Last night I went to see Bad Boys: Ride or Die. You wanna know what it was like? Well… it was exactly what you’d expect it to be. It was a Bad Boys movie. It was a buddy cop action/comedy filled with lots of car chases, gunfights, explosions, and one-liners. If you liked the other movies in the series, you should like this one too. And while I won’t spoil anything plot-related, I would like to point out a couple of humorous cameos:
- Michael Bay, who directed the first two installments, shows up briefly as an angry Porsche driver yelling at Will Smith.
- There’s a random cameo from Khaby Lame, that guy who makes the deadpan face in all those TikTok videos.
- My favorite bit is so subtle you might miss it. In one scene, the cops have to steal some clothes from a camp of redneck “sovereign citizen” types, and Will Smith ends up wearing a Reba McEntire t-shirt. In an attempt to falsely claim the clothes belong to them, he and Martin Lawrence try to come up with a single Reba song (and fail miserably, of course). But as they’re getting away, you can hear a country version of the “Bad Boys” song playing in the background, sung by Reba herself.
