Car chase in movies, most people would probably think of Fast and Furious series first. But not me. I would say, the car chase scene in the Bad Boys 2 is the best I have ever seen. A scene of good guys chasing bad guys chasing a good guy. The scene is so intense, just like what the characters said in the scene, "Jesus Christ!", "This is some sick shit!". In fact, it is so intense that one simply can't watch it without at least some amount of swearing.
The filming technic is also very innovative, because I don't remember seeing any of this kind of sick shit before this movie. Michael Bay also made the scene very realistic too, unlike those in Fast and Furious series. I think Fast and Furious series are overhyped. Come on! This is what we should call a good car chase sequence!
Michael Bay used to make good action movies. I would really prefer Transformers 1, 2 and 3 never happened. Many of us probably have never seen some of his good movies, like Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Island, and of course Bad Boys 1 and 2. Bad Boys 2 needs some particular attention though, because many new filming technics introduced in this movie was then reused again in his other movies afterwards. For example, the car chase sequence above was reused again in The Island in 2005. Instead of dropping cars from a truck, train wheels are used.
Side note :
My father also loves this scene in Bad Boys 2. Almost everytimes he got tensed out from work, he would come back home, put the Bad Boys 2 DVD in, and play this scene in particular with his home theater surround system at high volume. He says he needs to release some stress! Lol, what a way of relieving stress. The funny part is, my mom always hates it whenever he does this, and they always have some little fight over this issue. Nothing serious though, it is just the way my parents interact with each other.
