Bad boys 4 VFX breakdown: Framestore

Framestore delivered breathtaking visual effects for Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die, significantly enhancing its explosive action scenes. One of the standout elements was Duke, a massive 14-foot albino alligator. Framestore meticulously crafted Duke by combining puppet references with advanced CGI, ensuring lifelike textures and realistic movements. The team carefully studied real alligators to capture Duke's movements, especially for intense moments like his deadly "death roll."

Another key sequence involved a dramatic seaplane crash into an abandoned alligator park. Framestore's team in Melbourne and Mumbai created intricate digital extensions and destruction simulations to seamlessly blend the practical sets with CG enhancements. Their work brought both Duke and the action-packed third act to life, making Bad Boys 4 a visual spectacle​
