Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe dog that took the burrito out of Man's hand was not a trained dog, but a local stray. He simply walked into frame, took the burrito, and walked away. Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong ad-libbed around this, and it was left in the movie.
- GoofsWhen Cheech and Chong are crossing the street in Mexico, someone in a passing bus flashes a peace sign at the camera.
- Quotes
Border Guard: So, how long you've been in Mexico?
Pedro: A week. I mean a day.
Border Guard: Well, which is it? A week or a day?
Pedro: A weekday.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are in the style of spray-painted graffiti, super-imposed over Pedro's low-rider.

The Definitive Cheech and Chong Film
Two stoners unknowingly smuggle a van -- made entirely of marijuana -- from Mexico to Los Angeles, with incompetent Sgt. Stedenko on their trail.
Although Cheech and Chong made several films together, they will probably always be best remembered for this one, their first. There are so many moments that have since become a part of pop culture. The use of War's "Low Rider", the smoking of the Labrador... when watching it for the first time you might feel like you have seen it before.
Those into drug culture may appreciate the film more, but being a stoner is certainly not required to laugh at the antics of these two luckless losers.
