There are currently three Bad Boys movies, with a total runtime of approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. The trilogy follows Detectives Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) as they navigate various high-stakes cases in Miami. Throughout the series, these characters face intense threats from villains like Arsonist (Ving Rhames) and Victor (Alexandra Maria Lara). While there isn't a single theme that ties all three movies together, common motifs include the power of friendship, loyalty, and trust among partners, as well as the consequences of playing with fire. The franchise has expanded to include two spin-off films, Bad Boys for Life (2020) and its sequel, Bad Boys III, which continue to push the action-packed narrative forward.
