Bad Boys for Life
Veteran Miami detective Mike Lowrey must race against time to uncover and stop a vengeful cartel son targeting his team, before the killer’s final hit leaves him permanently out of the game.
“Ride together. Die together.”
Synopsis
Marcus and Mike must face new threats, career transitions, and midlife crises as they join the newly formed elite team AMMO within the Miami Police Department to target Armando Armas, the ruthless leader of a Miami-based drug cartel.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 955+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.7× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
