3. Why It Took 8 Years For Bad Boys II
2003's Bad Boys II was released in 2003. Martin Lawrence revealed to ABC News that the majority of Bad Boys was improvised, and all parties involved felt the need for a stronger script. "To get us in a room and all agree on the same script was not easy, because if I'm ready and Will is out of the country, it is just hard to get together," he said.
"And we didn't find a script that we liked so nobody wanted to do it." In the first film we pretty much ad-libbed every scene," Smith added. "We didn't want to do that on this one. So what we did is, we had probably three weeks of rehearsals prior to the film where we just had a writer there. So we had all of our ad-libbing ahead of time."
