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.

Featured review
Another one of the funniest films of the 1970's
This 1979 Paramount release introduced the controversial radio comedians Richard "Cheech" Marin and Thomas Chong to the screen for the first of six major film teamings and cameos together in several other films. This first teaming is the best teaming. The duo portray stoners who travel together on a road trip down to Tijuana on a mission to pick up a fresh new drug supply. However, they're being pursued by frantic cops all the way. A cult spoof classic and a film that began a new kind of wacky film comedy.
