'The flying car' could very easily be a scene that was written but never filmed for the 1994 film 'Clerks.'
There's not much to say here: Jeff Anderson again portrays Randal with his characteristically stubborn, forthright, and boneheaded imagination, and Brian O'Halloran's Dante is easily recognizable for his cynical, flustered, put-upon countenance. How Dante and Randal remain friends is a great mystery.
Anderson throws out Randal's quips and otherwise effusive lines of dialogue with the same fired-up energy we've seen him commit to before, and it's easy to believe that O'Halloran is genuinely fed up with Randal's pompous nonsense, not just in-character as Dante. The personality built into the pair of ne'er-do-well's is exhibited so cleanly by their performers; their energies feed off one another in a comedic symbiosis of mundanity.
Kevin Smith has great love for and knowledge of pop culture that freely shows itself in his movies, and those audience members who similarly revel in broad fandom pillars of theorizing, hypothesizing, philosophizing, and extrapolating will be those to most enjoy his films. So it was in 'Clerks,' and so it is in 'The flying car.'
I could do with some more shorts with these two.
