My favorite thing about this movie is how like 90% of it was ad-libbed. Neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones were impressed with the dialogue as scripted, so they just started improvising on every take, and they had such strong comedic chemistry with each other that Barry Sonnenfeld decided to keep it all 😆
My favourite was the fun idea for poster....as is well known the 2 most common names on usa phonebooks are Smith and Jones therefore are often picked as aliases. Poster showed Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones and had the caption Agents Smith and Jones.
had no idea 🤯🤯 just went down a rabbit hole of articles discussing it. i mean that makes sense since its so good but i just gave most credit to the screenwriter. i assumed there was adlibing here and there as with most comedies but it being mostly that is eye opening
5:39 Okay, the guy's eyes in the movie, I was prepared for. But when your editor did it to you, I was taken aback for a split moment. :D ...Or you just exposed yourself of being an alien. XD
2:21 I've seen this movie a dozen times and I've never noticed that... The alien is the only one who didn't look at the driver when the driver spoke Spanish because the alien doesn't know Spanish lol. They let us know who the impostor was right away.
The way Ange was grossed out by the eyelids which lasted for a split second versus Vincent D'onofrio being skinned clean where she just smiled all the way through XD
@Vulcanerd Modern media and Hollywood sensationalism has desensitized the public so much.... We hardly bat an eye at the weird or grotesque stuff anymore! 😲
Can't be. *_1)_* The movie was made in 1997 *_2)_* In Men In Black 2, it says it's 2002 at the beginning, *_and then later_* Jay says: "You been out 5 years, and that's a long time", implying the first movie took place in 1997 in universe also.
@@Alysa-Aiday That being said government buildings are normally very slow to update what they know works. If it ain't broke, don't fix it is a pretty common approach to these things in those places.
Hot Take: Vincent D’Onofrio as Edgar is as interesting a take on a villain as Heath Ledger as The Joker… there both so different, interesting, and unlike other performances I’ve seen before
Not on the same level as the Joker at all imo but you know what actually might be... his role in the movie the Cell, which unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on perspective) will forever be relegated to the realm of little known cult classics, which is why practically no one knows about it.
@@HelloSadness101I actually agree with them. I think Heath’s performance while legendary is a tad overrated because of the circumstances. I also think VDO is underrated
I hope you continue with the series. Even the third that you've seen long ago. It really becomes a reward of a story after having seen the other films.
🎶 Just bounce with me. Just bounce with me. Come on. Let me see ya just slide with me. Just slide with me. Come on. Let me see ya take a walk with me. Just walkin' with me. Come on. Make ya neck work. 🎶
By all means, watch the others. For unrelated SciFi/Action, Pacific Rim is a must. It has action, heart, drama and humor, it's effectively a live action anime.
Fun fact. The guy that played young K in MMBN3 was *thrilled* when he was offered the role. See the producers didn't know that MMBN 1 was his favorite movie, that he's seen over 40 times. He went on to say that portraying K in the third film was 'barely acting' because K was his favorite character and he'd already done it in his head hundreds of times.
Vincent D'Onofrio should have received an Oscar for his physical performance in this. I 100% believe without question that he is a giant cockroach uncomfortably stuffed into a skin suit too small for him.
It feels pure nostalgia to see this movie shine in this era and brings so hype if you continue this Men In Black Journey 😄 also I like to share that after this movie dropped, there is a Animated Series based on the movie timeline but it set i believe sometime as a mini prequel story with Agent J doing his parts with Agent K before his leaving the force. I hope you give a series a watch if possible.
I love the music video for this movie. Which so happens to include "Mikey". My favorite line IN the movie is: "This definitely rates about a 9.0 on my weird shit-o-meter."
Here’s some great recommendations: 1917, Extraction 1 and 2, Ghostbusters, Game Night, anything from the DCEU, Star Trek, Narnia, The Raid Films, Mad Max, Alita Battle Angel, James Bond, Alien 1 and 2, Terminator 1 and 2, Beverly Hills Cop, The Italian Job 1969, Pacific Rim, Godzilla, The Nice Guys, Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokemon Detective Pikachu, Fantastic Mr Fox, Chicken Run, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, The Mask, The Pink Panther series (starring Peter Sellers), Beetlejuice, Tropic Thunder, etc (more to follow).
Reynauds sufferers unite! All the men on my moms side of the family inherited it, I have it worse in my hands than my feet, it's almost a super power being so sensitive to heat tbh.
Not many people enjoyed the second one but I love them all! The first is *easily* the best of the 3 but they're all wonderful! Would love to see you react to them all!
LETS GOOOOO!!!! I've been waiting for you to watch Men in Black for a while now! Please do the 2nd and 3rd one! Don't watch MIB International tho, that one's garbage.
I'd actually recommend that you check out the 1997 animated series that came after. Airing on the Kids WB, it's actually was pretty well written series and represented the source material much more faithfully, taking even some dark routes, but also sees J and K being humorous like in the movie. It actually expands on ideas that the 1997 movie left out. Like Agent L deciding on to going back to the morgue, but choosing to stay on. Also, remember this scene where K shows James those pictures, and this is revealed (12:21 - 12:50)? They did an episode on that too. Seriously, I'd recommend you check it out. Way more than checking out the 2nd or 4th movies, which I'd kindly would use a Neuralyzer to forget they existed.
if you think the NJ turnpike is crazy, you haven't really driven anywhere. it's one of the easiest roads to use. Straight, many lanes, lanes for trucks to keep them off the car lanes, runs from deleware all the way to new york. Police actually patrol the road, disabled vehicle morons get pushed off the road with police bumper cars. City main highways are 1000% worst. Try driving on 95 through virginia, maryland widing around city beltways. Believe me, NJ turnpike is heaven compared to most highways and turnpikes.
*”A person is smart, people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. 1500 years ago everyone KNEW the Earth was the center of the universe, 500 years ago everyone KNEW the Earth was flat, and 15 minutes ago you knew people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you will KNOW tomorrow.”* That speech is one of the cornerstones of what made me as a person. Always keep an open mind, and remember that the general public a mostly stupid and frightful animals.
I agree it's good speech. Some people thought they knew the earth was flat 500 years ago. But FYI, the ancient Greeks knew the world was round 3000 years ago and knew it's circumference within a few meters of what we know it to be today.
@@mikegoodwin2386 Yea that's the thing that I hear wrong constantly is the misconception that everyone thought the earth was flat just a few centuries ago we have had globes for over 2 millennia.
Indeed; unfortunately, the clarification doesn't fit (exactly) in the speech XD. One thing could be argued, though (and that could still fits the speech), "500 years ago people thought they knew the extension of the whole world".
When I was a kid I had a Mikey toy. Whenever you moved his one arm (it pivoted right and left at the elbow) the head on a stick in his other hand turned with it.
Men In Black the comics were a interesting blend, basically The X-Files with dark humor. Published by Aircel & Malibu comics from 1990-1991. Then Marvel Comics got the rights and kept the series standalone (non Marvel universe) with one shot stories and an comic adaptation of the first film. The director is Barry Sonnenfeld (2 of The Addams Family films/Get Shorty) and he did this original trilogy. Smith & Jones unexpectedly worked so well together. Jones is usually so serious (still is) and did have some laughs. Smith was on the rise as an movie star after Bad Boys, ID4 and proved again he could hold his own with veterans of film. No.3 film of 1997, Academy Award winner for Best Make-Up and Sony's biggest film for 5 years (until Spider-Man). The Ray-Ban 'Predator 2' sunglasses worn by the MIBs in the film, sold like crazy. Various merchandise as you can imagine and pretty cool. The title song by Smith is his first-ever hit single as an solo artist. Later re-teaming with DJ Jazzy Jeff to record his 'Return To Rap' album, Big Willie Style (Gettin Jiggy Wit It, Just The Two of Us, Miami). RIP to veteran actor Rip Torn aka Zed. The animated series ran 4 seasons (53 episodes). MIB 2 was decent, but needed to be better with some of the laughs. MIB 3 was just as good as the original and an worthy bookend. MIB International aka MIB 4 (2019) is not as loved as the others. But you'll have to see for yourself.
When I drove the Jersey turnpike a year ago it was a very easy drive. Nowhere near the nightmare I remember from the 80's when I drove it a lot. Back then it was so bad that I started detouring West to avoid it.
I did see something flying in the night sky directly above me once where I simply couldn't figure out what the hell it was. And that's saying something because I'm pretty much into aviation. So it was a "UFO" because that stands for unidentified flying object. Would be cool if it really was aliens, but chances are that it was just a weird looking helicopter or something. Nevertheless, it freaked me out anyway because it was totally silent. I was in a park of a big city at the time but it was very late in a winter evening so no one else was around. I checked the news over the next few days, but there was no word about it. And no, I wasn't drunk or high or anything at the time either, just walking through the park on my way home when that thing passed over me. Never found out what it was...
He's chasing Ray Park, (aka, Toad, aka Darth Maul!) 1996 summer blockbuster, Independence Day. 1997 summer blockbuster, MiB, Will was 2 for 2! The Last Dragon, The Last Starfighter,
I loved the hell out of the MIB movie, freaked me out the first time watching it as a kid, especially the Edgar scenes but man I loved how all conspiracies just boil down to 'Aliens'. Best thing to come out of it was the animated series. Absolute banger intro.
She must have been living under the roof of her elementary school because I think she was 12 when MIB _3_ came out, let alone this one. The recent reboot attempt flopped and nobody cared. I absolutely love this film but it hasn't been mainstream for two decades.
Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith worked so well together here, this is probably the strong film in the franchise. I loved the part with the wife who called it the "Edgar suit." 😂
You definitely need to watch MIB2 and then re-watch (with greater comprehension) the excellent MIB3. But you also have to give us a reaction to "Casablanca," one of the greatest films ever made! I think you'll find it a lot more interesting now with the benefit of your greater experience in critiquing movies.
If there’s a (few) movie I would recommend, it probably would be ether Godzilla Minus One or the MV Godzilla films (tho Minus One might be a little risky since Toho is rather aggressive when it comes to copyright, but the film is a modern must-watch masterpiece)
I've driven about 100k miles on the Jersey Turnpike and it is hell. But, then I've driven more than 250k miles throughout NY, as well. And driving through the city's 5 boroughs is insanity at its finest.
As a fellow Gen-Xer, David Cross has done some of my favorite roles, like Tobias Funke in the show "Arrested Development", Dwight in "Scary Movie 2", and his recurring role as Donnie on "Just Shott Me". He was even a random NPC Marine in "Halo 2" and absolutely gave the most hilarious lines in the game. I made an effort to keep that Marine alive every time I came across him so I could hear more of his dialogue.
Fun fact, the writer got the idea for the men in black movie from a real life encounter he had with the men in black, but that encounter made him think, what was their job like for them, what were their lives like, then he created the comic book, then Director Steven Spielberg’s people saw the comic & the rest is cinematic history.
Lol, the little grunt when Edgar hits the screen door makes me laugh every damn time. The novelization confirms that Jay is right on all accounts. He questions why they are there while "Captain America"just repeats what is said. He does problem solving with the table and doesn't judge the aliens by their appearance, taking out the real threat in the process. "Did you ever flashy thing me K?" "No... "I ain't kidding K, have you ever flashy thinged me!" "No..." Lmao, Frank getting "shaken down"by K NEVER fails to make me laugh. It's hilarious, just the dogs expressions and the little "rowr! Rowr!" noises, XD Tommy Lee Jones is clearly corpsing during this scene too, XD
I know most people didn't enjoy Mib International. I liked it enough but I was so disappointed that Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson didn't have their MCU chemistry.
2:24 I never knew about the comic until I saw this movie (and I’m pretty sure I missed that note the first time I saw the movie). What I didn’t know until very recently is that the comic is actually based on a real-life conspiracy theory. Apparently men in black (though they don’t look exactly like men) show up where of things happen (mothman encounters, skinwalker ranch, Bigfoot sightings, etc). 8:51 no, don’t really care about the NFL, but I love college football and I’m watching this just a few days after watching the Rambling Wreck take down F$U. #THWG 15:08 absolutely agree. I’ve driven from Atlanta to Connecticut several times and I always go I-81 through VA and PA up to I-84 to avoid NJ and NY.
It always confuses me how people will see a sequel or third or fourth movie without ever having seen the first one. I wouldn’t be able to do it, like I’m not gonna watch anything until I’ve seen the first one, I’ll feel like it’s a waste since I won’t know the backstory or have the full context to truly appreciate the film
Really enjoyed your reaction, Angelina. Please watch and react to the other films in this series. They are all pretty good. --Especially if you are a Will Smith fan! 😀
If you're ever curious, the pug alien frank has a true form and is revield on the old Mib animated series. I'm sure you can find a picture. You don't see what he looks like in the movies.
The funny thing about The Worms and why they love coffee so much. In their homeworld, coffee is seen as a food stuff of royalty. So by drinking it on Earth, they feel like the biggest hedonists because coffee is everywhere on Earth. The Worms are pretty much in it to have a good time. Pretty nice people all things considered.
Don't be fooled by ""Marvel Comic" the comic was published by an indie company, Aircel, which was purchased by another indie company, Malibu, and that was purchased by Marvel shortly before this movie came out.
This movie taught me so much as a kid. I learned about how you must always treat immigrants (extraterrestrials in this case as well) with basic human dignity and respect and not as invaders, that not everyone in every agency is out there is made up of psychopaths who eliminate any and every potential threat, and that not every major secret should be know to the public for their own safety.
Love that K argues J about shooting guns in public but then shakes a dog in public and got lucky no animal activists went towards him. Yes to the next two films! The third one has Josh Brolin aka Thanos aka Cable from Deadpool 2.
Would be cool if they could add easter eggs and mentioning in current and future Marvel Studios (Phases) story arcs: Movies & TV Series- Live Action about Men in Black Universe. Since it is also from Marvel comics and other comics publishers.
Quick x-men break for some Men In Black! I forget how talented Will Smith is... Loved him in this!
@@ANGELINAA 💞💞💖💖💖👏👏👏👏😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

He's such an underrated actor. He can do different flavors of unnerving/unhinged so well.
Totally agree!!
Whilst I really enjoyed his performance here as Edgar, it's his turn as Wilson Fisk on Daredevil that quite frankly exceeds Heath Ledger's Joker.
Not on the same level as the Joker at all imo but you know what actually might be... his role in the movie the Cell, which unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on perspective) will forever be relegated to the realm of little known cult classics, which is why practically no one knows about it.

Vincent Donofrio plays the cockroach alien. He was also the guy in full metal jacket and kingpin from the Marvel films.
Also the jerky military guy from "Jurassic World".
Vincent D'Onofrio should have received an Oscar for his physical performance in this. I 100% believe without question that he is a giant cockroach uncomfortably stuffed into a skin suit too small for him.
Yeah seen this movie sooo many times and never even questioned his "skin suit", is he wearing fake extra skin or is he actually that "foldy"...
Girl I need part 2 like RIGHT NOW 😤
This is a movie about a clandestine agency, and the actors playing them have the generic last names Smith and Jones.
They even riffed on that in the billboards for MIB 2.
I think people forget that this is a comic book movie so it's not just you!
“The dog owes my friend money.” Some great quotes in this film

5:39 👁👁 Reaction channels have cgi budgets now!?
If there’s a (few) movie I would recommend, it probably would be ether Godzilla Minus One or the MV Godzilla films (tho Minus One might be a little risky since Toho is rather aggressive when it comes to copyright, but the film is a modern must-watch masterpiece)
My Edgar suit is currently at the dry cleaners.
I've driven about 100k miles on the Jersey Turnpike and it is hell. But, then I've driven more than 250k miles throughout NY, as well. And driving through the city's 5 boroughs is insanity at its finest.
Awesome reaction of my favorite Men In Black episode!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Great reaction, The whole trilogy... well worth the look!
As a fellow Gen-Xer, David Cross has done some of my favorite roles, like Tobias Funke in the show "Arrested Development", Dwight in "Scary Movie 2", and his recurring role as Donnie on "Just Shott Me". He was even a random NPC Marine in "Halo 2" and absolutely gave the most hilarious lines in the game. I made an effort to keep that Marine alive every time I came across him so I could hear more of his dialogue.
Just like Will, this movie slaps hard!
Tough but fair 🤣
Edgar’s wife has a western NY accent. I have family in Buffalo and they sound just like her.
I think the second and third are so much better!!
Yay Finally Thanks you 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊😊 Angelina ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊 Congratulations Good Luck ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
I'd love to see you react to: The Princess Bride, The Fifth Element, A Knight's Tale.
Watching A Knight's Tale would change Angelina's stars. 😏
I will watch literally any Knight's Tale reaction on TH-cam.
Fun fact, the writer got the idea for the men in black movie from a real life encounter he had with the men in black, but that encounter made him think, what was their job like for them, what were their lives like, then he created the comic book, then Director Steven Spielberg’s people saw the comic & the rest is cinematic history.
The Men in Black cartoon was a fun watch too!
Lol, the little grunt when Edgar hits the screen door makes me laugh every damn time.
The novelization confirms that Jay is right on all accounts. He questions why they are there while "Captain America"just repeats what is said. He does problem solving with the table and doesn't judge the aliens by their appearance, taking out the real threat in the process.
"Did you ever flashy thing me K?"
"No...
"I ain't kidding K, have you ever flashy thinged me!"
"No..."
Lmao, Frank getting "shaken down"by K NEVER fails to make me laugh. It's hilarious, just the dogs expressions and the little "rowr! Rowr!" noises, XD Tommy Lee Jones is clearly corpsing during this scene too, XD
I know most people didn't enjoy Mib International. I liked it enough but I was so disappointed that Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson didn't have their MCU chemistry.
2:24 I never knew about the comic until I saw this movie (and I’m pretty sure I missed that note the first time I saw the movie). What I didn’t know until very recently is that the comic is actually based on a real-life conspiracy theory. Apparently men in black (though they don’t look exactly like men) show up where of things happen (mothman encounters, skinwalker ranch, Bigfoot sightings, etc).
8:51 no, don’t really care about the NFL, but I love college football and I’m watching this just a few days after watching the Rambling Wreck take down F$U. #THWG
15:08 absolutely agree. I’ve driven from Atlanta to Connecticut several times and I always go I-81 through VA and PA up to I-84 to avoid NJ and NY.
You need to do /all/ of Casablanca, you 20 minute watching monster, you!! 😂🤣❤
Almost missed that bit at 5:39 !
Woah first time !? Only yesterday did I discover my old VHS from 1997... Love this movie.
@18:39 Yes Angelina... because they're such good listeners...
Absolutely love your videos!! Also would you plan on continuing umbrella academy? S4 just came out and I enjoyed the S1 reactions
What a wonderful reaction!! Angelina!!
The eye blink edit was slick. Almost woulda missed it if the viewer blinked. Lol.
Angelina it did pilot a spaceship from its planet to earth. Reasonably sure it could figure out how to drive a van.
5:43
Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth
Men in black lets go ...i love all the movies in the franchise even though alot dont like some of em
It is 10:09 am & I'm watching your reaction to MIB 😊
It always confuses me how people will see a sequel or third or fourth movie without ever having seen the first one. I wouldn’t be able to do it, like I’m not gonna watch anything until I’ve seen the first one, I’ll feel like it’s a waste since I won’t know the backstory or have the full context to truly appreciate the film
Really enjoyed your reaction, Angelina. Please watch and react to the other films in this series. They are all pretty good. --Especially if you are a Will Smith fan! 😀
If you're ever curious, the pug alien frank has a true form and is revield on the old Mib animated series. I'm sure you can find a picture. You don't see what he looks like in the movies.
I can’t believe you said that about Casablanca😞
I'd love to see you react to Dune!
The funny thing about The Worms and why they love coffee so much. In their homeworld, coffee is seen as a food stuff of royalty. So by drinking it on Earth, they feel like the biggest hedonists because coffee is everywhere on Earth. The Worms are pretty much in it to have a good time. Pretty nice people all things considered.
When TLJ shakes the dog during interrogation, he cracks a smile. I love that.
Don't be fooled by ""Marvel Comic" the comic was published by an indie company, Aircel, which was purchased by another indie company, Malibu, and that was purchased by Marvel shortly before this movie came out.
This movie taught me so much as a kid. I learned about how you must always treat immigrants (extraterrestrials in this case as well) with basic human dignity and respect and not as invaders, that not everyone in every agency is out there is made up of psychopaths who eliminate any and every potential threat, and that not every major secret should be know to the public for their own safety.
Watch the guardians of the galaxy movies. They are so good
MIB has a special place in my heart from my childhood. :D
Love that K argues J about shooting guns in public but then shakes a dog in public and got lucky no animal activists went towards him.
Yes to the next two films! The third one has Josh Brolin aka Thanos aka Cable from Deadpool 2.
Editor that was wrong during the eyes blinking reaction. I appreciate it XD
Best to watch the second and the third really soon. They're all related. And, whatever the internet says, there is no forth MIB.
"Vaya vaya. Malévolo cucarachón se nos puso sentimental"
Almost 10 years before Kung fu panda lol
"You don't remember your tequila night?"
Nobody remembers their tequila night.
Watch Casablanca again... and finish it.
Yeah, that kind of hurt my heart.
28:29 this one of the coolest reviles ever!!
Would be cool if they could add easter eggs and mentioning in current and future Marvel Studios (Phases) story arcs: Movies & TV Series- Live Action about Men in Black Universe.
Since it is also from Marvel comics and other comics publishers.
Please react to the other men in black movies when you can. They hold a special place in my heart and id love to see your reaction to watching them.
Casablanca's like, a perfect movie
