Continuity mistake: When Silent Bob renders the demon disabled by using the anti-odour spray, you see him take the spray out of his coat and spray with his thumb. However, it cuts to a front view, and he is clearly seen using his index finger. It then cuts to Bob's rear, and he is, again, spraying with his thumb.

Plot summary
Directed by: Kevin Smith
Starring: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Salma Hayek, Alan Rickman, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, Kevin Smith, Janeane Garofalo, Linda Fiorentino, Jason Mewes, George Carlin
Two fallen angels, Loki and Bartleby, are trying to get back into heaven. However, their method of choice results in the destruction of all human life. A direct descendant of Christ, Bethany, is contacted by Metatron who tells her of the situation. She is the only one that can stop Loki and Bartleby from destroying all humanity. They are helped by Rufus, the thirteenth apostle and by prophets, Jay and Silent Bob. A demon named Azarael is working against them however.
Metatron: Any documented occasion where some yahoo claims God has spoken to them, they're speaking of me. Or they're talking to themselves.
Trivia: When Jay drags Bethany behind the PA equipment and says that she'd agree to sleep with him if it was the end of the world, he pulls out a condom. If it's the end of the world, and existence is going to be undone, why bother with a condom? [It's a gag, rather than a mistake in the film. Worth keeping as trivia though.]
Question: How do Bartleby and Loki know Rufus? They haven't been in Heaven since they were expelled after killing all the first born sons of Egypt, which happened during Moses' time. Rufus died two years after Christ died and went straight to Heaven. Christ lived and died hundreds of years after Moses. So, presumably, Bartleby and Loki were in Wisconsin when Rufus went to Heaven. How would they recognize him?

Answer: In a scene shortly before, Azrael was telling them about the last scion being sent after them. After that scene cut, he could have mentioned that she had an Apostle with her. That, and, Bartleby was a 'Watcher' Angel (a Gregoriate if I remember correctly), and he can see into people's pasts.
