The first trailer for the upcoming remake of cop caper CHiPs sees its leading men Michael Pena and Dax Shepard in fine form.

Debuting on Wednesday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the action-packed teaser introduces Shepard as rookie officer Jon Baker and Pena as undercover FBI agent Frank 'Ponch' Poncherello.

Taking inspiration from the light-hearted 1970s drama and bringing it into the modern day, the duo set about infiltrating corrupt LA cops.

A chip off the old block: The first trailer for the upcoming remake of cop caper CHiPs  sees its leading men Michael Pena and Dax Shepard in fine form

The film's two stars gave Kimmel a helping hand to introduce the trailer, arriving in the studio on motorbikes and dressed in their police uniforms.

Sharing plenty of on-screen chemistry, Baker and Ponch get a little closer than the latter would like on a couple of humorous occasions.

It wouldn't be a buddy comedy without a smattering of juvenile humour, and the trailer puts a tick in that box.
