Interesting facts

Evil Bong is a 2006 American stoner horror comedy film directed by Charles Band about a group of stoners who smoke from a sentient, malevolent bong that traps the smoker in The Bong World, a surreal realm filled with killer strippers and other Full Moon creatures. The ending features an extended cameo by Tommy Chong, of Cheech & Chong fame. Brandi Cunningham from VH1's Rock of Love with Bret Michaels and horror icon Bill Moseley also make appearances in the film, which spawned a franchise of sequels.

Production

The concept of Evil Bong was conceived when director Charles Band had a conversation with his sons about making a weed movie. Band jokingly thought of the title Evil Bong and decided to make it. The film was shot in seven days, with production starting only six weeks after the concept was conceived.

Ebee's design was based on a thirty-year-old bong prop that Band and actress Robin Sydney bought at a head shop. Jeff Farley of Obscure Artifacts recreated it and made three different face molds with varying levels of detail for the different transformation phases it goes through after being smoked from. The tubes connected to the bong were blown around with compressed air.

For his cameo appearance as Jack Deth, Tim Thomerson wore the coat from his other Full Moon character, Dollman, as the original was no longer available, leading to comments from Trancers fans about the inconsistent color. Additionally, Thomerson only agreed to the cameo since he was friends with fellow castmate Tommy Chong.

John Carl Buechler replaced Gary Busey as the voice of the Gingerdead Man.
