You won't be disappointed!

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

When this hit the TV waves 40 years ago my youngest was 1 and my oldest daughter was 8. It was one of the TV shows that we loved to watch, it was good, clean family fare with a bit of seriousness. Nothing like this, two L.A. cops patrolling on motorcycles, had been done before. As an aside a few years ago my wife was in L.A. visiting her brother, who worked in the TV production industry, and they came upon Erik Estrada, still looking good after all these years.So the TV show featured Erik Estrada with his handsome face and big, toothy grin as Officer Frank "Ponch" Poncherello and his sidekick, the more serious Larry Wilcox as Officer Jon Baker. Ponch and Jon, we looked for them each week.More recently, released in 2017, is a movie 'Chips', inspired by the original series but it is just a goofy movie, only of interest to juveniles.

As a kid back in the 1970s, I all but completely missed "CHiPs" when it first aired. But recently the Me TV networks started showing reruns of the show, so I decided to take a look at what I missed all those years ago. My thoughts so far? Well, like a number of TV shows from the 1970s, there is a simple-minded feeling to this show. The movie often doesn't go into great depth or detail about things. Also, the show sometimes has a slight slapdash feeling to it, like filming was rushed or without adequate funds.However, I must admit that despite those quibbles, I am finding the show to be a lot of fun. Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada make appealing protagonists, showing dedication to their job and having great chemistry together. (Estrada often steals the show, so I understand reports that eventually a feud built between the two.) Also, there is often a light-hearted feeling in the background, refreshing after seeing so many cop shows that are harsh and dead serious. Every episode unfolds at a brisk pace, so that there are no dead spots. So if you are looking for some breezy non-think entertainment, you could do a heck of a lot worse than "CHiPs".

Yes people it was... When i was a kid i watched CHiPs a lot. Every Wednesday(on TV), it was CHiPs-day. Two cops on a motorcycle, Harley Davidsons. Believe me, that was something for a 8 year old kid. Officers Francis "Ponch" Ponchorello and Jon Baker were the most cool guys in the history of Hollywood Television. Make no mistake, these dudes WERE cool. Two young and reasonably handsome guys, athletic and fit looking while living that romantic fast life in Southern California. They were the man on bikes, high pursuit cops who enforced the law. We got together with all kids from school. When we looked every Wednesday. Enjoyed the filming locations, the cars and scenery, wish i was 20 in '77. GREAT stuff!! I'm 36 in 2008, a bit different i guess....

In nearly every episode of the action-adventure series(or for that manner nearly every episode from the first season) "CHiPs",a Volkswagen beetle the color of a blood orange putters somewhere in the background,riding down the highway or parked in an illicit chop shop. An odd thing to notice and it could have been any car. But perhaps this was the show to watch since this was part crime drama with part action adventure basis thrown in for good measure,thus becoming one of the best loved if underrated cop shows that came out of the mid-1970's and ended in the early 1980's. The featherweight motorcycle-cop series which ran for six seasons on NBC-TV and producing 139 episodes from the astounding pilot episode on September 15, 1977 and ending its run on May 1,1983 under the series executive producer and creator Rick Rosner(who would later on resurrect William Shatner back to television for the crime action series "T.J. Hooker"). "CHiPs" however gave television one of its most popular Latino action heroes(Erik Estrada). And get this: even worse shows than "CHiPs" have been saved by lesser forces than the cut of Erik Estrada's uniform or the swagger behind his smile. Mr. Estrada's portrayal as Officer Poncherello(better known as Ponch) was the crucial ingredient to the show and the results paid off.The show itself was a genial enough combination of "Adam-12","Emergency!",and "Starsky and Hutch" and not to mention some of the guest stars that appeared on the show each week..one of them was Phyllis Diller. The light action series,laced with some heavy duty adventure and combustional crime action followed the adventures,both on and off the road of two Kawaski-riding officers of the California Highway Patrol. However it may have plenty of action and adventure and not just because there was some scenes involving gunplay and explosions not to mention horrific car chases and crashes involving people in constant peril where rescues had to be performed not to mention going after the bad guys who were in the midst of breaking the law. Essentially the show when not fixating on chrome or skidding cars,tagged along with Ponch and his partner as they snaked through freeway traffic and youthful bachelorhood,handing out tickets,busting low-stakes criminals and flirting with the hottest babes in Los Angeles. Playing Hutch to Mr. Estrada's Starsky was Larry Wilcox who was the blander Officer Jon Baker. Their superior officer of command and head honco of the CHiPs unit was played by Robert Pine. During the six seasons that this show was on the air,only Robert Pine and Erik Estrada remained throughout the show's entire run. Larry Wilcox left the show after the fifth season and was replaced by another actor during the series' final season. However,in some of the episodes-and no small part of the show's comfort appeal to its audience(which were younger teenage boys who worship the show)and this is which the majority of every episode that is so throughly typical,one suspects the car in peculiar would be an ingredient in the strict recipe-would have the partners on the lookout for a suspected car thief,or a purse-snatching tow truck driver preying on stranded female motorists. In one oddball episode a menacing mud-throwing lunatic causes no end of roadside(which would be today's version of uncontrollable road rage against motorists on the highway)drama. Another episode dealt with a sadistic lunatic who takes a family hostage through a chase on the freeway. And those were the serious crimes. The series,especially early on,pushed the slapstick button pretty frequently:Ponch meets up with a spilled truckload of glue or a leaking canister of nitrous oxide. The rest of it dealt with both Jon and Ponch going after the looneys who cause chaos on the highways and freeways of greater Los Angeles. The results kept the show in the top ten of the Nielsens during its run.
