Why Cheech and Chong?


Was it just me, or was naming the ferrets Cheech and Chong kinda a bad idea? I know The Beastmaster isn't the best movie in the world already, but naming them Cheech and Chong completely takes you out of the movie. I think making such an obvious homage to Cheech and Chong was completely unnecessary in this type of movie.

Yeah Future, I know exactly what you mean. I mean, then again, they made a sequel, and a third, and a tv series of it, and sure he goes through time, but christ man, naming the ferret's cheech and chong always bugged the hell out of me. Then again, whenever Chong dies, i always get a little misty-eyed.

God, that was a great movie...but unfortunately i AM thinking of the Beastmaster. I also believe Kodo went on to have a succesful career with richard gere.

OHHH. now i see. well, i was referring to the infamous "ferret" incident with Gere and his south pole, but i would imagine both spent a lot of time up his ass.

I just showed my girlfriend Primal Fear the other day, and in retrospect. I don't think i'd mind taking a vacation there myself.

You sir, must be the one smoking, for you have the tagline to "Saw II" as your quote. Only someone under the influence of a controlled substance would be crazy enough to use that in a public forum. Cheech and Chong live on.

Think you need to re-watch the movie... lol.

Their names were Podo and Kodo.

Sounds like someone thought it would be funny to name them that or just wanted to start a dumb rumor.... hehe.

I would like to nominate this thread for "IMDB Hall of Shame" (should such a thing ever come to be . . . )

I saw this movie when it came out originally, and on tape in the states and their names are Kodo and Podo. Stop sniffing whatever the hell you're sniffing dude.

reply

I have only heard them referred to as Kodo and Podo. Never have I ever heard them called Cheech & Chong. But I am glad to see that Kodo went on to have a long film career after Beastmaster. I thought he was great in Nash Bridges.

NNGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I just watched it on cable last night, and all of you are wrong...........in the version I watched, the ferrets were named Heckle and Jekyll...........Seriously, what have all of you been smoking? No wonder you hear Cheech and Chong everywhere you go...................


reply

Obviously there is more than one version of this movie. I have seen Beastmaster over 100 times since I was completely in love with Marc Singer lol and it has always been Kodo and Podo. I have seen it on HBO and on various cable channels throughout the years, all were Kodo and Podo. So common sense would tell me there has to be other copies perhaps in different language or whatever that have them as Cheech and chong or whatever. I assure you thetallcooll, I do NOT smoke, or drink. Just out of curiousity, where do you live? I am in Texas lol.

reply

On my copy they are called 'Hall & Oates'.

reply

Wow that is so interesting, where are you located Blackunivox? Maybe if we can see where people are from we can figure this out. I did some googling and found in all the reviews on the movie in the United States list them as Kodo and Podo. So I am guessing this is a difference in what country it was released in.

reply

I'm American. In the U.S. we call them Hall and Oates. Where are you from?

reply

Kodo and Podo were their names when this showed in the theaters then at the drive-in. Strangely enough, when the movie arrived on HBO, their names were~Are you ready for this?~Kodo and Podo! Later, when the film showed up on network television the names were~Surprise!~Kodo and Podo!

Those who say otherwise are just joshing, spaced out, or just big goofs.

reply

It's funny this should come up because I could've sworn their names were Crockett and Tubbs. This was the Canadian version I saw though so maybe that had something to do with it. I also heard a rumor that on some newer DVD copies they're called Mary-Kate and Ashley.

reply

I just saw this movie for the first time on Netflix and they were called "Tango and Cash".

reply

In the version i saw in the navy they were called seigfried and roy and roy was eaten by the black tiger.

reply

It was sad when Kodo got half drowned in the mud. Poor ferret!!
The making of this movie involved a LOT of animal cruelty. They even poisoned the tiger to death with the toxic black dye they coated him in.
But the dead tiger and half-drowned ferret are just the beginning!

Also, just incase anyone is dumb enough to believe otherwise... The ferrets are named Kodo and Podo in every english version.

reply

ancient thread, I know, but I just watched this (again) last night, reliving my youth...and I was shocked at the way the animal "actors" were treated in the making of this film. The ferret was nearly drowned in the quicksand and was clearly distressed even if it wasn't physically harmed...Marc Singer (or his stunt double) jumped onto a horse and knocked it over sideways, which can easily break its bones...we all know the tiger ultimately dies from some mistake in its care...and I don't even want to know how they got the white dog to be so floppy when he carried it after it supposedly "died". No dog can be trained to relax ALL its muscles when you carry it like that.

The 80's sure were a different time when it comes to animals in the movies. I don't miss it.

reply


The ferrets were named codo and podo you dumbass not cheech and chong







Are you watching closely?

reply

I know, dicks! This does take me back to the good ol' days tho', you know, without all of this politically correct crap! The 80's need to come back like now!!
