Bad Boys & Bad Boys 2
Before 1995 Will Smith’s success came from the smash-hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and his music. All that changed from 1995 onwards when the young actor began making a name for himself in big blockbuster movies. Martin Lawrence, outside of the Big Momma’s House Movies and his own sitcom, is most well known for his role as Detective Marcus Burnett. Bad Boys was also the directorial debut of Michael Bay, who has since gone on to make billions as one of the most commercially successful directors of the past 30 years.
