But now, Smith has a potential franchise to keep returning to, and writer Chris Bremner now has a lot of work on his hands with Bad Boys 4 and the recently revived National Treasure 3 being assigned to his workload after this early, but nonetheless huge success.
If it wasn’t for the modern sensibilities of Bad Boys For Life’s story, there’s a chance that Will Smith may not have made the film in the first place.
Which, in turn, may have killed the series where it stood, after a good long period of delays and setbacks.
