Press Release: Up In Smoke: High-Larious Edition



New DVD Will Satisfy Every Craving September 4, 2007 Featuring New Interviews with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, Deleted Scenes, Vintage Radio Spots and Much More

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – It’s time to fire up the DVD player and invite your buds over to your place because the UP IN SMOKE High-Larious Edition DVD is lighting up September 4, 2007 from Paramount Home Entertainment. Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong made their feature film debut in this outrageously funny classic inspired by their now legendary comedy routines of the early ‘70s. Following massive success with over 10 million comedy albums sold, Cheech and Chong took Hollywood by storm when UP IN SMOKE became a smash hit, establishing the pair as the reigning comedy duo of a new generation. In UP IN SMOKE they play out of work stoners who unwittingly smuggle a van made of marijuana from Mexico to L.A. Their drug-laced humor keeps their spirits high as they unknowingly elude the police and meander their way to an outrageous finale at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood where Cheech performs in a pink tutu and Chong dresses as a large red Quaalude. The UP IN SMOKE High-Larious Edition DVD is loaded with special features including new interviews with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, commentary by Marin and director Lou Adler, Roach Clips (deleted scenes) with optional commentary, “Lighting Up—A Look Back at UP IN SMOKE”, “Earache My Eye”, an animated music video featuring Alice Bowie, Cheech & Chong’s “The Man Song”, two vintage radio spots and the original theatrical trailer.
