Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict involves police corruption, but it primarily serves as a plot device for an action-comedy, resolving through individual heroism within the existing system rather than offering a systemic critique, thus maintaining a neutral political stance.
The movie features a diverse cast, including a Latino actor in a lead role that was also a minority in the original series, but does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on action-comedy elements without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film frequently uses perceived homosexuality as a comedic device, primarily through one character's discomfort and another's persistent questioning. Jokes often derive from the awkwardness or perceived strangeness of same-sex interactions, contributing to a portrayal that leans into mockery rather than affirmation or neutrality.
The film features female characters in law enforcement roles who participate in action sequences, primarily involving vehicle chases and firearm use. However, there are no distinct scenes where a female character is depicted as victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
The 2017 film adaptation of "CHiPs" retains the established male genders for its two main protagonists, Frank "Ponch" Poncherello and Jonathan "Jon" Baker. No other significant characters from the original series were portrayed with a different gender.
The 2017 film adapts the original TV series 'CHiPs.' The main characters, Frank 'Ponch' Poncherello and Jonathan 'Jon' Baker, are portrayed by actors of the same respective races as their original counterparts (Latino and White). No established character's race was changed.
