Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the fifth movie from Kevin Smith, famous for his cult films Clerks and Mallrats and the more commercially successful films Chasing Amy and Dogma. The title is a take-off on the second Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back.

The film is (according to Smith) the last of his films to feature Jay and Silent Bob and the only one where they are the main characters. As such, it is fairly indulgent and includes numerous references to Smith's earlier films (including the return of many old characters).

The soundtrack to this film featured the 2001 Afroman hit, Because I Got High.
