What happens in Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In a rambunctious, freewheeling comedy, Cheech Marin as Cheech and Tommy Chong as Chong kick off a day that should have been ordinary but quickly spirals into a dizzying spree of mischief. The duo scheme to siphon gasoline for their neighbor’s car, a caper they insist they’ve “borrowed,” and they drift from one scene to the next with a reckless, contagious energy. Cheech heads off to a movie studio for a day of work, while Chong hunts for a roach and blasts an indoor motorcycle to earth-shaking volume, turning quiet streets into a living room-sized roar that rattles the neighborhood walls. The contrast between the two friends’ nonchalant hustle and the noisy fallout around them sets the tone for a day that refuses to follow any rules.
