The Bug did an excellent job of quickly assimilating himself into American culture. Minutes after landing, he grabs a gun, and consumes an absurd amount of sugar.
LOL
LMAO
Dude 😂
and did a face lift
It is Vincent d onofrio who made this character memorable
what's sadder is that the Bug was more respectful to the wife than Edgar
it didn't insult or yell at her while asking for sugar on water lol
That also explain why The Bug didn't kill Edgar's wife. It must have like her.
Pff humans lol
The bug only killed people in his way, or people who were killing bugs, like the exterminator or the morgue clerk. The wife obeyed his demands, so he probably saw no reason to kill her.
@@HylianSith920 the morgue clerk wasn't killed. Same guy pops up in the sequel and is an alien conspiracy theorist after his encounter with the roach alien.
@@Lord_Messiah_Disciple Exactly! Dude just got puked on😬
I’m surprised that Vincent D’Onofrio didn’t get enough recognition for this role because his performance is PHENOMENAL!
He got a saturn award
It wasn't really VIncent D'Onofrio though... it was a bug alien in his skin, that;s the point, DUH!
His performances are ALWAYS awesome. Truly underated actor
I can't believe I missed the fact that it was him.
@Ian Turner He sure did. Quite the transformation, eh?
Vincent d'onofrio absolutely owned every part of the role.
Oscar winning performance as far as I'm concerned
I owned every fart in my house too
@Sh D only difference being nobody has ever heard of you.
@@REDisKING excuse me, INCORRECT! My whole family did
He stole the movie
Alien bug was much more polite to Edgar's wife than Edgar ever was
Lol swear!
Yes, the abusive husband trope they fooled millenials into thinking women were oppressed...
I remember in the novelization, when J and K talk to Edgar's wife, one of the indicators that something was wrong was how Edgar was nice to her.
I love the little grunt from “Edgar” when he runs into the door. Small details like that make this scene awesome. 🤣
Actually that's because he can't bend his knees. You know being a roach and all.
He reached for the handle, on the wrong side (with his right hand) made the grunt then corrected himself and opened it from the proper side (left).
Man I loved that detail lol, makes me laugh everytime
@@yashwagh83 @ 0:07 just a little to the left behind the burning tree. What's that moving?
@@XXLSSBBW oh god that's great eye! Probably he's a crew member came into frame by mistake.
I honestly love how quickly the film establishes Edgar as an abusive husband so you don't feel bad for him when he immediately gets killed. Nice bit of screenwriting.
He complemented her butt tho he wasn’t all bad lol
its kind of an overused plot device in movies
Hes just an honest hard working farmer
That’s probably the laziest, overused bit in film to this day.
Shows like 1000 ways to die, did the same.
It's still hard to believe this is a real live human being playing the role of an insectoid space alien trying to pretend to be human. The hardest thing is to act like something else trying to act like what you are and I have an insane amount of respect for actors who can pull it off flawlessly. I also can't believe this same man plays Kingpin in Marvel. Dude has crazy range
If I'm not mistaken, Vincent put stiff knee braces on so his motions would be janky and, well, stiff, to give the appearance of something trying to use joints in the opposite direction of what it's used to.
Guy doesn't do many roles, but when he does you'll be damned sure to remember.
Dude, played Thor in Adventures in Babysitting. His range is that of legends.
He will always be Private Pyles to me
Full Metal Jacket
My dad always quotes the “get your big butt back into the house!” part of this scene. He’s been jokingly saying it to my mom literally since we first saw the film in 1997 😂
Are you sure hes joking lmao
My dad as well, it’s honestly funny and really quotable.
and he is still alive ? just joking
Hancock. Lol!
That's not very funny
Nobody seems to think about how painful it must have been to have someone's skin peeled clean off and then be eaten alive!
Actually, I think about that all the time. hahaha.
The way he screams says it all.
yo nick thats exactly what i think about my dude. its fuckin nuts if i actually visualize it from the audio in the scene.
I don't have to think about it 😏
I don’t think his skin was peeled off, I think the bug basically drank him like a capri sun.
I wish Men In Black would get back to the fun, whimsicality, originality, and excellent writing of the first one. The chemistry between Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones was so much fun! Vincent D’Onoforio absolutely killed it as “The Bug” ...
Big budget movies aren't allowed to be fun anymore.
@@aelius3805 this really seems to be the case. And if it is 'fun' it's just lame marvel jokes every few minutes instead of good writing
@Dan The Onion Lad he's not wrong though.
Holy shit, i only knew him from the kigpin role in daredevil, i never would have guessed this is the same person
Yeah like WTF even was the 2nd one a bunch of fetish shit
Vincent D’onofrio’s performance as Edgar/The Bug is absolutely top notch. He should’ve gotten more recognition for his performance.
His name is Pyles
Honestly the actor killed his role
He killed every role he ever did. Check him out in Magnificent 7.
That's Vincent D'onofrio
Full metal jacket!!
He is Kingpin on Daredevil netflix
I just saw him in a broadcast in which he described how he figured out how to walk as an alien. Extremely entertaining and smart. If anyone is interested I can recommend watching Kevin Pollaks chat show.
Love how he goes to open the door from the wrong side.
Wdym?
@@slimlim168 1:29 he tries to open it from the wrong side at first
@@jimora16 well it’s first time entering that house, Edgar is dead.
The grunt when he did it lmao
Details like this really sell the scene
I love how we get a very quick "blink and you'll miss it" glimpse at the bug as Edgar is pulled in.
Bugs were the most dreaded aliens in the universe yet it still treated her better than Edgar did
You didn't notice how the real Edgar made his wife stay inside so she wouldn't be in danger?
@@DontLeaveMeLucile Pretty sure it wasn't for her safety.
@@deepaparakkal4241 have you never heard of tough love, some parents or lovers will say the harshest things just to protect them
@@tomedy_official that’s a great way to justify being in an abusive relation ship
I mean, in a situation of stress, if you want to keep somebody you love away from danger, you can get harsh with your words if they insist in exposing themselves to said danger
Not sure if thats Edgars case though
You know, props to Edgar's actor. He nailed this perfectly.
Wilson Fisk….we don’t say his name
I refuse to believe he's a human being. The way he struggled to walk like a biped and the way he ever so naturally sounded like he was struggling to sound human
Vincent D’onofrio
It's so hard to believe that this guy plays Hoskins in Jurassic World and Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket. Just goes to show how amazing his acting is.
Don't forget the Kingpin in The MCU.
Don't forget Detective Goren in Law and Order Criminal Intent
@@eamonndeane587Dude, The Bug would have had a MUCH easier time wearing Wilson Fisk as a suit than Edgar. More meat means more wiggle room.
Don't forget Dawson/"Thor" in Adventures in Babysitting. Very different physique to Private Pyle.
'your proposal is, acceptable." Underrated line lol love how literally he takes it 🤣
Also love how the cows legit do NOT GAF 🤣 big explosion, weird claws coming out of the ground, "nah fam let's just keep munching this 'ere grass!" 🤣
He takes it even more literally in the comic version. He comes back at least once a day to see if Edgar is dead and cold, and then leaves when he finds the farmer still alive. The cycle keeps repeating for a long time.
Yes😂
@@nathanfish1998 There's an original comic?
@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 yes, there is. The movie was based on it.
That said, it's a loose adaptation, and they would fight more than aliens. They basically handle any situation that's abnormal
People don't seem to appreciate enough what a spectacular job the makeup guys did on "Edgar" throughout the movie, how they made it look like his skin was just barely on and throughout the movie, decaying.
IKR. It is just visceral. It surprises me even nowadays. Practical effects are truly good.
When I saw this as a kid, I thought it was a different actor playing the bug version of Edgar, not realizing it was the same guy playing him the whole time. Vincent D'Onofrio is one hell of an actor. And you gotta love the magic of makeup. And very worthy of the Oscar that Rick Baker won for it.
I am glad that the alien decided to keep Edgar's shotgun even though he had his stinging tail with him as his own weapon. Glad that the alien was completely trying to blending in with humans and using human weapons instead of his body part weapons.
yeah well if u wanna blend in with us Americans, u gotta have a firearm w ya. otherwise ur pretty sussy
He was just trying to be as American as possible, hell yeah brother
0:42 He should have said "THIS IS MY RIFLE! THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE!"
Now he really looks like a modern art masterpiece.

...and MOOS "how does it feel asshole? Not so great being killed for your flesh and skin is it?"
Why didn't the so called nasty creature grab the cow instead of edgar?
@@cockroosta6480 I would say because either he could assimilate better in a human's skin, or he never planned to assimilate and it was just an available opportunity once Edgar threatened him. Although in reality he probably planned to use the skin of the first person he killed in order to assimilate - it just so happened Edgar was the first person he met.
Wow, you watched it too?
i really hope that's in the script
I love that little sloshing noise Edgar makes when he turns to look in the mirror.

The audio is still pretty terrifying to think how it went down .
Yeah, especially when it goes from ripping to pouring/squishing.
0:53
To me the final scream is the most horrifying one, because it sounds.....sharper than the other two. That sort of implies that Edgar was still alive AFTER he'd been completely skinned, which is perfectly possible, considering how quickly it was accomplished.
Spoiler - The Bug is actually a Bannerman of House Bolton 😉
@@kadejito1 oh yeah.
I'd be interested in seeing people's different interpretations of what happened or what they intended or if the sound guys just kinda filled time.
I always found this scene so messed up as a kid!! (Just the fact that you hear Edgar's skin getting peeled off of him while he's alive, screaming and then swallowed whole is just so messed up when you think about it!!)
Whenever I re-watch this movie, I always get a knot in my stomach when this scene begins, but I'm always laughing by the end of it when Edgar stretches his face out and makes Beatrice faint, LOL!!
There. Is that better?
Is that physically possible? How can you peel not skin parts like hair, teeth, eyeballs, nails, toenails?
@@fernandopizarrovillagarcia6992 I can ask the same question to every alien in MiB when they assume and take off their human disguises that looks so real
It's pitch perfect horror comedy
And on top of that after eating the skinless body of that man, the bug compressed itself to fit the skin, meaning the human inside it must have been crushed in a instant.
The way movie didnt show how the bug rips his skin is fuckin terrifying, your imagination goes wild with the sounds...this movie was quality...
Sounds don't really match how quickly the alien supposedly killed and flayed the farmer.
Why didn’t they show us that?

My favorite has always been “the only thing that pulls it’s weight around here is my god damn truck” and then it gets destroyed. “Figures”.
Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) - even ‘OMG’? One more: Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust?
Well I’m not judging you - but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer-at-heart; that’s how seriously God takes sin. He is Holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that H e is perfect in justice - and if He were to judge you by the moral law (we’ve already looked at 4 commandments) would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is hell - the wrath of God upon you for your sin. Is that concerning?
But fortunately, God’s will is not that you perish. He wants all men everywhere to be saved. So do you know what He did for us guilty sinners? In self-giving mercy, He sent His Son Jesus Christ. He lived the perfect life that we should have lived - tempted at all points and yet He NEVER sinned. Through His life, being in very nature God, He revealed God to men; but we in our hatred condemned Him to death. On that cross as Jesus suffered, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in our place; receiving God’s wrath. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us.
On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead - conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. He then ascended to the right hand of God the Father (where He came from) now Lord of the living and the dead. God has fixed a date when He will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent (In humility, acknowledge your sin before God and turn to a relationship with Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross; and God will grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then be baptised.
When you place your trust in Jesus - the Lord and Saviour - these things will happen:
1) God will forgive the sins that you have committed; they were paid for by Jesus at the cross.
2) The perfect life that Jesus lived will be credited to you. He will find you holy and blameless on judgement day (and now), as Christ’s righteousness covers you.
3) You receive a place in Christ’s kingdom as an adopted child of God. God becomes your Father. Eternal life isn’t just about living forever, but a personal relationship with God Himself. That life can start now; The Father will reveal Himself to you if you seek Him.
4) God doesn’t just save you from the penalty of your sin (Hell). He can save you from the power of sin itself. Whoever practices sin is a slave of sin; but when you repent and believe the gospel [WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED] the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in you and sanctify you (working in you to further abandon sin and turn to the will of God). When the end of the age comes, and eternity begins, this work will be brought to completion as you are finally freed from the presence of sin.
Jesus offers to take away your sin and to give you His righteousness; you must receive it by faith. Choose this day if you will align with the world, or with Jesus and His kingdom - only His is eternal.
ROMANS 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
That part always makes me laugh! 😂
@Adam Scott Adam Considering that atheism leaves you with the scientific and logical impossibility that nothing created everything, it would be unwise to reject God.

0:54 Huh. You can actually see the bug.
This is the sort of comedy writing that is sadly very rare in modern media, subtle and witty! No stupid quips, no unessesary pauses, just good old fashioned absurdist presentation and masterful use of timing. It relies on the fact that it doesn't blare out the obvious, and treats the audience with respect, and not holding their hand and *telling* them what's supposed to be funny, but actually relying on them to appreciate the humour on their own merit.
2:03 the way he laughed
he was so scary when i was a kid
Same, this massive bug thing gave me big nightmares as a kid. That, Gogo Yubari from kill bill and Freddy krueger, very very nasty villains and you the actors do a pretty damn good job when they portray em that way
It honestly still makes me feel a bit sick, especially just watching the scene by itself without the rest of the movie to take the edge off of it. And I love horror movies as well. Kay got lucky that he wasn't eaten this way.
Who else thinks Vincent did a fantastic job acting as an alien in a human disguise?

He was bad, there’s no dignity here whatsoever. He didn’t kill her simply because she wasn’t a threat to him. He probably would’ve killed her had she not fainted. But since she did, it ensured that she was out of his way, meaning one less problem for him to deal with.

This has always been the absolute weirdest concept in any film ever imo. The grotesque and bizarre nature of a huge alien bug condensing itself inside the disguise of human skin always gave me the chills and made me queasy every time I thought about it as a kid.
That being said, to this day I am still astounded by Vincent’s incredible acting, voice, and makeup to create the freaky image of an alien moving around in a man’s skin. I have often forgotten that it is Vincent because he just completely disappears in this gross, freaky role that is like no other in all of film.
Lesson from the scene: Don't give an alien any ideas that might include violence or use of lethal force.
Also, Don't use the Lord's name in vain
Holy crap! So, the line is “place projectile weapon on the ground?”
My whole life, I thought he said “Please, put your entire weapon on the ground.”
When i saw this back in 98 in tv i thought he said police put you projectile weapon on the ground
I always thought he said "Put your futile weapon on the ground."
Fun fact:
In the Russian voiceover of this film, this word was translated exactly as "Please" :D

0:59-1:00 the sound of his skin being ripped and the last agonising scream before Edgar died... So disturbing without seeing what's happening.
This scene made the whole movie.
Bug Edgar is one of the best parts of this movie. Him stumbling around as a sinister alien in an ill-fitting suit that's slowly decomposing is so hilarious and creepy.
The cow stole the scene 🤣
The writing in this movie is strong, with the flow in comedy timing. We also get 3 sides story, an engaging plot, and world-building within the first 15 minutes of the movie.
The movies nowadays lost all of this, some movie takes about an hour just to establish a plot, struggling to give us a weak plot-twisting experience(Which people think it's a must in a story). It's like today writers don't know what is essential in storytelling anymore...
I say music got worse more then movies got worse, but ya cant beat the classics
Men in Black was basically the only big budget summer blockbuster released in 1997 that was actually very good. The other blockbusters that year had exactly the same kind of writing problems that you complain about in Films These Days, and some of them were much, much worse than cookie-cutter MCU films.
@@Talisguy yeah men in black is exceptional
@@ShreeNation um this was pretty big budget at that time
“Contact” was another amazing sci fi summer movie from that year. It’s true there was a lot of crap in theaters back then too, but there was the occasional gem like MiB which was an instant classic. Nowadays we don’t even get classics :(
What a great performance from Vincent. He makes half of this movie.

1:21 crunch sound
0:42 Alien Cockroach: place projectile weapon on the ground
Edgar: you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead fingers
Alien Cockroach: your proposal is acceptable
Well he did say it 😏
What’s up his voice?
I love how the cow is just standing there. If the cow could talk, It would say "not my business."
I always found it weird that the bug was so adamant about destroying humanity, yet had a soft spot for insects. Didn't he realize that by destroying the Earth trillions more insects and other arthropods would die than humans would?
I’m sure they would’ve evacuated all the bugs.
His mission wasn't Earth, he was looking for the galaxy that the Arquillians were protecting on the planet so his species could feed on it. He just grew to hate Earth along the way while he pretended to be a human. He welcomed the idea of war with the planet because it simply meant more food for his family.
I don't think he necessarily cared about the lives of bugs. "Edgar" just seemed to dislike other species stepping on his "kind". K implies that the bug aliens have an extreme inferiority complex, and as we see they're extremely violent.
So humans and other species stepping on bugs and mistreating his kind is just a reminder to "Edgar" of how other aliens look down on him and his species.
Occasionally he's got roaches coming out of his sleeves so I assumed the bug was gonna take some with him when he leaves.(after killing their prince and guardian, he probably knew the Arquillians were gonna do something about it and his time to was limited so he can't bring every roach on earth with him, just gather up anyone who's around, grab the galaxy and blow before the Earth does)
I think the bugs are more like distant cousins to him. Like us with monkeys
Wow Edgar really loves his rifle. Just like D’Onfrio’s other character in Full Metal Jacket.
Edgar has a pump shotgun, not a rifle. You get a 'C-' for the day.
@@MountainFisher Yeah but at least he didn't blow his own head off again...
I have to say the bug is one of the most unique characters in any movie and D’Onofrio‘s performance is a hysterical.
What strength does it take to literally empty an adult man of all his organs and bones and then wear his skin as a suit? Besides having a nice insight into human anatomy (I don't want to imagine where he started from...).
Considering how strong insects are (e.g ants being able to lift 50 times their weight) I assume a 12 foot bug would be enormously strong
@@celljr6374 Yeah but it’s an alien bug. If on his homeworld the gravity is lower than Earth’s, then logically he would have less mass and collapse under his own gravitational field, unless he offsets his weight with tremendous strength. Also, he likely ate all of the insides from the body after skinning him, since blattoid insects are very voracious and not so picky when it comes to food.
@@amansdreamwillneverdie708 well since it's an "Alien bug" perhaps those rules dont apply
Based on how the skin kinda has a seam when he's tearing it off at the end, I'd say he slit open Edgar down the back and sucked him out of it.
@@ryanfoster2869 Makes sense. A cockroach can bite with a force 50 times its body weight and they eat by sucking out the insides of their preys.

Lol, I love how the cow was just watching the whole thing like: "WHOO HOOO! NOT ME!"😂
I like how most people say how amazing it is for the Bug to fit inside such a small space, but I always found the strength of Edgar's skin to be even more impressive to last as long as it did.
i loved the attention to detail. he wore the skin as a suit, therefore, the skin deteriorated over the course of the movie until it just looked like a corpse

This is the same guy from Full Metal Jacket: Private Pyle.
He should have won an Oscar for this role
The makeup on the neck rolls and the way the skin doesn't quite fit is fantastic.
Its a subtle effect that isn't overly done at first.....then of course the skin suit decomposes more as the movie goes on.
subtle attention to detail I noticed: at 2:30 when Edgar pulls his skin back on his face, the silhouette underneath doesn't look like a normal skull and somewhat reveals the shape of the roach head underneath, but sunken in
You can see the cockroach mandibles
I love how Edgar reaches for the door handle on the wrong side before he re-enters the house 😂
The lady who played his wife was funny too lol, without even trying.
His acting was so profound even after 20+ years I can't get rid of this character when ever I see him his skin kind looks loss to me and remind me of this scene
The cow watching the whole thing like " just another day on the farm."
2:24 I love the sound effect here idk if it’s because of the water in his system but it’s kind of pleasing to hear lol
"Your proposal is acceptable" such a chilling line, Edgar should have chosen his last words more carefully
