Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024)
The world's favorite Bad Boys are back with their iconic mix of edge-of-your seat action and outrageous comedy. This time there’s a twist: Miami's finest are now on the run.
South Africa’s second most Googled movie and third biggest box office hit of 2024, Bad Boys: Ride or Die reunites Oscar winner Will Smith and multi-award-winner Martin Lawrence as Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. Supporting cast include People’s Choice nominee Vanessa Hudgens, Emmy winner Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), Eric ‘McSteamy’ Dane (Grey’s Anatomy, Euphoria), and Critics Choice Super nominee Alexander Ludwig (Vikings, The Hunger Games, Heels).
As TheWrap says, “Ride or Die shows that not only is there still life in this series, but as long as it stars Smith and Lawrence with skilled directors like Adil & Bilall, you could have Lowrey and Burnett wheeling themselves around the old folks’ home and have a blast.”
