* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Randal's name is correctly spelled with one L, not two, but many fans still add the extra letter.

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 [[SarcasmMode scenic]] [=QuickStop=] convenience store where Smith worked at the time and featured a cast made up of Smith's friends (such as Jeff Anderson, [[Series/ComicBookMen Walt Flanagan,]] Creator/JasonMewes and Scott Mosier) and family (in various small roles), Smith himself, and a few local actors (such as Creator/BrianOHalloran, who plays the lead role of Dante Hicks). When released, the film made its budget back several times over. Its success enabled Smith to make [[Film/{{TheViewAskewniverse}} 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 Creator/RogerEbert and Creator/LeonardMaltin. The film's success helped jump-start the modern independent film industry (which actually began with ''Film/StrangerThanParadise'' and ''Film/ShesGottaHaveIt'' but was given a big kick by ''Film/SexLiesAndVideotape'' and ''Film/{{Slacker}}'', the latter of which Smith claimed was his direct inspiration for this film) and turned [[Creator/MiramaxFilms Miramax]] into a major distributor for said independent films, rivaled only by Polygram Filmed Entertainment and Fox Searchlight.

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 AnimatedAdaptation, ''WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries'', several comics, and in 2006, a true sequel in ''Film/ClerksII''.
