It samples The Clash's "Straight To Hell".

Red band trailer looked hilarious. This is one upcoming flick that will get me to take my bong out of storage for sure. I don't know how I couldn't see this stoned. Glad to see Franco is a good lead role for once.

Higher quality red-band trailer.
Zen Peckinpah said it better, but I was gonna say it looks like Harold and Kumar meets Judgment Night.

This movie actually does looks fantastic. The direction is well-shot (gotta brush up on DGG). The lines look great. And that song is fantastic; "Straight to Hell" is my favorite Clash song too.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this one end up on my year-end top 10 like Superbad and Knocked Up did.

agreed. The first 2/3 are a mostly funny stoner movie, followed by a funny-dumb action movie for the last 1/3. I think it will do fairly well at the box office, and I would not have been mad if I paid for it

Just saw it tonight as well. If anyone has any specific questions, feel free to ask.
BTW, I didn't like it as much as Superbad (which I consider an elite comedy) or Knocked Up or 40YOV, but it was very funny, and I generally like comedies much more on repeated viewings.
