Rivedere Clerks è sempre un’esperienza, soprattutto dieci anni dopo la sua uscita e svariati film di Kevin Smith -non tutti all’altezza- dopo. Valutazioni artistiche sul film a parte, la capacità del regista del New Jersey di creare un intertesto di riferimenti che non si esaurisce all’interno dello spazio di un solo film ha dell’ecccezionale, come gli appassionati possono notare in questa vecchia lista scovata chissà dove:
