Before MIB 3, K knowing about J's teacher as quickly as he did could be chalked up to a background check.

"Human thought is so primitive that its looked upon as an infectious disease in some of the better Galaxies. That kinda makes you proud doesn't it." It sure does.

2:59 Holy shit! I never realized that George Lucas(middle row, far right) was actually an alien! All of a sudden the line "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." makes so much sense. George Lucas is an alien(maybe even a human one) who came from a galaxy far, far away and _Star Wars_ could actually be a true be story or is based on actual events. After Lucas came to Earth he decided to become a filmmaker so he could share the story of his home galaxy to everyone without us ever realizing that it's actually a piece of history XD!
Here's a little thing that always bugged me: Why the hell are the unprocessed alien visitors fed through headquarters right next to the giant screen that has all of MIB's secrets on it? And the director's office is a floating glass room that anyone can easily look through and watch, which would be an especially big security risk with aliens that have better sight than us. And the weapons lockers are right there, too! Like... Everything about that room's design bothers me. But damn is it iconic.
@@doornik1142 that... is also hilarious. Though I'll say that the film alludes to the idea that there are other ways into HQ. Remember near the end of the movie, when Kay comes in from the back of the giant room, telling the dude walking by to put up a perimeter around the island, seems like he walked in from outside. Also, with so many aliens in the HQ, there's no way that the seemingly totally deserted building on Battery Drive is how they get in and out. I always assumed there were other exits we never got to see.
@@Qermaq ...Yup, it's a movie. I know that it doesn't actually matter. That isn't the point. When we ask questions like this, we're engaging with the work and with eachother on a level deeper than the surface. We're enjoying the work in more and different ways. If I didn't love and care about the movie and the world it creates, I wouldn't be trying to engage with it. The "it's just a story" statement sucks, because it's a statement of finality that discourages further engagement. It says "here is the answer, none of it matters, end of discussion" and leaves it at that. That's not fun!

Nah. Neo required more seriousness, and Will is to much a comedian. Beside I watched Wild Wild West several times and it's still great steampunk comedy in my opinion.
I've watched this film multiple times over the years and only just now I notice that J's 3rd grade teacher is located in Philadelphia. Most likely a nod to the opening Lyrics from Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Something that took me years to realice, K had memorized J's 3rd grade teachers name despite having only "met him like day before", proving that K has in fact been looking out for J his whole life and was just waiting to recruit him

I’ve seen this movies so many times as a kid, but upon watching it as an adult, I only now realize the ramifications of J’s decision of choosing to enroll into the MIB. I mean, the guy literally had every single piece of personal information erased from existence. His social security, drivers license, passport, even his own name, everything that made him a person is now just…gone. Even his fingerprints have been burnt off. I know he understands that it’s necessary, and he’s devoting himself to a cause that’s bigger than himself, I’m just saying I could never make a decision that requires me to let go of every single piece of who I am in pursuit of a goal that is higher than myself

“Whatever you say, Slick.” This is my favorite one liner of the movie.
"Meet the twins ů⁹œəķğýë and Bob"
I never got this joke until now 😂😂
The way he says accident always cracks me up 😂😂😂
2:50 WoOodaQUiaang and Bob
I'm Czech, so there are many jokes that escaped me in the Czech dub.
The way Zed dodges that...like its another day in the office for him...lol.
4:04 they also cancelled his gym membership😭
They have their own gym. Mentioned in MIB 2.
Finally my gold's gym membership has been canceled.
They most likely have something much better than that gym.
“Just move when it’s coming at you” 🤣
All the aliens look cool… wish the lore of this franchise would’ve continued as a comic book series or as a Netflix show
It's based off a comic book series I believe which led to the animated series
Yeah, if you're a 90s kid we had the cartoons and video games growing up. Pretty sure there is a comic but, not sure which came first.
It's got a show and books.
The animated series is absolutely fantastic. Very serious.
It's even considered a continuation of the series. For example, if you want more J&K, the cartoon series gives you pretty much everything you need.
Bro Tommy Lee has that perfect confidence
"Whatever you say slick." is such a clever line. There a lot of those in this.
I think it’s kind of gross
Teaming Smith and Jones up was a masterstroke of casting. Straight guy to the comic hero. Modern-day Abbott and Costello.
"This thing caused the 1977 New York Blackout. Practical joke by The Great Attractor. He thought it was funny as hell."
Also check out the nod to Fresh Prince of Bel Air at 3:29 with Miss Edelson's location.
"West Philadelphia, born and raised.."
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool,
And all shootin' some B-ball outside of the school.

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
2:10 “ just move when it’s coming at you “ 😂😂
3:04 there's an agent in the background who is randomly upside down 😂
"This caused the 1977 New York blackout. A practical joke by the great attractor. He thought it was funny as hell."
Cracks me up every time.
The Great Attractor is a real thing, by the way. It's pulling the Milky Way towards it. Nice little astronomy reference there.
Proof CGI today is terrible.
The twins names gets me every time 😂
2:34
“This thing caused the 1977 New York blackout. Practical joke by the Great Attractor. He thought it was funny as hell.”
😂
"It'll replace cd's soon."
*Laughs in digital streaming*
TF Card.
Its really hard to accurately predict the future until it finally becomes the present.
Funny until you realize that greedy corporations ruined everything... I rather want to have my own physical copy.
Will Smith had a brilliant career as a science fiction action hero, then he chose Wild Wild West over The Matrix.
Nah. Neo required more seriousness, and Will is to much a comedian. Beside I watched Wild Wild West several times and it's still great steampunk comedy in my opinion.
Wild Wild West is such an underrated film of Smiths.
"now put it on, the last suit you'll ever wear....again" 🤭 MIB is a masterpiece, MIB II also had it moments 😎
And the third movie was better than the second
4:32 -- "Silence, your native tongue".
J: "Ima pretend I didn't hear that".
The "Damn!" always makes me laugh
2:50 The way “Bob” looks back at J is kinda cute
I always thought it was kind of cute how Bob looks at J after he's introduced.
And then J waves at him.
I've watched this film multiple times over the years and only just now I notice that J's 3rd grade teacher is located in Philadelphia.
Most likely a nod to the opening Lyrics from Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Well, that and Will Smith actually grew up in Philly
Ah now that I didn't know about 😅
Still one of the funniest scenes in the series tho 🤣
Man I need to watch this movie again so many jokes I missed as a kid.
Will comes in wearing the most 90s outfit ever.
It was some clothes left from the wardrobe for The fresh prince of Bel Aire
MIB is just the alien TSA
I love how they call the 'Great Attractor' a person
I always knew "God" was just a troll with a sick sense of humor.
"You know what the difference is between you and me? I make this look good."
"Pffft, maybe when you can tie a proper windsor knot slick"
On the french dub, the line is slightly different :
"You know what the difference is between you and me? On me, it's class(y) !"
@@Zekium in latin american spanish he says, "You know the difference between you and me? I look good in black"
oh I love both of those. But If I had to choose one, definitely the latin american spanish. I could see Smith delivering that line with soul
Dr. Strange tied a half Winsor. 😠
I forgot how good this movie is.
I sure as hell don't EVER want to sit in a waiting room with a big-ass circle-shaped diffuser/grill like that at the beginning.
Something that took me years to realice, K had memorized J's 3rd grade teachers name despite having only "met him like day before", proving that K has in fact been looking out for J his whole life and was just waiting to recruit him
2:43 When you and your friends are playing a game online and you’re the one who messed up the whole entire mission/quest…
So Stallone, Spielberg, George Lucas, Al Roker, and Danny Devito are the ones I recognize on the screen.
Holy shit George Lucas
that explains everything
@@tlshortyshorty5810 star wars was a documentary not a movie hehe
Top mid is Tony Robbins.
I remember going to the theater in Plantation Florida seeing men in black in 1997 and wearing a Randall Cunningham jersey representing will smith whose from Philly
The 20 seconds while the ball flys around is better than anything that's been put on the silver screen in over a decade.
You're saying, that ball bouncing around the mib head quarters for 20 seconds is BETTER than the departed? The entire mcu? Hacksaw ridge? The dark knight? Inception? Interstellar? Cabin in the woods? avatar? Every Denzel Washington movie the past 20 years!
ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH!?
@@elloowu6293 well if they are high that's some good shit they be smoking lol
@@elloowu6293 That's exactly what I am saying.
@@elloowu6293 The entire MCU for sure. There's a level of kineticism in the ball scene that captures the sense of fun movies can produce, which is something missing from all those movies you mentioned except Avatar.
That scene always had me dying laughing, ever since I was a kid
1:42 Oh yes, how to forget when flash drives were flat and round.
Ah yes, the dynamic duo BLWWIGBLEEGH and Bob
The best sci-fi duo ever : Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith
I love the error when he is putting the suit on you see him tuck the glasses into an external pocket on the jacket but the suits have not pockets like that you always see them reach inside the jacket for the glasses.
can we talk that they low key took the speaker of the house, then Newt G., and made him an alien?
That scarily explains a few things.
I like that quote, "You know what the difference is between you & me? I make this look good." I would wear that on a shirt. Will looks the same these days as he did back then. He never seems to age.
He spoke truth, he did make it look good.
3:33 Hah, "Breath: Toxic". If that defines an alien, half of my teachers were one too.
I’ve seen this movies so many times as a kid, but upon watching it as an adult, I only now realize the ramifications of J’s decision of choosing to enroll into the MIB. I mean, the guy literally had every single piece of personal information erased from existence. His social security, drivers license, passport, even his own name, everything that made him a person is now just…gone. Even his fingerprints have been burnt off. I know he understands that it’s necessary, and he’s devoting himself to a cause that’s bigger than himself, I’m just saying I could never make a decision that requires me to let go of every single piece of who I am in pursuit of a goal that is higher than myself
It's called devotion and commitment. Lol
"What's up pops!"😂😂
The fact K knew J 3rd grade teacher's name was just one of many instances where you know he's been watching him his whole life
Will Smith 🖤

3:07 anyone else ever notice the dude thats upside down? i didnt until now
Its 2022...this is how i would like to remember Will Smith
I always wondered what J’s coworkers at the police station thought happened to him. He just up and didn’t come back one day. I’m sure he had some friends or distant relatives who could confirm that he existed or was missing.
Maybe they explained this but it’s been so long since I’ve seen the movie.
they probably got flashy thinged
@@ShuuichiNitori yep. It's probable that everyone who knew J got neuralized.
@@forsagebone or thought he was dead
most likely they got flashed
Theres a scene in the mib animated series where he bumps into some former colleagues and they recognized him. I can't recall how he handled it though
いい映画はいつ観ても色褪せない
They made Stallone an alien lol😂. I love it!
Agent Z being so calm shows heavy experience
Will Smith is one of my all time favorite actors!
Here's to Will Smith FINALLY getting his fucking Oscar 🏆🍸
(It's about time.)
Funniest part is they spend all three movies calling J every nickname he DIDN’T list in this scene! Priceless! 😂
