Lowery and Burnett’s take charge style is now outdated. While some things remain the same-Joe Pantoliano as Captain Conrad Howard-some things do change. But after a mysterious assassin (Jacob Scipio) is sent by a Mexican convict Isabel (Kate del Castillo) to hunt his partner down, the sign is enough for Burnett to walk away. He rubs cocoa butter midnight into his goatee to hide his graying. A loner who’s only been in love once, he can barely confront the fact that he’s aging. Lowery doesn’t think, and doesn’t want, their days as cops to end. Now a grandfather, Burnett would rather retire than remain a gut-toting wrecking crew-which runs in sharp contrast to his partner. And while Burnett remains an antagonistic hothead, and the one with a family, he’s slower and pacified.
The suave indestructible Lowery-who’s always been the closest thing to a Black James Bond-is still up to his cocky womanizing ways. Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) return in Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah’s Bad Boys For Life, replete with more explosions and more women, but with greater introspection. The one-off soon begat a sequel Bad Boys II (2003), and now have evoked a trilogy.
In 1995, Michael Bay debuted with the first Bad Boys-a buddy cop action flick with eye-candy women, large explosions, and orange tinted skies.
