...with the nun... When the two finally arrive in Hollywood, nearer the tail end of the film, Jay can be "seen" going down on the hot woman who gave them a lift.

Kevin Smith announced a sequel in 2017 entitled ''Jay and Silent Bob Reboot'', in which the titular duo return to Hollywood to stop a ''Bluntman and Chronic'' reboot from happening (Smith insists that it's BetterThanItSounds).

When Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Creator/KevinSmith) are finally forced to stop hanging out in front the Quick-Stop by a restraining order, they discover that a movie based on the comic that's based on them, ''Bluntman and Chronic'', is in production. While the duo is shocked to learn that they won't be getting any money from the film, they're more horrified that people on the Internet are badmouthing them and the franchise. So Jay and Silent Bob set out for Hollywood to find a way to stop the movie from getting made so people will stop saying mean things on the Internet.

* BigBudgetBeefUp: At $22,000,000, this is the most expensive film in Film/TheViewAskewniverse (the cheapest, of course, being ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' which was 1/1,000th that budget). As a result, there's substantial more action and a much more expansive cast.

** [[spoiler: They get their revenge at the end of the movie; they use money earned from likeness rights for ''Bluntman and Chronic'' to travel the country and beat up the people who badmouthed them.]]

* OneForTheMoneyOneForTheArt: Mentioned [[InUniverse in the film]] by Creator/BenAffleck - "What've I been telling you? You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him."
