    • Trivia
      The 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.
    • Goofs
      When 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 credits
      The "torch lady" in the Columbia Pictures logo flashes her torch like a neuralyzer device.
    • Alternate versions
      Scenes shown in TV spots included two extra scenes in the deneuralizer room (one of K and J at the door and another with K in the chair, both with Jones in the mailman's uniform), and a version of the clothes change montage featuring K's mailman uniform.

    Not near as good as the first one
    Tommy Lee Jones & Will Smith give great performances, but it is not enough to grasp the attention of its audience as it fails to garner the touch from its predecessor. Men in Black II lacks the originality and goes excessively in too deep on its already familiar settlement.
