Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Tommy Chong and various sources, this movie made more money on a second-run on double-bill with The Blues Brothers (1980) than it did on its first release. Interestingly, Paul Reubens appears in both films.
- GoofsIn the scene where Red and Chong walk into the music store, Chong picks up a Fender Stratocaster and starts playing. The camera cuts around the store and, when it cuts back to Chong, he is suddenly playing a Gibson Les Paul.
- Crazy creditsThe music was played just a second before the Universal logo appeared.
- Alternate versionsIn the "Diamonds" TV edit, the scene with the stolen slot machine is significantly lengthened. The scene shows Mr. Neatnik (Sy Kramer) being inadvertently squashed by the slot machine when it falls out of the van, and Cheech and Chong eventually pulling it off of him. He sits up and cries, "My hands! My hands!" The theatrical version ends there. The TV version continues on, with Neatnik actually following the duo into their house and yelling about pressing charges before he notices all of the movie memorabilia that Cheech has stolen from the movie studio. Neatnik proceeds to identify the various garments and which actresses wore them in which film, swooning over each one. Cheech and Chong largely ignore him until he states he is willing to drop the charges if they will let him have the garments (which sets up a later TV-exclusive scene revealing him to be a transvestite); Cheech dismissively agrees and Neatnik helps himself. The scene ends there.

Featured review
A good solution for today's expensive gasoline ...
A typical romp through Cheech and Chong's reality which includes drugs, singing, more drugs, cars and driving, even more drugs, Pee Wee, aliens, gasoline, laundry, stand up comedy, surprisingly more drugs and SPACE COKE !!. It is not as coherent or plausible as Up in Smoke but it still is incredibly funny, without becoming as strange as Nice Dreams. There are some classic scenes, which include the opening scene where they get some gas for their car and the drive to work. Also funny is Cheech's song (Mexican-Americans) and Chong's follow up song. Another notable scene is the welfare office scene with Jones (human noise machine), from the Police Academy series, and the old laughing man. All in all, this is a great follow up to Up in Smoke and is quite watchable when sober or not.
