If IMDb is to be believed Michael Bay left the premiere of the Friday the 13th remake (which he produced) half way through in disgust over its level of graphic sex and nudity on display. He obviously completely forgot about Bad Boys II, which features dead bodies being thrown from the back of a truck and being decapitated, a prolonged gag about a dead woman’s fake tits, Will Smith poking Martin Lawrence in the ear with a severed finger, innocent people being caught in the cross fire of police shootouts, lurid shots so far up women’s skirts the camera may as well be up their vaginas and rats fucking each other for no reason at all. But its ok, two teenage kids having consensual sex in a slasher movie is obviously far worse.
I far from condone the Michael Bay approach to movie making but this just takes the piss. Everything about it is mean spirited and just plain vile. It’s also long. Really. Fucking. Long. He would reach higher (albeit less R-rated) excesses in his fighting robots sequel but this still remains his worst movie in a long line of iffy movies.
It does have a rather cool car chase 20mins in though.
1.5/5
