Michael Bay has always insisted on a judicious mix of action and CGI giving prominence to the former. The guy does know how to blow up stuff in style and Bad Boys 2 was no exception. It was a hell ride from the word "go". Shootouts and fender bending car chases with trails of destruction were executed in style. The inter-coastal freeway chase is regarded as one among the most thrilling car chases ever filmed. A total of 100 cars, a tractor trailer truck and a boat(!) were totalled during the shooting of this epic car chase. That was Bay's answer to the chase sequence from The Matrix Reloaded. Way to go Bay'os!
The cost cutting editing techniques were much appreciated even by the critics who panned the film. Bad Boys 2 was the action junkie's movie. A movie which had no qualms in admitting the fact that it was a non-brainer.
