Jake Gyllenhaal explains he how ended up behind the camera for AmbulanceMovie: “Michael Bay’s a real big fan of flares in cameras -- I don’t know if you ever noticed -- so he passed the camera over to me because I was at the right angle.”
Michael Bay’s newest film “Ambulance” follows a bank robbery gone wrong as it turns into an chase through the streets of Downtown Los Angeles. It’s also loaded with references to his past projects, from “Bad Boys” to “The Rock.” Speaking tosenior entertainment writer Angelique Jackson, the cast revealed their favorite films by the iconic action director.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who co-stars in the film as Danny’s brother Will, called out Bay’s first movie, 1995’s “Bad Boys,” as his top choice. But he wouldn’t want to replace Will Smith or Martin Lawrence, opting to play a new character in the classic buddy cop film instead. “Bad Boys” is also at the top of Bay’s personal list, with the director reflecting on the stressful yet rewarding experience making the movie.
Eiza González’s favorite Bay movie is more recent: “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” The actor, who plays EMT Cam Thompson, considers the 2016 movie one of Bay’s most creative and well-developed projects due to its relatively small budget compared to his other blockbuster shoots.
