The Flying Car

I saw this on leno and thought it was damn funny. It realy is the apitamy of everything us fanboys love about Kevin Smiths movies, It's all about the dialogue. Only kevin could take 2 guys in a car (Dante and randal from clerks) and turn it into a laugh out loud funny short film.

Short review for a short film

5 / 5

P.s I Can't wait for jersey girl

A six minute short film about two guys stuck in a traffic jam and talking about a flying car sounds dull, doesn't it? Of course, it's not. Why, you ask? Because this short is brought to us by Kevin Smith and brings back Dante and Randal from Clerks!!!

I found out about this short recently (well yesterday) and downloaded it Not the fastest download mind you, but well worth it! The writing and actors' chemistry is absolutely perfect. It all equals into a laugh out loud funny short.

'The Flying Car' is a definite must see!

Classic Randal. Those two have the greatest line delivery. I try and think if Kevin Smith had played Randal in "Clerks", could you see him constantly razzing Dante? I think not. I'm excited to see, "Now You Know" because I think Jeff Anderson is genius. I could listen to him talk for hours because I love his voice. So thank you Kevin Smith for stepping into the Silent Bob shoes and letting Jeff into the Randal slacker shoes.

'The flying car' could very easily be a scene that was written but never filmed for the 1994 film 'Clerks.'

There's not much to say here: Jeff Anderson again portrays Randal with his characteristically stubborn, forthright, and boneheaded imagination, and Brian O'Halloran's Dante is easily recognizable for his cynical, flustered, put-upon countenance. How Dante and Randal remain friends is a great mystery.

Anderson throws out Randal's quips and otherwise effusive lines of dialogue with the same fired-up energy we've seen him commit to before, and it's easy to believe that O'Halloran is genuinely fed up with Randal's pompous nonsense, not just in-character as Dante. The personality built into the pair of ne'er-do-well's is exhibited so cleanly by their performers; their energies feed off one another in a comedic symbiosis of mundanity.

Kevin Smith has great love for and knowledge of pop culture that freely shows itself in his movies, and those audience members who similarly revel in broad fandom pillars of theorizing, hypothesizing, philosophizing, and extrapolating will be those to most enjoy his films. So it was in 'Clerks,' and so it is in 'The flying car.'

I could do with some more shorts with these two.

Although i missed this soon to be classic from writer/director Kevin Smith (Clerks), I found it on the View Askew homepage. It has everything i loved from the View Askew movies rolled into 7 minutes! Randal and Dante discuss what Dante would give up to own a flying car. The results are very hilarious! The only downside to it, is that it reminds me a lot of the scene in "Clerks" where Randal explains the circumstances surrounding his cousins death. *** out of **** stars. Also check out the shorts "Mae Day: The Crumbling Of A Documentary"(Directed by Kevin Smith) and "Star" (Directed by Guy Ritchie.)
