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
If you love this movie, you have to watch the edited version the next time it's on Comedy Central!
And I'll tell you why: whoever decided to edit this movie to make it suitable for television was very ill-advised. EVERYTHING CONCERNING DRUGS IS CUT OUT AND COVERED UP!!! How do they do it, you might ask? Well, they don't do it very well, that's for sure. Anyway, instead of the marijuana which Cheech and Chong are supposed to have in their possession, they are said to have diamonds! Still, the characters go around in a haze of marijuana smoke stoning others along their way with no explanation whatsoever!
