Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back: The Screenplay FROM THE PUBLISHER
In the first installment of Kevin Smith's New Jersey Chronicles, Clerks, Jay
and Silent Bob were the beloved characters who stole the show in the sleeper
hit. They went on to play the Greek Chorus who surfaced for comic relief in
the ongoing series, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma. In the final chapter
of the New Jersey Chronicles, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, these hapless
funnymen find themselves at the center of a colossal chase from Jersey to
California, on a valiant quest to save the "reputations" they think they
have and battle the empire known as Hollywood.
Jay and Silent Bob discover that their old friend, Banky Edwards, has sold
them out. It seems Banky has gone to Hollywood to produce a motion picture
based on the comic book about their alter egos, Bluntman & Chronic, starring
two popular young Hollywood actors as the duo. The real Jay and Silent Bob
are stunned by the news and then shattered to find out they are being
badmouthed on the internet for selling their story. There's only one shot
at salvaging their slacker reputations: head to Hollywood to sabotage the
production.
