Trivia:

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: When Chong is urinating out of the open bathroom window, the camera pulls back slightly and reveals that the "pee" is actually water running from a sponge being held just off frame. The crew member holding the trickling garden hose quickly pulls his hand out of frame, but not fast enough.

Quotes:

[to a girl on the phone]
Cheech: You wanna come over to my place? Okay. I'll be here with balls on.

Another funny but dumb C&C flick

Second of Cheech and Chongs drug trilogy is easily the worst of the 3, but not incredibly bad, with guaranteed laughs for fans of the duo. As with the other movies, the story is almost non-existent, and just there to provide the basis for a lot of gags and laughs. Fans will definitely enjoy this one as well, however as I said, probably the worst of the 3.
