FILM FLASHBACK: BAD BOYS II

The 2003 hit film Bad Boys II takes viewers on a wild ride and ultimately ends in Delray Beach for the spectacular explosion of the Bird mansion. Once the property sold, Eric Cherry coordinated with the Palm Beach County Film & Television Commission, who made sure filmmakers, local law enforcement and the Federal Aviation Agency was all on the same page.

Filming allowed for only one take, so the crew utilized dozens of cameras, thousands of gallons of gas, and explosives to bring down the $16.5M - 40,000 square foot, stigmatized property for the climatic scene. The dynamic duo of Martin Lawrence and Will Smith return this summer for the fourth installment of the franchise, Bad Boys: Ride of Die — in theaters on June 7.

Get ready for the iconic mix of pedal-to-the-metal action and outrageous comedy, but this time with a twist: Miami's finest are now on the run!
