The birth of a masterpiece often faces the test of shooting a sequel. I have to say that this exam question is a bit difficult. There are too many sequels that fall on the road beyond the previous one, and I can only helplessly sigh. But there are a few works that can break away from the curse, one is stronger than the other, and it has solidly created a super series. The "Bad Boys" series is one of the best.

In 1995, Michael Bay officially launched the "Bad Boys" series, and when he was young, he became famous, creating a box office myth of $ 140 million.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's super high-performance comedy talent was fully displayed in this film, and the young Emperor also realized the thrill of harvesting at the box office, becoming a hot Hollywood star. Since then, "Bad Boys" has successfully entered the ranks of Hollywood's popular comedy action IP.

Bad Boys' first battle was successful, and the sequel should be quicker, but they did not rush to achieve success, but chose to be prepared, and did not meet the audience until 2003, "Bad Boys 2". Good meals are not afraid of being late. Although the time has passed for 8 years, the enthusiasm of the audience has not faded. The first week of the film's release achieved a score of 15.5 million U.S. dollars, and eventually won 270 million U.S. dollars globally. The duo of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence gradually began to be regarded by many viewers as the best comedy combination on screen. Many of the funny plots in the film are still being talked about by fans.

It has to be said that "Bad Boys 2" adds a key weight to the value of this IP, making people have unlimited expectations for the third part. But this waited for 17 years. On January 17, this year, the third part of the series "Jedimen: Fast Track" came to the North American theater. Facing the ever-changing film market, can the glory continue? It is really a big question mark.

In the face of doubt, the film directly talked with results. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence returned with a familiar comedy formula. The self-contained humorous style made laughter spread all over the world again, sweeping nearly 420 million US dollars. The box office of Bad Boys has won the North American weekly box office crown for 5 consecutive weeks, and currently still occupies the top position in the 2020 global box office.
