American director Kevin Smith spoke to The Feed's Marc Fennell in a wide-ranging interview, where Smith revealed he thinks Clerks II is a better film than Clerks.
"Clerks is a punk rock song. It’s a call to arms. It makes you want to make some art. You look at Clerks and you go, oh, I can do that. It's about something we all do, which is hang out and talk to our friends," Smith said.
"It was the internet before the internet happened, and stuff. So you look at that movie and it makes you go, 'I could totally do that', and that's why I love that movie. But Clerks II is a better film. Clerks II, at that point in my career, was the absolute best I could be."
However, out of all of his films Smith thinks Tusk is his best.
"Tusk. That walrus movie. That, to me, is like, sublime... When people would attack Clerks or Chasing Amy, that was being attacked personally, because that was my life through different characters. Tusk has nothing to do with me other than 'this was some weird shit I just thought up'...it's a movie that nobody else could have made."
