History Film / BadBoys1995

* BadBoss: Fouchet, who never had pity for anyone and orchestrated several murders pretty unnecessary. He masterminds the theft of millions of dollars worth of heroin from a police station evidence lock up. To that end, he has one of his men dress up as a police officer, and then kills him in order to create a distraction. When Eddie, who helped him set the heist up, decides to party with some hookers and a tiny portion of the stash, Fouchet kills Eddie, kills his chemistry team for "fucking with my schedule", and murders his buyer when the police interrupt the deal.

--> '''Marcus''': Why do I always get the big thick muthafuckas?

---> "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''."

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Mike and Marcus fighting in their very first scene, and then using that fight to get the drop on some would-be robbers.

-->'''Marcus:''' What are you ''doin'''?
-->'''Mike(grimly):''' Getting it out of the way.

* OddCouple: Marcus Burnett with Mike Lowry.

-->'''Mike:''' What are you talking about? You sleep with a beautiful woman every night!

* VomitingCop: A discovery of a coprse makes Marcus ill, and he has to leave the scene so that he can throw up.

* YouHaveFailedMe: Fouchet kills his chemistry team for fucking with his schedule.

* HonoraryUncle: Mike is this Marcus's kids

* InternalAffairs: Captain Allison Sinclair instantly acts upon the belief that there were dirty cops involved in Fouchet's operation, which forces Howard, Marcus and Mike [[RaceAgainstTime to find out who is responsible and fast]]. At the climax she even enters Howard's office and tells him that his office has been disbanded (which is probably swhy [[Film/BadBoysII in the other]] [[Film/BadBoysForLife two films]] the three of them work on other teams).

''Bad Boys'' is a 1995 action comedy film, directed by Creator/MichaelBay, and produced by Don Simpson and Creator/JerryBruckheimer, producers of ''Film/TopGun'' and ''Film/BeverlyHillsCop'', and starring Martin Lawrence and Creator/WillSmith.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: At the end of the confrontation with the convenience store clerk.

* AxCrazy: Fouchet, the main villain. His plan seemed to ultimately involve [[ForTheEvulz killing everything]] he came into contact with.

* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Marcus's wife shows Mike a photo of him with [[FunnyAfro a fro]].

* TheLoad: Julie.

%%* FrenchJerk: Fouchet again.

* StrawVegatarian: Julie who criticized Marcus eating baloney, and picky with shampoo that's animal testing.

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 a 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 Captain Conrad Howard (Creator/JoePantoliano), [[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.

* TriggerHappy: Fouchet seems to have only two settings: angry, and murderously angry. And when he's on the latter, he just has to shoot someone, no matter how disproportionate it is (the crime that puts the protagonists on the path to find him is murdering Eddie and the prostitute he was with, for ''one'' brick of heroin, then he kills his chemist because they "fucked with his schedule", even if cutting heroine is an incredibly (''explosively'') delicate business and it's obvious they were rushing things as much as they could, then he shoots the buyer on the spot the moment he sees the cops. He even pulls a gun on Mike after the man lets him live after the final chase, wasting his LastSecondChance.

** Mike Lowry also came from [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir a privileged background]].

* DistractedByTheSexy: [[ExploitedTrope Exploited]]. Some carjackers send a hot girl to distract Mike and Marcus, after which they use their distraction to approach Mike's car and hold them at gunpoint. Later in the movie when the main duo infiltrate a night club, Mike is entranced by the strippers, prompting Marcus to reprimand him.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Mike is flirting with a stripper, Marcus is getting his [[CampingACrapper ass kicked in the bathroom]] (visible by an aquarium that quickly gets smashed).

%%* ExiledToTheCouch: Marcus.

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Fouchet's only reaction to anything that pisses him off is to growl, pull out his gun and blow it away, even if it doesn't really makes sense. At the climactic gunfight he even kills the man buying his drugs for no good apparent reason other than him just ''being there''.

And when he's on the latter, he just has to shoot someone, no matter how disproportionate it is (the crime that puts the protagonists on the path to find him is murdering Eddie and the prostitute he was with -- for ''one'' brick of heroin, then he kills his chemist because they "fucked with his schedule" -- even if cutting heroine is an incredibly (''explosively'') delicate business and it's obvious they were rushing things as much as they could -- then he shoots the buyer on the climactic raid for no good reason than... the man standing there looking stupid? Maybe he thought that the buyer led the cops to him, but he doesn't says anything, he just growls in anger and kills the guy). He even pulls a gun on Mike after the man lets him live after the final chase, wasting his LastSecondChance.
