Bereichert wird dieser Bildband durch zahlreiche Bad Boys aus großen Kinohits: Harte Jungs wie Johnny Strabler (Marlon Brando in DER WILDE), Maverick (Tom Cruise in TOP GUN) oder Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt in FIGHT CLUB) haben sich durch ihr Charisma in unser Gedächtnis gebrannt. Neben vielen großartigen Fotos enthält das Buch auch Informationen zu den Stars und Persönlichkeiten sowie zahlreiche Zitate.
