Questions

What is the plot?

The movie opens with the Bad Guys struggling to gain trust and acceptance as newly reformed Good Guys. They are shown attempting to live honest lives, including a montage of job interviews that highlight their difficulties fitting in. Their industrial-chic loft, hidden in the Los Angeles River storm drain system, serves as their base. Despite their efforts, they are pulled back into crime when framed for a series of high-profile thefts involving valuable objects made of a special metal.

The Bad Guys are forced out of retirement and coerced into working with an all-female criminal squad led by Kitty Kat, along with Doom and Pigtail. The female team demands the Bad Guys perform one last heist. The Bad Guys reluctantly agree, planning to steal a rocket owned by a billionaire named Mr. Moon. Their plan begins with successfully stealing Mr. Moon’s smartwatch at his wedding, which impresses Kitty Kat initially.

After the theft, Kitty Kat hands Wolf a flash drive as promised but secretly traps the Bad Guys when she discovers they recorded her confession. She uploads the footage to the internet, revealing Diane Foxington’s secret identity globally and alerting the police to the Bad Guys’ location. Diane confronts the female criminals before they board the rocket, but Kitty claims it is too late to stop the footage from spreading. Kitty tranquilizes Diane while she is distracted, but Diane manages to sneak onto the rocket half-conscious.

Luggins, a police officer, arrests the Bad Guys but admits she trusts them. She helps them board the rocket mid-launch via helicopter. Meanwhile, Doom and Pigtail feel guilty about trying to hurt the Bad Guys and retract their plans, but Kitty remains determined to succeed with the heist.

Kitty uses the rocket to magnetize a large amount of gold from Earth’s atmosphere, along with a limousine that includes the newly acquitted Professor Marmalade. Wolf reaches Kitty and tries to stop her, but Kitty breaks the magnet’s remote control. Wolf pickpockets the smartwatch from Kitty, which allows him to maneuver the rocket into the magnet, causing the rocket to crash into the space station and destroying the magnet. This also causes the gold to fall back to Earth.

Enraged, Kitty attempts to kill Wolf, but Diane recovers and defeats Kitty in a confrontation. Wolf and Diane reunite and share their first kiss. As the rocket plummets toward Earth, the Bad Guys regroup. Kitty escapes using an escape pod, followed by Pigtail and Doom.

The rocket crash-lands on Earth. Kitty is sent to prison, while Doom and Pigtail are sentenced to community service. Luggins fakes the deaths of the Bad Guys and Diane so they can work undercover as secret agents. Meanwhile, Marmalade flies off to his home planet in his limo, which transforms into a spaceship.

Who dies?

⚠ Spoiler – click to reveal

In The Bad Guys 2 (2025), no main characters actually die. There is a dramatic scene near the end where the Bad Guys' rocket is crashing toward Earth, and everyone believes the Bad Guys have died heroes in the crash. A funeral is held in their honor, reinforcing the belief that they perished. However, it is later revealed that the commissioner secretly rescued Mr. Wolf and his team, faking their deaths to keep them safe. They survive and are offered a fresh start as secret agents.

The antagonists, the Bad Girls (Kitty Kat, Doom, and Pigtail), are arrested by the end of the film but none of them die. The villain Professor Marmalade is seemingly doomed when his gold limo is lifted into space, but a post-credits scene reveals this was part of his plan, and he survives as well.

Thus, while the film includes tense moments suggesting character deaths, no characters actually die on screen or in the story. The apparent deaths are a ruse to protect the protagonists and set up their new roles as heroes in disguise.
