I'd imagine the politically incorrect nature of the movie might be setting it back at least somewhat. There are several lines with racially insensitive language, etc that you just wouldn't hear in a movie today. No way a film like that could attain a PG rating these days.

Ugh that infuriates me as well that politics are preventing films from being released these days. Its just a nightmare. I worry that one of my all time favorite films Toy Soldiers (which isn't Paramount but Sony which is still bad) won't get a blu ray due to politics because it deals with Terrorists taking over a school.

It has nothing to do with that. Paramount simply don't release catalogue titles on blu-ray anymore, and they pretty much don't licence to indy labels either (Kino's agreement precludes them from releasing anything that Paramount put out on DVD themselves, so that rules out anything good). They have so many great films languishing in limbo.

Strawman IMO, Disney is the only studio I've seen sitting on releases of offensive old movies, and only to a certain extent with those. Fantasia having part of it chopped out I believe happened a long time ago, and then it's what - Song of the South? Some old cartoons? I forget. But yes, they're moderately guilty of it. Peter Pan getting through just fine shows they're not totally fascist.

Practically every movie from the eighties and earlier would be censored if things were like what you're saying here. Things like say, Goldfinger or Sixteen Candles would never have been released again. No one's sitting on squat to avoid offending the PC brigade. With NEW movies, sure.

EDIT: Thought of another example of a movie being sat on for "offensiveness:" The Devils. Though that's not PC types being offended, it's religious people, especially Catholics. And I think it's some studio head that's doing it.

Yes these guys were hilarious back in the day, and still to this day these movies hold up very well as raunchy, funny ass comedies. I was a fan of Cheech and Chong long before they made the movies, listening to them on records/albums. Would love to see their catalog on Blu-ray.

Hysterical movie!

I was working as an usher when we got Cheech & Chong's Next Movie the Saturday night before it's release for a sneak preview. The theater was packed! At the time, I don't remember any other movie getting massive laughs like that except for Animal House, The Jerk and the 70s Mel Brooks' films.

That scene in the unemployment office is classic.

OLIVE released "SERIAL" and that was released on DVD by Paramount. I'm sure there are others.

No. 1900 (Novecento) is the ONLY Paramount title that Olive has released on blu-ray that was previously released on DVD by Paramount.

Serial was released on DVD by Legend Films, not Paramount.

OOPS! I stand corrected.

I'm in the minority that I actually prefer the 2nd movie to the first. I saw the first two movies during their original theatrical runs both in packed theaters are everyone laughed their asses off. Although it's wildly uneven, and Cheech playing the "Red" character was supremely annoying, the.... ermmm, highs reach funnier heights and this movie introduced a number of scene stealing future big name comedians like Paul Reubens, Phil Hartman and Edie McClurg (who has the most infectuous laugh in film history).

I saw Cheech and Chong do a short half hour bit preceeding Cheap Trick and Van Halen's outdoor festival sets on consecutive nights in early 1979 and one of the bits was a embryonic version of the "Mexican Americans" tune.

It would be nice if the altered and cut scenes from the tv version are included at least as extras and the original dialog and music from the original theatrical version is restored.

Kamdan · 03-05-2017, 06:13 PM

The latest release of Next Movie bundled with Born in East L.A. had the original music intact.

MJD64 · 03-05-2017, 06:39 PM

I would think Shout would be attentive to retaining/restoring theatrical dialogue/music for this release; Their restoring "I Love The Night Life" to the Scream double-feature release on Love At First Bite was commendable and shows their attention to such detail.

Cabanon · 06-01-2017, 11:56 PM

considering it's the only C&C movie I've ever seen and it's been over 15 years since I've since it, man it's gonna be a day 1 buy for me. perfect for a father's day present (i'll know my wife 'bout it hahaha)

LastRide · 06-02-2017, 12:24 AM

It is about time something is happening on the Cheech & Chong front. I thought the first 2 were great and Things Are Tough All Over wasn't too bad even though it had less to do with dope. I would love to see Born In The East LA on Blu.The new animated movie was pretty funny.

"I got burning baby all over me."

I can't wait to see the new transfer next week.

"This is the real thing this time. C'mon please, there's two crazies in here tearing up the place."

I just compared the Shout Factory blu-ray of Cheech and Chong's Next Movie to the Universal DVD and the Shout is a definite upgrade. A lot of specks and debris are gone. Lots more detail and a clearer image. Colors look great and the audio is louder and much clearer. The pic below is the reverse artwork.

Wow Great news! I own Double Feature with Born in East LA DVD and one day for me

Up in Smoke coming out 40 years next year and hopefully Paramount put 40th Anniversary Blu-ray. Also want more of Cheech & Chong's movie and Born in East LA on Blu-ray too.

hobbs47 · 06-14-2017, 12:44 PM

This disc looks great for anyone on the fence about purchasing. Great comedy!

Partyslammer · 06-15-2017, 04:29 AM

I'm not a big slip cover junkie but I thought it was odd "Where The Buffalo Roam" which is in the same Shout Select line got a slip and this one didn't.

The line is hit and miss with slipcovers. Car Wash did not come with one either.
