Yahoo Movies Bad Boys' Will Smith and Martin Lawrence celebrate movie's 26th anniversary
Bad Boys' Will Smith and Martin Lawrence celebrated the action movie's 26th birthday on Instagram this week.
Posting a brief clip, the DS Mike Lowrey and DS Marcus Burnett duo can be seen walking towards each other before turning to the camera in character.
A CGI explosion appears in the background and the present-day actors are then replaced on screen by their 1995 selves in the same pose – soundtracked by Simple Plan's 'I'm Just a Kid'.

Smith's caption read: "When we say FOR LIFE we mean it. Bad Boys came out 26 years ago today! @martinlawrence."
In the comments section, Bad Boys fanatics joined in with the celebrations, as one replied: "The fact that you two brothers were at the height of popularity with your sitcoms and partnered on an action-comedy is still pure genius."
"26 years ago?!! Well damn! Aren't we getting old," suggested another, before a third person declared: "And will FOREVER be a fave!!!!"

The third instalment of the Bad Boys franchise, Bad Boys for Life, was released last year.
In our three-star review, Digital Spy wrote: "With Michael Bay sidelined and Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah taking over directing duties, this still has the feel of a '90s crime thriller, but spends more time on characterisation and Lawrence and Smith's onscreen chemistry than both of the previous movies combined."
