QuickTime Movies

Veronica attempts to comfort Dante after the Chewlie's fiasco. This scene appeared right after Veronica shoots the rowdy crowd with the fire extinguisher and before the scene shown in the release version.
(1.5 Megs, 22 Seconds)
Veronica asks Dante what he was doing up so late last night and when he becomes defensive, she accuses him of being on the phone with Caitlin. He denies this and then tries to change the subject.
(2.1 Megs, 30 Seconds)
Randal recommends 'Smokey and the Bandit III' to a customer, but the customer is doubtful because Burt Renolds isn't in it. Dante comes in and asks Randal if he can work behind the counter while he makes a phone call. Originally shown right before the scene where Dante is trying to reach his boss on the phone.
(1.3 Megs, 20 Seconds)
This scene appeared right after Dante yells at Jay for selling in front or the store. Scott Mosier as Willam Black scores in his finest acting moment as he yells about being repressed.
(679K, 8.28 Seconds)
This is the extended scene between Veronica and Randall where Randal is telling her that Dante doesn't love her anymore. She vents a bit after saying that 'she's not mad', and then leaves. Randal is then seen talking to himself trying to absolve any guilt of what is about to happen. While this is going on, a customer looks through movies.
(2.9 Megs, 43 Seconds)
This scene was cut out of the speech between Dante and Jay and Silent Bob after Jay asks Dante if he wanted to go with him to a party. After Dante refuses because he's a drug dealer, Jay goes into a speech about how Dante is more of a criminal than he is.
(3.0 Megs, 44 Seconds)
This is the much talked about alternate ending to the film in which Dante gets shot by a robber after Randal leaves the store. Kevin wisely cut this scene out as it is very out of character for the film and really has no purpose. Kevin says that this scene was written because 'in independent movies, someone always gets killed in the end. I didn't think anyone would 'get' the movie because it didn't have any violence.'
(3.0 Megs, 1:28 minutes)

The Cut Clerks Ending (RealVideo)

This short clip was shown after the credits rolled in the original release. Kevin says that the person shown here is neither Silent Bob, nor himself.
(900K, 22 Seconds)
This is one of the two trailers for the movie. It was made by the same guy at Miramax who did the Pulp Fiction trailers. Kevin says in his audio commentary that this one is one of his favorite trailers of all time.
(7.0 Megs, 1:37 minutes)
