Although Will Smith and Martin Lawrence returned for Sony’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Sydney “Syd” Burnett from Bad Boys II is noticeably absent from the action movie. With some familiar cast members returning to Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth installment in the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced buddy cop action series feels like a reunion of sorts. For fans of the Bad Boys franchise, there is a lot to get out of the fourth installment, including plenty of Bad Boys Easter eggs and references. However, Syd, a character crucial to Bad Boys II, is notably absent from Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
