The six-year run cop show comedy, Chips is making a comeback to the big screen this week and paying homage to the California Highway patrols we follow Frank “Ponch” Poncerello and John Baker new adventures and laughs along the way.

The 2017 remake stars an all new cast as Michael Pena attempts to portray the “new” Ponch along side Dax Shepard as John Baker.  Ultimately, the remake has everything that the sitcom was known for including the wise cracking jokes of Ponch and Baker as they tackle the busy streets of Los Angeles and at a hundred minute runtime, Chips is reintroducing audiences to the CHP as never seen before with new cutting as special effects, realistic crime scenes and updated jokes for the modern generation.

The original series ran from 1977 to 1983 and fans will be pleasant pleased with a surprise cameo by the “original” Ponch, Erik Estrada who appears in a scene opposite Pena.

Filmed entirely in the Los Angeles area with notable landmarks including Shoreline Drive in Long Beach, Warner Brothers Chips is rated R, as it does have a few graphic scenes including explicit nudity and language that might not be appropriate for a younger audiences.  The comedy opened in theaters everywhere, March 26, 2016 and is currently playing in a theater near you.

If you are a fan of the genre or like a little slapstick comedy this is the perfect film for you.
