* TalkingToHimself: For the bit when Edgar is taunting the Bug before he takes the farmer's body for a skinsuit, the Bug's lines are also supplied by Creator/VincentDOnofrio in a gravelly voice reminiscent of the one he later used to play Wilson Fisk in ''Series/Daredevil2015'', and altered to sound electronic.

** The little alien in the mech body was originally written for earlier in the film. Originally, K originally introduced J to a bartender, who would lift his face up to reveal a body made of light. Then Phil Tippet had the idea to have his face open to reveal a pilot. Everyone liked the idea so much they moved the idea and made it plot-relevant.

** In fact, a lot of the lines were this. Creator/TommyLeeJones was famously dissatisfied with the script and so he took it upon himself to "fix" it by ad-libbing a good deal of his dialogue and one-liners. The result was Creator/WillSmith, not to be outdone, having to play along too. It was hilarious enough that Barry Sonnenfeld just didn't care and threw it ALL in. And the movie ended up being praised for its witty dialogue, in case you needed more proof how awesome Tommy Lee Jones is.

It helps tremendously that "K" being the senior agent and "J" struggling to keep up makes it more believable.
