3''Still Smokin'' is a 1983 Creator/CheechAndChong SketchComedy ConcertFilm, with the wraparound story being that the duo has accidentally been invited to a film festival in Amsterdam because the organizers have them confused with Creator/BurtReynolds and Music/DollyParton, who are the stars of the films being screened at that festival. The first half of the movie features filmed performances of skits by the duo and story segments featuring the duo AdamWesting as themselves, with the final half of the movie devoted to a live concert performance in Amsterdam.

7!! ''Still Smokin'' provides examples of the following tropes:
8
9* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Although the promoter is mortified during the stage show, the man sitting next to him is laughing hysterically at Ralph and Herbie's antics. Even Queen Beatrix is seen giggling!
10* AdamWesting: Cheech and Chong play the comedians Cheech & Chong, who aren't much different from their onscreen personas in their previous movies.
11* AllMenArePerverts: Including the alien Chicano, [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial Eddie Torress, The Extra Testicle]]
12* CampGay: The [[Franchise/StarWars Queer Wars]] skit.
13* ContinuityNod: Fan-favorite characters like Blind Melon Chitlin', Harry & Margaret, Ralph & Herbie and the Old Man In The Park make appearances here for the first time on film.
14* DrivenToSuicide: The film festival's show runner, when he comes to Cheech and Chong's suite late in the movie. [[note]] His accountant has stolen all his money, and Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton are definitely not coming.[[/note]] He tries to pry open the window, but can't get it open wide enough. Cheech talks him down, while Chong films it all.
15* DrugsAreBad: Parodied in one of the skits, in which Cheech plays Creator/RichardPryor playing a drug dealer.
16* {{Expy}}: Cheech is seen in character as an English rock star in a tu-tu and Mickey Mouse ears. It's obviously supposed to be Alice Bowie, but is not identified as such here (unlike in ''Film/UpInSmoke'', where Alice Bowie is merely a persona adopted by Pedro De Pacas, and in ''Get Out Of My Room'', which has a similarly flamboyant English rock star, Ian Rotten, who is a completely different character from Alice Bowie).
17* MeaningfulName: Harry Palms (Chong), the masturbation champion of the world, appears during the Dopeathon '82 skit.
18* {{Telethon}}: Twistin Thenightaway (Cheech) hosts Dopeathon '82.
