Line #11 Trivia/TwentyTwoJumpStreet


1	* CastingGag: During the credits, [[spoiler:Creator/SethRogen [[TheOtherDarrin briefly replaces]] Jonah Hill in one of the mock sequels because of a contract dispute.]]
2	* TheDanza: Keith and Kenny Lucas as Keith and Kenny Yang.
3	* DawsonCasting:
4	** Mercedes is played by the 30-year old Jillian Bell... [[InJoke who is 4 months younger than Jonah Hill, whose character she is constantly demeaning as old.]]
5	** Amber Stevens (Maya) and Wyatt Russell (Zook), who were both 27-28 at the time of the film's release.
6	** Averted notably by Jimmy Tatro (Rooster), the youngest of the college characters at 22.
7	* {{Defictionalization}}: During the film, Zook is required to film a scout reel and ropes Jenko (under his Brad [=McQuaid=] identity) in to make it a scout reel for the two of them. Whilst only a brief glimpse is seen of the video in the film, [[http://youtu.be/Tp_NAHgk3_8 they actually made the entire video]] and put it on Website/YouTube.
8	* DevelopmentHell: The planned ''[[Franchise/MenInBlack MIB]] 23'' sequel/crossover film fell into this (probably as an aftereffect of the Sony hack that released info about it to start); [[https://www.superherohype.com/movies/432057-sonys-mib-23-crossover-is-officially-dead the project has been cancelled]], while Sony's instead making ''Film/MenInBlackInternational''.
9	* DuelingMovies:
10	** Of a strange variety with ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2'', which opened on the same day as ''Jump Street''. Although the two movies target very different audiences (barring the PeripheryDemographic), Creator/JonahHill played a part in both films. As a result, while on the marketing campaign for ''Jump Street'', Hill would find himself urging people to defy this trope and see both films, suggesting that people see ''Jump Street'' on opening Friday and ''Dragon'' with family on Sunday.
11	** Industry projections expected both films to do well since their target audiences were much different, but ''Jump Street'' was the clear winner, grossing 72% more domestically than the first one, while ''Dragons 2'' surprisingly grossed 19% ''less'' despite the popularity of the original and no animated competition.
12	* RealitySubtext: For all the LeaningOnTheFourthWall, this was ironically subverted with jokes about Jump Street's budget increasing. The film's budget was $50 million, only $8 million more than its predecessor, and still fairly modest.
13	* ShootTheMoney: Discussed; the operation has a bigger budget (even if the movie itself is only $8 million more expensive than the original) and thus allows for more gadgets and such. Then comes a car chase where the protagonists feel the pursuers are deliberately crashing into expensive stuff... [[VisualPun including an ATM]].
14	* ThrowItIn: [[spoiler:Seth Rogen's cameo in the credits, serving as TheOtherDarrin to Jonah Hill for ''29 Jump Street: Sunday School'', wasn't originally part of the script - he just happened to be on the Sony lot that day and they asked if he wanted to do the cameo.]]
15	* TorchTheFranchiseAndRun: [[spoiler:The ending is a clear attempt to do so, by ruthlessly mocking the idea of ''Jump Street'' becoming a CashCowFranchise by depicting Schmidt and Jenko in a series of increasingly absurd sequels]].
16	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film originally ended with [[spoiler:Schmidt and Jenko quitting Jump Street]], but test audiences didn't like the ending because [[spoiler:it was a depressing way to end the franchise, as they wanted to believe that Schmidt and Jenko would continue to work in the Jump Street program]]. Instead, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller shot another ending that [[spoiler:places Schmidt and Jenko in increasingly absurd assignments, ending the series on a more positive note]].
