On This Day: May 6, 1983 - Still Smokin Premieres in Theaters
On this day May 6, 1983, Cheech and Chong’s comedy film Still Smokin premiered in theaters. Directed by Tommy Chong, the movie blended sketch comedy with a loose storyline that followed the duo as they were mistakenly invited to an international film festival in Amsterdam.

The film featured stand up bits, musical performances, and classic stoner humor that defined Cheech and Chong’s comedy style. Still Smokin earned 15.5 million dollars at the box office and became another cult hit in the pair’s lineup of counterculture comedies.

Fun fact: Most of the film was shot on location in Amsterdam, giving it a unique vibe that set it apart from their earlier movies and added to its cult appeal.
