I Watch Films: CHiPs
Films new to me in 2018: CHIPS
Based very loosely on the TV show. It sort of doesn’t get the TV show, which had a surprisingly small amount of gun use for a cop show in an attempt to keep it family friendly, leading to kung fu fights with gangs of car part thieves and similar. Having said that, it would have big old car crashes and stuff, which this film has surprisingly little of.
So if it’s failing as an adaption of "CHiPs", how does it do as an action comedy? Pretty good to be honest. The thriller plot is a little overwrought, and the jokes are full of smut. There’s a lot of explosions. The characters are ridiculous but not so ridiculous as to be completely nonsensical.
Watch This: For a quiet evening of motorcycle chases, knob jokes and explosions.
Don’t Watch This: For clever witty comedy or serious action, or if you really love the old "CHiPs".
Also Starring: Larry Wilcox, no relation.
