Director Michael Bay didn't like the script and often engaged Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in discussions about how the dialogue and scenes could improve. He often allowed them to improvise while the camera were rolling. He secretly told Will to call Lawrence a bitch before the car-scene. The whole "two bitches in the sea" was improvised, as was Martin's comment when Téa Leoni called him gay.
Directorial debut of Michael Bay.
The two leads were originally intended for Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes.
The opening scene where Mike and Marcus are held up by two carjackers was shot in Los Angeles weeks after principal photography had been completed. Columbia and Michael Bay wanted a better, more comedic introduction to the two lead characters than what was in the original film.
According to Michael Bay, Sony bought the rights to the script from Disney for $3 million. Martin Lawrence had signed on at that point, and the studio wanted to team him with Arsenio Hall. Bay decided to replace Hall with Will Smith after noticing the potential for Smith's star power from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990). Hall turned it down and cites that choice as the worst mistake he has ever made.
"[Mike, Marcus, and Julie start arguing, nobody paying attention to his gun; Julie just walks out] Store Clerk: Hey, freeze bitch! Mike Lowrey: [as he points the gun her way, in a flash Mike and Marcus stop arguing and point their guns at his head] YOU freeze, bitch! Store Clerk: Oh shit, I'm fucked. Mike Lowrey: Now back up, put the gun down, and get me a pack of Tropical Fruit Bubblicious. Marcus Burnett: And some Skittles."
"Marcus Burnett: Hey man where-where-where's your cup holder? Mike Lowrey: I don't have one. Marcus Burnett: What the f- w'you mean you don't have one? Eighty thousand dollars for this car and you ain't got no damn cup holder? Mike Lowrey: It's $105,000 and this happens to be one of the fastest production cars on the planet. Zero to sixty in four seconds, sweetie. It's a limited edition. Marcus Burnett: You damn right it's limited. No cup holder, no back seat. Just a shiny dick with two chairs in it. I guess we the balls just draggin' the fuck along."
