Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This sequel exists because the first Bad Ass (2012) made $7 million on a $3 million budget despite being barely released in theaters. Hollywood math is wild.
The franchise was inspired by a real 2009 viral video of a Vietnam veteran beating up a racist skinhead on a bus—but the movies turned that into three films of Trejo punching people while Glover complains about his pension.
