Visual Thrill Ride

Despite what the eunuch-in-a-harem critics would have you beleive, this movie is quite the audiovisial thrill ride. The Freeway Ferrari vs the Car Carrier scene is particarly orgasmic.

to wit: They Throwin' cars!!!!

"I Smell Dead People"

In the mortuary scene, Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) says that phrase, which seems to be a parody of "The Sixth Sense", when Cole Sear (Osment) says "I see dead people". Does anyone know (or have) more info about it?

Cheap article

This article is pretty weak!
The game "Bad Boys 2" should be separte, there isn't any info about it, just giving out bad reviewing of the game:/

Trivia.

We should disscuss what trivias we need and don't need. Since we have too many trivias. TheBlazikenMaster 14:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Bad Boys II.jpg

Image:Bad Boys II.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New image

Since this bot warned us and none of use did something about it, of course we wouldn't, because it got removed so quickly. But there is always a hope. So we need to discuss about what picture would be ok. We can't use DVD covers, can we? TheBlazikenMaster 12:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll re-upload the image with a fair use clause, one second. Andrzejbanas 13:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There! Done, this should suit the job. Andrzejbanas 13:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good thing you uploaded two versions, because the first one didn't work. TheBlazikenMaster 13:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Buttocks" vs. "Ass"

I believe the word "buttocks" should be used. TBM is correct that Wikipedia is not censored, but that is hardly an invitation to use potentially offensive language gratuitously. Certainly, when giving a direct quote, there's no need to bowdlerize anything--if the quote includes the word "Fuck all that, we've gotta get on with these", then it would certainly be acceptable and appropriate to quote it verbatim. However, in the interests of style, original prose should use more polite words. It's just more professional that way. Kurt Weber 15:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I might wanna point out that fuck is considered rude AWAY more often than ass. But you're right, it wasn't very famous scene, the scene where he shot him in the ass is just small, it was just few minutes in the beginning of the movie. TheBlazikenMaster 16:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you miss my point. Direct quotes should be kept intact, regardless of content, because as you pointed out, Wikipedia is not censored. But when creating original prose (as opposed to directly quoting someone else), it is more professional to use more polite language. Kurt Weber 16:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is also another reason. Buttocks is more specific word than ass right? So that could be another reason, Wikipedia is supposed to be using specific words, not commonly used ones. TheBlazikenMaster 16:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History.

I think this article needs history about the making of the movie. I find that pretty encyclopedic. Should we make a section about how the movie was made? We already have history on that on some other movies, so why not this one? TheBlazikenMaster 19:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many months without any reply, ok, I'm bringing this up to WT:MOVIES. TheBlazikenMaster 23:53, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and on other note, I could spend my time listening to the commentary or use the DVD special features of the movie. TheBlazikenMaster 23:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Having a section on the production is a good idea (see film style guidelines); go for it! --Beloved Freak 10:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Al righty then. But I know it isn't gonna be easy. But when after I get started, maybe, just maybe, someone would give me a hand. TheBlazikenMaster 12:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, look, I was busy last weekend, so I couldn't make the article. Hey, I made a video on YouTube explaining, please click here to access the video. I'll explain in that video why I didn't do it last weekend, and if I'm doing it this weekend. TheBlazikenMaster 14:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Headlines

Headlines to use. Cheers! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I will try to use those articles, I'll be planning to get to work next weekend. TheBlazikenMaster 21:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC) (I will also use my DVD)[reply]

No, better yet, I will start doing it on Tuesday. TheBlazikenMaster 21:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DVD's a good idea, too! Let me know if you need help setting up how the ref should look when you cite it. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if I have any problems, I will ask you. TheBlazikenMaster 21:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Boys III

I just don't get it, what happened to the sources? It did have reliable source (one at least) before, what happened? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 19:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Red minibus

Does anyone know what brand/model the red minibus appearing in the movie (near the end, when the rc car is driving into Tapia's mansion in Cuba) is ? I think the design is very efficient and would like to know the brand in the intrest of my compressed air kit car proposal. perhaps someone can post the question at this site. Please add model/brand info to my wikiversity article if you know it. Thanks 81.244.205.49 (talk) 11:17, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The 4 new sections

Anyone know why section:

2019 Remake Main Cast Supporting Cast Guest Cast

Are added to this article? B.Valley (talk) 12:03, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know, right? I try to revert the edits, but they get reverted back. 24.184.26.204 (talk) 22:02, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ending

I just rewatched it. The version I saw finished at the Bay, no barbecue scene. Should there be an “alternative versions” section? 31.124.106.23 (talk) 07:27, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
