Mallrats/Trivia


 * Creator Backlash: Kevin Smith famously made a mock apology for how awful this film was on the official movie website just to screw with all the fans who hated it.
 * Executive Meddling: Every time you hear a synonym for "penis" that isn't explicit or a word meaning "fuck" that isn't "fuck", you have witnessed the meddling hand of Universal Pictures.
 * Kevin Smith later thanked the Executives, because his original opening to the film was almost 20 minutes longer. They wisely noted that you can't have a movie called Mallrats and then take a half-hour to get to the mall.
 * Watching the extended DVD version, you can see there are quite a few times where the meddling actually did make jokes funnier. Executive Meddling isn't always a bad thing.
