Black Carl Weintraub as Hotel Cop Lupe M. Ontiveros as Old Lady Release Television edit The television edit of the film, in addition to being edited for content such as the removal of all sequences in which characters are seen smoking cannabis, contained many extended and additional scenes, and alternate dialogue, as well as a different music score. The opening credits animated sequence was different from the theatrical cut, showing Cheech and Chong stealing their neighbor's car, which runs out of gas. It also features a theme song which didn't appear in the theatrical cut. After the opening credits, there is a scene which did not appear in the theatrical cut establishing that extraterrestrials have come to Earth looking for diamonds, "the principle source of energy" on the planet Asp. After Cheech and Chong siphon gas for their neighbor's car, insert shots underneath the hood are seen, showing the gas leaking and then igniting into flames, rather than the explosion being caused by Chong lighting a match inside the car. Cheech and Chong are said to be running a teen center and playground, which is referenced throughout the television edit, and a sign for it is shown repeatedly. Cheech and Chong's neighbor is shown to have a job as a piano teacher, and a lesson he is giving to a neighborhood teenager is interrupted by Chong's guitar playing. After the prop slot machine Cheech stole from a movie set falls on the neighbor, and they lift it off him, he threatens to sue them, claiming that the prop injured his hands, which would prevent him from playing the piano as part of his job, but offers to call off the lawsuit if Cheech and Chong let him have the rare costumes Cheech stole from the movie studio. Instead of teaching Chong the phrase "hey, pendejo", the line is redubbed as "hey, paisano". After Cheech sends Chong to pick up Red at the hotel so Cheech can spend the evening with Donna, there is an additional scene of Cheech cleaning the house, and Chong attempts to steal the neighbor's car again while he is working on it, but decides to hitchhike instead when he realizes that the neighbor was underneath the car. While cleaning, Cheech is interrupted by Jehovah's witnesses, and slams the door in their face. When he's calling the police, the hotel receptionist's line "Look, I think they're Iranians!"
