The Bad Guys: 25 Things You Missed

The play might be called Othello but all the writing is about Iago, and while we might have identified with Luke Skywalker who dreamed of an exciting life beyond his humdrum moisture farming life, if we’re being honest we were really in it for Darth Vader. Even when it comes to the good guys it’s the roguish bad boy that gets the girl. Well, it was Luke’s sister so that would have been weird. But Han really is the lady’s choice. The only thing that we like more than bad guys is redemption arcs. Bad guys with redemption arcs? Well if you can dress it up in a pastiche of 70s crime movies and a charming ensemble of anthropomorphic animals usually cast in the bad guy role and you have the number one movie on opening weekend, The Bad Guys. While the movie itself is based on the Australian comic series, the look and feel of the movie reaches back to the crime dramas and thrillers of the 70s and movies like Ocean’s Eleven. Just like Kung Fu Panda created a kids movie take on the Kung Fu movie The Bad Guys is meant to be a child friendly take on the heist movie and the movies of very adult filmmakers Quinton Tarantino and Stephen Soderberg. Let’s take a dive into how the movie was made and what influenced it. Which nod to crime thrillers did you notice in the movie?
