The first two parts of the Clerk franchise were very good. But director Kevin Smith didn't do justice to the third part. It was not up to the mark as expected. He screwed it up like this by making a third chapter which was absolutely unnecessary and not needed. Unlike the first two parts, it didn't have any extraordinary dialogues, good plot, or comedy scenes. Moreover, while watching the movie it seemed like a sort of self-celebration of the first film which was clearly not needed as the latter is the cult in itself which doesn't need to be celebrated. Undoubtedly, the actors such as Jeff Anderson, Brian O'Halloran, and Jason Mewes did a great job and acted really well but everything apart from it didn't work. In the previous two parts, the balance between the raunchy humor with an emotional core kept the characters grounded and relatable which was not there in this part. Overall, it's definitely not a worthwhile watch.

Originally, Kevin Smith announced in 2017 that Clerks 3 was off the table after a falling-out with his friend Jeff Anderson who had played Randall Graves in Clerks (1994) and Clerks II (2006). Anderson had read the script but chose not to be involved; Smith canceled the project and made Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019) instead. Two weeks before Jay and Silent Bob Reboot was released, however, Smith revealed that he had spent an entire day signing Clerks movie memorabilia together with Anderson and Jason Mewes (Jay). This reunion allowed them to patch things up, and provided him with so much inspiration that he immediately threw away the old script, and started working on a new one with ideas that Anderson was receptive to. According to Smith, it will be "a movie that concludes a saga [...] about how you're never too old to completely change your life [...] about how a decades-spanning friendship finally confronts the future."
Uses the actual Quick Stop Groceries location from the first Clerks film in New Jersey, which is now run by the son of the original owner. Unlike the first film which could only be shot at night (hence why the shutters were jammed), the store was closed for two weeks which allowed for scenes to be shot during the day. Previously, the Quick Stop location in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019), was a facade built in New Orleans, which had a much bigger parking lot and different surroundings.
During the operation scene to save Randal, the theme song to Degrassi: The Next Generation is used. This is based on what Kevin Smith experienced during his own heart attack operation, as he's stated it was the song playing in his head that kept him in a good mood during the procedure that saved his life.
During the heart attack operation scene, Randal tells Dr. Ladenheim (Amy Sedaris) about the Disney+ show The Mandalorian (2019). On the show, Sedaris plays the character Peli Motto in a recurring role.
The character played by Ethan Suplee auditions using lines said by Suplee's character in the movie Mallrats
"Randal: Jay and Silent Bob are like C-3PO and R2-D2. They've been here since the first movie, which was the last time they were cool, but they've been with the franchise so long, they still give them cameos and put them on the lunch boxes."
"Jay: That's how we did it in the '90s, son!"
