    Just the way I think!

    I think a lot of people, who never think that way!. - Would see the world in a much brighter way, if they could "Get down from the High Horse" And see the world the way it is! Witch is basicly all explained in "The Flying Car" and also in "Clerks"... Thats the way me and some of my friends thinks!.. And to Kevin Smith.- "More of that!"

    Different setting, same clerks

    '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.

    I could watch this all day.

    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!

    Loved it.

    If Kevin Smith's career ever tanks, we all know that he has what it takes to get him back on track. And that is Dante and Randal. They are hilarious. I would love to see "Clerks 2" (which was supposed to be made, but never was.) But i doubt Kevin will make it unless his career starts to go down the toilet which i doubt it will cause his writing is brilliant and hilarious. "The Flying Car" short was great. I loved it.

    Classic! I could do this all day

    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.

    • Trivia
      Before becoming a short film, the conversation between Dante and Randal in the traffic jam took place in the original Clerks 2 script as they were making their way to a Soul Asylum concert.
    • Goofs
      A local anesthetic is specifically designed to not render the patient unconscious. A "local" which, as Randal describes, would knock Dante out, would in fact be a general anesthetic.
    • Quotes

      Dante: All right! I'll go through with the deal. I'll let the German scientist hack my foot off. Then him and his friends can have their way with me. All for the flying car.

      Randal: You would do it with a bunch of guys just to get a car? I thought I knew you man.
