22 Jump Street (2014) Trivia Questions & Answers
- Who plays Morton Schmidt in 22 Jump Street?
Correct Answer: Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill returns as Morton Schmidt, the socially awkward but emotionally sharp half of the undercover duo. His dynamic with Channing Tatum’s Jenko continues to deliver both heartfelt and hysterical moments, solidifying them as one of the best comedy pairings of the 2010s.
- What type of school do Schmidt and Jenko infiltrate in this sequel?
Correct Answer: College
After successfully busting a drug ring in high school, Schmidt and Jenko are reassigned to a local college to track down the source of a new synthetic drug. The film humorously pokes fun at the idea of sequels by reusing the same structure in a new setting — and calls itself out for doing it.
- What is the name of the new synthetic drug central to the investigation?
Correct Answer: WHY-PHY
Pronounced “Wi-Fi,” WHY-PHY is the latest party drug on campus — known for giving users focused energy followed by a deadly crash. It’s both the MacGuffin of the plot and a way to satirize drug culture in college. The name itself fits with the film’s quirky, tech-laced humor.
- What sport does Jenko join while undercover?
Correct Answer: Football
Jenko quickly bonds with the college football players, especially Zook, leading to a “bromantic” subplot where he starts drifting from Schmidt. Their relationship woes are hilariously treated like a romantic breakup, turning emotional beats into some of the film’s funniest moments.
- Who is revealed to be the supplier of the drug?
Correct Answer: Maya’s roommate Mercedes
In a twist, the true mastermind behind the drug is Mercedes, Maya’s aggressive and unpredictable roommate. Her reveal comes late in the film, after several red herrings, and leads to the explosive showdown during Spring Break.
- Which character is revealed to be dating Schmidt’s undercover persona?
Correct Answer: Maya
Maya, played by Amber Stevens West, starts dating Schmidt during the investigation — much to his delight and eventual horror when he finds out she’s Captain Dickson’s daughter. Their awkward romantic scenes lead to one of the film’s funniest and most cringeworthy revelations.
- What major plot twist shocks Captain Dickson?
Correct Answer: Schmidt is dating his daughter
When Dickson (Ice Cube) finds out Schmidt hooked up with his daughter, his over-the-top rage creates one of the film’s most memorable and meme-worthy moments — especially when the entire cafeteria finds out at once. It’s a brilliant mix of personal and professional fallout.
- Where does the final showdown take place?
Correct Answer: Spring Break in Mexico
The final act takes the action to Spring Break, complete with beach parties, jet skis, and exploding hotels. It’s a massive, chaotic sequence filled with shootouts, chases, and a dramatic mid-air fight — perfectly over-the-top for a movie that thrives on pushing every boundary.
- What running joke is made about the budget for their operation?
Correct Answer: They got a ridiculous upgrade
The sequel pokes fun at itself by having the Jump Street program suddenly receive a huge budget — complete with a glass HQ, fancy gear, and tech specialists. It’s a meta-commentary on Hollywood sequels getting “bigger” in every way, regardless of whether it makes sense.
- What is teased in the end credits of the film?
Correct Answer: Multiple fictional sequels
The end credits montage is a comedic masterpiece on its own — teasing fake future sequels like Medical School, Flight School, Dance Academy, and even Foreign Exchange. It’s a brilliant parody of franchise fatigue and a fitting way to close a film that’s all about breaking the fourth wall.
