Culver City, Calif. (March 22, 2010) – Sony Pictures Home Entertainment asks: “Whatcha gonna do?” on June 1, 2010 when Michael Bay’s inaugural adrenaline-fueled feature debuts on high definition Blu-ray™ for the SLP of $24.95. Responsible for such blockbusters as the Transformers films and Armageddon, Bad Boys was the first full-length feature from Hollywood’s high-action, big-budget baron. Starring Will Smith (Hancock, Men in Black I & II) and Martin Lawrence (Big Momma’s House I &II, Boomerang), the film features the comedic duo as narcotics officers in an intense game of cloak and dagger as they battle crooked cops and the evil underworld of the Miami drug cartel in a frantic search to recover 100 million dollars in stolen heroin. This film also features Téa Leoni (Flirting with Disaster), Joe Pantoliano (Bound) and Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos”). Produced by action/comedy powerhouses Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop) and Don Simpson (The Rock), Bad Boys propelled Smith and Lawrence from successful sitcom actors to major movie stars.
Funking up this “bad” Blu-ray are three hip-hop videos as well as a documentary “Putting the Boom & Bang in the Bad Boys” and commentary with Michael Bay.
