While they plan to retire as "Sun Kings" on a tropical island with guitars and fast cars, they are pursued by the bumbling Sgt. Stedenko (played by Stacy Keach), who is determined to bust their operation. Notable Cameos & Cast
Looking back at the high-spirited (and highly smokey) world of 1981, Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams
Playing the character "How the Hippie," Leary is not the benevolent psychedelic guru history remembers; he is a corrupt, corporate villain who wants to steal Cheech and Chong's formula to market it himself. It’s a biting piece of satire—the counterculture icon playing the capitalist bad guy trying to squash the little guys.
It pokes fun at the excess of the early 1980s.
