''Clerks'' is a 1994 comedy film that helped put Kevin Smith's name on the map. The movie was shot entirely in black and white and was known for having a very thin plot. The film remains mostly intact, except for '''one lost scene''' that has left fans searching for many years.
''Clerks'' is a 1994 comedy film directed by Kevin Smith. The film involves two clerks, Dante Hicks and Randal Graves, showing a day in their lives as, well, clerks. The whole film was shot on a budget, having been known for being in black and white.
'''One missing scene''' from the film involves Randal looking through the Big Choice video store in much more detail.

The scene in question involves Randal looking through the Big Choice video store in much more detail. The audio survived, but the video is now lost as Smith claims to have burned the film by complete accident. Thankfully, the scene is not vital to the rest of the movie, and was only there to help add to the comedy.
On the ''Clerks'' 10th Anniversary Edition DVD, there was a documentary about the film that attempted a reconstructed version of the scene, using the original audio and screen captures of the entire montage. Due to the film's accidental burning, however, the scene's video may be lost forever.
 
==Aftermath==
The original scene has never surfaced and the chances of it ever seeing the light of day are very slim as there are no other known copies of the footage in existence.
 
However, on the ''Clerks'' 10th Anniversary Edition DVD, there was a documentary about the film that attempted a reconstructed version of the scene, using the original audio and screen captures of the entire montage.
 
==Trivia==
Another scene of note is the one that involves Randal and Dante going into the funeral and knocking over the coffin. This scene was never shot, as it would have cost too much to rent and shoot in the funeral home. It was finally created via animation and released on the 10th anniversary DVD.
 
Yet another notable scene is the original intended ending where Dante gets shot and killed by a robber. This scene was cut from the final film, being seen as too dark for such a light-hearted comedy. The ending is still in circulation and can easily be found on YouTube and other sites.
