In 1995, Will Smith and Michael Bay were names known for things that were well outside the realm of blockbuster filmmaking. Oh sure, Bay had done quite a few well received music videos, and Smith was in millions of homes and stereos as The Fresh Prince. But once Bad Boys was released, everything changed. Smith became a huge box office draw and Bay would go on to make five films that contained robots fighting which we covered on this podcast last year. So what happened to the once top billed Martin Lawrence? And why are we getting Bad Boys For Life a mere 17 years following the second installment? Those are among the many things this retrospective featuring myself, Matt, and Michael Guarnieri, will explore.
It had no reason to be a box office success. It had no reason to be well reviewed. Yet, despite being in development for 17 years, a January release date, and original director Michael Bay being replaced by two unproven directors from Belgium, Bad Boys For Life has outgrossed its $90 million budget and has already been greenlit for a sequel. But is it as good as its critical success would suggest?
Join Matt, Mike, and myself as we go down the road that is Bad Boys For Life and do everything from compare it to Gemini Man to wondering what the future holds for Sony’s surprisingly successful Bad Boys franchise. Oh, not to mention give ratings out of ten. How will we feel about it?
Special thanks to Matt, and especially Mike, who took this journey through the Bad Boys franchise without having seen a bit of it beforehand. Did he have a good time? Listen below to find out!
