That's why he knew right away about J's elementary teacher.

It's playing off real life. Many of our modern inventions originated from NASA and the space program. Velcro, memory foam, the modern radial tire and graphite lubricant were invented, funded or first adopted by us aerospace.
velcro is actually a pretty advanced technology. You need to make thousands and thousands of tiny, precise, and aligned hooks structures. All technologies mentioned come from space exploration and would not exist without it.
Many technologies we take for granted today would have been seen as magic or impossible 50 to 100 years ago, which is only 1-2 human lifespans. The stuff we do in 50-100 years time will seem absurd and impossible today.

There is one thing I have noticed Agent K called Him Slick in MIB 1 Despite loosing his memory in MIB 2 he still calls him Slick In MIB 3 the younger Agent K still calls him Slick I don’t know if anyone of y’all noticed this
There's a reason why this has aged so well. At its heart MIB isn't (or isn't just) science fiction. It is a "Comedy of Manners." Only without Victorian costumes and with just a touch of slapstick. Nearly all the comedy arises from a character found way outside his normal social setting. The contrast between his assumptions and reactions and those of the inhabitants of the new setting is what drives this film. MIB 2 & 3 forgot this ancient genre (well, 2 tries to reverse it with K). And so they are less fondly remembered.
The fact he could instantly pinpoint js teacher does imply that he watched him from the beginning/ at least early childhood ;- something that ties in pretty well into the 3rd movies plot
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
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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
The fact everyone is so casual about the flying ball thing tells me that a lot of people have done just what J did 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.
3:04 there's an agent in the background who is randomly upside down 😂
The way Zed dodges that...like its another day in the office for him...lol.
It’s a great thing that Will Smith didn’t pass on this role. No other actor would do the role of Agent J justice
“Just move when it’s coming at you” 🤣
"Meet the twins ů⁹œəķğýë and Bob"
I never got this joke until now 😂😂
MIB is just the alien TSA
"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
Teaming Smith and Jones up was a masterstroke of casting. Straight guy to the comic hero. Modern-day Abbott and Costello.
"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.
2:34
“This thing caused the 1977 New York blackout. Practical joke by the Great Attractor. He thought it was funny as hell.”
😂
"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. 😠
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 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.
Man I need to watch this movie again so many jokes I missed as a kid.
I forgot how good this movie is.
4:32 -- "Silence, your native tongue".
J: "Ima pretend I didn't hear that".
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
"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.
3:33 Hah, "Breath: Toxic". If that defines an alien, half of my teachers were one too.
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.
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.
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 🤣
The twins names gets me every time 😂
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
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…
3:07 anyone else ever notice the dude thats upside down? i didnt until now
Looks like this isn't the extended version. The twins aren't here.
Proof CGI today is terrible.
That “aw damn” after it starts breaking all the science equipment
Will comes in wearing the most 90s outfit ever.
It was some clothes left from the wardrobe for The fresh prince of Bel Aire
Ah yes, the dynamic duo BLWWIGBLEEGH and Bob
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.
They must be very busy,since they only have 26 agents work
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
Why didn't they just have the elevator come out at the bottom 🤣
I love how they call the 'Great Attractor' a person
I always knew "God" was just a troll with a sick sense of humor.
1:42 Oh yes, how to forget when flash drives were flat and round.
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.
いい映画はいつ観ても色褪せない
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.
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
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
Funniest part is they spend all three movies calling J every nickname he DIDN’T list in this scene! Priceless! 😂
When the director aka zed dodges that ball I was like damn he good. He is like "Everytime"
2:10 “ just move when it’s coming at you “ 😂😂
“I don’t wanna anyone calling me son or kid or sport…”
“Whatever you say slick” 😂
I mean it wasn’t one of those so fair play?
The "Damn!" always makes me laugh
3:20 K knew exactly who J was talking bout. MIB 3 foreshadowing
3:20 is of them deleting J's records after J erased his fingerprints...
An elevator that takes you to... another tiny elevator, for dramatic effect haha
