Movies like Clerks III deliver raunchy humor with heart. With Clerks III, Kevin Smith returned to the franchise that he started his career with, delivering yet another chapter in the story of Dante Hicks and Randal Graves, the clerks who haven't really done much with their lives since the first movie, where they worked in a convenience store and video store in New Jersey. The third movie follows Randall and Dante, who, faced with their own mortality, decide to make a movie based on their lives at the Quick Stop. o4s3b

Kevin Smith's third entry in the Clerks franchise and his latest entry in his connective universe of films known as the View Askewniverse has wrapped up its theatrical run and is now heading to digital markets. The major characters from the previous two Clerks films, of course, appear, but as always, Smith has also brought back several surprising characters from across the View Askewniverse's many entries.

Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse is one of the most unique cinematic universes existing today and just added another entry to its storied history with the release of Clerks III. Comprised of characters who are for the most part just normal people, rather than all-powerful superheroes, and whose appearances in other films are just usually casual pop-ins with no larger implications to the story, the View Askewniverse is easily one of the chillest, yet still unbelievably entertaining, franchises to ever be created.

Sixteen years after its previous installment and twenty-eight years after its first, Kevin Smith's saga of convenience has finally reached its conclusion with Clerks 3. Even though it took Clerks nearly three decades to finally achieve what took the Lord Of Rings and Back To The Future trilogies less than a fraction of that time to do, a third film almost wasn't made at all.

Kevin Smith has finally made his long-awaited return to the Quick Stop convenience store in Clerks III. The highly anticipated sequel follows on from Smith’s beloved debut feature Clerks from 1994 and its hugely satisfying sequel Clerks II from 2006. Nearly two decades on, Clerks III has a legendary legacy to live up to.

Clerks IIIis here, and Kevin Smith fans are curious to see what he has in store for this third installment of the famous series. What's even more interesting is that this franchise started off on a microbudget and was made for less than $30,000, but has now ballooned into a multi-million dollar property.

With Clerks 3getting a heap of positive attention from fans and critics alike, audiences can't help but look back on the other Clerksfilms with fondness and nostalgia. Despite their vaunted reputation in comedy circles, not every viewer loved the movies; some even had downright unpopular opinions.

With the release of Kevin Smith's Clerks III, many fans have been revisiting the original movie that started the filmmaker's career. After all these years, Clerksis still ed by fans for its beloved characters, but most of all, its memorable dialogue.

The release of Clerks III this month has reminded many that Kevin Smith is a master of cameos -- not only making them himself but securing famous guest stars for his movies.

Here's every cameo Ben Affleck has made in Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse. Before Ben Affleck and best bud Matt Damon broke through with Good Will Hunting, the pair were struggling actors trying to find their way in the business. One of Affleck's earliest roles of note was playing a villain in Kevin Smith's Mallrats, the director's follow-up to his indie hit Clerks. While Mallrats wasn't a hit – though it later became a cult favorite – Affleck and Smith became regular collaborators.
