...most drug addicted people portray, Cheech and Chong are very rarely violent as they are permanently 'stoned' and are incapable of fighting, they have a simple, relaxed way of life. The film starts by introducing the two characters to the audience. Chong, (who's character name Antony Stoner is mentioned only once, then he is only known as ' Man') comes from a good American family. He is an unemployed hippie who has a laid back attitude to life and ...

Review of Cheech And Chong's Up In Smoke (DVD)

...may be in order. Cheech and Chong started off doing sketch shows on American Television in the 70’s and went on to record comedy albums starring their most memorable characters. Their brand of comedy attained a cult following, much like todays Fast Show, only it focused on darker subjects that the media didn’t want to touch in those days, Cannabis being the main item on their comic agenda. Up in Smoke sees Richard “Cheech” ...
...get the DVD imported from the USA, as it features another 20 minutes of very funny deleted scenes, some of which feature characters from the Cheech and Chong stage show of the 70’s. In summary, this film isn’t to everybody’s taste – but if you can dig it, do so! ...

Review of Cheech And Chong's Up In Smoke (DVD)

...first in the collection by Cheech and Chong. It is about two stoners who are in search of dope, who end up being deported because immigration thinks that they are in the States illegally. Whilst in Mexico they pick up a job, which is a car made entirely out of Marijuana, and they are to bring it into the States. The duo unknowingly smuggle the marijuana van into the States. But things are never straight forward with Man and Pedro. They decided to ...
...still enjoy the humour of Cheech and Chong. A lot of the music used in the movie is done by Cheech and Chong themselves, as before they made their movie debut in this movie, they sold millions of records. The movie is so funny that it has you laughing from beginning to end, but it has you laughing out loud and by the end of the movie, you will be in pain from laughing too much. Quite an achievement for two stoners and their stoner antics. ...

Review of Cheech And Chong's Up In Smoke (DVD)

...and an unemployed Mexican American? Cheech and Chong! Surprisingly, these two social outcasts have never really become household names over here like they have in the good old US of A. Chances are you will have seen Cheech Marin in one of the many minor appearances that he has appeared in (the mexican security guard in Ghostbusters for example) without even realizing who he is. Its a shame that they haven't taken off in this country, because they ...
...It all starts off when Cheech goes for a drive in his "Love Machine" and picks up a hitch-hiker with large breasts who turns out to be... Chong! Surprise surprise. The two new found amigos soon find out they share a common love- marijuana. They then embark on a drug fuelled adventure, ultimately leading to them unknowingly smuggling a van made entirely out of marijuana from Tijuana back into the US. It seems that one of the most tried and tested ...
