The Flying Car

'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.

Or he has just to many good ideas and no time to convert them into feature lenght scripts. so he makes shorts like this! and i love them! this short is basically just Clerks in a car. they're sitting there in traffic talking about how flying cars should have been invented already. it doesn't make much sense to the common viewer but to us fans of pop culture this is some of the funniest things we'll ever see. what's bothering me though is why didn't he include this in one of his movies in stead of making this little short? i mean i think it would have fitted into Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back somewhere. or maybe in Clerks 2? oh but it doesn't matter. this was great either way. it's just as his other movies so if you're a Kevin Smith fan then download it and watch it! it's a must!

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!"

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.)

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.
