Quotes

Agent J: Could I have your attention, please? [Neuralyzes the crowd.] Thank you for participating in our drill. Had this been an actual emergency, y'all would have been *eaten*. 'Cause you don't listen! You're ignorant! How's a man gonna come crashin' through the back of a subway win - that's the problem with all y'all New Yorkers! "Oh no, we've seen it all!" "Oh no, a 600 foot worm, save us Mr. black man!" I ask you nicely to move forward to the next car, y'all just sit there like... [Neuralyzes the crowd again.] The City of New York would like to thank you for participating in our drill. Hopefully you enjoyed our smaller, more energy-efficient subway cars. Watch your step, you all have a nice evening.

Serleena surrounds Z with her vines and he falls down, face and shoulders perpendicular to Serleena's body. When the angle changes he has turned around 90º, but when she kicks him, he has magically turned another 90º to allow for her to kick him in the groin. See more...

Factual error: The opening of the film says it takes place in July 2002, but when we first see Will Smith you can see the World Trade Center in the background which had been destroyed ten months before. I know they made the film before the terrorist attack but mentioning the specific date makes it a mistake.

Continuity: In the opening scene when Sarleena takes the Vic Secret model's appearance the tenticles are just completing her face when the guy grabs her. He had to have seen the tenticles "building" her as he was walking up to her.

Continuity: In the scene where Jay and Kay are talking in the mail truck, there is clear blue sky over the left shoulder of Jay. The camera turns to Kay for him to speak and when it goes back to Jay the sky over his left shoulder is cloudy.

Trivia: There are two different versions of the scene where Jay and Kevin/Kay first enter the deneuralyzer: one with Kevin in his civilian post-office uniform (seen in the trailer) and one with Kevin in his old MIB suit (seen in the film).

Continuity: When Jay and Kay make their visit to Jeebs, Jay is talking to Jeebs and you see Jeebs making a statement about how his business is 'banging' and when he see Kay walk in, he points both his hands at him. The camera angle changes and Jeebes is now seen with only one hand pointing at Kay.

Continuity: After Jay and Kay go to see Jeebs about the deneuralizer, Kay leaves and the bad aliens come crashing through the walls. Jay shoots Jeebs head off and, as it's growing back, he says he got shot "right in the pie-hole" (mouth). However he was facing away from Jay when he was shot and it was above the mouth area.

Continuity: In the scene at the lockers in Grand Central Station, Agent Kay takes his watch, an illuminated Hamilton digital, back from the little animals living there. In one shot, Agent Jay puts an analogue watch in the locker as a replacement, but in the next shot it is the same old Hamilton digital owned by Agent Jay. (This is mentioned in the DVD Audio Comentary with Barry Sonnefeld.)

Deliberate "mistake": When MIB agents exit the lift to get into the main hall of the MIB Office, the lift opens halfway up the wall and they need to go down a little platform. But when K and J return during the lockdown and face the trashcan with guns, the lift opens at floor level, so it can be conveniently peppered with bullets.

Continuity: When Agents Jay and Kay are in the elevator avoiding the garbage can robot who is shooting at them, watch their hands - they move from the wall to the roof ledge for support as the camera angle changes.

Deliberate "mistake": When the trashcan opens fire on the lift with Jay & Kay in, the distance and angles mean it would, at most, be able to hit up to the edges of the rear doors. When the inside of the lift is shown, the bullets have somehow managed to reach right to the edges of the lift.

Continuity: When Agent Kay empties his guns shooting at the trashcan robot in the elevator, he throws down his guns and swings back to the roof of the elevator. When the robot moves into the elevator, the guns are nowhere to be seen.
