New Low Price on Things are Tough All Over DVD

Cheech & Chong's legendary film, Things are Tough All Over, has a great new price.  $8.99!!

This is the first time they’ve appeared on the screen in dual roles. Tommy Chong plays Prince Habib, a maniacal Arab, as well as the famous spaced-out wanderer. Richard "Cheech" Marin is Habib’s wily brother, Mr. Slyman, in addition to his usual role. They're hired by Slyman and Habib to drive a limousine from Chicago to Las Vegas, with $5 million secretly stashed in the front seat. In order to get there, the pair sell off the car piece by piece. Cheech and Chong then have a much bigger problem – Slyman and Habib are after them, swearing to kill them, after the appropriate torture. Not one of their more well-known movies, but definitely one of the funniest.

The song Me and My Old Lady made it's debut in this film.  The song was actually written by Gaye Delorme.  Gaye also wrote Earache My Eye.  Not Tommy, as Tommy often claims.
