Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

bkoganbing It took another 20 years, another generation, before we were ready for another cop show with young people as undercover cops dealing with crime and other social issues, but where Mod Squad left off in the Sixties, 21 Jump Street took the ball and ran with it in the Eighties.Personally I think 21 Jump Street was a much better show. It certainly had at least one cast member who became a mega star in Johnny Depp. When Depp left the show, it sputtered on for a while, but ultimately died when other regulars left as well.I might not agree with all of Johnny Depp's opinions, but I certainly have enormous respect for his artistic vision. He was good, he was very good as Officer Tom Hanson in 21 Jump Street, but he left at what turned out the right time for him before he was trapped as a juvenile teen idol forever and created one fantastic body of work as one of the best players around. He knew what he was capable of back in the day and the rest of us know it now too.I was surprised that Dustin Nguyen didn't break out from 21 Jump Street as well as a big star. He should have had a great career as an oriental leading man, he had the looks, talent and definitely the martial arts skill.In a way the Sixties handed off to the Eighties in the person of original captain of the Jump Street program, Frederic Forrest. He was one weird dude as the hippie type captain, a real refugee of the tune in, turn on, drop out generation. The character didn't work, so he was quickly dispatched and Steven Williams came on board as the new captain and a more traditional police authority figure.You can see a lot of future stars in 21 Jump Street, Jason Priestley and Brad Pitt did episodes back in the day. I liked the stories very much, the series regulars were as human and as flawed as some of the kids they were dealing with.I wish it had lasted longer, but maybe if Johnny Depp had stuck with it longer we might never have seen Captain Jack Sparrow.

flo116 I really enjoy watching 21 Jump Street. I never saw it in the 80's never even heard of it. But since becoming a Johnny fan at a late age I was delighted that it was out on DVD. I have the first 4 seasons and really like all of them some are better than others. I didn't buy season 5 as I heard Johnny is only in one episode Blackout and even though I would like to see it I will not buy it because they took this particular episode out of season 4 and put it in season 5 to sell the last season and I think that is underhanded. It really is timeless my grandson enjoys watching some of the episodes with me. They are funny and interesting I would recommend them to anyone especially Johnny Depp fans.

melaniecadart Like most people of my generation, I LOVED 21 jump street. Like most girls of my generation, I LOVED bad boy Johnny Depp. This one episode "Swallowed alive" (season 3) really stuck. Especially the music ("are you sure" by the staple singers in the tunnel scene, "can't find my way home" by Steve Winwood at the very end...). Anyway, I had been waiting for years for a DVD release. Years. And then it came. I watched the first season thinking "wow ! so lame !" and what the heck is that electro-crap music ? I just thought I had embellished the show in my memory and that it just wasn't that good anyway. Well, that's part true. The dialogs are sometimes so cheesy they make me want to puke. No wonder Johnny Depp couldn't' wait to get the hell out of this show ! I hadn't understood his move at the time, but now, do I ! So, in search for comfort, I watched season 3 (without bothering with season2). And I watched "Swallowed alive". Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! Totally ruined !!! What have they done to my episode ?!! Even though I knew there wouldn't be the original music because, well, none of the other episodes had their music, I kinda hoped they would have replaced it with something that would keep the spirit of the episode. Boy was I disappointed. Elevator music wouldn't have been worse ! So, my box set made an express on ebay and I am now 21 jump street-free. I was so looking forward to jumping back in my 15 year-old skin... Well, I guess that won't happen anytime soon. And you know what the worst part is ? I had that episode on tape. And some stupid family member taped over it. Life is so cruel.

simonrobinson I was so excited to see that Jump Street was finally released on DVD here in Australia. I went and got the first season and was really disappointed with the quality of it. The footage was compressed to the point where its blurry and pixilated. I know its 80s footage but the distributors ruin it by trying to fit too much on the DVD.Any one from Australia if your wanting to buy the Jump Street series I would recommended buying it from the US instead, you will no doubt end up with a better quality product!
