Add something

Visible crew/equipment: When Jay enters the tent in which the small alien craft had landed we can clearly see the camera man in the golden reflection. This happens twice. (00:25:00)

Visible crew/equipment: When Serleena is at MIB headquarters to give her credentials, the dolly shot shows an aquarium with an alien in it on which a boom operator and a crew member walking are reflected. (00:34:04)

Visible crew/equipment: When Serleena kicks Z and sends him flying, the person flying and doing all the flips and jumps for all the scene is a very obvious stunt: Thinner built, much younger and with longer hair. (00:46:25)

Sacha ★

Visible crew/equipment: When Agent Kay is in the elevator with the little worm dudes he swings down and starts shooting at the robot. When he swings down you can see the safety harness between his legs. (01:02:50)

Visible crew/equipment: When K and J talk to Newton, a lighting screen is reflected in his glasses.

Video

Visible crew/equipment: When Jay is addressing the civilians in the small section of the subway car that is left after Jeff ate the rest, green screens are reflected in Will Smith's sunglasses before he neuralizes them.

Mistakes

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. (01:02:05)

Suggested correction: The building is in lockdown so it is no surprise that the lift is changed to a less flamboyant version. Even in the first scene, there are some doors there.

Quotes

Agent Jay: 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.

Questions

Question: I never understood the two people on the bikes, you know the people with all the stars. What are they suppose to represent?

Answer: They are extraterrestrials, the fact they are weird gives it away to K now he has been deneuralized. He started to notice them again as his mind is rebooting.

lionhead

Answer: They don't represent anything. Barry Sonnenfeld says in the commentary that he simply likes to use that cycling couple as he thinks that it is a cool visual.

Garlonuss ★

Answer: And apparently they are a couple who actually live in that area of New York. So they may be familiar to some who see them in the movie.
