In a recent interview with SlashFilm, Townsend discussed

the cultural impact of B.A.P.S. and the mixed reactions the film has received over the years.

“There’s people that love, love, love the film and some people that didn’t get it. And those that love it — like you love it, and you get it. I’ve had people go, ‘Hey, we want to do a remake,’” Townsend said. “Everybody from Megan Thee Stallion to Cardi B is like, ‘Could we do…’ I mean, it’s like, I don’t know.”

“It’s kind of interesting because some people love B.A.P.S. and then some people don’t like B.A.P.S. And some people are mad because they go, ‘You gave Halle Berry gold teeth and blonde hair.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I did!’” Townsend said.

Despite the mixed reviews, Townsend is open to the idea of a remake or sequel.

“It’s a well-made movie, and if you go on the ride and go, ‘Oh, it’s two country girls trying to make some money, and then they find who they are,’ And at the end of the day, they do win. But it’s because they’re being honest and transparent,” Townsend added.
