Directed by: Tommy Chong, Lou Adler
Starring: Cheech Marin, Strother Martin, Tommy Chong, Edie Adams
Visible crew/equipment: When Chong gets into the Beetle and drives it out of the garage, the shadow of an arc light can be seen on the car.
Visible crew/equipment: When Cheech and Chong get to the border, Cheech spots some nuns in the car beside them. Watch closely in the window of the van when Cheech is looking at the nuns. You can see a man standing there looking at something and then looking at the van. This man wasn't standing there when there was a wide shot of the scenery. (00:44:45)
Revealing mistake: When Cheech and Chong are parked in their car smoking a joint, the car is filled with smoke. The smoke must come from a smoke machine outside as it is moving around very fast as if blown by the wind. (00:13:25)
Curtis: This shit is so bad, it'll put a hump on a camel's back.
Question: During the Battle of the Bands near the end of the film, a band with a singer who sounds like and somewhat resembles Joey Ramone performs a song called "So Socko" (or possibly "So Psycho"). I've heard some people insist that it was, in fact, Joey Ramone in an uncredited role, but it doesn't really look like him and doesn't have Joey's stage presence, i.e, standing still throughout the performance as opposed to moving about the stage. So who was the actual singer for this particular band?

Answer: The lead singer is Rick Wilder. The band is credited as "Berlin Brats" (The Groups). The song is called "Psychotic", or sometimes listed as " (I'm) Psychotic", but it seems the middle part was cut out for the film or maybe arranged differently for the film.
