Kevin Smith:
[star wars]
After meeting with Bethany, Jay says "It's like I'm Han, you're Chewie, she's Ben Kenobi and we're in that fucked-up bar!" The scene transitions are done in the same way as the Star Wars movies, wiping instead of just cutting to the next scene.
The "shit Golgotha" quotes William Shakespeare's Macbeth when he says "No man of woman born". In the play Macbeth this is said in his vision with the Weird Sisters.
At the beginning of the re-dedication ceremony, the Cardinal is standing on the steps to the church and the trees are full of white blossoms. However, when the angels start to wreak havoc, the trees have their leaves. Clearly, this scene was filmed over several weeks... probably spanning late April to late May.
