It's been 25 years since the first Bad Boys - the film that put Will Smith on the movie star map. And now the franchise is back for a third instalment that sees the boys back, bickering, bantering and blasting their way through life.
The plot is pretty predictable: Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) are back "one last time" when someone comes after them for revenge. Shit got real, etc etc.
Given the amount of changes behind the scenes for this film, we never actually thought it would make it to the big screen - and there's something quite warming to see Smith and Lawrence back bitching at each other.
As for the rest of the cast. the movie introduces some newbies to the Bad Boys world. There's Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig and Charles Melton as well - and we get a nice look at them at the end of the trailer when they ruin the Bad Boys theme tune.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
