JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK
ANIMATRONICS | PUPPETS | PROPS | COSTUMES
Starring Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, and Ben Affleck, ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’ puts best buddies Jay and Silent Bob on a journey to Hollywood to claim the big movie money they deserve after discovering that a major motion picture is being based on their likenesses. But when the dopey duo learn that they’ve been cut out of the cash, they set out to sabotage the flick at all costs.
While working on this Miramax production, Paul built Animatronics for apes, an orangutan suit for a 10-year-old stuntman (stuntkid?), three versions of Scooby Doo, and a giant fist for Mark Hamill’s character “Cock-knocker”. Such is the life on a Kevin Smith movie.
