This year marks 20 years since Kevin Smith’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back hit theatres. Smith brought back many of the comedy film’s characters in 2019’s Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, including cameos from James Van Der Beek and Jason Biggs. However, there were some big names from the first film who are no longer with us, including Carrie Fisher and George Carlin. In honor of the movie’s upcoming anniversary, Smith has been sharing some throwbacks from the film’s set, including stories about all of the aforementioned actors.
2 decades ago, #CarrieFisher was a driving force in my life. Like literally, as she cinematically chauffeured me and @JayMewes! Wanna feel old? #JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack turns 20 this year!

If you still haven’t gotten your poster, @JordanMonsanto and I can make you whole. In the meantime, here’s another 20 year old pic of Biggs & Van Der Beek from #JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack, dated 1/18/2001! https://t.co/4QS8E8SvzJ pic.twitter.com/pxWQ7GAZUf
2 decades ago, I was on set with my idol. No, not @JayMewes (although I am a big fan) - I’m talking about Curious #GeorgeCarlin! The smartest man I ever met spent the day with us before flying out to Vegas for 2 shows that night. (#JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack turns 20 this year!) pic.twitter.com/Df4rQlHKtU
