Anne Clayton, who lives in a building near the production, said she was not concerned about the road closure.
“This is a great place to do this movie,” she told NBC affiliate WTVJ, adding that she would love to be in the movie.

“It’s another movie, tourism, money,” he said. “Let’s get money from movie production instead of our taxes.”
Dorfman said he had “no problem” with the traffic control and said the city had done “stupid things beyond that.”
“Bad Boys” was released in 1995, and a sequel, “Bad Boys II,” was released in 2003. The third film, Bad Boys for Life, was released in 2020. The new movie is scheduled to be released on June 14th.
