Warner Bros. has released an f-bomb-rich red band trailer for CHiPs, the big screen adaptation of the ’70s TV show. Dax Shepard wrote, directed, and stars in the film alongside Michael Peña. They play partners for the California Highway Patrol who are trying to take down dirty cops.
The trailer is long and pretty repetitive, but I did laugh at the line about Peña shooting his colleague. CHiPs is in theaters on March 24th.
Jon Baker (Dax Shepard) and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello (Michael Peña) have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles but for very different reasons. Baker is a beaten up pro motorbiker trying to put his life and marriage back together. Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job—inside the CHP.
The inexperienced rookie and hardened pro are teamed together, but clash more than click, so kickstarting a partnership is easier said than done. But with Baker’s bike skills combined with Ponch’s street savvy it might just work…if they don’t drive each other crazy along the way.
