Line 11:
Currently the episodes are available for streaming on [http://www.youtube.com/show?p=Q6PCTiUMlw8&s=1 Youtube]--unfortunately [[Clumsy Copyright Censorship|without the original soundtrack]].
A very well received [[
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.)
{{tropelist}}
* [[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.
* [[Artistic License History]]: Ioki is hiding the fact that he is Vietnamese, supposedly to avoid the ire of colleagues who may have fought in the Vietnam war. The strange thing is, Ioki would almost certainly be from (the former) South Vietnam, who were America's allies. (And even if he was from North Vietnam, his colleagues wouldn't know that.)
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Booker wears these on occasion, when not sporting a [[Hell
* [[Berserk Button]]: Hanson ''reaaally'' hates it when people make fun of how young he looks.
* [[California Doubling]]: Though supposedly set in the US, the fact that ''21 Jump Street'' is shot in Canada is made by the fact that the extras/bit parts were hired locally and thus do decidedly non-US things like say "grade 3" instead of "3rd grade" and write graffiti with words ending in "-our" instead of "-or".
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: The show was entirely based around the premise of cops who looked young enough that they could go undercover as high school students.
** Which was pretty silly, and only sorta worked because of [[Dawson Casting]]. The actors standing next to ACTUAL high-schoolers would've looked hopelessly out of place.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] Penhall and Hanson, respectively.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: In season 2, episode 12, Tom Hanson ([[Johnny Depp]]) wrestles a bear for a prize of $500. He ends up being tossed out of the ring about 3 seconds later.
* [[Popular History]]: The show stands as a good example of what the 80's were actually like.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
** He even suffered a case of [[Threw My Bike On the Roof]].
* [[Shoo Out the New Guy]]: Booker, who is [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority|totally rad]] and [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|a good guy deep down]], but is [[Badbutt|kinda dangerous]] and [[Cowboy Cop|plays by his own rules]]. Like, ''totally''.
* [[Stealth Sequel]]: [[
** {{spoiler|[[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]]}}: {{spoiler|Hanson and Penhall are shot up by One-Percenter bikers}}.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Richard Grieco's character, Dennis Booker, for one season. His character was then given his own short-lived spinoff.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: David Barry Gray's Dean Garrett replacing Johnny Depp's Tom Hanson.
* [[Teacher
* [[True Companions]]
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: [[Johnny Depp|Johnny Depp's]] attraction to eyeliner didn't start with [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Captain Jack Sparrow]] - during his time on this show, he was undercover in drag in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4bJr_gY2E0#t=4m34 In the Custody of a Clown]" and looked far too convincing.
