CHIPS

Chip Happens


CHIPS
This film uses characters from the popular TV show of the 1970s and 1980s, but is definitely not family fare. Jon Baker and Frank ’’Ponch’’ Poncherello have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles but for very different reasons. Baker is a beaten up pro motorbiker trying to put his life and marriage back together. Ponch is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job. The inexperienced rookie and hardened pro are teamed together, but clash more than click, so kickstarting a partnership is easier said than done. But with Baker’s bike skills combined with Ponch’s street savvy it might just work... if they don’t drive each other crazy along the way. The studio has kept this away from the media, which is never a good sign.
