Cheech & Chong/Tron Econ Mash Up

July 18, 2009 7:15pm by Barry Ritholtz

A psychedelic, economic melt down remake of the 1982 sci-fi groundbreaker “Tron.” Starring Cheech and Chong.

“I don’t think you should watch anything like that straight. It’ll have lasting, traumatic effects on you.” – Tommy Chong

“When I first saw it, I was shocked because I thought we were doing soft porn. And then, ‘Oh, it’s about finances; that’s kind of hard-core porn,’ ” – Cheech Marin

This is the real original, unedited version of the Cinemash mashup with six minutes of additional behind the scenes and special effects breakdown footage.

Tron starring Cheech and Chong is part of the Cinemash digital series. The version distributed by Microsoft is an edit of the original engineered from a few green screen shots. The video here is the creation of the fine folks at Color Stampede.

The Beat boxing on the sound track was created using the forth coming BFD Beatbox expansion pack from FXpansion.

The edited version will appear on the Microsoft Zune network and xbox live.
