It’s one of the definitive action films of the noughties, not just in its own right but for its influence on Edgar Wright’s affectionate rural pastiche Hot Fuzz. Yes, it’s Bad Boys II (Sunday 5th, 9pm)! When detectives Burnett and Lowrey investigate potent new drugs flooding Miami, they end up in the fight of their lives.
Michael Bay’s love of outlandish action has never been displayed to better effect, and Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s rapport would have sufficed to carry even a far quieter film. Gabrielle Union, Peter Stormare, Theresa Randle and Joe Pantoliano also feature.
