Did You Know In MEN IN BLACK…

The final scenes of the movie were reshot, costing a whopping $4.5 million. While it isn’t unusual for films to go through reshoots, this one was particularly costly. The original ending was supposedly meant to be a comic existential discussion between Jay and the bug but director Barry Sonnenfeld felt it needed to be more action based, so in reshooting and capturing scenes where Jay gets eaten by the bug, an additional $4.5 million was spent on the effects, but …

I'd say it was worth it. Good ending

[delinquente]

FINALLY THERE'S NO 'BUT'

[shelly]

[MaddixCuhming]

I would like to hear the the conversation between jay and the bug

[Heafyshiu]

[zhivko-srgq]

Ah yes, man in black. Aka man in robbing.

[chefp]

Agent K gets eaten by the bug and NOT Agent J!

[Solidier]

but... Then they decided to scrap that whole thing and went with this ending instead.

[jacobemming]

The other ending actually sounds better to me

[burlapbadger]

So Barry Sonnenfeld spent 4.5 million dollars on…vore?

[shadtowa]
