Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Changed "Up in Smoke was Cheech and Chong's first feature-length film, released in 1978." to "Up in Smoke, directed by Lou Adler, was Cheech and Chong's first feature-length film, released in 1978 by Paramount. It stars Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Edie Adams, Strother Martin and Stacy Keach"Alf 20:37, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I added the film stub code because I really don't think that there's enough info here to qualify as a complete article. There's still a lot to be said about the making of and critical reception and the film's financial success. The plot summary is the longest part of the article, really. ::shrugs:: (Ibaranoff24 04:32, 11 November 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Plot detail error?

One minor point of contention. The page currently states that "Pedro's uncle's upholstery shop, which is really a marijuana marketing plant", however from my viewing of the film it appears that the upholstery shop Pedro and Man pick up the van from is in fact not Pedro's uncle's shop, but one just up the street. This is implied by the fact that when on the phone Pedro records the address as being "1811", but when retreiving the note with the address on it from Man, reads it as 1817.

[edit] Changed "coerced" to "tricked"

Intro paragraph read: "Tommy Chong...manages to coerce Pedro (Cheech) into picking him up off the side of a highway by posing as a woman with large breasts." I just changed "coerced" to "tricked." When you COERCE someone, you use force or threats against that person to get him/her to do something. Chong does not coerce Cheech, he tricks him, which is different.
