21 Jump Street (TV series): Difference between revisions

 

 

 

Here, it's about the cases of a special undercover police unit where young-looking police officers infiltrate schools to investigate youth-related crimes.

The series made [[Johnny Depp]] a star, but a [[Teen Idol]] was the last thing he wanted to be. As such, he quit at his first opportunity, which made the show [[Jump the Shark]] at that moment.

 

 

A very well received [[21 Jump Street (film)|film adaptation]] has been released, starring [[Superbad|Jonah Hill]] (who also co-wrote the script), [[G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra|Channing]] [[Step Up|Tatum]], [[The United States of Tara|Brie Larson]], and [[Ice Cube]]. [[Johnny Depp]] and Peter DeLuise appear in cameos as their original-series characters, Tom Hanson and Doug Penhall. Holly Robinson Peete also returned as Judy Hoffs, in a slightly more substantial role.

 

Now has a fan made sequel series, ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XspU4ZxHkw 21 Jump Street Rangers]'', which takes place years after the original team's adventures. (The series also adapts ''[[Tomica Hero Rescue Force]]'' for added points.)

* [[Adults Dressed as Children]]: More adults dressed as teenagers; the whole premise of the show is young looking police officers going undercover in high schools. Decades later, Depp would poke fun at the "fascist" nature of this premise.
