In this fourth Cheech and Chong adventure, the duo's view of humor, drugs, and sex are let loose in Amsterdam. Still Smokin' finds the two comedians arriving in the Netherlandish capital to go the city's first film festival, where they are mistaken for Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds -- a sure sign that the festival and this film are doomed. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

With Still Smokin', the Marshall Tucker Band continues the same pattern they initiated with the 1991 release Southern Spirit. Solid, catchy pop/rock and country-tinged tracks like "Frontline," and "Southern Spirit," help to round out a fine selection of tunes that find the band once again cracking into the country Top 40 with "Driving You Out of My Mind." ~ Michael B. Smith, All Music Guide

Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong play versions of themselves being invited to Amsterdam for a film festival devoted to Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton. When Reynolds and Parton do not show up to the festival, the promoter goes to Cheech and Chong for help and the duo volunteers to give a live performance (even though they had not performed their live act for several years). For much of the film, they do versions of many of their recorded characters (with the exception of Pedro and Man, whom they had already portrayed on film in Up in Smoke) and several new skits. The second half of the movie features their live performance, climaxing with a version of their infamous "Ralph And Herbie" routine.
This is the only Cheech and Chong film where the duo used their normal voices in one segment.
