LOS ANGELES, April 10 — Undercover cops Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) impersonate Spanish-speaking hoodlums to varying degrees of success in a clip from "22 Jump Street."
Instead of returning to high school in this sequel to 2012's "21 Jump Street," this time the pair go undercover as college students in order to bust up a crime organisation operating under the auspices of a fraternity.
And the two officers find themselves in an awkward spot when attempting to secure evidence: if Schmidt's accent is good, his outfit is terrible, while Jenko's fumbled pretense involves an adventure with kids' TV character Dora the Explorer.
The clip, hosted by MTV, expands on a scene glimpsed in an earlier trailer for the August action comedy.
In addition to several previous trailers, high spirits on set spilled over into the public realm in November, after Tatum and co. lampooned Jean Claude Van Damme's Volvo ad with a clip named "Jenko's Epic Split."
Appearing alongside the two leads will be Ice Cube as commanding officer Captain Dickson, as well as Nick Offerman of "Parks and Recreation," Amber Stevens of "Greek," Dave Franco of "Warm Bodies" and Rob Riggle of "Saturday Night Live" and "The Daily Show."
Cameos from the original TV series' Richard Grieco and guest star Brad Pitt are also in place. — AFP-Relaxnews
