There are very few franchises, especially action franchises, that stand the test of time and attract a new set of audiences with each passing decade, regardless of prevailing trends. It is a tough task, and filmmakers and actors who manage to achieve this are indeed artists with a lot of mettle. One such franchise that has done it successfully is the incredible, hilarious, and high-octane action-packed "Bad Boys." Starring the once-angry young (now older) man Will Smith, and the man with impeccable comic timing, Martin Lawrence, this franchise, which started almost three decades ago, is now moving towards its fourth film.
Yes, this is just the fourth film in the "Bad Boys" franchise, and the buzz around it is massive. "Bad Boys: Ride Or Die," aka "Bad Boys IV," has created a lot of anticipation among a fandom that has been waiting for more for almost half a decade. But before this fourth installment, there were three previous films, each released after significant gaps. So, to give you a revision before you buy that ticket for the fourth part, we thought of listing down where you can watch the previous three films on streaming. Read on to know everything you should about the same.
What Is The "Bad Boys" Franchise About?
The official synopsis for the franchise reads, “Bad Boys is a series of American buddy cop action comedy films starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as two detectives in the Miami Police Department, Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. The series was created by George Gallo.” The movies center around these badass cops as they go on missions to bust drug syndicates. Below are the installments and where you can watch them on streaming in India.
Bad Boys (1995)
Once celebrated, now their reputation is at stake. Will Smith as Mike Lowrey and Martin Lawrence as Marcus Burnett are on a hunt for one hundred million dollars of drugs that have gone missing from police custody after they had busted it. Once considered a career-making case for the two, it has now become an infamous tag. The threat is that their department is on the verge of being shut down, and to make matters worse, their friend is kidnapped as the investigation intensifies. Things get personal, and they must fight back. The film is streaming on Jio Cinema, YouTube (on rent), Google Play (on rent), and Apple TV (on rent).

It took nearly a decade for the makers to bring the boys back to the danger zone. This time, the hunt is for a drug lord, taking them from Miami to Cuba, where a massive, shocking revelation awaits. When it happens, you will be left surprised. This sequel is where the bromance and their underlying humor bloomed most brilliantly.
