Bad Boys II

Plot synopsis:
Eight years after the events of the first film, Miami Police Department (MPD) narcotics division detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey are investigating the flow of highly-potent ecstasy into the city. Their surveillance of boats coming in from Cuba leads them to a Ku Klux Klan meeting and drug drop in a swamp docks outside Miami. The subsequent raid on the Klan members proves to be a disaster; malfunctioning radios delay back-up, causing a firefight wherein a number of the Klan are killed or injured and Mike accidentally shoots Marcus in the buttocks. Police arrest the surviving Klan members, who are revealed to be mere small-time buyers and not distributors. The incident leaves Marcus to further question if he still wants to partner with Mike, while Mike fears that Marcus may discover his new relationship with Marcus' sister, Syd. Unbeknownst to Mike and Marcus, Syd is an undercover operative with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), as a money laundering agent for Russian gangsters; the Russian gangsters are in fact the distributors of the ecstasy on behalf of neurotic Cuban drug lord Johnny Tapia. During her first assignment in Miami, a violent Haitian gang attempts to hijack the money transport between the Russians and Tapia, putting Syd in danger. Mike and Marcus inadvertently stumble into the action, and an intense firefight and car chase ensues between the gang members and the MPD/DEA, devastating the local area and enraging Police Captain Conrad Howard. Marcus and Mike learn of Syd's actual work, which makes Marcus unhappy, while Capt. Howard demands they find the supplier of ecstasy.
Marcus and Mike go to confront the Haitian gang leader, which results in a firefight and the leader revealing that his information about the transport came from his friend's camcorder. After viewing the footage, Marcus and Mike find out that a local business, the Spanish Palms Mortuary, is possibly being used as a front for money laundery by Tapia. Disguised as pest terminators since Tapia has a major rodent problem, the detectives penetrate Tapia's mansion and discover that Tapia has eliminated some of his Russian distributors and has begun to woo their former associate Syd, who is still undercover with the DEA and has refocused the investigation towards Tapia. The detectives also recover evidence linking Tapia to one of the boats involved in the Klan raid in the swamps. After pressuring one of the arrested Klansman into making Tapia's boat, the detectives find themselves involved in another firefight, this time while pursuing a morgue van from the docks carrying emptied cadavers. Mike and Marcus decide to infiltrate Tapia's mortuary (disguised as ambulance workers) where they learn that the drug lord is using dead bodies to smuggle his drugs and money. The mission is nearly sabotaged when the pair are almost discovered, resulting in Marcus accidentally ingesting some of the ecstasy and Mike ordering the disguised officers outside the building to crash an ambulance into it, creating a diversion.
After Mike and an intoxicated Marcus obtain a search warrant from Capt. Howard, the mortuary and Tapia's mansion are raided, with the drugs and money being intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard. However, the mansion raid is botched when a vengeful Russian gangster, Alexei, violently storms the mansion on his own, intending to have revenge against Tapia for murdering his friends. Alexei is however unable to get to Tapia as he is shot by the police, while Syd is discovered by Tapia and is kidnapped by him and taken to Cuba. With Syd held prisoner in Tapia's compound and guarded by the Cuban military, the drug lord demands the return of his money in two days in exchange for Syd's life. Mike and Marcus, along with their voluntary S.W.A.T. team and Syd's DEA co-workers, prepare a military assault to rescue Syd from Tapia's home. During the battle, Mike and Marcus extract Syd and escape Tapia's home, which is blown up. After a lengthy pursuit by an infuriated Tapia, they end up in a minefield just outside U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, where Tapia holds Mike at gunpoint ignoring the US Navy aiming their rifles at Tapia. Syd distracts Tapia by killing one of his men while Marcus rescues Mike with a skillful headshot to Tapia's skull in the middle of the minefield with his last bullet, resulting in Tapia's body being blown up after falling onto a mine.
Later, at the Burnett house, Mike has bought Marcus a new pool (replacing a previous pool that had been destroyed in a prior gag), and Marcus finally makes peace with Mike dating Syd and no longer doubts their partnership. Despite the sentiment, Mike's new pool breaks, washing the two into a river, as they sing the "Bad Boys" theme song.

Review:
This movie delivers your monies worth too, in my opinion Will Smith and Martin Larwence make such a great team that part of the fun is just watching these two get into it from time to time.
And with Michael Bay directing, you know you're going to get some good action scenes.
Let's face it, Bad Boys II has one of the best car chase scenes ion recent history, it dominates the dismal over played chase in Matrix Reloaded which was the other big summer sequel of that year.
:)If you are looking for a solid type performance from Will Smith to be a good actor don't bother, this movie was all about pure action, and mindless fun, if that's what you want then go see it, if not don't waste your 2 hours and 40 minutes seeing it.
I still prefer the original Bad Boys, but this is still a great time at the movies.
Ahh, just like the good old days, when men were men, and action movies were all rated R.Look, if you're all about hating Bay, and blaming him for all of scociety's ills, as well as acusing him of being the antichrist - then what in god's name are you doing watching this movie?
There were many times that I thought there were scenes that could have been cut and still made this movie funny and with great action.
well, put it this way, it's much much better than the first and has one of the best car chases in history.Will Smith and martin Lawrence are two cops have a lot in common, especially their attitude, are sent to investigate the a Cuban drug smuggler who smuggles drugs in America.
A huge budget sequel to the dumb "Bad Boys." I guess it was inevitable.I saw the HBO special on this movie and watch how Will Smith, Michael Bay, and Jerry Bruckheimer went on and on about how great this movie is.
"Bad Boys II" is quite likely the worst movie I have seen this year, and in a summer that gave us both "LXG" and "From Justin to Kelly", that's saying a lot.
The fun interaction between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence that made the first "Bad Boys" enjoyable is pretty much entirely absent.
Every actor in this disaster was reduced to a pathetic caricature: the brassy femme who wants to prove she is as good as the boys, while doing it in a bikini;  the hard-boiled chief who has seen enough of the crime that is tearing his city (and consequentially his mental state of being) apart; JOE PANTOLIANO - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!The movie itself is just so cold-hearted.
Mike Lowry (Smith) and Marcus Bennett (Lawrence) attempt to stop a drug baron exporting ecstasy across America.1995 and Michael Bay shoots a successful Bad Boys, a gun ho thriller that exploded The Fresh Prince onto the film stage and started a trend of Michael Bay action.Bay has had criticism over the years for his over the top immature approach to story telling and action and based on this film, those echoes are fully justified.There was a reason Bad Boys did well and it really had little to do with the director.
These included presumably getting some laughs but I struggle to see the humorous factor of Martin Lawrence on x, rat sex and a swimming pool breaking.Perhaps the fact Smith and Lawrence are comic geniuses makes this disappointing as they are not funny exempt for brief one-liners.Bay, the destroyer, has overblown the proportion of action with so many inclusions of bullets it is unforgivable not to mention numerous car chases that never result in a realistic crash.
I know, how about next time Will Smith and Martin Lawrence do a movie -- how about having a PLOT !!
Whenever producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay team up to make a movie, you can count on a few things-it's going to be big, loud, explosive and annoying as all hell.
Okay, all jokes aside, Bay has now brought us the unwanted and completely unnecessary sequel to the 1995 film, `Bad Boys II.' So where can this sequel go that no other action flick has done before-absolutely nowhere.
Blah blah blah, roll the clichés and super "cool" dialog, insert a chase scene that sees about a million cars get destroyed while Will Smith drives his Ferarri through the carnage at 200 mph unscathed, slap on some random catch phrases and a cheesy ending and BANG, you have Bad Boys II.
Michael Bay does know better, but that doesn't stop Bad Boys II from being cruel and down right offensive to mindless movies everywhere.
The movie thinks that it's being funny when it's just being cruel, and one scene in particular made me cringe and made me want to run out and burn posters of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
So far, so very similar to any cop orientated buddy movie you've ever seen, but Bad Boys 2 overcomes the total lack of originality thanks to the natural charisma of the stars and the sheer spectacle of its action sequences.The plot of course is throw away guff designed to hurtle Smith and Lawrence into the thick of as many explosions as possible, but when they bounce off each other this well it's difficult to care.
Maybe they were worried he'd pack the movie into his bags and run off with them like he did the first time around...Those grumbles aside, there's little complaint to be made about Bad Boys 2.
Sure, it's so shallow that I could just as easily have written "Will Smith and Martin Lawrence destroy stuff" and summed up the entire enterprise, but it makes for an exhilarating action movie and the natural successor to all those ones produced in the eighties when brain cells were exchanged for body counts and biceps.
I don't find it offensive, because the scene with the bodies is an important slice to the narrative, and hey, it is FUNNY.As an action picture, no other film this summer comes close to Bad Boys 2.
The film's supposed `gags' consist of nothing but homophobia, necrophilia, corpse mutilation and seriously offensive ethnic slurs, the punch lines usually resulting in more impersonal unnecessary killing, filmed in that pornographically violent style we've come to expect from Bay. This is violence without consequence - most of the time the movie doesn't even address it (such as the scene where a Hummer crushes dozens of shanties and their inhabitants).
Overall, this is pretty much the best movie i've ever seen, bare in mind that i'm a 19 year old who just likes to watch stuff blow up, and have a good laugh..
Popcorn Fun. Like it's prequel, 'Bad Boys II' is not the sort of film you should watch if you like deep-thinking, philosophical dramas.
But if you're just wanting to be entertained by plenty of action, sarcastic jokes and wisecracks then this is a perfect blockbuster for you.It doesn't pretend to have some deep plot-- the storyline is the very simple premise of catching the drug dealers and getting the girl-- but it is pure popcorn entertainment complete with car chases and gun fights.
The interplay between Will Smith and Matthew Lawrence is hilarious (the 'Bad Boy' films are the only time I can tolerate Lawrence); a more up-to-date version of Riggs and Murtaugh in the Eighties classic buddy flick 'Lethal Weapon'.Very enjoyable action comedy that should please most fans of Hollywood blockbusters and cop flicks..
Bad Boys II is one of those films you can watch with a bunch of friends and be thoroughly entertained, because you really don't have to pay much attention to the story because there really is none.
Michael Bay can blow almost anything up and still make it look good on camera, and this he insists for almost 3 hours in BAD BOYS II.
I don't hate Michael Bay nor his approach of mindless and over-amped blockbusters, but I wouldn't want to waste my time on the 2 and a half hours of empty-headed drivel that BAD BOYS II had to offer.
Worse, Bay can't help thinking of himself as an auteur by shooting the action sequences in either slow-mo (a trick he over uses here) or with fast cuts that make it almost impossible to know what's happening.BAD BOYS II is so loud and obnoxious that Bay couldn't even keep it down a notch during the "talking" scenes (in Bay's world, everyone talks trash).
This was bad.I actually quite like Will Smith, and I think he has good comic timing and delivery.
The dreadful patter interrupts the action scenes and sucks any life out of them (although they're shockingly overblown and bad anyway), and because this is a tough guy movie the lines are awful.
The biggest problem with Bad Boys 2 is not that the humor has been systematized, that there's no originality or intelligence in the storyline, or that the film is poorly paced and way too Kevin Costner-like long...The biggest problem of this film is Jerry Bruckheimer.
Give a five year old a movie camera and tell him to film playing cowboys and Indians with Tonka trucks and you have Bad Boys II, a disgrace that somehow took 8 years to reach fruition.
The movie spews hate in the faces of every audience member who has been misled into believing they are watching an action-comedy.Miami is a place with a very diverse ethnic population and I think it is completely irresponsible for the filmmakers to have behaved in this way.
Otherwise, steer clear of this worthless and tediously overblown car crash of a sequel.Someone gave Michael Bay - who tragically suffers from some kind of movie-making ADD - enough money to destroy most of Miami, but didn't pay him enough to come up with any original ways to do it.
Despite having a thin plot and lots of over the top action, Bad Boys 1 was still passable as at least a good rental.
There truly isn't a film quite like Bad Boys II.
I can't even imagine who would think it was good, but apparently other people with no taste enjoy it.There's a horrific scene where Will Smith and Martin Lawrence practically mind rape a 15 year old boy who has the audacity to take Lawrence's daughter out on a date.
I found this film to be as fast paced and action packed as the first one but with one difference- more action.This has all of Bay's trademarks- colourful cinematography, spectacular car chases, orange filters, epic soundtrack and what I loved most about this film was the chemistry between Smith and Lawrence again.Why critics seemed to dislike I don't know but if there's one fault I could find with it is that it does go on for a long time (but not in the bad way in which Pearl Harbour lasted for nearly 4 dull hours).
I've never liked the original "Bad Boys" from 1995 despite its reputation as one of the "better" cop-buddy movies out there.
This time the guy hides his drugs in dead bodies and their mission is to take him down and provide enough evidence to incriminate him - so they use a romantic interest to be a mole in the drug lord's operation.Bay's direction is just as bad as before - but now thanks to a much bigger budget, a larger cast and crew and the advent of advanced digital technology, the explosions are bigger, the car chases are longer and more boring, the camera moves even more and never stops zooming and cutting away to other scenes, and so on and so forth.The movie isn't really that funny either.
Bad Boys is truly one of my favorite action films.
Bad Boys is one of the Best Cop Buddy movies I've seen.
He is ever so funny in this sequel to Hit movie Bad Boys.
It was a big, dumb action movie, but it was funny, exciting, and had fun characters played by Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, and Tea Leoni (who is wisely MIA from this turd of a sequel).
Now, 8 years later, for no other reason than to make a lot of money, the stars and director Michael Bay (who hasn't directed a single good movie since the original "Bad Boys") have conspired to unleash this atrocity on the public.
The p0rn video of action movies - no actual plot, JUST violence.This is as close as it's gotten so far.Bad Boys I was good!
PERFECT --- this film is funny from start to finish,mint car chases, and the women - brilliant action, the lot it is awesome just like the first one-- (the second is better though) there is just no room for improvements...
Oh, and if there's some schmaltz, like say Will Smith's cop looking at a goofy yearbook picture of himself when he was a NERD (and yes, it's shameful to be such a nerd in Bay's house of movie), or when the big twist occurs with Lawrence's cop's sister taken hostage, it can only last said two seconds before going on to the next idiotic joke, or the next retarded shot or cut-away, or, of course, such an action scene that will bleed your senses dry.
For all that Smith might try, he and Lawrence don't click in a way that is funny - unless if the kind of humor you enjoy is the rude and (ugly) sarcastic tone that Bay often carries being a 40-something frat boy - and many, many scenes meant to bring out guffaws left me dead cold.
I really don't understand how garbage like this gets past the Hollywood think tank, oops my bad I forgot there isn't one, not when movies like this are being churned out, I thought "ZAPPED" with Scott Baio was the worst film ever made but boy I wasn't counting on this.
Ok where do I begin, what was MICHAEL BAY thinking this movie was way overhyped, the plot was horrible and WILL SMITH and MARTIN LAWRENCE are overrated.
I Think the problem was that thers was more action than a plot, all I have to say is that this was a waste of time and money,i mean come on who is going to pull a gun on a 15 yr old kid .
Sure there was some slow-motion and a few explosions, but the movie really worked because Lawrence and Smith had great on-screen chemistry.
However bad the movie was, Bay certainly knows how to make an action sequence.The movie is about a drug lord smuggling lethal Ecstasy into the country and two renegade cops trying to stop him.
A lot of conventional scenes changed slightly to add the illusion of originality to a script that is a tired rehash of every action film to come out in the last 15 years, and unfortunately the only thing that's added is bad taste.
However, in this case, perhaps the II really stands for "twice as bad." This new film, which is indeed even longer, dopier and duller than the original, once again stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as two Miami P.D. undercover cops who spend most of their time kvetching at one another in between car chases and shootouts (and often during as well).
It's good that Smith and Lawrence really enjoyed themselves; somebody had to have something like a good time out of this waste of film and talent..
Trust me  if you are enjoying the film, leave when it has it's first low key conclusion and don't let it get spoilt by this silly action man stuff.At over 2 hours the film is too generous and really could have done with a more vicious edit (some of the banter could have gone, along with that ending), and it does try to do too much at times, wandering away from the plot for some (albeit funny) side comedy scenes (the funniest being the duo confronting a boy who has come to take Marcus' daughter out on a date).
The long running time, disjointed plot and overblown nature all work against it but the cast, good action and some funny scenes all help make it worth seeing if not an altogether enriching experience..
hell yeah...bad boys II is a funny-ass movie w/ top-notch action sequences & comedic moments...
this movie is all about a good time, all-out action, and irreverent humour...Bad Boys II is tha s**t...
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as well as being brilliant action heroes, are also a brilliant comedy duo in the Bad Boys movies.
Michael Bay knows how to give his films visual punch, and has some cool ideas (like the endlessly circling camera in the shootout with the Haitians); on the other hand, the inside view of a corpse's brain is an image that does not belong in an action movie, even an R-rated one.
Lawrence and Smith still have chemistry, but on the whole "Bad Boys II" lacks the freshness of the first film.
With never ending cars chase, and fighting, and when you thought it is finish it goes on and on and on differences places just like Speed 1 and 2.Don't get me wrong, Bad Boys II is an action pack film and I do enjoy watching it.
This film could have been a lot better if it was an hour shorter.This movie was a total disaster, and I don´t mean the disaster Smith & Lawrence cause on screen.I will not even rate this one, it´s below rating..
After enjoying the first Bad Boys movie, I had pretty high hopes for this, but yet again another decent film is let down by a crappy sequel!...
What i liked about the original Bad Boys movie was the good action scenes, and the funny dialogue between Will Smith & Martin Lawrence.
