Editorial Review:
Packed with stars including Ben Affleck (GOOD WILL HUNTING), Chris Rock (NURSE BETTY), Shannon Elizabeth (AMERICAN PIE), Jason Lee (ALMOST FAMOUS), and more, this wildly irreverent comedy is actor/director Kevin Smith's hilarious finale to the adventures of Jay and Silent Bob that began in CLERKS and ran through MALLRATS, CHASING AMY, and DOGMA! When best buddies Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith) discover that a major motion picture is being based on their likenesses, they head for Hollywood to claim the big movie money they deserve. But when the dopey duo learn that they've been cut out of the cash, they set out to sabotage the flick at all costs! Featuring a host of celebrity cameos set to a hot hit soundtrack, Jay and Silent Bob's raucous cross country road trip is a crash course in the rules of the road with a nonstop assortment of outrageous characters that will have you laughing out loud!
Description of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Dimension Collector's Series):
With sidesplitting dialogue and rampant profanity, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back reunites Kevin Smith's dynamic duo in supreme lowbrow style. It's the fifth comedy in Smith's celebrated New Jersey "trilogy." Here Quick-Stop potheads Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith) wreak vengeance on Hollywood, where Miramax is making a "Bluntman & Chronic" feature inspired by J. and S.B., but without their permission. En route from Jersey to La La Land, Jay and his "hetero life mate" encounter sexy jewel thieves (including the delightful Shannon Elizabeth), a precocious orangutan, a dimwit wildlife marshal (Will Ferrell), and a nonstop parade of in-jokes, harmless (yet controversial) gay jokes, and splendid celebrity cameos. While gently biting the Miramax hand that feeds him, and paying affectionate homage to the Star Wars saga, Smith sheds all inhibitions to give Jay and Silent Bob a stellar sendoff that's nasty, sassy, and undeniably hilarious. --Jeff Shannon
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Dimension Collector's Series) Reviews:
Hollywood Get HAMMERED! 
2009-10-23 - A good sequel to DOGMA as explained in the "back story." It seems the folks associated with DOGMA got death threats after making the movie. AND yet, there WERE folks that wanted MORE of Jay and Silent Bob. THIS film was the result. A hilarious look at Hollywood in a film that seems the LAST we may hear of these two "folks." And it was CLEARLY shown that "Silent Bob" is ONLY a screen persona, as Kevin Smith the actor/director is a VASTLY different personality.
Great Movie
2009-09-30 - This is my favorite movie of all time.

Kevin Smith's Stoner Picture
2009-09-28 - A Jay and Silent Bob movie? Who would pay to see that?
Kevin Smith proved that these side characters can indeed carry their own movie. The plot is preposterous, the characters cliche, and the cameos rife... but it works. Smith created a world with this movie that doesn't have the same restraints as his others. What other movie could have Ben Affleck playing both himself, AND his Chasing Amy character?
Speaking of which, the movie does contain loads of inside jokes, and while you don't HAVE to have seen Smith's previous films, it certainly helps in appreciating all of the humor.
This movie is a blast, and it really speaks for itself. Just a ridiculous, fun ride with the now-iconic Jay and Silent Bob.
Is This Really An HD Transfer?? 
2009-06-10 - This is one of my favorite comedies of recent years, so I picked up this Blu-Ray edition recently. A little ways into viewing, I decided to compare with the standard DVD version. I'm disappointed to say that, I really don't see any significant difference. I compared a couple of different scenes, notably the early scene in the comic book shop, which offers alot of detail in the background, etc. I honestly wonder if this truly a 1080p transfer, especially since this is a relatively recent movie. I did a similar comparison with my Poltergeist Blu-Ray disc (a film made in 1982), and the difference is obvious.....
This, combined with the fact that this release has none of the great special features on the standard DVD except one commentary, make this particular Blu-Ray disc somewhat of a misfire in my opinion. If you have the standard DVD, I would save your money.
Oh, and in case anyone cares, I'm viewing on the new Panasonic DMP BD60 Blu Ray player, on a Samsung 50" DLP set. Pretty much all my other Blu-Ray discs are looking fantastic.
Anyway, I still give this review 4 stars, since the movie is so great, in my opinion. Packed with laughs, and much more intelligent humor than in many recent comedies of this genre (OK, quite a bit of moronic, base bathroom humor as well!) It's all good.....cheers!
Hilarious
2009-05-16 - Jay and silent bob are hilarious! Even better in HD, however I was ticked off that there were no special features on this disc, likw most of the blu-rays I have, it's crap... Great movie though.
