Clerks was orginally given the NC17 by the MPAA but Miramax sued, hiring Alan Dershowitz. The rating was changed to R prior to opening without having to alter one frame or word from the final cut.

The MPAA originally gave Clerks. an NC-17 rating, based purely on the film's explicit dialogue — it contains no real violence, and no clearly depicted nudity. This was a financial death sentence, as very few cinemas in the United States will screen NC-17 films. Miramax hired civil liberties lawyer Alan Dershowitz to appeal the decision; the MPAA relented and re-rated the film with the more commercial 'R' rating, without altering a single frame or word.
