Then professional potheads Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong teamed up for Cheech & Chong: Up In Smoke, which features the drug-addled duo on a road trip throughout California; that is to say, a road-trip they hope will culminate in finding some quality weed. Instead, a series of mishaps result in their respective deportations to Mexico. Desperate to get back to the states so they can perform in their band's gig later that night, Cheech and Chong unwittingly agree to drive a very unique car across the border -- rather than steel and various metal bits, the vehicle is constructed entirely out of marijuana. Back in the States and accompanied by two extraordinarily out-of-it female hitchhikers, the stoned group meanders about in an attempt to get their musical performance together, and narrowly escapes from local law enforcement agencies on numerous occasions despite their complete inability to realize they were being tailed to begin with. The incredibly low-budget movie surprised critics, grossed millions, spawned a series of lesser follow-up films, and cemented Cheech & Chong's cult-status among potheads across the globe.

Smoke Starter-Up
TITLE: Cheech and Chong's "Up In Smoke"
GENRE: Stoner comedy
CAST: Cheech Marrin, Tommy Chong, Stacy Keach, Tom Skerritt, Struther Martin, Edie Gorme, Zane Buzby and Ann Wharton
PLOT: None
RETURN ON INVESTMENT: 6.5 of 10; The Duo's first movie based largely on their very sucessful comedy albums, which explains why there is no plot. There is a story but everything is about the drugs, and the band and the girls and making fun of the police.
ADDED DVD BONUS: Trailers, Cut Clips, Dubbed observations by Marrin and Adler the Director and cut clip observations
by them also. Cannot understand why Chong didn't sign up to do the extra bits. Oh yeah, he's a genius.
