They also appeared in smaller supporting roles in Graham Chapman's Yellowbeard and Martin Scorsese's After Hours. Tommy Chong directed four of their films while co-writing and starring in all seven with Cheech Marin. To date, their most recent starring vehicle as a duo was 2014's Cheech & Chong's Animated Movie. The pair attempted a departure from their stoner comedy with 1984's Cheech & Chong's The Corsican Brothers. These were followed by the less successful Things Are Tough All Over (1982) and Still Smokin (1983). 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.

Their early success culminated with the release of their first feature-length movie, Up in Smoke, in 1978. Perhaps their most famous line is 'Dave's not here', from their self-titled debut album. Some of their best-known comedy routines and songs include ' Earache My Eye', ' Basketball Jones', ' Santa Claus and His Old Lady', and ' Sister Mary Elephant'. The pair performed stand-up shows, released many successful comedy record albums, and starred in a series of low-budget films. Chong was a Canadian citizen, and Cheech had moved there from southern California to avoid the draft at the height of the Vietnam War. The duo met in Vancouver, British Columbia, in the late 1960s.
