You know that scene where him and Will Smith were talking to/being yelled at by their captain (Joe Pantoliano) while he was shooting hoops in the indoor basketball court (i.e. "you be you, but...not in front of her...you're him, you're you!!!")? Sorry, I don't have a pic/screen capture to show you what I'm talking about. But if you're sure you know the scene I'm referring to, I need your opinion on something. This has been bugging me for 11 years since the movie ever came out.

Remember one of those takes of Martin Lawrence grumbling something to Will Smith (while the captain wasn't looking), and his eyes are all big and his nostrils are flaring? Well, my mom and I have disagreed vehemently on this for as long as I can remember, but I'm pretty positive that was a booger in his nose. My mom maintains that it was light from the background shining into his nostrils. We've yet to find middle ground.

So what do you think? Was it a shine, or a booger? I prefer the latter.

If it's at all evident that this post SUCKS, I'm perfectly aware of that, thank you. But feel free to vent anyway if you like. I'll understand. Also, feel free to discuss the movie itself if you like. That goes without saying.

I think this is the funniest post I've ever read. I'm sorry I can't help you with your "problem," I remember the scene but not that specifically. I think you and your mother are putting too much into this, but hey - whatever works.

I'm surprised you found a pic, Cronos. But yeah, it's a booger. Shines aren't that organic. Not in that dimly-lit kind of background.

I remember when BAD BOYS was coming out and people were speculating that it would be a breakout flick for both Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, both of whom at the time were better known as TV stars. Funny to look back at it now, Smith has quite a movie career (including a few flicks that are actually watchable), whereas Lawrence has...yeah.

Can you believe Martin Lawrence got top-billing in this flick?
