Lowrey (Will Smith - 'Men In Black') and Burnett (Martin Lawrence), Miami's most mismatched cops, are called upon to solve the case before the FBI close their department. Julie (Tea Leoni) is their only lead to the case, but will only speak to Lowrey. As he is not around when she calls, Burnett impersonates his cool, slick partner. A hilarious role reversal begins in order to retain her trust. From then on, it's a race against time as the trio dodge the mob, and retain their charade while putting pressure on every low-life in Miami's underworld to track down their man.
Totally tongue-in-cheek, Bad Boys pits two brothers against the world with an arsenal of ... more
wisecracks and women-talk. The humour and tone is summed up succinctly by the "nah-nah-nah-nah" of "I've Got A Little Something For You" (MN8). Joined for the ride by Diana King, Warren G, KMFDM, 2PAC and plenty more phonetically challenging one-hit wonders, this collection of Rhythmic American Poetry is a perfect snapshot of the mid-90s development of African-Americans' profile in film. It is of course one of those soundtracks that represents songs which appeared for only a few seconds here and there. As such the full-lengths cut time available for Mark Mancina's genre defining score. His four-minute theme can't fail to impress with its savvy interpolation of street rhythm into an irritatingly catchy "hero" motif. Coupled with his score for Speed, this is the theme that launched his career. Overall, here's an album that makes for an ideal workout for your car stereo. --Paul Tonks

A large stash of heroin has somehow been taken from the police headquarters. Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano) gives the boys 4 days to find the stash before Internal Affairs threaten to take over. To add to the chase of the missing heroin, they get a crazed call from Julie (Tea Leoni) who has witnessed the murder of one of Mike Lowrey’s good friends. The only problem is that when she calls the station Mike is nowhere to be seen. The Captain insists that Marcus take on the girl and in doing so he will have to forgo his normal status of the married man and make out he is Mike Lowrey for however long it takes. When Marcus realises that Julie is in danger and is somehow linked to the missing heroin he has to move into Mikes swish bachelor pad and ‘be Mike’. With that decided, Mike moves in with Marcus’ wife and kids as they think Marcus is away on assignment somewhere. In the bid to track down the heroin and the man they get a little bit more than they bargained for.
This film is pretty old but in my eyes will never be dated. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith have never been better suited to two roles like these. The characters they play are hilarious and the interaction they have with each other makes for a great combination. Very few action films out there manage to get the balance right between the action and the comedy but this film does it perfectly. With Lowrey being the rich cop that drives the fast car, has all the moves and loves the women. His polar opposite is Burnett who is married with kids, neurotic and downright crazy. The pair together are sensational and this film is one of my favourites. I never tire of watching it and the plot is good along with the comedy and one liners following on. The casting of this film is faultless. Captain Howard played by Pantoliano is the perfect seasoning to the dish. He has the right edge for the film and plays the stressed out captain to a tee.
Some of the scenes in the film can be so fast paced and action filled and at the same time so funny. There is a scene at the very end of the film where Burnett has to drive Lowrey’s Porsche. Knowing that Marcus drives ‘like Miss Daisy’, after a thrilling car chase that leaves you wondering who is going to come off worse, Lowrey turns to Burnett and says “Now THAT’S how you drive”. There are countless scenes that bring tears to my eyes including the one where they go to a convenience store and the store clerk goes crazy. The Director of this film, Michael Bay, actually allowed Will Smith and Martin Lawrence to improvise which is why that convenience store scene actually came about.
If you have never seen this film, I would ask that you take the time to watch it. If action and comedy are two genres of film that you like, you can’t go wrong with this film.
There are various extras on this film but depending on what version you brought and in what year they may differ however you may get the following:
Filmographies Commentary Music Video Theatrical Trailer Featurette Documentary
Advantages: Brilliant comedy chemistry Disadvantages: Not the strongest storyline
...the Boom and Bang into Bad Boys featurette, SFX featurette, Directors commentary, photo gallery, isolated score, music videos from 69 boyz and diana king, trailers and filmographies.
You can pick this up for less than a fiver from play.com and also available is the boxset including the second film for relatively cheap.
OVERALL - Bad Boys is comedically, one of the best films around in my opinion. Action wise it can be a little short but as an all ... ...and Lawrence is the main reason for watching and enjoying, the action and storyline becomes secondary. Right from the start you get an idea of what these two guys are like and it continues to succeed all the way through. If you liked this its worth checking out the sequel which had a higher budget but in my eyes was lacking in comedy between the two. Enjoy, live the dream. ...

The film revolves around Miami Detectives Mike Lowrey ( Will Smith - I am Legend, Hitch) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence - Black Knight, Blue Streak).

Marcus (Martin Lawrence) is a family man with a wife and kids, and does the job to earn a wage to keep his family, he brings a sense of responsibility to the partnership. That said he is still funny, cockey and doesn't take any messing when it comes to taking out criminals. It is a very strange partnership but I think it works very well.

...barely gotten off the mark; Bad Boys, however, united Will Smith (in his breakout performance) and Martin Lawrence as the two mismatched cops, in amidst of the team's soon-to-be-trademark explosion; the film became an instant hit.
If you've already seen the much more over the top (and far superior) sequel then you'll think the action in Bad Boys is much paler in comparison. Granted, the film had much lesser budget at the time, and relies on much ... ...the less said about the bad guys the better- they suck... would you be scared of a soft spoken Frenchman?

The bastard. To make things even harder, somewhere in the ...

"...The maestros of mayhem still stage destruction like a Wagner opera..." (USA Today, p.3D, 07/04/1995)
"...[Lawrence and Smith's] interplay is engaging, and their lively, raucous personalities keep the proceedings punchy..." (Variety, 03/04/1995)
DVD Description
Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is a happily married family man. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) is a smooth-talking, freewheeling bachelor. Both are cops in the narcotics division of the Miami police department. When $100 million dollars worth of seized heroin is stolen from their police station, the mismatched duo are forced to switch identities to placate the only witness (Tea Leoni) who can lead them to the drug lord responsible and save their jobs before the FBI closes them down. This explosion-heavy, chase-filled, gun-smoking action comedy is directed by Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR) and showcases comedic odd-couple-style bantering between the aptly paired Smith and Lawrence.
