Sean Penn plays the 17-year old anti-hero, but when he is faced with survival in a boy's prison you can't help but root for him. For those who haven't seen it yet - it's a cool and interesting jailhouse film that still holds up. I recommend this dvd to everyone who enjoyed it back in the day. This is key in explaining one of the film's supporting characters. But the the most significant restoration is where Tweety is shown driving off in a red van with his friends after he is let out (and he gives a middle fingered salute to the boys in the pen). O'Brien's mom tells him to turn down the radio - and he turns it up (the song is Everybody Wants You by Billy Squire), Paco's friends stare at Allie Sheedy as she was on the L train, and Sheedy identifies Paco in a police lineup. Scenes that had been previously missing from the previous vhs and dvd release have been restored. This dvd that I am reviewing has the yellow strip across the top that says "uncut and uncensored" and it did not disappoint. I heard about the first release of this film to dvd that came out a few years ago where some were saying that there were scenes cut. There were only 2 left on the shelf, so I quickly grabbed this dvd at Best Buy the other day for $7.99. I refer to the 1983 movie for the rest of this review to avoid confusion - which happens when a few movie producing idiots decide to use the same name for a different movie. Now I have my own original Bad Boys dvd and I no longer have to worry about cable channels repeating the 1995 movie over and over while hardly acknowledging the better one. Whenever I see a TV schedule and notice Bad Boys in the lineup, it is almost always the 1995 Martin Lawrence movie - which I have never seen nor do I care to see. Forget the one with Martin Lawrence and the plageurized title - this one's about REAL Bad Boys. "This review is for the new uncut dvd of the 1983 movie called Bad Boys. ![]()
