->''"Shit just got real."''
''Bad Boys'' is a 1995 action comedy film, directed by MichaelBay, and produced by Don Simpson and JerryBruckheimer, producers of ''TopGun'' and ''BeverlyHillsCop'', and starring Martin Lawrence and WillSmith. The film also spawned a 2003 sequel, ''Bad Boys II'', which in turn spawned a video game adaptation, ''Bad Boys: Miami Takedown''.
Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Smith) are best friends and detectives in the narcotics division of the Miami-Dade Police Department. They have just completed the biggest bust of their career, having confiscated about 100 million dollars worth of heroin. Which would have probably earned them an award or two...if the heroin wasn't immediately stolen from supposedly secure police vault. Now the two partners have some investigation to do, while the Internal Affairs Office is threatening to shut down their entire division and Howard, [[DaChief their chief]], is getting desperate for a breakthrough. Their main suspect is Fouchet (Tcheky Karyo), a French drug-lord active in their area. Their only lead to him is Julie Mott (Tea Leoni) who recently witnessed her best friend get killed on his orders.
The film was a box office hit, earning $141,407,024 worldwide. With about 66 million earned in the United States market, it was the 26th most successful film of its year. Critically it was considered a failure, mostly for being rather formulaic. It helped reinvigorate the buddy cop genre.
----
!! The movies contain examples of:
* AccidentalInnuendo: Lampshaded in-universe:
-->'''Store Clerk:''' ''[pointing a gun at Mike and Marcus]'' I blow you! And I blow you!
-->'''Marcus:''' "Blow me?" What the fuck? Naw, naw.
* ActorAllusion: In the first movie, Julie asked Marcus if he "felt funny" and he answers "Well, I'm not a comedian..."
* ArmedAltruism: Syd's rescue in ''Bad Boys 2''.
* AxCrazy: Fouchet, the villain in the first movie. His plan seemed to involve killing everything he came into contact with.
* BackToBackBadasses: The climax of ''Bad Boys 2''.
* BigLittleMan: A hacker is helping the heroes and gets into an argument with one of them. When he stands up to start shouting, it's revealed that he's much taller than "the short one" who's arguing with him.
* BlackAndNerdy: The convict who hacks into databases for the duo. Complete with Urkel glasses. By the sequel he's apparently been released and is either a civilian or got hired by the police.
* ButtMonkey: Marcus, who is not pleased of being the one getting the short end of the stick. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] right at the beginning of the first movie.
--> '''Marcus''': Why do I always get the big thick muthafuckas?
* TheCameo: Dan Marino in the second movie; the boys steal the Caddy he was test driving and later remark that "he should definitely get this car -- well, not ''this'' one, I'm gonna fuck this one up, but one just like it".
** CreatorCameo: Before they take Marino's car, Marcus attempts to commandeer a crappy hatchback driven by Michael Bay himself.
* CarFu: Attempted by the bad guys in the second movie's freeway chase, by means of sending cars off a commandeered car carrier at Mike and Marcus' vehicle.
--> '''Mike''': These dudes are off the chain!
* ChaseScene: It's not a MichaelBay movie without one. It's also not a MichaelBay movie if something doesn't get trashed. Like a boat or a whole slum, for instance.
* CoolCar:
** In the original, Mike Lowrey's 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 (less than 1,000 were made) and the AC Cobra 427 driven by Fouchet in the finale car chase.
** In the sequel, Lowrey's Ferrari 575M Maranello (Michael Bay's own 550 Maranello was used in the freeway chase sequence) and a 2003 Buick Blackhawk concept.
* ContinuityNod: "Now ''that's'' how you 'sposed to drive/shoot! ''From now on, that's how you drive/shoot!''"
* CowboyCop:
** Lampshaded by their boss, Capt. Howard in a hilarious scene in the sequel:
---> I can't believe you guys. Do you get up in the morning, call each other up - "Good morning, Marcus." "Good morning, Mike." "How you doin'?" "A'ight." "So, how are we going to fuck up the captain's life today?" "Gee, I don't know, I don't know... Ooh, look! Over there. Let's kill three fat people and leave them on the street?"
** Captain Howard in the first movie has a similar line:
---> "Ho! ''What'' did I say? Did you hear what I said? I heard what I said 'cause I was standing here when I said it! I ''told'' you. I ''told'' you to secure a witness. ''Not'' to shoot up a neighbourhood! ''Not'' to do another dead body! Just get the dope back and do it ''quietly''."
** Also mocked in the first movie when after revealing his plan to catch the bad guy towards the end of the film, Mike exclaims: "My shit always works sometimes!"
* CupHolders: Marcus complains about Mike's Porsche not having any, which really gets Mike's goat.
* DaChief: Captain Howard.
* TheDanza: Theresa Randle as Theresa Burnett.
* DeadpanSnarker: Julie.
---> "Gee, Julie, what have you been up to the last couple days? Nothing. Just hanging out, handcuffed to steering wheels."
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The discussion between Mike and Marcus in the sequel about the aftermath of Mike shooting Marcus in the butt immediately turns into one big gay joke.
* TheDragon: Roberto in the second film (until he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]]), and then Carlos.
* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Marcus' fro.
* EnforcedMethodActing:
** According to the commentary, while filming the "Driving Miss Daisy" scene, Martin Lawrence had complained to Michael Bay that Will Smith had called him a bitch and he didn't like it. You can guess what Bay told Smith to do next.
** When the actor who played Megan's date Reggie showed up for filming, he was instructed by Martin Lawrence's bouncer that he mustn't look into Lawrence's eyes or talk to him. Lawrence was subsequently nasty to him and the actor also wasn't informed of the gun that Will Smith would pull on him in the scene. All part of a ploy by Michael Bay to make the actor look genuinely scared of Lawrence.

* InnocentInnuendo: See DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything.
** In the first movie, Marcus did not pick the right time to call home to check on his wife and Mike, sparking his jealousy-driven actions in the next scene.
* InterrogationByVandalism: In the sequel, Marcus and Mike get the location of the Haitian gang's hideout by doing this to Icepick's shop.
* IntoxicationEnsues: While searching the mortuary for evidence, Marcus accidentally ingests two hits of ecstasy. Right before going to Captain Howard's house to get a warrant to go after Tapia.
** Played for laughs at first, but later Howard has to call experts in order to figure out what to do to keep Marcus's brain from frying. Turns out, a cold shower works wonders.
* KillItWithFire: Both of [[spoiler: [[TheDragon The Dragons]]]] in the first film die this way.
* LandMineGoesClick: The ending of the sequel.

* MoodWhiplash: Max's friend calls the PD crying about [[spoiler:Max's murder]]. At which point, the chief of police and Marcus get into an argument about how to impersonate Mike.
* [[MuggingTheMonster Mugging The Miami Cops]]: The two carjackers at the beginning of the first movie had the bad luck of choosing to jack one with Mike and Marcus inside:
-->'''Mike:''' Let me tell you how bad a day you're having: right now you're jacking a couple of cops.
* NonIdleRich: Mike chose to become a cop despite being born into wealth. This became a DiscussedTrope when Marcus mentioned everyone thought Mike was "a rich kid playing cop".
-->"What, I'm supposed to ''apologize'' for my family leaving me money? All I ''ever'' wanted to be was a cop! I go out there and take it to the max everyday! I'm the first guy through the door and I'm always the last one to leave the crime scene! So you know what? Fuck you, and fuck them, and fuck ''everybody'' that's got a problem with Mike Lowrey!"

* RareGuns: In the original, Fouchet attempts to pull out a four-barrel COP .357 Derringer, which is no longer in production.
* ReadingYourRights: Marcus rattles these off during a car chase. The villain, of course, is in the other car.
-->'''Marcus:''' You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do will be held against you in a court of law.
-->'''Mike:''' What are you doing?
-->'''Marcus:''' (determined) Getting it out of the way!

* RuthlessForeignGangsters: The very French Fouchet and the Cuban Johnny Tapia.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In ''Bad Boys II'', Marcus' sister is kidnapped by the drug lord and taken to Cuba. Mike and Marcus intend to go rescue her themselves, but are then aided by a loose-knit group of law enforcement agents who decide to risk violating international law.
--> '''DEA Agent Snell''': We don't know you, but you look like you're about to do something stupid. I'm in.
* ShotInTheAss: Yeah. Marcus gets shot in the butt, leading to a series of awkward and badly worded moments later on.
* StormingTheCastle: In the sequel, Mike and Marcus (along with DEA, CIA and law enforcement agents) storm Tapia's villa in Cuba to rescue Marcus' sister before the local government catches them.
* StuffBlowingUp: It wouldn't be a MichaelBay movie without at least a few gratuitous explosions.
** The second movie ratchets it up and ends with [[spoiler:Mike, Marcus, and several other [=TNT=] officers going to Cuba to rescue Marcus' sister who the BigBad has kidnapped. Why does this belong here? THEY WRECK A SHANTYTOWN-SLASH-CRACK LAB ON THE WAY THERE, AND SLAM INTO THE US NAVY BASE, WHERE THE BIG BAD GETS HIS SHIT RUINED BY A MINE]].

->''"Shit just got real."''
''Bad Boys'' is a 1995 action comedy film, directed by MichaelBay, and produced by Don Simpson and JerryBruckheimer, producers of ''TopGun'' and ''BeverlyHillsCop'', and starring Martin Lawrence and WillSmith. The film also spawned a 2003 sequel, ''Bad Boys II'', which in turn spawned a video game adaptation, ''Bad Boys: Miami Takedown''.
Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Smith) are best friends and detectives in the narcotics division of the Miami-Dade Police Department. They have just completed the biggest bust of their career, having confiscated about 100 million dollars worth of heroin. Which would have probably earned them an award or two...if the heroin wasn't immediately stolen from supposedly secure police vault. Now the two partners have some investigation to do, while the Internal Affairs Office is threatening to shut down their entire division and Howard, [[DaChief their chief]], is getting desperate for a breakthrough. Their main suspect is Fouchet (Tcheky Karyo), a French drug-lord active in their area. Their only lead to him is Julie Mott (Tea Leoni) who recently witnessed her best friend get killed on his orders.
The film was a box office hit, earning $141,407,024 worldwide. With about 66 million earned in the United States market, it was the 26th most successful film of its year. Critically it was considered a failure, mostly for being rather formulaic. It helped reinvigorate the buddy cop genre.
----
!! The movies contain examples of:
* AccidentalInnuendo: Lampshaded in-universe:
-->'''Store Clerk:''' ''[pointing a gun at Mike and Marcus]'' I blow you! And I blow you!
-->'''Marcus:''' "Blow me?" What the fuck? Naw, naw.
* ActorAllusion: In the first movie, Julie asked Marcus if he "felt funny" and he answers "Well, I'm not a comedian..."
* ArmedAltruism: Syd's rescue in ''Bad Boys 2''.
* AxCrazy: Fouchet, the villain in the first movie. His plan seemed to involve killing everything he came into contact with.
* BackToBackBadasses: The climax of ''Bad Boys 2''.
* BigLittleMan: A hacker is helping the heroes and gets into an argument with one of them. When he stands up to start shouting, it's revealed that he's much taller than "the short one" who's arguing with him.
* BlackAndNerdy: The convict who hacks into databases for the duo. Complete with Urkel glasses. By the sequel he's apparently been released and is either a civilian or got hired by the police.
* ButtMonkey: Marcus, who is not pleased of being the one getting the short end of the stick. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] right at the beginning of the first movie.
--> '''Marcus''': Why do I always get the big thick muthafuckas?
* TheCameo: Dan Marino in the second movie; the boys steal the Caddy he was test driving and later remark that "he should definitely get this car -- well, not ''this'' one, I'm gonna fuck this one up, but one just like it".
** CreatorCameo: Before they take Marino's car, Marcus attempts to commandeer a crappy hatchback driven by Michael Bay himself.
* CarFu: Attempted by the bad guys in the second movie's freeway chase, by means of sending cars off a commandeered car carrier at Mike and Marcus' vehicle.
--> '''Mike''': These dudes are off the chain!
* ChaseScene: It's not a MichaelBay movie without one. It's also not a MichaelBay movie if something doesn't get trashed. Like a boat or a whole slum, for instance.
* CoolCar:
** In the original, Mike Lowrey's 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 (less than 1,000 were made) and the AC Cobra 427 driven by Fouchet in the finale car chase.
** In the sequel, Lowrey's Ferrari 575M Maranello (Michael Bay's own 550 Maranello was used in the freeway chase sequence) and a 2003 Buick Blackhawk concept.
* ContinuityNod: "Now ''that's'' how you 'sposed to drive/shoot! ''From now on, that's how you drive/shoot!''"
* CowboyCop:
** Lampshaded by their boss, Capt. Howard in a hilarious scene in the sequel:
---> I can't believe you guys. Do you get up in the morning, call each other up - "Good morning, Marcus." "Good morning, Mike." "How you doin'?" "A'ight." "So, how are we going to fuck up the captain's life today?" "Gee, I don't know, I don't know... Ooh, look! Over there. Let's kill three fat people and leave them on the street?"
** Captain Howard in the first movie has a similar line:
---> "Ho! ''What'' did I say? Did you hear what I said? I heard what I said 'cause I was standing here when I said it! I ''told'' you. I ''told'' you to secure a witness. ''Not'' to shoot up a neighbourhood! ''Not'' to do another dead body! Just get the dope back and do it ''quietly''."
** Also mocked in the first movie when after revealing his plan to catch the bad guy towards the end of the film, Mike exclaims: "My shit always works sometimes!"
* CupHolders: Marcus complains about Mike's Porsche not having any, which really gets Mike's goat.
* DaChief: Captain Howard.
* TheDanza: Theresa Randle as Theresa Burnett.
* DeadpanSnarker: Julie.
---> "Gee, Julie, what have you been up to the last couple days? Nothing. Just hanging out, handcuffed to steering wheels."
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The discussion between Mike and Marcus in the sequel about the aftermath of Mike shooting Marcus in the butt immediately turns into one big gay joke.
* TheDragon: Roberto in the second film (until he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]]), and then Carlos.
* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Marcus' fro.
* EnforcedMethodActing:
** According to the commentary, while filming the "Driving Miss Daisy" scene, Martin Lawrence had complained to Michael Bay that Will Smith had called him a bitch and he didn't like it. You can guess what Bay told Smith to do next.
** When the actor who played Megan's date Reggie showed up for filming, he was instructed by Martin Lawrence's bouncer that he mustn't look into Lawrence's eyes or talk to him. Lawrence was subsequently nasty to him and the actor also wasn't informed of the gun that Will Smith would pull on him in the scene. All part of a ploy by Michael Bay to make the actor look genuinely scared of Lawrence.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: There's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhxmszpKSyQ Bay's signature 360 steadicam shot]]... and then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUZ9qAOaN5Q this scene]]. See also OrbitalShot.
* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even A Bad Man Loves His Mama and Daughter]]: Johnny Tapia.
* EvilIsHammy: Any bad guy who appears in each movie has the tendencies to do this - most notably Johnny Tapia.
* ExiledToTheCouch: Marcus in the first movie.
* FatAndSkinny: In Bad Boys I, the two carjackers and Fouchet's two [[TheDragon dragons]].
* FlashedBadgeHijack: {{Parodied| Trope}} in the sequel, where an attempt to commandeer a rundown car leads Marcus to get yelled at and told to commandeer a better car. See also TheCameo.
* FrenchJerk: Fouchet again.
* FunWithAcronyms: The '''T'''actical '''N'''arcotics '''T'''eam in ''2''.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Johnny Tapia, after receiving a headshot delivered by Marcus, drops himself on a minefield.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Prevalent in the sequel.
--> '''Mike:''' We ride together. We die together. [[TitleDrop Bad Boys]] for life.
* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer
* InnocentInnuendo: See DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything.
** In the first movie, Marcus did not pick the right time to call home to check on his wife and Mike, sparking his jealousy-driven actions in the next scene.
* InterrogationByVandalism: In the sequel, Marcus and Mike get the location of the Haitian gang's hideout by doing this to Icepick's shop.
* IntoxicationEnsues: While searching the mortuary for evidence, Marcus accidentally ingests two hits of ecstasy. Right before going to Captain Howard's house to get a warrant to go after Tapia.
** Played for laughs at first, but later Howard has to call experts in order to figure out what to do to keep Marcus's brain from frying. Turns out, a cold shower works wonders.
* KillItWithFire: Both of [[spoiler: [[TheDragon The Dragons]]]] in the first film die this way.
* LandMineGoesClick: The ending of the sequel.
* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Marcus suffers a bout of this in ''2'' after getting ShotInTheAss. He only gets better after accidentally ingesting two hits of X (see above).
* {{Lzherusskie}}: PeterStormare.
* MisplacedNamesPoster: The poster for ''2''.
* MoeGreeneSpecial: Mike gives one to an unfortunate gangbanger that tries to peek through a bullet hole.
* MoodWhiplash: Max's friend calls the PD crying about [[spoiler:Max's murder]]. At which point, the chief of police and Marcus get into an argument about how to impersonate Mike.
* [[MuggingTheMonster Mugging The Miami Cops]]: The two carjackers at the beginning of the first movie had the bad luck of choosing to jack one with Mike and Marcus inside:
-->'''Mike:''' Let me tell you how bad a day you're having: right now you're jacking a couple of cops.
* NonIdleRich: Mike chose to become a cop despite being born into wealth. This became a DiscussedTrope when Marcus mentioned everyone thought Mike was "a rich kid playing cop".
-->"What, I'm supposed to ''apologize'' for my family leaving me money? All I ''ever'' wanted to be was a cop! I go out there and take it to the max everyday! I'm the first guy through the door and I'm always the last one to leave the crime scene! So you know what? Fuck you, and fuck them, and fuck ''everybody'' that's got a problem with Mike Lowrey!"
* OhCrap: After realizing their [[InnocentInnuendo post-"shot-in-the-ass"]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything conversation]] in the tech store was being transmitted on a TV in the main lobby.
* OnlyInMiami: The heroes are a couple of {{cowboy cop}}s working for the Miami PD.
* OrbitalShot:
** In the original, after Mike saves Marcus from being hit by the taxi during Julie's kidnapping.
** In ''Bad Boys II'':
--->"Shit just got ''real''."
* PreMortemOneLiner: Marcus in the first movie: "You forgot your ''boarding pass!''"

* RareGuns: In the original, Fouchet attempts to pull out a four-barrel COP .357 Derringer, which is no longer in production.
* ReadingYourRights: Marcus rattles these off during a car chase. The villain, of course, is in the other car.
-->'''Marcus:''' You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do will be held against you in a court of law.
-->'''Mike:''' What are you doing?
-->'''Marcus:''' (determined) Getting it out of the way!
* RuleOfThree: In the second movie. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud-U-rv1tXA Three "Oh, shit"s in 12 seconds (from 9:44).]]
* RuthlessForeignGangsters: The very French Fouchet and the Cuban Johnny Tapia.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In ''Bad Boys II'', Marcus' sister is kidnapped by the drug lord and taken to Cuba. Mike and Marcus intend to go rescue her themselves, but are then aided by a loose-knit group of law enforcement agents who decide to risk violating international law.
--> '''DEA Agent Snell''': We don't know you, but you look like you're about to do something stupid. I'm in.
* ShotInTheAss: Yeah. Marcus gets shot in the butt, leading to a series of awkward and badly worded moments later on.
* StormingTheCastle: In the sequel, Mike and Marcus (along with DEA, CIA and law enforcement agents) storm Tapia's villa in Cuba to rescue Marcus' sister before the local government catches them.
* StuffBlowingUp: It wouldn't be a MichaelBay movie without at least a few gratuitous explosions.
** The second movie ratchets it up and ends with [[spoiler:Mike, Marcus, and several other [=TNT=] officers going to Cuba to rescue Marcus' sister who the BigBad has kidnapped. Why does this belong here? THEY WRECK A SHANTYTOWN-SLASH-CRACK LAB ON THE WAY THERE, AND SLAM INTO THE US NAVY BASE, WHERE THE BIG BAD GETS HIS SHIT RUINED BY A MINE]].
** Before that they blow up a mansion -- a ''real mansion'' [[http://priceypads.com/29599/bad-boys-2-mansion-demolition/ that the owners didn't want and figured some lucky director ought to have some fun with it.]]
* SuicideByCop: Fouchet tries to goad Mike into doing this for him, but he only gets killed after he tries to pull a gun on Marcus.
* SwordOverHead
* TakeFive:
-->'''Marcus''': Mike. Go downstairs and have a Coke and a smile.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: "Hey, freeze, bitch!"
** "''You'' freeze, '''bitch'''."
* ThoseTwoGuys: The two Hispanic detectives Sanchez and Ruiz in the first movie, then Vargas and Reyes in the second.
* ThrowItIn: Lawrence's "two bitches in the sea" line was totally improvised, as was his reaction to Leoni calling him gay.
** Much of the script for the first movie included some degree of this. Since the script was originally written for two white man characters, Lawrence and Smith helped Bay rewrite a lot of the dialogue on the spot.
* TimeForPlanB: in ''Bad Boys II'', this involves driving a Humvee through a house.
-->Mike: "Plan B did ''not'' have this big-ass gun in it!"
* TookALevelInBadass: Both of the main characters in the second film, especially Mike.
* TwerpSweating: And ''how''. Probably the best example ever in film history occurs in the sequel when Megan's date arrives. Please [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h_ZX2aqJbQ enjoy]].
* UncleTomfoolery: Sort of. Both heroes are black, and Marcus is the "straight-laced white guy."
