In Cheech and Chongs Up In Smoke, 2 stoners (Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong) discover that they are fellow musicians and agree to jam together. Before long, they are pulled over, arrested and miraculously escape jail time!
Then they meet insane Vietnam Vet Cousin Strawberry (Tom Skerritt), several bizarre partiers, and a nemesis in the form of Sergant Stedenko (Stacy Keach), in a brilliant over the top performance. Up In Smoke climaxes with a battle of the bands at the Roxy, where we are treated to classic US new wave bands the Berlin Brats, The Dils, and The Whores!
This film was banned by the South African Publications Control Board for because it might encourage the impressionable youth of South Africa to take up marijuana smoking. :)
What can I say? Awesome movie, reminded me of my mis-spent youth on so any levels! I laughed long and loud!
I collect DVDs, we have over 3,000 titles in the house now! I buy most from Car Boot Sales,Poundshops, markets, sales, and greatly reduced from the internet, but I only buy what I want to watch! I do a short report when I watch them, I got rid of almost 800 titles at Christmas 2010 (low score, duplicates, ones I'd never watch etc.) I continue to wade through them, and appear to be buying slightly less, but still watching like mad :)
