The movie is about a guy who lives in isolation and is educated by television.
There's a scene where Peter Sellers turns on the TV and watches a cartoon short. The cartoon is the sketch Basketball Jones, from Cheech and Chong's infamous Los Cochinos album.

Best Buds Update

After posting yesterday's story on the reshooting of Best Buds, we found this article from Canada's Online Explorer (Canoe) magazine which provides more detail, as well as an interview with Tommy Chong.
The article dated September 12th, 2000 states that the lawsuit against Coyote Films was settled out of court and that Tommy Chong is now in possession of the original reels. He planned on reshooting the film by the year's end (2000). The status of the proposed re-shoot is unknown.
In the article, Tommy refuses to reveal who the new Cheech is. He only says that he's a longtime friend and that his name is Francisco. As mentioned in our earlier article, we discovered that Cheech will be played by newcomer, Francisco Vasquez. He previously played a salsa dancer in a movie named Dance With Me.

Rumor: Tommy Re-Shooting Best Buds

This is an unconfirmed rumor...An anonymous source tells us that Tommy Chong has found a new Cheech and is re-shooting the never-released Best Buds film. Cheech will be played by relative newcomer, Francisco Vasquez. He previously played a salsa dancer in a movie named Dance With Me.
History...We last heard that Tommy had creative differences with Best Buds funder/director, Ken Kuramoto. Kuramoto runs a low budget film company named, Coyote Films. Tommy was unhappy with the final product and was suing Coyote Films to retreive the original reels so he could re-edit the film. If this rumor is correct, then it sounds like Tommy has taken matters into his own hands and starting from scratch.
In our opinion, Tommy Chong is a genius and we are very psyched that this film may actually see the light of day.

Found: Cheech and Chong Perform

We just got our hands on this great video that we've been relentlessly searching for. The video is Cheech and Chong Perform which contains the only commercially released footage of Cheech and Chong's stand-up act. Click on the link above to learn all about it.

Tommy Has A New Movie

Tommy Chong just wrapped up a new movie. High Times Pot Luck was directed by unknown, Alison Thompson, and written by Victor Coliccio (Summer of Sam) and Nick Iacovino. Jackie Martling from the Howard Stern Show also makes an appearance. It is currently in post-production and is expected to be released in 2001. We'll provide more info as it becomes available..
