Bad Boys become synonymous with detectives



"Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whatcha gona, do♪" The two are nicknamed the " Bad Boys " by the Miami Police Department, after the Inner Circle song "Bad Boys Boys" sung by the two main characters in the movie. By the way, what do you do when Sheriff John Brown shows up in the song? John Brown is the sheriff who is shot in Bob Marley's famous song `` I Shot The Sheriff ''. "Bad Boys" is known as the theme song for the popular reality show "Cops" (89-present), which aired on TV before this work. It's like a theme song.


Let me introduce another piece of trivia about the title "Bad Boys." In the movie, there is a scene where the two hack a computer and take out Fletcher, a prisoner, for help. The prisoner is played by NBA player John Salley. When John Salley, who is over 2 meters and 10 centimeters tall, stands up, the difference between him and Martin Lawrence is interesting.

John Salley played for the Detroit Pistons, which won the NBA championship in 1989 and 1990. In the East Division Finals, the Pistons were in a desperate battle with the Chicago Bulls, who had Michael Jordan on board, and their dirty play and attitude earned them the nickname "Bad Boys." John Salley appears in this film, representing the "Bad Boys" of the NBA world. Incidentally, in 1996, the year after Bad Boys was released, John Salley joined the Bulls, this time as Michael Jordan's teammate, and became a champion again.
