420 Triple Feature

About This Movie

So, '420 Triple Feature' is this wild collection of educational shorts about marijuana that really leans into the absurdity of the era. You’ve got Sonny Bono narrating some of these segments, which brings a bizarre charm. The pacing varies; some parts feel like they drag a bit, while others zip past with cringeworthy, nostalgic humor. It’s not just about the laughs, though - there’s this offbeat attempt to educate, which, let’s be honest, is pretty laughable now. The practical effects are minimal, but they manage to create a kind of cultish vibe. Definitely an oddball piece that captures a time when marijuana was almost taboo, yet these films just dive right in with a hefty dose of irony.

This title is somewhat of a rarity, with limited releases on DVD and only a few screenings over the years. Collectors seem to gravitate toward it for its kitsch value and the peculiar nostalgia it evokes. While not widely known, it has a niche audience that appreciates its quirkiness, making it an interesting find for those diving into obscure cannabis cinema.
