    • Trivia
      Omar Epps mentioned in several interviews that he greatly disliked the denim Levi's clothes he and the cast had to wear because the jeans were very tight. He mentioned that there are several moments captured on screen during film where he wears a frown and grimace facial expression due to his jeans being too tight. The clothing in the film was specifically customized and provided by Levi's. When the film was released, Levi's put out denim commercials featuring Epps, Danes, and Ribisi.
    • Goofs
      Near the end, Peter Cochran and Julie Barnes jump out of a moving vehicle that crashes into an almost empty warehouse. After it crashes through one wall, you can hear tires screeching as if someone had slammed on the brakes. However, no one was in the vehicle to do so.

      [Julie hits Pete across the head]

      Julie: Nice job.

      Pete: Okay, I really did not like that at all, all right? Let me just explain somethin'. I was blending.

      Julie: You just blended your ass right out of the club, man

      Pete: Oh, come on! They're gonna let me back in the club.

      Julie: Oh no, I believe the words were "you're gone for-fucking-ever." Greer's gonna kick your ass

      Pete: Hey you know what? Eat me.

      Julie: Come on. Lets go. You wanna lose another fight, Petey?

      Pete: No. Who was the guy that you were talkin' to all night?

      Julie: What guy?

      Pete: Yeah, "what guy." What guy?

      Linc: A suspect?

      Julie: What? No. I don't even know what he's talkin' about. God, how could you see anything? You had your head buried in a pair of tits all night.

      Pete: I could see things because I got eyes behind my head, all right? Julie's got a boyfriend. Julie's got...

      Julie: Please grow up!

      Pete: Let's all together, in harmony.

    The Vidiot Reviews...
    The Mod Squad

    The worst part about employing young undercover cops is they binge drink at house parties and break cover.

    Thankfully, the covert trio in this action movie are too busy tracking a killer to attend ragers.

    Opting to work for the police in a new department instead of serving time, Julie (Claire Danes), Pete (Giovanni Ribisi) and Linc (Omar Epps) are trained in the art of infiltration by their mentor Capt. Greer (Dennis Farina).

    But when Greer ends up on the wrong side of a drug lord's gun, the motley crew must bring his killer to justice.

    A slapdash adaptation of the groundbreaking counterculture cop drama from the '60s, this 1999 version lacks the social and political undercurrent of its source material.

    Instead, it's a lifeless and shoddily acted knock-off - similar to the original in name only.

    Besides, immature undercover officers today can't stop posting on Twitter about being undercover.
