When the past comes knocking at their door in the form of a personal vendetta from someone Mike put behind bars, Mike must change in order to protect those he loves. Mike's more reasonable counterpart, and often time voice of reason, Marcus Burnett, has acknowledged that after 25 years of service, it's time for him to put the badge down and spend the rest of his life with his loving family. His aging vanity is meticulously up kept even to the point of dyeing his goatee with Midnight Cocoa Bean hair coloring. He's pushing over 50 years of age, still dressing like the sharpest drug lord, and up to date on things from cool kid's slang to the latest dance moves like "The Shoot". Mike genuinely believes that he's still at the top of his game, an apex model of law enforcement with no plans of ever stopping, taking down criminals one body bag at a time, and filling out paperwork never. Things need to change." But naturally, things are never that easy, and least of all to thee Mike Lowrey: so buckle up and don't you dare spill that drink in his Ferrari!

And I must say, even placing my bias aside, even without the classic Bayhem, I found this closing chapter to be exceptionally well handled and surprisingly resonant. Newcomer Belgian duo, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah took over the reign for this third and final entry into the notorious 90s buddy cop legends, Bad Boys. The pair are later married, with Mike detailing his and Marcus' attempts to frighten him away in Bad Boys II to the other guests."We've been bad boys our whole lives, now it's time to be good men."
