Clerks: The Lost Scene is a short film from the Clerks X DVD, in the style of Clerks: The Animated Series, showing the events that resulted in Dante and Randal being chased from the wake of Julie Dwyer. As writer-director Kevin Smith explains in the introduction to the scene on the DVD, it had originally been written for the Clerks film, but was not filmed due to budgetary restraints. The short was animated by Austin based Powerhouse Animation Studios, Inc.
The scene was first published in 1998 in comic book form.
View Askew Productions new logo made its first appearance in the end credits of this film.
Julie Dwyer's death is fist mentioned in Clerks (1994) (which is why Dante and Randal are at the funeral parlor in the lost scene) and is used as a running joke in Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy (1997) and Clerks II (2006)
