Sony has unleashed the new trailer for Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth installment in the action franchise, and just as expected it's not short on over the top action, and funny one liners between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

The popular action-comedy franchise debuted in 1995, when Smith and Lawrence first teamed up as Miami PD detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, who investigate illegal drug trading in Miami.
While the first two films were directed by Michael Bay, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah directed “Bad Boys for Life” and are returning for this latest installment of the “Bad Boys” franchise. Alexander Ludwig, Vanessa Hudgens, Eric Dane, Paola Núñez, Rhea Seehorn, Tasha Smith and Ioan Gruffudd also star.
Seventeen years separated the releases of “Bad Boys II” in 2003 and “Bad Boys for Life” in 2020, the latter of which came out in theaters just before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down exhibition and earned $426.5 million at the worldwide box office.
In January, Smith and Lawrence announced the fourth installment on social media by sharing a reunion video with the caption, “IT’S ABOUT THAT TIME!”
In “Bad Boys for Life,” Mike was on the hit list of a young man, Armando (Jacob Scipio), whose mother Isabel (Kate del Castillo) tasked him with murdering those responsible for the death of his father, a drug king pin. The third film leaves viewers with the revelation that Armando is actually Mike’s son, and a credits scene hints at father and son potentially working together in some capacity.
As I stated above, Bad Boys 4 looks pretty good, and there were moments in the trailer that I laughed out loud. My only gripe is that they screwed up with the title. Ride or Die should have been the title of the third film, while Bad Boys 4 Life should have been the title of the new film.
Other than that I'm excited to see the new film when it drops, which I believe is the same weekend the Crow remake comes out.
“Bad Boys 4” is set to be released in theaters June 7. Check out the trailer below.
