Men in Black II	comment	All spoilers for Men in Black will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned.Men in Black II (stylized MIIB) is the 2002 sequel to Men in Black and the second film in the Men in Black series. It is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, with the screenplay by Robert Gordon and Barry Fanaro and the story by Gordon. It was released on July 3rd, 2002.With K (Tommy Lee Jones) officially retired (with his memory wiped and civilian identity restored), J (Will Smith) has been working overtime as the top field agent of MiB. A powerful and malevolent alien named Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle) returns to Earth looking for "The Light of Zartha," which is tied to a case K was involved with back in the '70s. To get the information they need, they reinstate K and get back to business.The film also stars Johnny Knoxville as Scrad, Rosario Dawson as Laura Vasquez, Tony Shalhoub as Jack Jeebs and Rip Torn as Zed.Much like the first movie, Will Smith released a tie-in music video entitled "Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)".Its story was followed by Men in Black 3.

When they take the elevator down to the main level, a robot starts firing aimlessly into the elevator, while the heroes are hiding on the ceiling. When the robot runs out of bullets initially, Jay uses that chance to get out of the elevator and make his way down to save Laura, and the worms climb out the top to reach the power controls. Kay then attracts the robot into the elevator, hits the close button, drops a bomb, swings out, and lets the bomb detonate inside with just the robot getting caught in the blast.

Seerlena kills Jeff by eating him from the inside after she gets tricked into getting Swallowed Whole by the latter.

At the end of the movie it turns out it's also the activation switch for the giant neuralyzer in the Statue of Liberty's torch. Jay immediately declares that he wants one after seeing it in action.

The passengers ignore him until Jeffrey bites a chunk off the car. Once the crisis is resolved and the train limps to a stop in the station, he neuralyzes them and starts subliminally calling them out about this by pointing out that in an actual emergency, they would have been eaten. He is then forced to reneuralyze them once he realized that he was accidentally violating MIB's misinformation campaign to hide signs of aliens on Earth, now with a hilarious story requesting that they enjoy using new space-efficient, energy-saving cars.

Men in Black II / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion Know that weird language J speaks in to the guy in the mail room? Well, the mailman is actually Biz Markie, and that "weird alien language" is actually beatboxing. Smith' had previously used that particular beat in two episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (one of which, hilariously, saw him doing this in front of a man dressed similarly to an MIB agent). Patrick Warburton plays a not-too-bright agent who joined MIB because he wants to be a hero. His codename? "Agent T." A lot of mentions were made of Serleena's ravenous appetite. One scene shows her scarfing down a massive burger. At the time the film was released, Lara Flynn Boyle was in the tabloids a lot because of her emaciated appearance, with a lot of gossips claiming she was starving herself. Like most starlets facing similar accusations, Boyle deflected it by claiming she was actually a Big Eater and just had a superfast metabolism. When Kay sees the photo of himself at the restaurant, he says "That is a hell of a fish...". Tommy Lee Jones delivered the same line as Gerard in The Fugitive as he sees a picture of Sykes.

Men in Black II / int_3e95582f	comment	The Greatest Story Never Told: J tells K that MIB work is not for people who want to be a hero, as the inherent secrecy of the job means that no recognition will ever come. He makes a point of mentioning James Edwards (his now-erased civilian identity), who saved dozens of lives in the subway that night and will never be thanked for it because nobody remembers that he even exists. The aliens living in a locker in Grand Central Station. Somehow, a race of small aliens built an entire town inside a locker in the terminal, and they view Kay as The Messiah who left his watch and a business card from a video store with them, and they turned its words into religious gospel. Nothing about this is explained, Kay just takes his stuff from them and leaves, and even he has no idea who they are, how they know him, or what they're doing living in a locker in the middle of Grand Central Station. But apparently they've been there for thirty-five years waiting for him to return.

While Serleena is successfully destroyed, Laura being the Light means she has to depart to Zartha to save both her own planet and Earth, in turn leaving behind both J who she'd fallen in love with and K who it turns out is probably the father she never knew she had. J while he accepts it also knows that it still hurts though. K while he enjoyed civilian life is also happy to be back with the MIB as well too.

This film triples down on the action quotient, with the main characters getting into extended fight scenes and wrestling large aliens in a much more over-the-top manner (Zed somehow floats in mid-air repeatedly bicycle kicking Sarleena, to no effect).

When J attempts to establish a communication channel with Frank, he gives Frank an order, but his transmission was cut inexplicably, leading the worms and Frank (and initially the audience) to think that J and K were shot down and killed by Serleena. However, it later becomes apparent that J and K survived, but the earlier shot only disabled their communications, thus explaining why the transmission ended. Serleena herself gets a pretty notable one too. During the chase at the end she flies into the giant alien worm Jeffrey's mouth and she gets eaten. It seems like this will be the last we see of her. Unfortunately she comes bursting out of Jeff's body and is now as big as he was.

She also steals some of the pizza from his restaurant. Jay tells Jaara he's under arrest for, among other things, "being that ugly" and making too many copies of himself.

Men in Black II / int_853a0e84	type	Transformation Discretion Shot
Men in Black II / int_853a0e84	comment	Transformation Discretion Shot: A triple dose of this occurs in the intro: Serleena initially starts out as a small green plant/worm creature that landed in the middle of Central Park; then, after she encounters a discarded magazine with a Victoria's Secret advert, countless little tendrils start to pour out of her mouth and take on new shapes until they all but envelop the screen - before we cut back to the magazine. Then we cut to a Feet-First Introduction and slow pan up her new form, a woman in high heels and black lingerie based on the model in the advert. Then a rapist makes the mistake of dragging her behind a bush, only to be brutally eaten alive before he can even try anything; seconds later, Seerlena walks back into view with a huge Balloon Belly. Quickly realizing that her new disguise is causing problems, she walks back behind the bush, audibly pukes up the dead rapist, and walks back into view with her belly normal-sized again - only this time she's carrying her victim's clothes.

Also, years before that, K develops a relationship with Princess Lauranaâ€”to the point that he's likely Laura's fatherâ€”and this ends when Serleeena murders her. Laura is forced to depart to Zartha once she's revealed to be the Light and that it'll save both that planet and Earth, meaning she leaves behind J while doing so too. Also since J was implied to be romantically involved with Laurel/L in the last film, that means her deciding to leave the MIB and go back to her old life as a mortician means they didn't stay together either.

Men in Black II / int_edaedf90	comment	Vomit Discretion Shot: Serleena, who is currently walking around in nothing but a bra and panties, devours a guy who accosted her with a knife. However, after she ate him she wound up with a massive gut so she hides behind a bush and barfs him up and steals his clothes, which for some reason fit her.

Men in Black II / int_f06cdd2d	type	Sequel Reset
Men in Black II / int_f06cdd2d	comment	Sequel Reset: The first movie ended with K happily retired, all MIB memories erased and given a chance to start things over with the love of his life. J, meanwhile, became K's replacement and got a new partner of his own in Agent L. The sequel drops L (her absence is merely Hand Waved) and brings back the amnesic K. Thing is, once his memories are restored, the same character dynamic from the first movie is repeated, despite J having five years of experience.

In turn, she leaves J just after the two fell in love. Also, she's even learned K is probably her father too and she has to leave him as well.

Men in Black II / int_f1993b4c	comment	The aliens living in a locker in Grand Central Station. Somehow, a race of small aliens built an entire town inside a locker in the terminal, and they view Kay as The Messiah who left his watch and a business card from a video store with them, and they turned its words into religious gospel. Nothing about this is explained, Kay just takes his stuff from them and leaves, and even he has no idea who they are, how they know him, or what they're doing living in a locker in the middle of Grand Central Station. But apparently they've been there for thirty-five years waiting for him to return.

It then turns out that the elevator's occupants are all doing a ceiling cling to avoid being hit.

At the video store, the co-owner rambles about her theories, including one about how Caribbean resorts charging crab meals for $5 is a conspiracy. Once she and Newton are neuralyzed, Kay instructs them to go on vacation, buy a crab meal and pay more than $5.
