Cheech and Chong's First Movie Grossed $104 Million. But They Only Made $25K Apiece: 'A Huge Horrible Deal'

Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong discuss their years as the legendary comedy duo Cheech & Chong and the "huge horrible" contract that left them broke after a massively successful movie in the new documentary 'Cheech & Chong's Last Movie'.

Apparently, they ignored the cardinal rule of making money in Hollywood: Don't quit your day job until you're financially secure. At this point, both Cheech and Chong start talking — sometimes in unison, sometimes interrupting each other, occasionally finishing each other's sentences. "Me and Tommy have been together longer than I've been with any woman," Marin says in a vintage clip in the documentary, adding, "He's my best friend."
