Trivia
- Ghost is the only villain of the Jump Street franchise that his final fate is ambiguous. Mr. Walters and Eric Molson were arrested and Domingo was killed in 21 Jump Street; his henchmen (along his pilot) and the Mexican dealers were incapacitated and killed during the fight in Puerto Mexico, and Mercedes Nillsen was arrested by Captain Dickson in 22 Jump Street.
- However, it is confirmed that all the mock-sequels (including 34 Jump Street: Return of the Ghost) that appear at the credits of 22 Jump Street are canonical and will be explained in MiB 23, implying that the Ghost likely survived the explosion of his helicopter, but it is unknown if his pilot suffered the same luck).
