This gotta be among my first 'badass' movies to fall in love with. The idea of watching two black men executing their lead roles in such a manner was appealing to my teenage self.

Martin Lawrence didn't manage to glow like Will Smith did first because Will was more. First because he had done so well on the 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' which debut 1990. Then after 'Bad Boys' in 95, he dropped his first 'solo' album in 97 dubbed 'Men in Black'. It had my all time favourite from him 'Gettin Jiggy with It' which was a hit in 98.

And as Will shone and keeps shining all this time, Lawrence was/is dealing with major bipolar disorders.
