Some casting here:
Bad Boys 2
By FilmJerk
Let's get one thing straight. While I do get casting sheets like these from time to time, I have no freakin idea where auditions are or whom you should send your headshots to. I just pass along the information, okay.
Now, I wasn't much of a fan of the first one. Perhaps it was because Sony didn't have much faith in first time feature director Michael Bay or the two young actors who replaced Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey. The struggles of the first film have already been covered much better by much more talented writers than myself, so I can only hope that Sony will just throw heeps o' money at Bruckheimer and Bay and let them do their thing. Because, just sometimes, we need brainless crap like Bad Boys 2 to help us get between episodes of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.
The Starring Roles:
SYDNEY "SYD" BURNETT: 28 yrs. old, African American. She's sassy, smart, gorgeous - and Marcus' half sister. Mike turns on the charm and bullshit to try to seduce her, causing friction in the partnership with Marcus. She lives in NYC and claims to have a desk job at DEA. We later find out nothing could be further from the truth, she is an under cover agent pretending to launder dirty money. We also find out, she's good with a gun (Casting agents note this is "a great role for a star or an unknown".)
JOHNNY TAPIA: Late 30s to Early 40s with a darkly handsome face. Cuban/American. A deadly killer, ingenuous drug dealer. He is definitely not an "old school" dealer. His shipment of ecstasy pills is the largest to come out of Amsterdam. He has a lot of fire power and hates the law. He is nicknamed "The General" (Another "great role for a star or an unknown", according to the casting agents.)
The Supporting Roles
It is noted that while the following five characters coming back from the original Bad Boys, they may be the original actor or recast. This, to me, reads "If your name is Julio Oscar Mechoso, Nestor Serrano, Theresa Randle or John Salley and you want a part in this film that will definitely help your career, accept your normal rate or find someone else playing your role. And if your name is Joe Pantoliano, please don't screw us too much because there's only so much left to actually make the movie after Will and Martin and Jerry and Michael gets theirs."
DETECTIVE RUIZ: 30s- 40s. Hispanic, one of the Bad Boys, part of the Tactical Narcotics Team with Mike and Marcus. Ruiz and Sanchez are as close a team as Marcus and Mike, and like any couple that has been together for a long time they will wear the same tropical shirts to dress alike

Shooting begins on the Simpson/Bruckheimer production (yes, you read that correctly, Don's getting a credit despite passing away in 1995) in July in Miami.
I just saw it last nite. Imo it was very good and funny as hell.
I loved the part when they were going after blondie dred. They were going around the room interviewing the dead bodies after the shoot out.
"Let me go over here and see what he knows. Nope he don't know nuttin either!! Welp let me see about him. Nope he's dead too!!"
That was funny.....
Bad Boys II
Wow, this movie was worth the 8 year wait between the 1st & 2nd, although I just found out, and bought the 1st on Special Edition DVD about a week and a half ago, I just saw Bad Boys II, and it was SO GREAT, Hilarious, and Action packed, had to have around 8 action scenes in about 165 minutes, anybody who saw Bad Boys 1, or likes Will Smith and/or Martin Lawrence, go see it, it's action packed, hilarious, easily one of the best Comedy/Dramas of 2003!
