Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie 1980 Movie Review & Summary

It appears that Cheech and Chong “borrowed” their neighbor’s Car and proceeded with their day as normal; Cheech worked at a movie studio, and Chong searched for something to smoke before revving up an indoor motorcycle and playing extremely loud rock music with an electric guitar that disturbed the entire neighbourhood. It was Cheech who successfully seduced Donna and got her into trouble with her manager. The doped-up pair are evicted from the building and begin penning songs like “Mexican Americans” and “Beaners” in an effort to establish a new source of revenue. Red and Chong (who were captured by aliens along with Red) wake him up in the morning to discover Chong rushing in, dressed like a mix between Genghis Khan and a Viking, clutching a jar of “space coke,” to which Chong adds, “It’ll blow your head off.” Even though he’s so enthusiastic, Cheech falls asleep throughout the date, imagining what may have occurred had things gone differently.
