Storyline

Cheech & Chong are invited to a celebrity party/festival in Amsterdam. When they get there, however, it turns out that the guy who invited them has taken off with all the money, and the rest of the hosts have a VERY limited budget. They are actually expecting Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton, so our heroes gets to be Mr. Burt and Mr. Dolly. We follow them around Amsterdam, at their hotel, (still) smokin' joints and doing shows.

More Cheech And Chong Craziness

This sequel to "Cheech And Chong's Up In Smoke" finds the drug addled duo (Richard "Cheech" Marin, Thomas Chong) wandering into a bankrupt film festival in Amsterdam. In an effort to raise funds, the duo plan a drug sale. No better or worse than any of the duo's other films together.
