Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original pug from Men in Black (1997) was used to play Frank again, but since the pug was now seven years older, they used makeup to hide the gray fur around its nose.
- GoofsWhen Agent K removes his digital Hamilton from the clock tower in the Grand Central Station locker, Agent J replaces it with the new Hamilton Ventura Chronograph. The next shot shows K's digital Hamilton back in the spot, replaced again by J's analog in the shots that follow.
- Quotes
[about the driver-shaped airbag]
Kevin Brown/K: Does that come standard?
Agent J: Actually it came with a black dude, but he kept getting pulled over.
- Crazy creditsThe "torch lady" in the Columbia Pictures logo flashes her torch like a neuralyzer device.
- Alternate versionsThere exists an alternate death scene of Serleena that seemingly was filmed but was never released on any home media, outside of an official Men In Black 2 picture book adaptation. The scene in question had Serleena giving Scrad a 'proton detonator' to destroy the MIB Headquarters, only for him to later show up and use it to destroy the Serleena, who had merged with Jeff The Worm.

Featured review
Men in Black II (2002)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Boring and bland sequel has Earth coming under attack from a dangerous alien (Lara Flynn Boyle) so Agent Jay (Will Smith) must bring Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) out of retirement. I really wasn't sure what to expect out of this sequel but the very, very, very last thing I did expect was something boring. I must admit that I was really shocked to see how bland and downright bad this movie was as sadly it's yet another example of a sequel to a good movie being about nothing more than money. The original film was smart, clever and funny in regards to the subject matter but this sequel just lacks any sort of originality and it's really nothing more than a copy of the original. What's so sad is that there could have been so many good and interesting story ideas but sadly we're just given a copy of the first film and we even get many of the same jokes. It's funny to think that the jokes worked so well the first time but here they're just annoying and unfunny. I think the majority of the blame has to go towards the screenplay, which is just a mess. It's never funny, never makes too much sense and sadly it's clear that very little went into it. The performances outside of Tommy Lee Jones really aren't all that memorable either. Lara Flynn Boyle has no problems looking sexy but her character is bland. Rip Torn isn't given much to do and the same is true for Johnny Knoxville and Rosario Dawson. The incredibly bad love story with Dawson is just an embarrassment. MEN IN BLACK II even features some very poor CGI effects and in the end this is just a rather worthless movie that isn't worth the trouble.
