Bad Boys is a 1995 comedy about Fraser Hood and Malky Mulherron, two rival Glasgow gangsters. After briefly reigniting their longstanding feud with one another, the two join forces against a pair of London Gangsters trying to encroach on their patch.
Not to be confused with the Buddy Cop action movie of the same name starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

- Putting the Band Back Together: Fraser tasks Wayne with getting all the old Nitshill Boys back together for a turf war. Wayne soon finds that they're Feeling Their Age and would rather stay home on a Friday night and watch Brookside and Grace Under Fire.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Fraser, although Wayne is quick to cut him down.Fraser: The name "Fraser Hood" still carries some weight in this town.Wayne: So do the bags under your eyes.
