Question:
What is the name of the movie that has the song "lowrider?"?
This has been unsolved for weeks. It is an older movie. The cover has a man and a monster on it, leaning on a cadillac. The song "lowrider" plays whenever they get in the car. Help!!
Answers: ...I'm willing to bet that the film, which you are looking for, is the 1990 fantasy/comedy film, "Upworld", released directly to video, stateside, under the title, "A Gnome Named Gnorm"; I originally saw the film over in Japan, under the "Upworld' handle, and I distinctly remember a slacker detective (...who drives a Cadillac), played by Anthony Michael Hall, who finds himself unwillingly partnered with a grotesque gnome-like creature. The gnome had dug out from a mystical underground world, with the intent of charging some life-sustaining crystals with sunlight, and unwittingly gets involved in crime and murder, which is reluctantly being handled by the Cadillac-driving detective...
...yes, there are a handful of scenes, where the both of them, and even just the gnome at one point, drive down the street, with the background music being that of War's "Low Rider"...

I seem to remember a Cheech and Chong movie that used the song. It might have been 'Nice Dreams' I don't know for sure about the movie you are describing, but the only movies I can think that used Lowrider was Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke, Dazed and Confused and 21 Grams. this song is from the movie Lowrider Weekend (2004) The song was featured in ten movies, including the Cheech and Chong series, Robots, 21 Grams, Dazed and Confused, Paulie, Beverly Hills Ninja, A Knight's Tale, the 2000 remake of Gone in Sixty Seconds, The Young Poisoner's Handbook and Friday.
