If, like me, you grew up watching Erik Estrada cruising down the California highway on his police chopper, looking all badass in his dark sunglasses, then you’ll definitely want to check out the raunchy Red Band trailer for the big screen version of CHiPs in today’s Movie Morsels.

Will anyone put this Baby in a corner? We’ll find out on May 24th.
