n this sequel Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) are now detective lieutenants of the Tactical Narcotics Team of Miami PD. They are investigating the flow of ecstasy into Miami after breaking up a Ku Klux Klan rally wherein Lowrey accidentally shoots Burnett in the buttocks which, combined with Lowrey's apparent propensity for violence, becomes a point of contention between the two throughout most of the film.
Their search leads to a dangerous and neurotic Cuban kingpin named Johnny Tapia (Jordi Mollà), whose plan to control the city's drug traffic has sparked an underground war between Tapias crew and the Russian Mob.
Meanwhile there is a relationship between Lowrey and Burnett's sister, Syd (Gabrielle Union), who also happens to be undercover with the DEA. Syd has gone undercover as a banker for one of Tapia's associates. When the deal goes awry, Burnett and Lowrey jumps in and save Syd. When they ask Syd what she was doing being involved in the case, she refuses to tell them about it because she is under strict orders from the DEA not to discuss any information with the Miami Police Department because they have been reported to have too many leaks. In an unfortunate turn of events, Syd is captured by Johnny Tapia and taken to Cuba.
When the DEA refuses to take any action, Burnett and Lowrey along with their team of mostly ex-Delta commandos, prepare a plan to recover Syd from Tapia's capture. They construct two tunnels from a safe house owned by Lowrey and Burnett's colleague's brother (a member of Alpha 66) located directly opposite Tapia's mansion in Cuba. The first tunnel would allow several members from their team to surface in the garden of the mansion and take out the security room on the side of the mansion. The second tunnel intercepted the escape tunnel from the mansion in the case that Tapia planned to escape or if the CIA and other team members needed to escape, they could leave through an alternative route.
A RC car with video cameras attached to the top moves around the garden along the pool line to a group of soldiers who are playing Soccer. After attracting the curiosity of the soldiers, the vehicle explodes blowing the soldiers into the air.
A long gunfight ensues and eventually the Cuban military arrive outnumbering the team. An explosive named "Tapia house gift" is placed in the house and is detonated, destroying the house. However, the explosion cuts Burnett and Lowrey from their escape route and they come under fire from the Cuban military. Lowrey says they should resort to "Plan B" which had not been discussed or outlined. After a short-lived argument between Burnett and Lowrey. Syd encourages them to stop fighting and get on with it.
Lowrey breaks into a yellow Hummer H2 and drives it through the wreckage of the house. They are soon followed by another van through a drug-making area in the form of a shanty town on the side of a hill. The vehicles cause the solutions in these buildings to mix which cause explosionss.
After the long car chase they end at the U.S. Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. As Marcus and Syd plead with the soldiers at the lookout post, they are told they are standing in the middle of a minefield which is demonstrated by an iguana treading on the spikes just above the surface and finally exploding.
A gunfight erupts between Tapia and Lowrey with Tapia's friend becoming involved. Tapia then takes Lowrey and puts a gun to his head, threatening Syd and Burnett. Syd throws her gun on top of a mine close to Carlos (Otto Sanchez) and he gets killed. Burnett takes the opportunity and shoots Tapia in the head. Tapia's body then falls on a mine and explodes, charring the body into pieces. However, Lowrey remains alive and praises Burnett for his impecable aim and tells him that he hopes his next partner shoots that good. Back at Burnett's home it is revealed that they are to remain partners as Burnett shredded the papers. It is also revealed that Lowrey bought Burnett a new pool, but it too breaks. Burnett and Lowrey end up in the water and start singing the Bad Boys song
