Indulgent, reactive, loud, and completely unnecessary - Bad Boys II was Michael Bay showing the world what a sequel could be. SinacoLad looks back on the bravado, 20 years after its release:
—each successive title is a testament not to growth or to a broadening of his filmmaking vision, but to. To being able to always do more because he’s given more resources based on previously being able to do more based on being given more resources. To trusting in the clarity and strength of his vision, however violent and knuckleheaded and ultimately bleak. To always delivering. To masterful blockbuster pastiche, solidified.
Contradiction is at the heart of all that Bay does. He loves the cops but hates authority. He adores the army but dwells on the doom the military has brought to our scarred earth. He believes that one must do anything in one’s power to do what is right while never losing sight of the exceptional cost of doing what is right. He exploits womens’ bodies as sexual objects but also exploits the bodies of white men as the most disposable.
The second time we hear the word “necessary” is again from Marcus’s mouth. Staring into the back door, open, of a van full of corpses, he and Mike are in the midst of a high-speed chase, having just stolen a 2003 Cadillac CTS from Dan Marino, who was taking the car on a test drive.
