Where to start with Bad Boys

Four films in release order and nothing complicated about it. The one thing worth knowing is that there is a television series in the same continuity that the films themselves never acknowledge, so it is genuinely optional.

  1. 1
    Bad Boys (1995) Bad Boys

    Michael Bay's first film, and much smaller than what the series became. Nothing before it, and the two leads' relationship is the only thing that carries through all four.

  2. 2
    Bad Boys II (2003) Bad Boys II

    Eight years later and enormously bigger, and it introduces Syd Burnett, who the spin-off series is about. It is the film the third one spends its whole runtime answering.

  3. 3
    Bad Boys for Life (2020) Bad Boys for Life

    Seventeen years on, with new directors and a story built entirely on what happened in the second film. It is the one that turns the series into something about getting old.

Then what? Then Ride or Die, which follows the third directly. L.A.'s Finest sits between the second and third films if you want it: it follows Syd Burnett to Los Angeles and treats the films as its own past, but no film ever refers back to it and a planned crossover was dropped, so skipping it costs nothing.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
