    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Began filming without a completed script, which led to a delay in production, so the screenplay could be re-written and completed.
    • Goofs
      The Army Colonel refers to "the brig", a Navy term. The Army has "the stockade".
    • Quotes
      • Agent K: Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening title appears in a pan from the Moon to the Earth (something usually done at the end of the MiB films).
    • Alternate versions
      The Chinese restaurant scene has been censored for the mainland China release. The sequence with J and K in the back room has been edited to remove all shots of Wu, thus eliminating the revelation that Wu is actually an alien. A subsequent moment with J neuralyzing a group of ethnically Asian bystanders has also been deleted.

    • Where can I get a cake like the one that was brought to Boris in LunarMax? What bakery provided that?
