Goofs
(at around 33 mins) When Cheech is trying to start the ice cream truck, someone's arm becomes visible, nobody is shown before or after this scene.

Quotes
Chong: Hey, how much money do we have now?
Cheech: All together?
Chong: Yeah, all together?
Cheech: Let's see, mmm, uh, oh man! We have 17 million dollars!
Chong: Really?
Cheech: Oh wait, well um, 17, something. Who cares, were rich, man.

Alternate versions
Some versions delete the scene with Chong and Donna while Cheech hangs from the balcony. The scene jumps from when Cheech first goes over the railing to when he is trying to manuever his way to the elevator. Missing is when he discovers that the man at the door is Chong, that the patio door is now locked and what Chong and Donna do with the ice.

Happy Herb

Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin are selling happy herbs out of their dumpy ice cream truck pursued by bumbling cops. Sgt. Stedanko (Stacy Keach) has turned into a drug fiend testing out different strains of marijuana which is transforming him into a lizard.

Cheech and Chong do their antics. I love their little bits like Cheech burning falafels. They do some silent era comedy. The story meanders around. The bumbling cops are really stupid without being funny. Stacy Keach gets weird and that's weirdly interesting. It has an Edith Prickley character but doesn't have Andrea Martin to play it. It has Pee-wee Herman before he's Pee-wee Herman. Despite a few funny bits, the movie has no direction or flow. It's weirdly wacky and partaking would definitely help in its enjoyment.
