No, not the one you're thinking of. Say "Bad Boys" to any avid movie watcher and they'll probably think of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence immediately, but that wasn't the first film to bear the name. Another "Bad Boys" with Sean Penn in the lead role was made a full twelve years earlier than the famous one, way back in 1983. Perhaps it's not as fondly remembered because it was made with no attention to detail whatsoever.
There is a fairly climactic fight scene in the movie - the sort of all out brawl that "Fight Club" would be proud of, with both men reaching for a screwdriver to finish the other off - and the cameraman is in shot. We don't mean that he's just a little bit in shot, just stood off to the right or left, or that he's visible for a second and then he disappears. We mean he's literally right there, with his camera, front and center.
