Bad Boys/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Fouchet, who spends most of his screentime shooting or threatening somebody.
  • Ending Fatigue: The second film clocks in at nearly three hours, and doesn't exactly have a big enough plot to justify it.
  • Even Better Sequel: Bad Boys II is much better known than Bad Boys, having more of, well, everything. Take your pick.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • Shit just got REAL.
      • Edgar Wright says in the Hot Fuzz commentary that he's determined to find out which of the film's writers is actually responsible for that line.
    • For a few months after the sequel, "Woo-sah", combined with the ear massage, became a popular saying when someone became angry or agitated.
  • MST3K Mantra/Rule of Cool: This is a Michael Bay movie, so it's pretty much required.
  • Narm Charm: The sequel has much more of this than the first film. For instance:

Mook: Who that? Who in my house?!
Mike: I'm the Devil! Who's asking?!
Mook: The Devil is not welcome HEAAHHHHH!

  • Older Than They Think: This is the origin of the phrase "Shit just got real", but that quip is occasionally better known for its use in Problem Sleuth nowadays.
  • The Problem with Licensed Games: Miami Takedown is absolutely horrible. Cheap mechanics, lazy design, clunky and stupid AI. They couldn't even be bothered to get Will and Martin to reprise their characters.

    For some people it falls under the category of So Bad It's Good as the dialogue and voice acting are so hilariously awful that mere words don't do them justice.
