Factoids: 1. On the train when Silent Bob grabs Bartleby, he yells, Schueler Bob? I'll get you for this Schueler Bob! Ben Affleck ad-libbed the line, much to the amusement of the cast and crew, intending it to be Silent Bob in German. Kevin Smith left it in even though Schueler is actually German for pupil. 2. When Azrael is urging Silent Bob to use the golf club on him, he repeats lines from The Howling: Go ahead, take it. Consider it a gift. Take it, bright boy. 3. Bartleby says, "Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." This is a quote from the title sequence of the TV series "The Incredible Hulk." 4. After God heals Bethany, Metatron says, She can rebuld you, She has the technology. She can make you better, stronger, faster... , a reference to the "The Six Million Dollar Man." 5. Jay and Silent Bob state that they were on a search for the fictional town of Shermer, Illinois, referenced in John Hughes's movies. Rufus later reveals a secret from Bethany's past about a boy named Brian Johnson, which is the same name as a character from the John Hughes film The Breakfast Club set in Shermer. 6. Silent Bob is seen reading USA Today. Kevin Smith met his wife while she was interviewing him for an article she was writing for USA Today. 7. When Rufus falls out of the sky and reads that message from Jesus, he says it is written in Aramaic. Aramaic is written from right to left but he read it left to right like as if it was written in English. (IMDB, Moviemistakes)
