On The Set Of Bad Boys II And Fast and Furious II
Submitted by Paula Bowers-SanchezOn Monday, Sept. 9, 2002...
I spent my first day on the set of Bad Boys II as a member of the background performers. We were featured in a number of scenes, including a shooting scene that takes place in downtown Miami.
The lead actors are Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, and Gabrielle Union (Bring It On, Two Can Play That Game). It is directed by Michael Bay (Pearl Harbor) and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
On Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2002.
I spent most of this day shooting different angles of the scene from Monday. However, I did get to meet and speak with Will Smith briefly through his wardrobe person, Robert Matta, who just happens to be a great friend of Marilyn McEuen.
I presented Will with two Seminole Jackets for he and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. I was also lucky enough to meet and speak with Gabrielle Union.

I spent this last day re-shooting scenes that were rained out on Tuesday. Jada Pinkett-Smith visited the set and I had a chance to meet and speak with her briefly. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera so, no photos with Jada.
Although the 12th was the last day of filming for the scene our group would be in, the movie does not wrap until December. So, hopefully, I will be called back for other scenes. It was quite interesting to see what all is involved in filming a movie.
The three days of shooting we did only accounts for approximately 8 to 9 minutes of the entire movie. Isn't that amazing?!!

This was only the second day of filming for Fast and Furious II, directed by John Singleton and starring Paul Walker and Tyrese (Vin Diesel will not be appearing in the sequel).
Today, we shot a scene outside a restaurant in Miami, involving Paul and Tyrese. My Jeep was also used in the scene! I was called for just this one day, but the movie will be shooting for the next 5 months. So, hopefully, I will be called up again.
Well, I just wanted to share my experience with you, and thank Marilyn McEuen for her continued help and support. It is such a wonderful feeling to have someone believe in your talent and ability and who will go out of their way to do anything to help you achieve your dreams...
