Martin and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air were two of the biggest sitcoms in the 90s, making Martin Lawrence and Will Smith two of the biggest stars of that era. So of course, it was a big deal when these two collaborated on a film, even if it was directed by the then freshman Michael Bay. It’s hard to believe that it’s been twenty years since the release of Bad Boys, but it is still popular enough for another sequel to be the works.
Marcus Burnett is a hen-pecked family man. Mike Lowry is a foot-loose and fancy free ladies’ man. Both are Miami policemen, and both have 72 hours to reclaim a consignment of drugs stolen from under their station’s nose. To complicate matters, in order to get the assistance of the sole witness to a murder, they have to pretend to be each other.
