• Clerks was filmed on a shoestring budget of just $27,000, using only a handful of actors and the convenience store where director Kevin Smith worked.
• Rather than a traditional plot, the movie simply observes its quirky characters' banter about sex, sports, and terrible customer service - a slice-of-life approach that resonated with audiences at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.
