It took 17 years to get Dangerous Boys For Life after Dangerous Boys II. Even with a pandemic it solely took 4 years to get the following Dangerous Boys — which is formally titled Dangerous Boys: Journey or Die, and is coming to theaters this summer season.
The movie as soon as once more stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence within the roles of rule-breaking Miami cops they originated within the first Michael Bay movie all the way in which again in 1995. Bay departed the franchise after Dangerous Boys II, however the guys who made the earlier movie, Adil & Bilall, are again to direct this movie as properly.
And this sequel takes the title much more actually than ever earlier than — with the boys on the run after their former boss (Joe Pantoliano) is accused of working with drug cartels. Check out the action-filled first trailer for the film beneath.

Whereas the fabric is pretty dated at this level, and Smith and Lawrence are a bit previous to play cocky, out-of-control cops, I’ll say: The final Dangerous Boys sequel, made by the identical filmmakers (who then went on to make the Batgirl film that nobody’s ever going to see), was surprisingly good.

If you see two getting old stars who may actually use a surefire hit return to a well-liked franchise, it’s straightforward to imagine they made the brand new sequel with craven motives and little ardour. That’s not the case with Dangerous Boys For Life. Each Smith and Lawrence got here to play, and in between the bombastic chases and shootouts, there are lengthy stretches the place they only speak; about their lives, about their households, and about their relationship. Proper from the primary scene, the script by Chris Bremner, Peter Craig, and Joe Carnahan is about greater than intelligent excuses to get these guys again in cool sports activities automobiles taking pictures at unhealthy guys (though they positively do a variety of that too). The themes introducing within the early scenes are explored within the second act, additional expressed by means of the chases and fights, and resolved within the conclusion. This would possibly sound like rudimentary stuff. However it’s generally surprising how few blockbusters efficiently pull off the rudimentary stuff.
Hopefully Journey or Die is made with the identical stage of care and fervour. Right here is the brand new movie’s official synopsis:
This Summer time, the world’s favourite Dangerous Boys are again with their iconic mixture of edge-of-your seat motion and outrageous comedy however this time with a twist: Miami’s best are actually on the run.
Dangerous Boys: Journey or Die is scheduled to open in theaters on June 7.
