Kevin Smith originally cast himself as Randal, which is why Randal gets some of the best lines.
Kevin Smith worked in the store where they shot the film. They shot for 21 straight nights. He would clock in at 6am and finish at 11pm. They would then shoot till 4am, after which he would try to grab an hour or two's sleep before getting ready to go back to work.
Jason Reitman has said that this film inspired his desire to be a filmmaker. Reitman later told Kevin Smith this, which lead Smith to jokingly quip, "You're the son of Ivan Reitman. You grew up on the sets of Ghostbusters (1984), and Stripes (1981). It took ME to let you know that you can be a director?".
Kevin Smith, a keen comic book fan, sold a large part of his collection to help fund this film. He has since been able to buy most of them back.
Filmed at the same store in which director Kevin Smith was working at the time. As he was only allowed to film outside of business hours, and because bright enough lights couldn't be afforded, the plot included an explanation for the shutters always being down.
"Indecisive Video Customer: They say so much, but they never tell you if it's any good. Are either one of these any good? Sir? Randal Graves: What? Indecisive Video Customer: Are either one of these any good? Randal Graves: I don't watch movies. Indecisive Video Customer: Well, have you heard anything about either one of them? Randal Graves: I find it's best to stay out of other people's affairs. Indecisive Video Customer: You mean you haven't heard anybody say anything about either one of these? Randal Graves: Nope. Indecisive Video Customer: [turns around, then shows Randal the same movies] Well, what about these two? Randal Graves: Oh, they suck. Indecisive Video Customer: These are the same two movies! You weren't paying any attention! Randal Graves: No, I wasn't. Indecisive Video Customer: I don't think your manager would appreciate it if... Randal Graves: I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am. Indecisive Video Customer: I beg your pardon? Randal Graves: Your ruse. Your cunning attempt to trick me. Indecisive Video Customer: I was only pointing out that you weren't paying any attention to what I was saying. Randal Graves: And I hope it feels good. Indecisive Video Customer: You hope *what* feels good? Randal Graves: I hope it feels so good to be right. There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there? Indecisive Video Customer: Well, this is the last time I rent here. Randal Graves: You'll be missed. Indecisive Video Customer: Screw you! [leaves] Randal Graves: [runs to the door] Hey! You're not allowed to rent here anymore! Jay: [outside; has no idea what's going on] Yeah!"
"Silent Bob: [His only line] You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you."
