I must have grown up in a bubble culture bc the narrator keeps saying the original bad boys was not considered successful or significant, but it was one of the movies that raised me n my peers.

Said the same thing, Bad Boys opened in 1995, me and 15 of my friends went to see it on opening weekend. All colors went to see Bad Boys and I do remember every race loved Beverly Hills Cop, not saying that we don't support our own, but Bad Boys, Beverly Hills Cop, Die Hard, Marvel and DCEU movies are crossovers in the all race and culture category.

Uh, the narrator said the original Bad Boy may not have been a critical darling, but it went on to "become a massive success". Where did you hear her say it wasn't considered successful or significant?

@cierrab8408 25 күн бұрын

White media vs black media unfortunately. The original came out in the 90s when black media was overlooked by the white masses. So while it’s a classic in most black households holds, it was until the 2000s with the sequel that it became “huge” and “seen” by the masses.

But his big red life has completely disgusted me. Married to someone who openly humiliates and hurts him on camera. I'm not down with that ever. Claiming to be in an close and loving relationship for years when in truth they were seperated--I have no time for you Will. You were the coolest who could do no wrong. And then along came the Wild Wild West. "I make shit look good." Have fun wit dat.
