Does anyone know the name of the song in the trailer?
<!-- It appears this comment was posted prior to the movies release. Should it be removed now? -->

--In the internet exclusive trailer, the song is a heavy metal version of the cartoon theme. In the theatrical trailer, the song is Jerk It Out by The Caesars.

Some idiot completely changed this to some Rap Music CD shit that has nothing to do with the topic.. someone fix it plz? <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:12.226.31.184|12.226.31.184]] ([[User talk:12.226.31.184|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/12.226.31.184|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.</small> 12:39, 21 July 2006

== Tiny censorship ==
Yeah, this probably won't go over too well on a Smith page (I understand), but please, let's keep the curse out of the Siegel quote. This is supposed to be a "professional"-type encyclopedia we're helping make. A tasteful (explitave) should work well, and if anyone asks, pretend I'm quoting J&SBSB on this one, k? [[User:Gspawn|Gspawn]] 14:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
:Sorry, [[Wikipedia:Profanity|Profanity on Wikipedia is not to be censored]]. --[[User:Liface|Liface]] 15:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
It's a QUOTE, sir. It can not be changed under any circumstances. If you want to talk about unprofessional behavior, go see Siegel. - Max

SNAP!- Optimus Mike
:I see absolutely no reason to taunt the fellow - he raised a perfectly reasonable point which, we decided a long time ago, happened not to be the best way of going about things. -[[User:MBlume|MBlume]] 06:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, but the notion of a *tiny* bit censorship (an oxymoron), especially on Wikipedia, is absurd. -Max

==Trivia section==

I'm trimming this, it's getting ludicrous. --[[User:Liface|Liface]] 18:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
: I added a warning. If you would like to add trivia to the section, please post it here. --[[User:Liface|Liface]] 15:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


There was a planned in-theater commentary track that moviegoers could listen to on their MP3 players and it received lots of hype, but was pulled. There doesn't appear to be any information in the article about it. I could add it, but I don't know much about it myself. (For instance, why was it pulled after all that hype?) Does it belong in the article and how should it be listed - as a trivia section item, or a seperate section? I may get around to further researching the matter and adding it myself, but I know someone else could do a better job.
: I think it might be significant to note, from a cinema history standpoint, that the black and white sequences that begin and end the film could be seen as an homage to ''The Wizard of Oz'', in addition to being a reference to the original ''Clerks'' being in black and white. Just one man's opinion. Also, I think your warning is missing a line or symbol or something; it's only visible on the Edit page, and for some reason shunts the first two points under Trivia to the end of the References section. -- [[User:Pennyforth|Pennyforth]] 20:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:: Well here's the problem with most trivia sections: Editor X comes in and says "blah blah blah is a reference to this" without citing a source. Then other editors come in and add all their references, and we end up with a huge list of stuff that doesn't really pertain to the article. If you look at the [[:Category:FA-Class film articles|Featured film articles]], almost none of them have trivia sections. So we're going to need to cut down on our trivia and cite sources for everything. --[[User:Liface|Liface]] 23:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


The track was pulled after the hype. I [http://theblazeronline.typepad.com/the_blazer_online/2006/08/kevin_smith_tra.html interviewed Kevin] two weeks before the relsease of the film, during which he was still excited about it. It had already been hyped quite a bit too, but was then pulled [http://newsaskew.com/cgi-bin/coranto/viewnews.pl?id=EEVVFupZAFcjomcHmO&style=Default+News+Style&tmpl=viewnews] just before the release of the film.
I was thinking about adding a mention that Randall's "Count Cockula" shirt says "I want to suck your pud" in the tiny text above it. -[[User:Zephyrxero|Zephyrxero]] 06:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know what actor plays the fat guy with the "07" on the back of his jersey who is dancing in the bathroom? Is it kevin smith?--[[User:Cms479|Cms479]] 14:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
: Nope, not Kevin Smith. Looks like he's uncredited. --[[User:Liface|Liface]] 18:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
yes that is kevin smith. {{unsigned3 | 71.100.166.68 | 17:35, 31 July 2006}}


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
==Removed from Trivia==


I have just modified one external link on [[Clerks II]]. Please take a moment to review [[special:diff/817051380|my edit]]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
I rememved the part in the trvia section that says jay saying "lord?" when becky asks him to play music from the roof is a dogma reference to god being female, I believe the real reason is just becuase of Jay's new found faith and just believes god is speaking to him.
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110929073935/http://www.clerks2.com/teaser/ to http://www.clerks2.com/teaser/


When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
: First off, sign your comments. Secondly, I disagree, and I'm evidently not the only person who feels this way, as I was not the person who originally added it to the article. If you still disagree, fine, we can have a vote or something here, but in the meantime I'm readding it. [[User:Dlong|Dlong]] 03:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


{{sourcecheck|checked=false|needhelp=}}
:: It's very obvious to me that it IS because of God being a woman in Dogma, as it also seems clear that this movie takes place after all the prior Jerseyverse movies. However, unless Kevin or one of the main cast/crew members confirms this it needs to be mentioned that this is a common theory, and not a confirmed fact. Put it back in ;) --[[User:Zephyrxero|Zephyrxero]] 07:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


Cheers.—[[User:InternetArchiveBot|'''<span style="color:darkgrey;font-family:monospace">InternetArchiveBot</span>''']] <span style="color:green;font-family:Rockwell">([[User talk:InternetArchiveBot|Report bug]])</span> 19:28, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
==Period==
Since the original's page is titled "Clerks.", shouldn't this be "Clerks. II" if we're going by the title card? That was how it was rendered on screen. [[User:Tim Long|Tim Long]] 06:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


== Ten years or eleven? ==
: IIRC, while the original was "Clerks.", on-screen it rendered "Clerks." and then the period disappear as the "II" was appearing. [[User:Dlong|Dlong]] 06:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


So is this film set ten years after the first film (in the lede) or eleven (first sentence of plot) or twelve (third sentence of plot) or [[Jay_and_Silent_Bob#Clerks_II|thirteen]]?--[[User:Shantavira|Shantavira]]|[[User talk:Shantavira|<sup>feed me</sup>]] 08:41, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
==Major Overhaul==
I think this whole page needs to be restructured. Immediately after the table of contents you run into a Spoiler Warning version of the plot. I would suggest putting a non-spoiler synopsis first, followed by the cast credits, and then the spoiler plot. Also, I noticed that the trivia portion seems to have 3 sections, one section with non spoiling trivia, followed by a section for spoiler trivia, and then some...third...thing? It appears like it's supposed to be a continuation of the non-spoiler trivia, and if that is so, it needs to be moved up to the proper area. I'd like some feedback before I or someone else does this though... --[[User:Zephyrxero|Zephyrxero]] 06:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

In-Theater Commentary?

[edit]

There was a planned in-theater commentary track that moviegoers could listen to on their MP3 players and it received lots of hype, but was pulled. There doesn't appear to be any information in the article about it. I could add it, but I don't know much about it myself. (For instance, why was it pulled after all that hype?) Does it belong in the article and how should it be listed - as a trivia section item, or a seperate section? I may get around to further researching the matter and adding it myself, but I know someone else could do a better job.

The track was pulled after the hype. I interviewed Kevin two weeks before the relsease of the film, during which he was still excited about it. It had already been hyped quite a bit too, but was then pulled [2] just before the release of the film.

Ten years or eleven?

[edit]
