Bad Boys II: Can anyone explain this plot?

Okay, here's what I gather:

Movie starts
Movie comes to conclusion with big bust
Movie fails to tie any ends, then tacks on half an hour stolen from a NAVY SEALS film from the 80's

Is there anything I'm missing, because I don't fucking get it at all.

As an aside, I think I'm going to fuck with Cuba just to get some ex-delta's on my side.

It's two funny black guys exploding shit up while making 'wooshaaa' sounds, and the bad guys get killed in a variety of different ways and there is a CGI boat that chases Will and Martin down a highway and corpses fly out at them and it all ends as a stand off on the shores of landmined Cuba.

You think ANYONE can explain all that? Even the inflatable pool next to the ocean? THAT?

If they can, I'll give them a virtual cookie.

Words cannot describe how much I hate this movie. It embodies everything that's wrong with commercial Hollywood filmmaking.

i think the plot of bad boyzzz ii was that michael bay and jerry bruckheimer needed to make some money to pay for their new modenas and so they had a stupid script written and hired w.smith because he brings in the suckers.

i guess it made a ton of money, so there was a happy ending, too.

The story was almost completely incomprehensible, but what really amazed me was how evil and mean the "good guys" seemed to be. Maybe I'm getting old or something, but between terrorizing that poor teenager for the crime of dating Lawrence's daughter, being generally loathsome assholes and risking the lives of untold civilians for no real reason by the end of the movie I hated the main characters and hoped they'd die.

Wait, I thought they were fighting the Ku Klux Klan in this movie. That's what the commercials lead me to believe.

Wasn't that the beginning ? There were some Ku-Klux-clan-people dealing drugs...there was a Spanish guy and...damn can't remember anything of the story (not that I once thought about the story or the movie after seeing it)

The black man everyone at Activision can agree on
Stuff blows up.
Stuff gets driven fast.
People make jokes.
More stuff gets blown up.
More stuff gets driven fast.
People make more jokes.

The end.


The plot sucks, but I enjoyed it just for it's turn off you brain and enjoy the rideness... which is really all it was about in the end.

To paraphrase Ebert, you're putting more thought in the discussion of the plot than the filmmakers put into the plot to begin with.

Best. movie. ever.

Bad Boys 2 rocks. How many other movies have 3 major car chase scenes, a jillion gunfight scenarios, a russian mob boss, the KKK, a cuban drug lord, and Dan Marino? Okay, so Michael Bay went way over-the-top in this movie, yet I somehow still manage to enjoy the movie whenever its on TV. :lol

I can't believe no one has mentioned Gabrielle Union. Shame on all of you. That was one good thing about the movie.

keep your strippers out of my American football
all the complaints are valid, but I didn't mind any of those crimes. The biggest crime was the length of the movie. OMG it went on FOREVER!!!!

Yep, and I actually found most of it funny. The action is done very well with great directing, the music is done real well (Dr. Dre produced tracks?). So the plot is thin, it doesn't matter for this movie. It's so much better than other movies of it's type because I found it funny, and I found the action to be done right, unlike other movies. The car chases holds up better than T3 and Matrix 2. I'm usually one to disregard most of these turn off your brain action movies but this one was made for me.

Hell, I even agree with the torturing of that young boy taking out the daughter on the date, ain't NO fucking tonite. That and Will Smith in the movie acts just like my cousin, it adds more to the comedy for me.

BTW, there's a difference between copying, and a homage. I'm sure Micheal Bay is just giving up respect to one of the best action movies of all time.

WHO DEY!?
One of my friends likes to act high brow about his choices in popular forms of entertainment, yet he likes shit like this.

This is a movie that despite my not having seen it I can confidently say it sucks.

I agree with most of the complaints, and I fucking hate Will Smith, but the movie did have some great scenes. The highway car chase, and the scene with the 15 year old kid were great IMO. I also thought the captain (Joe Pantoliano) was fucking hilarious.

that said, your brain must be checked at the door.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I love this money. It's not meant to be criticized as if it's some high-profile sci-fi flick. It's the epitomy of popcorn flick; open your minds, people.

I love this movie and I'm not ashamed at all. It's awesome mindless entertainment. In fact it's pretty much the movie equavilent of a GTA game in which most of the fun comes from exaggerated shit that's meant to be plain offensive/illegal in general but done in an over-stylized way so it just seems cool. I can see why some people won't dig it, but what I can't seem to understand is how some people don't understand the plot. It's fucking simple: TWO BLACK COPS BEING BADASS, RUDE AND RACIST TAKE ON A CUBAN DRUG KINGPIN WHO THINKS HE'S JESUS AND HIS DAUGHTER IS AN UGLY FAT FUCK. :lol

I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbor
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
And that’s an awful lot girl
And now, now you’ve gone away
And all I’m trying to say is
Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you

I need u like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film
I need u like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He’s way better than Ben Affleck
And now all I can think about is your smile
and that shitty movie too
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you

Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
Just a little bit more than I miss you



It had to be said ;)

Did anyone else feel ripped off during the scene where they drive down the hill through all the shanty houses?

Seriously, it's been done before in the greatest action movie ever made:
