As fans prepare to watch the cop team's adventures in theaters, they may be reminded of the infamous Oscar slap by Smith, further solidifying their status as the Bad Boys.

Will Smith and Chris Rock may have sought a peace treaty since their infamous altercation at the 2022 Academy Awards, but reminders of the incident still haunt Smith. The latest reminder seems to flip the roles, with Smith experiencing a panic attack in Bad Boys: Ride or Die followed by a series of simultaneous slaps. 

In this scene, Marcus (played by Lawrence), Mike's detective partner, helps him recover with a series of comedic slaps. For fans familiar with the 2022 Oscars slap-gate incident, this comedic moment may bring back memories, intensifying the sense of role reversal. Despite this, it is unlikely to affect the movie's reception, which already stands out as a highlight to the audience.
