Nice Dreams was Cheech and Chong's third feature-length film, released in 1981 by Paramount. It stars Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong (director), Paul Reubens, Stacy Keach, Evelyn Guerrero and Timothy Leary.

Plot

Having stolen a large amount of experimental marijuana, Cheech and Chong decide to make a fortune by selling dope-infused ice cream from their truck, which they name Nice Dreams. Business is good and introduces them to a variety of freaks and weirdos. While Sgt. Stedanko slowly turns into a lizard (a side-effect of smoking the secret recipe dope), the pair meet a coke-snorting mental patient (Paul Reubens) and redheaded Chicken Man in the mental asylum where Cheech freaks out when offered "the key, man" by the doctor (Timothy Leary). They find long-lost love (Evelyn Guerrero) and straight-jacketed Cheech scoots around a padded cell desperately asking for someone to relieve an itch. Michael Winslow does a Jimi Hendrix routine and Cheech pretends to swim on top of a stepladder while the police are in a helicopter overhead.

Trivia

The song Cheech and Chong sing at the beginning of the film, "Save the Whale, Shoot the Seal" is a parody of "Don't Kill the Whale" by the band Yes.

Sandra Bernhard makes a brief appearance during one the mental asylum scenes.

Novelty artist Afroman paid tribute to the Happy Herb's truck in his "Because I Got High" video.
