The second film release from the comedy duo of Cheech and Chong. Released in US theaters on July 18, 1980.  Written by Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin, and directed by Tommy Chong, "Cheech and Chongs Next Movie" was considered by many as far superior to their initial offer “Up In Smoke”, despite not meeting the same box office success as it’s predecessor.

"Cheech & Chong's Next Movie" opens with the two aging stoners stealing gas in a trashcan, spilling it on themselves, and subsequently blowing up their car after trying to light a joint with gasoline fumes filling the vehicle. The rest of the film centers on Cheech wanting to get together with a social worker he likes, and wants the place to himself in order to seduce her. Another problem for Cheech is his cousin Red, who has just turned up from the stix and needs to be shown around town (Los Angeles). Cheech decides to kill two birds with one stone by sending Chong to meet his cousin. Chong heads off to the hotel where Red is staying and arrives to find him in a dispute with the receptionist (played by Paul Reubens) over how much the room is costing. The receptionist won't give back Red's suitcase until he pays up, but Red can't afford the bill. They decide to break into the room round the back and Red throws down his luggage. One of the bags he throws down contains twenty pounds of cannabis, much to Chong's delight. They proceed to go on a bender around town, trashing a music shop and visiting a high-profile brothel. Afterwards they visit Red's Weed fields out in the countryside, whereupon they are abducted by aliens, along with several cannabis plants. Cheech meanwhile gets so pumped and excited about the date that he wears himself out and ends up sleeping through it, while dreaming about what might have happened. He wakes up in the morning to find Chong bursting in, dressed as what appears to be a cross between Genghis Khan and a stoner, holding a jar of "Space Coke", which makes you fly when you snort it. The film ends with the two bursting through their next door neighbor's roof into outer space after trying some.
