American hip-hop artist Ice Cube says that the new movie '22 Jump Street' is "crazier" than the 2012 original film.
The 44-year-old star says directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller have made the sequel even more outrageous, reported Contactmusic.
"It's a lot crazier! If you give Phil Lord and Chris Miller more money, then they come up with more crazy stuff. We had fun," he said.
"We were able to improve as much as we wanted. We were getting nice, juicy takes of all kinds of crazy stuff. You could cut two movies together," he added.
The actor is set to reprise his role as Captain Dickson in the comedy franchise.
"I always want to read the script before I totally commit, but it was pretty clear that they wanted me to be a part of the sequel and they wanted to beef up my role," he said.
"You can't be mad at that. I told them to pencil me in and let me check it out," he added.
