Heh, this is probably the best part of the film imo!

There is an ugly scene in "Bad Boys II" that I want to tell you about. A cop played by Martin Lawrence is alarmed that his 15-year-old daughter is going out on her first date. We see the girl, pretty and hopeful in her new dress, being fussed over by her mother. The doorbell rings, and Lawrence opens it to confront her date, a nervous 15-year-old boy, tall and thin, neatly dressed.

Marcus and his partner (Will Smith) intimidate the boy without mercy. He is threatened with the unspeakable if he lays a hand on the girl. They demand to know if he is a virgin. They slap him with the N-word. At one point a gun is pulled on him. "Ever had sex with a man?" Smith asks. Then with a leer: "Want to?" The boy is terrified.

The needless cruelty of this scene took me out of the movie and into the minds of its makers. What were they thinking? Have they so lost touch with human nature that they think audiences will like this scene? Do they think it's funny? Did the actors voice any objections? It's the job of the producer to keep a film on track; did Jerry Bruckheimer notice anything distasteful? Or is it possible that everyone connected with the film has become so desensitized by the relentless cynical aggression of movies like this that the scene passed without comment?

Ebert sounds like he's missing his sense of humour.

This is exactly what i'm planning to do one day if a guy ever wants to take my daughter out. Or at least something similar ;-)

It's always good to keep them afraid of the dad hehehe

I found the scene hilarious. Although I will admit the gun to his face, finger on the trigger and everything, felt a bit much. Then again, I'm fuzzy about firearms and their handeling.

Yeah he's fine with Bruckheimer's relentless jingoistic slaughter but bullying a 15 year old.. that's going too far.
