Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’Frank Masi/Sony
They include one nightmarish helicopter ride where they are trying to transport Armando (still caged!)
but are unaware that bad guys including McGrath are also on board.
Anything goes in this one, so check your brain at the door and just run with it.

He is excellent.Tiffany Haddishis largely wasted in the brief but colorful turn she is given.
Producers are Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, Doug Belgrad and Smith.
