Synopsis

Cheech and Chong, perpetually under the influence, race through Los Angeles, stirring up chaos in their wake. When Cheech loses his job, the pair visits the welfare office, where Cheech's girlfriend, Donna, is employed, hoping to collect unemployment benefits. Instead, they are sent back to the streets, forced to find alternative means of income. The situation becomes even more chaotic with the arrival of Cheech's cousin, "Red" Mendoza.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
