In 1978 Paramount Pictures released the first in a series of iconic and culturally hysterical films. The first; Up In Smoke. Enjoy.
Plot: So here we have Pedro (Cheech Marin), a vocalist in a non-de-script band who happens upon a wandering 'Man' (Tommy Chong), who happens to have left his rich parents house in a stoner haze, with his broken down Beetle car- complete with Rolls Royce grill and a rather large joint in his possession...and so begins a journey that includes confused cops (Stacy Keach- Escape from L.A.), a relative with flash-backs to the Vietnam war (Tom Skeritt- Top Gun, Alien, Space Camp), punk rock gigging and a van made entirely of marijuana that they happened to pick up in Tijuana after being inextricably deported.
With a brief description live that, how can you not watch and love this film?!
Budget: $?
Gross: $44,364,244
Fun Fact: Random appearances that you will not notice include Ellen Barkin and Harry Dean Stanton. The film was also banned in South America, due to it's believed capability to influence the youth to take up smoking.
