** The scene where the alien that Kay killed in the beginning of the film transformed was not originally planned. The creators added it in because they realized that most people would have sympathized with the alien had he died as is, and wanted to ensure no sympathy was to be gained for the alien prior to being killed.

** Originally, there were going to be ''two'' alien ships looming over the Earth, demanding the return of the galaxy: the Arquillian ship, and a Baltian ship (Rosenberg was originally a Baltian in the script). Some work was done in post production (dubbing the aliens' conversation into "alienspeak", for one), and long story short, Rosenberg became an Arquillian.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to the book ''The Man Behind the Mask'', MichaelJackson would have appeared in the sequel for free...''if WillSmith were dropped from the film so he could be the protagonist''. He couldn't convince Sony's higher-ups that this was a good idea, hence the cameo instead.

** In MIB II, rapper Biz Markie was visiting Will Smith on the set and they were beatboxing to each other. Sonnenfeld saw this and loved it and put Markie as an alien in the post office scene and added the part where Agent Smith speaks to an alien in his language, which was really just their beatbox routine.

* ThrowItIn:
** Will Smith's line "It just be rainin' black people in New York!" was improvised but so hilarious that they decided to leave it in.
** As was his line in the sequel when showing Kay the car: "It used to come with a black man, but it kept getting pulled over". Apparently they reused it so much that he soon became sick of it.
** In fact, most of the lines in the final product were this. TommyLeeJones didn't like the script and made up most of his dialogue on the spot, with WillSmith trying to keep up. 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.
