Bad Boys 4 still a hit despite controversial scene

Mar 27, 2024 11:31 AM

The highly anticipated Bad Boys 4, officially titled "Bad Boys: Ride or Die," has dropped its first trailer, reigniting excitement for the return of the dynamic duo Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. In this fourth installment, the action-packed narrative revolves around the pair's quest to clear their late police captain's name from corruption charges. While the trailer is packed with high-octane action typical for the franchise, one particular gun-tossing scene at the 2:25 mark stands out for its unique, if somewhat goofy, presentation, distinguishing it in the slate of action movie trailers. The trailer also marks the return of several cast members and introduces new ones, and teases the June 7 release date for the film. Bad Boys 4 will also bring the directorial talents of Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who previously directed 2020's Bad Boys for Life and were involved with the now-shelved Batgirl movie.

When is Bad Boys: Ride or Die set to release?

Bad Boys: Ride or Die is confirmed for a cinematic release on June 7.

Bad Boys 4 continues the legacy of the Bad Boys film series that began in 1995 with the original Bad Boys film, directed by Michael Bay. The movies have been known for their blend of comedy and explosive action sequences, centering around two Miami narcotics detectives, Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, portrayed by Will Smith and Martin Lawrence respectively. Over the years, the franchise has garnered a dedicated fanbase and has been a box office success, contributing to the careers of Smith and Lawrence as action movie icons.
