Bad Boys and Bad Boys II director Michael Bay says the film’s threequel Bad Boys for Life needs to “get it going soon” or there will be no point in making the film.
The success of the film was the beginning of a massive winning streak for Smith (who followed up Bad Boys with such blockbusters as Independence Day and Men in Black), and the demand for his services no doubt was in part to blame for why it took eight years before Bay was able to reunite with him and Lawrence to make Bad Boys II in 2003.
While the Bad Boys II earned more than $273 million globally and the inability to keep a director.
Bad Boys for Life might not be a guaranteed success, but there’s no doubt that with Bay’s involvement, it would certainly grab a fair amount of attention.
