Bad Boys For Life | Moustache Trailer Reaction


The first trailer for Bad Boys For Life is here, and it's filled with the type of carnage only Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) can create. Taking over directing duties from Michael Bay are Belgian directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. Will they be able to bring the "Bayhem"? Judging by the trailer, it would appear so. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, check it out below.


It seems that the boys are starting to show their years as they get ready to take on another major player in Miami's seedy underworld - said to be a drug cartel leader named Armando Armas and played by Jacob Scipio. The phrase "one last time" comes up a lot, and Burnett needs glasses. There's even talk of retirement, but will they actually hand in their badges? Who knows, but we have seen this type of talk before; Burnett was going to break up the partnership in Bad Boys 2, but he didn't. Apart from that, Burnett and Lowrey are fighting crime the only way they know how, by causing lots of destruction and arguing about it. The real selling point being the chemistry between Smith and Lawrence, which is still perfect after an almost 20 year hiatus.


But while Burnett is still looking to avoid the action and violence (not that that ever goes his way, and it's still not), it's Lowrey who appears to be looking to change things up. It seems he's starting to regret his bachelor lifestyle, judging by the look on his face at what appears to be the wedding (possibly for Burnett's daughter), anyway. Gabrielle Union - who reprised her role from Bad Boys 2 in the TV show "L.A.'s Finest" - doesn't appear to be returning, so could this be the source of his regret? Or at least one of them?


Joe Pantoliano and Theresa Randle are returning to their roles as Captain Howard and Theresa Burnett, although Randle doesn't appear in the trailer. Pantoliano's Captain Howard on the other hand does appear, and as expected he's not happy - no surprise really given his terrible moustache! As usual he's screaming and swearing over all the dead bodies and chaos created by two of his most troublesome detectives. Can some of the chaos be attributed to the new generation of young cops that the boys have to work with? Maybe, but there's only two cops who can sing the "Bad Boys" song, and that's Burnett and Lowrey! Apparently the lyrics "take a long time to learn", according to Burnett.


What else is there to say apart from that? It's the trailer to a Bad Boys movie, there's lots of gun fights, explosions, car chases and an interesting leap on to a ladder dangling from a helicopter. Lowrey is still driving flash cars, this time round he's back driving a Porsche, although they don't look as cool getting out of it anymore. Bad Boys For Life looks to be action-packed, over the top and funny as hell. What more can we ask for?

The Suicide Squad | Average Guy Movie Review

A new batch of convicts - as well as a few originals - are under the thumb of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), who's once again offering years off their prison sentences in return for completing a few jobs for Uncle Sam. This time she's sending them to the island nation of Corto Maltese. There they must infiltrate the capital and destroy a top secret research facility. Sounds easy enough. Task Force X is back, and with James Gunn at the helm things are madder than ever! The Guardians of the Galaxy  director has taken what David Ayer started and blown the roof off of it. But he has done so in a way that is respectful of what has gone before. Fans of the original (of which there are apparently few) will have no trouble going from  Suicide Squad  to The Suicide Squad . And yet, the new movie stands quite happily on it's own two feet. Rather than making them drastically different, the returning characters simply feel like they have grown a bit. Well, maybe not grown, but adapted, t

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings | Average Guy Movie Review

For ten years Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) - the son of The Mandarin (Tony Leung), keeper of the Ten Rings - has been running from his past, trying to escape the life his father intended for him. Unfortunately that past has now caught up with him, endangering the lives of those he cares about. Now he must return home, face his father and learn the secrets of his family. If there's one thing that Marvel is good at, it's taking lesser known comic book characters and turning them into major players. Clearly they haven't lost their touch because Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings  is everything fans love about the MCU and so much more. Whilst keeping things very much rooted in this world, Destin Daniel Cretton has carved out a new piece of the epic film franchise - one steeped in asian culture and mythology - to bring us Marvel's first Asian superhero.  It seems insane to think that just a few years ago Simu Liu tweeted Marvel about Shang-Chi, and now he's playing the ne

Operation Market Garden Anniversary 2016

The John Frost Bridge at Arnhem (from my visit in 2013) 72 years ago today, Allied troops set off on what could be one of the boldest missions of World War 2, Operation Market Garden. Developed by Field Marshall Montgomery, the plan was to advance into Nazi occupied Holland and develop a bridgehead over the River Rhine into Germany. There were two parts to the operation: Market (Airborne) Garden (Ground Forces) In what was the largest airborne operation of the war, paratroopers and glider troops had the job of securing bridges at Eindhoven (US 101st Airborne), Nijmegen (US 82nd Airborne) and Arnhem (British 1st Airborne). The ground forces, made up of the British XXX Corp had to advance up a single highway through Holland, linking up with the airborne forces as they went. In honour of the anniversary of Operation Market Garden we look back at some of the movies and TV Shows that tell the story of the Allies ill-fated attempt to end the war by Christmas 1944.
