Cheech and Chong, US Military Objection, and Harold Ramis' Role

Cheech and Chong fell through due to their desire for creative control. They wanted to try a serious movie, but the US military may have objected to their involvement. Instead, they brought in Ray mis, a serious actor known for his screenwriting abilities. Despite Raymis's comedic timing, he has a tendency to tackle serious themes. The script for the film was a mixture of Ramis's and Rightman's contributions, with some scenes being cut for the final version. When analyzing the film's political insight, the focus is primarily on Ramis and his screenplay.
