* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The part where Veronica and (especially) Dante berate each other over their sex lives was played for laughs in this movie. However, in ''Film/ChasingAmy'', Holden has a similar reaction to Alyssa when he findsout about her previous sexual experiences, which was played entirely for drama and is why their relationship ultimately didn't work out. And that was in turn based off of [[RealitySubtext Kevin Smith and Joey Lauren Adams' relationship]].

* {{Narm}}: A lot of the acting is pretty bad. The scene where Dante gets the $500 fine is one of the worst offenders.

** Though due to the film being made for only $30,000 (the soundtrack cost more than the film). Smith had to use one actor for four roles, plus some weren't professional actors (including Smith) themselves, so this was bound to happen, though the film is mostly NarmCharm in a way.

For one thing, George could not POSSIBLY have had the idea of Geonosians when the original Star Wars was made, and blatant retcons should not be accepted as a means of asuaging guilt. Two, I fail to see how that makes it better, it\'s not as if the ENTIRE SPECIES is inherently evil just because their leaders sided with the bad guys that one time. After all they\'re still non combatants, why should what species they are suddenly make it ok to kill them?


* HilariousInHindsight: Remember that conversation between Dante and Randal about the [[StarWars Death Star]] possibly requiring additional independent contractors? [[spoiler: Well, it turns out that those additional independent contractors just happen to be Geonosians as pointed out by WordOfGod in the commentary on AttackOfTheClones]].

** Also every single poster for the film seems to imply that [[IAmNotShazam all five characters featured on the posters are "clerks"]], when only two actually are.
