Smith and comedian Martin Lawrence play a pair of fast-talking Miami cops who are also, not surprisingly, "magnets for random gunfire." Bad Boys II takes the action even further over the top, losing some of the charm in the process. Sony's funny and action-packed Bad Boys gave both men the high profile debut they were looking for and the rest is history.

However, the films of summer are still in the process of making their way to disc in time for the holiday shopping season. With Labor Day now in the rear view mirror and the kids back at school, it's safe to say that summer is officially over.
