“Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?!”
The first Bad Boys movie premiered in 1995 starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as fellow cops who embark on (quite literally) explosive missions throughout Miami.

To celebrate the release of its latest installment Bad Boys: Ride or Die, have a look at how and where you can stream all the Bad Boys movies in the right order using services like Netflix and Prime Video. Put your seatbelt on. This will be a bumpy ride!
How to watch the Bad Boys movies in chronological order
The chronological order of the Bad Boys franchise is the same as its release order:
-
Bad Boys (1995)
-
Bad Boys II (2003)
-
Bad Boys For Life (2020)
-
Bad Boys: Ride Or Die (2024)
The franchise began with Michael Bay directing Bad Boys. The action comedy introduced the Miami-based narcotics detectives Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence). Even though Mike and Marcus have hilarious disagreements and ideological differences, the two partners have their back through thick and thin.
While the first movie found them trailing a criminal involved in stealing government money and dealing heroin, Bad Boys II raised the stakes. With Michael Bay returning as director, the 2003 sequel found the heroes investigating the flow of drugs into Miami. Car chases and explosions were doubled up a notch this time.
The Bad Boys returned more than a decade later with the 2020 hit Bad Boys For Life. Even though Mike and Marcus are older, they still have what it takes to take down criminals in style. The stakes were more personal this time with Mike forced to confront his estranged son.
The events of the third movie directly influenced the latest sequel Bad Boys: Ride or Die, as their former boss is falsely implicated for crimes he didn’t commit. Smith and Lawrence’s heroes become fugitives of the law to clear his name. Both Bad Boys For Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die are directed by the duo Adil & Bilall. Still, watch out for Michael Bay cameoing in both of these movies!
