Trivia
According to Tommy Chong and various sources, this movie made more money on a second-run on double-bill with Les Blues Brothers (1980) than it did on its first release. Interestingly, Paul Reubens appears in both films.

Goofs
In 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.

Quotes
Cheech (singing): Mexican Americans / love education / so they go to night school / and take Spanish / and get a B.

Crazy credits
The music was played just a second before the Universal logo appeared.

Alternate versions
In 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.

Second film starring the Cheech and Chong duo.

Cheech & Chong's Next Movie (1980) was the second film to star to pot loving duo of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. The lovable burn out smokers are now roommates. They live in a condemned building looking for ways to score more smoke and just lay about all day. But Cheech is the "responsible" one. He has a job and a steady girlfriend. One day, Cheech wants to get his freak on so he tries to get Chong out of the house. Another problem arises as well, Cheech's brother "Red" (Cheech is another role) is in town and wants to hang with him. Firguring that he could kill two birds with one stone, Cheech pawns Chong off and Red. What kind of adventures will Chong and Red get into? Will Cheech get his freak on? How long will Chong go without some smoke? Just watch CHEECH & CHONG'S NEXT MOVIE to find out!!

Tommy Chong takes over the directorial reigns for the sequel. He received some experience when he did some uncredited work on UP IN SMOKE. Funny but not as good as the first film. But Cheech and Chong fans will enjoy it. Followed by NICE DREAMS.

Recommended.
