oh **** yes. Ive seen bad boys at least 30 times from start to finish. Obviously vastly superior to the sequel, but it wasnt so terrible that im not excited for a 3rd!
I recently found the original VHS of the first movie in my stuff at my parents house, one of my favorite movies of all time. Sequel had its moments but was way too long and showed some very questionable morale, at least in hindsight.
I am very cautiously optimistic about the new one, but odds are generally not in favor of projects that get pushed back over and over for a decade+. Let’s see if production really gets underway early next year.
There was a Bad Boys prison picture with a young Sean Penn back in the 80s that seems to have been supplanted by the 90s black buddy cop thing in popular culture.
