The “Bad Boys” movies are getting a third entry, and it couldn’t have a dumber title.
Instead of going with the simple “Bad Boys III” someone had the bright idea to call it “Bad Boys for Life.” Okay, not a great title but not too horrendous. That is until they decided to put a little twist on it. The official title of the third movie will be “Bad Boys for Lif3.”
Do you see what they did there? They added a 3 as if people still text like that. The cringey title is giving me “Fant4stic” flashbacks, and if the studio wants people interested in this sequel, they should keep any memories of the ill-fated Josh Trank “Fantastic Four” remake far away. The title just reeks of some studio executive trying to “stay hip” and failing miserably.

“Bad Boys for Lif3” will yield the return of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, but Michael Bay, the director of the franchise’s first two entries, will not be returning to direct the third movie. Instead, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who’ve worked behind the camera on FX’s “Snowfall” will be sharing the director’s chair for the third “Bad Boys” film.
“Bad Boys for Lif3” will begin filming this upcoming January. Do you have any interest in seeing it? Does the title make you cringe as much as it makes me? Let me know in the comments below.
