In this edition, Rob Hunter hungers for a big, hilarious studio comedy and finds one in a rewatch \u2014 with commentary \u2014 of 22 Jump Street<\/i>.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Even if 2020 hadn\u2019t been the year it\u2019s been so far, it would stand out for its lack of funny comedies. Sure, there have been some fun <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, but the last big, laugh out loud comedy to hit theaters was <em>Good Boys<\/em> which opened in August of 2019. It\u2019s true! Anyway, the desire for something heavy on the laughs drove me to a rewatch of 2014\u2019s <strong><em>22 Jump Street<\/em><\/strong>. And guess what? The damn thing is still an absolute rarity of a sequel that holds up against its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>Both films are new to 4K UltraHD and carry over all of their extras including commentary tracks, so keep reading to see what I heard on the commentary for <em>22 Jump Street<\/em>!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22_Jump_Street_2014\"><\/span>22 Jump Street (2014)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Commentators: Phil Lord &amp; Chris Miller (directors), Jonah Hill &amp; Channing Tatum (actors)<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong>1.<\/strong> The filmmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently added a soft cough into the back right channel of the sound mix right before the Sony logo appears on screen. It was in theater prints only, and \u201cthen everybody at Sony freaked out about it.\u201d They add that they weren\u2019t allowed to add it to the Blu-ray as it might freak out people watching alone at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> The white parrot broke free of its guideline at 6:41 and actually \u201cattacked\u201d Hill. \u201cThat was not acting,\u201d says Hill. \u201cI don\u2019t like birds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> The \u201ccube of ice\u201d joke was originally \u201cblock of frozen water,\u201d but no one ever laughed as it was apparently one step too many.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> The commentary was recorded the day after the film\u2019s Los Angeles premiere, and some of them have hangovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> The initial plan for Mercedes (<strong>Jillian Bell<\/strong>) was to \u201cWinklevoss her\u201d and use CG to create an identical twin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> Tatum was no fan of being caught up in the first film\u2019s improvised riffing, but he was far more comfortable with it during the sequel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> The Doritos product placement at 23:50 is a sly nod to the impending return of <strong>Rob Riggle<\/strong>\u2018s Mr. Walters from the first film. If you recall, he was the villain whose love for Cool Ranch Doritos connected him to the illicit substances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.<\/strong> They\u2019re all joking about having filmed the prison scene in a real New Orleans prison, but Hill brings the mood down by recalling how they saw a \u201cwoman with no face\u201d there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong> \u201cI don\u2019t ever need to work with Kurt Russell,\u201d says Tatum, \u201cbecause I have essentially worked with him.\u201d He\u2019s referring to co-star <strong>Wyatt Russell<\/strong> who \u201clooks so much like him when I would stare in his eyes.\u201d Interestingly, Tatum went on to make a cameo appearance in <em>The Hateful Eight<\/em>, starring Kurt Russell, just one year later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.<\/strong> Maya Angelou died two weeks before the film\u2019s release, and they had no time to swap out the reference. They decided it was okay, though, as it\u2019s not disrespectful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.<\/strong> They were all floored by Bell\u2019s banter with Hill in the morning scene. The filmmakers note that it was the first time they ever saw Hill on his heels. \u201cIt\u2019s like she thinks about what I\u2019m gonna say before I say it and says it better and funnier than I was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>12.<\/strong> The old guy with the broken ankle trying to pass Hill at 53:08 wasn\u2019t a planned bit. It cuts right before Hill turns to the camera to ask what the hell that was about as he was wondering if the filmmakers were messing around with him. \u201cI\u2019m just gonna stay in the scene and see what happens,\u201d he recalls thinking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13.<\/strong> They tried to get Cate Blanchett for the end credits sequence as a follow-up to the carte blanche joke, but she was \u201cbusy\u201d elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14.<\/strong> The chase scene where they\u2019re worried about causing expensive damage was actually hampered by Sony insisting they start trimming costs. The Robotics Lab joke plays into that as the entire gag is CG, but they feel like they messed up with the name as \u201crobotics\u201d doesn\u2019t im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely scream \u201cexpensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>15.<\/strong> \u201cWe melted the end zone,\u201d they say as the goal post explodes into flame. The fire was three times larger than they expected, and it actually damaged the end zone of this field \u2014 that had been built after Hurricane Katrina for the local schools to come together and play upon. They obviously paid to restore everything to its former glory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.<\/strong> The Spring Break sequence originally included some topless females, but \u201cit turns out boobs are not funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>17.<\/strong> The sign for Gringo Pendejo\u2019s was illegal \u2014 it\u2019s essentially saying White Motherfuckers \u2014 so they had to shoot it and immediately cover it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18.<\/strong> They tried to do two things at the film\u2019s premiere \u2014 they wanted to drive up in the little football helmet car, and Tatum wanted to drive the Lamborghini past the theater a couple times and rev the engine \u2014 but Sony nixed both. \u201cI\u2019m looking at the Sony representative right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>19.<\/strong> The initial fight between Hill and Bell was improvised and captured in a single (two camera) take. When she moves in for a kiss you can see Hill almost laugh and look over to Lord &amp; Miller just out of frame at 1:31:09. He looks to them a few more times during the scene, and they\u2019re all loving it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>20.<\/strong> The drunk girl who gets on Tatum\u2019s shoulders during his fight scene against the twin bad guys is Mickey Facchinello. Tatum also carried her around while filming <em>Jupiter Ascending<\/em> (2015) as she was Mila Kunis\u2019 stunt double.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21.<\/strong> The red handkerchief on Tatum\u2019s hand is the one Richard Grieco wore on the original television show. A scene between the two was cut from the film but is available on the Blu-ray.<\/p>\n<p><strong>22.<\/strong> They regret not having the two kiss at the end of the film after they come out of the ocean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>23.<\/strong> The film originally ended with the pair saying they never wanted to do this again, but test audiences didn\u2019t respond well so they created the multiple variations \u2014 medical school, a semester at sea, etc \u2014 just a month before the film opened.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_in_Context-Free_Commentary\"><\/span>Best in Context-Free Commentary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p graf--startsWithDoubleQuote\">\u201cI saw the dude from Mumford &amp; Sons!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Nick] Offerman has the best face to cut away to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy only movie I think my dad\u2019s actually enjoyed that I\u2019ve been in is this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is this funny?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis could definitely be in <em>Paul Blart<\/em>, but whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you remember how hard I fought for pigs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook how big this dude is here to the left just staring at Jonah\u2019s ass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou do not want to be at Margaritaville at like seven AM in the French Quarter.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">A rewatch of <em>22 Jump Street<\/em>, even one with the commentary track playing, reveals this to be a modern comedy classic, and the commentary confirms all four talents as funny people even without a script before them. They share anecdotes from the film\u2019s production, talk about how much rum they drank along the way, and reveal a deep respect and appreciation for each other and the rest of the cast and crew. Their love for Jillian Bell is especially entertaining, and they even respect those of us listening to the commentary by talking all the way until the very end of the credits. Now if we could only convince the quartet to get moving on <em>23 Jump Street<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Read more Commentary Commentary from the archives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
