Bad Boys: Ride or Die directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah – collectively known as Adil & Bilall – have explained why the newest movie pays off a major story element introduced in Bad Boys II. The newest installment has many ties to the previous Michael Bay-directed film, including a story that partially ties into the events of the second movie. However, one of the standout moments involves Reggie, the now-husband of Marcus’ daughter Megan, killing a group of mercenaries that threaten the Burnett family in a high-octane action scene.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Adil & Bilall explained why the newest movie pays off Reggie’s introduction from Bad Boys II, revealing why they decided to include this moment in the film. The directors wanted to have an engaging payoff for the character in the latest film, and decided the best way to create one was with an impressive action sequence. Check out what Adil & Bilall had to say below:
Bilall:
Yeah, the Reggie sequence is the ultimate. He really stole the movie. The
Bad Boys II
scene with Reggie is so iconic. I’ve seen it a million times.Adil:
Yeah, me too. For all the
Bad Boys
fans, that’s always one of the highlights.Bilall:
And now to see his payoff in this movie.Adil:
Yeah, the two of us, together with Will and Martin, were like, “Okay, 20 years later, how are we going to do the greatest, coolest payoff to that one scene in 2003?” In the history of cinema, a payoff to a setup like that has never happened in a movie series. So Dennis did a great job. He has only made three movies and they are all
Bad Boys
movies.Bilall:
Maybe we should do a Reggie spinoff.
More to come…
