DailyMail.com, as well as PopSugar, also posted articles claiming a scene from âBad Boys 4âł was filmed at the Gatorland Amusement Park.
News 6 reached out to McHugh at Gatorland, who denied the claim in this email response:
âWe would love to have been the site for them, but that was a blunder from someone on their crew. I think the location was in Georgia or South Carolina. We received a lot of attention for it, but itâs not us.â
Smith and Lawrence announced there would be a âBad Boys 4âł in an Instagram video in January.
Bad Boys premiered in 1995, followed by âBad Boys IIâ and âBad Boys for Life.â The franchise grossing over $800 million in the box office.
Although we arenât sure exactly where one of the action scenes was filmed, weâre all wondering and (some hoping) if Florida gators will make an appearance in the new movie.
Sony Pictures has not released when the fourth installment of the franchise will premiere.
