<P> Their early success culminated with the release of their first feature - length movie , Up in Smoke , in 1978 . It became something of a cult classic , and was also successful enough at the box office ( grossing over $44 million despite a low budget ) to warrant two sequels : Cheech and Chong 's Next Movie in 1980 , and Nice Dreams in 1981 . These were followed by the less successful Things Are Tough All Over ( 1982 ) and Still Smokin ( 1983 ) . The pair attempted a departure from their stoner comedy with 1984 's Cheech & Chong 's The Corsican Brothers . </P>
