Will Smith in an adrenaline-pumping action film – unfortunately cut
This action movie starring Will Smith had to make some changes to unlock for 16 year olds. We have all the facts for you!
Tonight, April 20, 2023, VOX will be showing the night program at 10:25 p.m the second in an acclaimed action film series starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. It’s probably already ringing in your heads “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?” Guessed correctly! We are talking about “Bad Boys II“, which not only runs on VOX, but is also available in the stream at WOW. If you want to see the full-length film, you should probably use the streaming services, as VOX is showing the shortened version. However, this has the advantage that you do not have to be 18 years or older to watch it legally!

“Bad Boys II”: What is the second part of the action series about?
The Miami Police Department’s chaotic dream team is back: narcotics officers Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are given the task of convicting drug lord Hector Juan Carlos Tapia (Jordi Mollá). Within a high-tech special unit, they are supposed to do what the police have always failed to do: find out how the drugs are smuggled into the country in order to convict the drug lord. They get help from the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), which provides an undercover informant. When it turns out to be Marcus’ sister Sydney (Gabrielle Union), Mike and Marcus are less than thrilled. They’re trying everything to support Sydney. But when Mike also falls in love with Sydney, chaos is inevitable and the friendship between the two cops is put to the test.
By the way, the fourth part of the “Bad Boy” series is coming! And despite that Oscar scandal involving Will Smith!
“Bad Boys II”: Abridged and Unabridged
Before the film could be released for those aged 16 and over, a few things had to be changed. That’s why there’s an abridged version that’s approved for ages 16 and over and an unabridged version that wasn’t released for young people, but should only be viewed from the age of 18. For this purpose, in the FSK 16 version, image material was used in some places that does not appear in the FSK 18 version. There are also audio censorships, recuts and alternative scenes, but they didn’t affect the length of the film. Overall, both versions differ by 12 cuts.
