Two boys, Pedro (Richard “Cheech” Marin) and Man (Tommy Chong) search for some marijuana to aid them in the formation of a pop group, and the trail leads them to LA. In pursuit is narcotics detective Sgt Stedenko (Stacy Keach).
Keach displays a real gift for comedy and has a ball as Sergeant Stedenko, the deranged narcotics squad cop on their trail – who uses confiscated stash and starts becoming a lizard (!) – while the van made of cannabis is a hoot. Cheech and Chong’s marijuana-laced humour keeps their spirits high and leads them to an outrageous finale at LA’s Roxy Theatre.
Cheech and Chong make their film debut in this riotous rock’n’roll comedy, bringing with them the same madness, lifestyles and sketches that sold over 10 million records in the early 1970s.
The pair made a surprisingly successful transition to the big screen, making six movies together, all essential viewing for students around the world. But if you only ever watch one Cheech and Chong movie, make it this one.
