LA s Finest is currently the third most-watched show on U.S. Netflix, meaning that plenty of viewers are enjoying the high-octane police series starring Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba. Not everyone, however, may have realized that the show is actually a spin-off of the
Bad Boys movies. Though set on a different coast than the Miami-set movie trilogy, there are plenty of Easter eggs to the Michael Bay movies starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and some characters cross over from the film trilogy into the Spectrum Original show.
The
Bad Boys franchise unveiled a limited-edition merch collection to commemorate the 25
th anniversary of the launch of the iconic film as well as the success ofÂ
Bad Boys for Life, which was released in January 2020.

Martin Lawrenceâs character) from the film as well as the duoâs most recognizable quotes.
