30 movies that need the Lego treatment so bad it’s wrong
20. 21 Jump Street
Premise of the movie: The awesome 2012 comedy movie (based on the hit TV series) stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. 21 Jump Street is about two really REALLY bad cops who, because of how young they look, are sent undercover to a high school to find and bring down a drug ring.
Of course, nothing goes to plan and they end up doing everything completely but stupidly wrong. The movie was so successful that a second movie 22 Jump Street was created where the pair goes to college instead. After all, they now look too old to pass off as high school kids.
Why it need the Lego treatment: There is nothing that isn’t Lego-worthy in this movie. Just the fact that Tatum and Hill star in the two Jump Street movies should be enough to convince anyone a Lego adaptation is required. The two played Superman and Green Lantern in The Lego Movie and Lego Batman. There are plenty of ways that those two characters could be brought into Lego Jump Street.
One of those is based on the credits at the end of 22 Jump Street. The credits show the next selection of Jump Street movies (that we know could never happen, but we’d love to see them). In the Lego world, the credits could build and adapt into the various worlds created through the Lego franchises. Just some ideas for adaptations include 36 Jump Street: Military School or 28 Jump Street: Veterinary School. Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and even the superheroes could easily show up in the various “sequels.”
