But even after making fun of constant sequels, a third Jump Street movie was in the works. The follow-up, 22 Jump Street, parodied Hollywood's devotion to churning out countless sequels with incredible end credits that featured the pair in an endless stream of Jump Street movies. The first film was made for $42 million but ultimately became so popular it grossed nearly five times that amount during its theatrical run. The irreverent take on the self-serious '80s show made for a witty and fresh movie that drew in big box office dollars. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum led the series as two immature and incompetent narcotics cops, Schmidt and Jenko, who went undercover as high school and college students. The two movies are based on the 1980s Fox series that launched Johnny Depp's controversial career and brought its concept into the 21st century.

The 21 Jump Streetfranchise is regarded as one of the best buddy comedy series of the 2010s.
