Bad Boys II (2003)
Narcotics officers Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Bennett (Martin Lawrence) use a tile installers truck, with a square and compasses emblem painted on the back roll-up door [00:19:00]. The same truck is used later [01:11:40] when matching emblems can be seen on both sides of the vehicle.
Not a prop, the phone number belonged to Coachman Tile Inc., a Miami business registered by Dan Coachman in 1994. Coachman Tile Corp. was later registered in 2010 by Danny W. Coachman in Margate, Florida. It is contrary to masonic practice to use the emblem for business promotion but the vehicle owner may be a Freemason. There is no reason to assume the placement was intentional on the part of the film makers.
