- TriviaLong time supporting characters Harlan, Bonnie and Turner do not appear in the film. Randi Oakes (Bonnie) retired from acting to raise her family shortly after CHiPs ended, and Michael Dorn (Turner) was busy with Star Trek projects at the time. Thom Riley, who replaced Larry Wilcox during the show's final season does not appear as Bobby Nelson, though Bruce Penhall reprises his role as Bruce Nelson.
- GoofsPonch was depicted as having left the CHP while Jon stayed with it. During CHiPs final season, it was Jon who left the CHP, while Ponch remained a member. However, it's possible Jon could have left on a sabbatical at that time, then returned in the intervening years with Ponch having left at some point afterward.

Featured review
CHiPs '99
CHiPs was always a cheesy television show something that strictly belonged to the late 1970s and early 1980s.
CHiPs '99 is a reunion television movie and presumably a backdoor pilot that failed to fly.
Ponch (Erik Estrada) is now widowed with a young son who has been working in San Francisco. Painting the Golden Gate bridge.
Jon (Larry Wilcox) is married to a younger woman and is the captain of the precinct. He also has a neighbour's dog that leaves a mess in his garden.
Ponch has rejoined the force and finds himself back in LA reunited with his old buddies and some new ones. One young hotshot has given Ponch a ticket.
Soon the police are tracking down a carjacking ring. It seems the cars are targeted and Ponch has a hunch and it involves a tour coach.
The main plot is silly and gets sillier. There is a woman who drives Mercedes who seems to be on the mobile phone the entire time even when she is being rammed by the baddies. At least her muscles indicate that she is also a stuntwoman. The brakes fail in her car and she has to jump on a motorbike.
There is fun to see old friends reunite, there are clips from the old television show. There are also some incongruous cameos ranging from Judge Judy, Johnny Cochran and Garry Marshall.
This is strictly kitsch and only likely to be enjoyed by those who watched the television show.
