Action Comedy ‘Bad Man’ Teases Tense Standoff in New Clip [EXCLUSIVE]

Game Rant could post an exclusive sneak peek from “Bad Man,” the recently released action-comedy movie directed by Michael Diliberti. The film, written by Diliberti and JJ Nelson, serves as the last on-screen role for the late Chance Perdomo.

Produced jointly by Hemlock Circle Productions and Brian Levy, the series Bad Man unfolds amidst a methamphetamine predicament in a fictional town called Colt Lake, Tennessee. Known for his roles in American Pie and Final Destination, Sean William Scott takes on the lead character of Bobby Gaines, a state narcotics agent posing undercover, whose arrival disrupts the small-town murder investigation, being led by Deputy Sam Evans, portrayed by Johnny Simmons.

New ‘Bad Man’ Clip Teases Complex Small-Town Dynamics

As the grand premiere of Bad Man approaches and Vertical Entertainment prepares for its broader theater debut, they’ve unveiled an exclusive sneak peek of the film – and here it is, courtesy of Game Rant. This intriguing clip showcases Gaines, Evans, and a character enigmatically referred to as DJ (portrayed by the sadly departed Gen V sensation Chance Perdomo). They traverse the ominous grounds of an uncanny family’s residence, accompanied by a haunting banjo tune. In a startling twist, it’s revealed that this melodious threat is not just background music but a sinister local band playing a trick on the unsuspecting trio.

After a quick conversation, Gaines successfully de-escalates the intense situation, avoiding a violent confrontation. This moment reveals that the agent’s arrival will stir up complex relationships in Colt Lake, gradually exposing underlying trust issues and suspicions. Additionally, the unanticipated appearance of a banjo subtly suggests that Bad Man might be an action-comedy, rather than a film that takes its serious subject matter too literally.

Today, September 5th, Distributor Vertical Entertainment is set to unveil the movie “Bad Man” in cinemas. This motion picture made its first appearance at the Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, Alabama back in late August 2025. Interestingly, principal filming for “Bad Man” took place in and around Helena and Graysville. Birmingham served as the primary production base for this movie, with “Bad Man” being the third film produced by Todd Friedman and Warner Davis in the city.

The movie titled “Bad Man” was influenced by an actual event that took place in 2008, involving a man named Bill Jakob, or Sergeant Bill, in Gerald, Missouri, as initially reported by Katie Couric. This real-life narrative may be considered as potential spoilers for the film. The action comedy “30 Minutes or Less,” which marked Diliberti’s first writing venture, was similarly inspired by real events. Regarding the movie’s significance, Chance Perdomo’s final screen role, the writer-director described him as a friend, an energetic presence on set, and incredibly gifted. Sadly, Perdomo passed away in a motorcycle accident at the age of 27 in late March 2024, approximately ten weeks after the completion of principal photography for “Bad Man.
