The Fugitive Story of Ride or Die Is Like That of 1998's U.S. Marshals.
The narrative of Bad Boys: Ride Or Die and what transpires in U.s. Marshals have certain obvious parallels. Originally a follow-up to Harrison Ford's 1993 picture The Fugitive, the 1998 film once more followed Tommy Lee Jones's character and his squad of U.S. Marshals. Though the fugitive is innocent of the crimes he was charged of, the story centers on them tracking him throughout the countryside and city by the U.S. Marshals when he escapes custody following an aviation accident.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die tells the same exact tale as U.S. Marshals, either deliberate or accidental. The daughter of Captain Howard, a U.S. Marshal, declares Mike and Marcus fugitive. This follows the plane carrying Mike, Marcus, and Armando being taken over and resulting in a crash landing where the Miami cops are blamed as part of a bigger plot. Like what happened with U.S. Marshals, Mike and Marcus are innocent of the suspected offenses yet they still flee to avoid Judy's team following their plane accident.
Bad Boys has a close relationship to American Marshals and fugitives.
The resemblance between U.S. Marshals and Bad Boys: Ride or Die only emphasizes their shared connection. Apart from being action crime series, every movie include Joe Pantoliano. Pantoliano play Cosmo Renfro, one of Tommy Lee Jones's character's U.S. Marshals squad member, originally performed in Fugitive. The actor debuted Captain Howard in the first Bad Boys just two years after performing Cosmo.
Joe Pantoliano later returned as Cosmo in U.S. Marshals in 1998. Since then, he has starred Captain Howard three more times in every Bad Boys sequel—including Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Though the two characters are quite different, the six appearances taken together create a pleasing trend for Pantoliano playing law enforcement agents in financially successful series. Therefore, the Joe Pantoliano relationship between U.S. Marshals and Bad Boys: Ride or Die makes it more difficult to overlook even if the duplicated fugitive plots were not planned.

In an effort at atonement, they vanish into the bush and must find their way back to Miami via a wild sequence of events. Although Mike, Marcus, and Armando were being chased by federal investigators before to the ending of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, their fate that renders them wanted fugitives is quite evocative of another well-liked sequel.
