Aliens beware: here come the Men In Black!
Okay, so here's the real truth about aliens. They found their way to Earth quite some time ago but the government decided that it would be better for the public to be kept in the dark about this. Instead, they set up a top-secret organization to monitor and police all alien life on the planet. This means that friendly aliens are free to come and go as they please and if any undesirable aliens show up, the Men In Black will sort them out.
Being an agent for the Men in Black might sound like a prestigious title but as we've seen from the movies, it's pretty much a thankless job. The agents give up their own personal identities when they join MIB and because they always neuralyze any bystanders, no-one even knows they exist, never mind about their heroic actions. But someone needs to save the planet right?
It's hard to find a person who can honestly say that they didn't enjoy the light-hearted Men in Black movie trilogy and if you've clicked on this quiz we're guessing you're not one of them either. But let's see how well you really know your MIB trivia...
What is the name of Will Smith's character?
As one of the main players in this film franchise (he's been one of the lead characters in all three movies) Will Smith is synonymous with Men in Black. And no-one pulls off that suit (the last one he will ever wear) with quite the same amount of panache as he does! He's certainly come a long way since the first film when he didn't even believe aliens existed. Now he's one of the agency's most respected employees - but what name does he go by?
What was the name of the pug in MIB?
We first meet this little character in the first MIB film when he gives one of the agents a piece of vital information. In the second film, he had a larger role, helping the lead character find his lost partner. This character wasn't really a dog, he was an alien and he just played the role of a canine on Earth. When his role as an agent doesn't work out he becomes Zed's assistant instead. What was this little pug's name?
In MIB II, where does Laura work?
Laura (played by Rosario Dawson) is an important figure in the second MIB film, although she doesn't realize how special she really is. Agent J takes a liking to her and chooses not to wipe her memory, something that against MIB policy and completely out of character for him. It's clear he had more than a crush on Laura, and who wouldn't? But when we first meet Laura she is working a menial job, do you remember where she worked?
What year does Agent J travel to in MIB III?
Agent J wasn't exactly thrilled to discover that traveling back in time would require him to jump off a building, but when it's time to save the world (and the enemy alien craft are hovering in the skies), an agent does what he has to. In this film, he needs to travel back in time to help a younger version of himself kill an alien, who, in his time period, causes this alien invasion. Can you remember what year he goes to?
What does a deneuralyzer do?
There are only two of these deneuralyzers known to exist. The first, and, of course, best, is owned by the MIB and is located in their HQ. The other is owned by a small-time crook, alien arms dealer, and pawnbroker, Jeebs. Jeebs keeps his self-assembled unit in his basement. Now, this is not an IKEA product, get the instructions wrong on this one and you will cook your patient. Can you remember what this unique device is used for? What can it do, when it's working correctly?
Where did James Edwards work before he joined MIB?
Agent J, or rather, James Edwards, was not always a distinguished member of MIB. Before he joined the elite ranks of the black-suited, alien-battling, unsung super team he did something just as dangerous and probably a little less exciting than chasing Ballchinians and Cephalopoid's or rescuing Earth's ozone layer from bad guys like Jarra and his mini flying clones. Can you name the career path chosen by James before he traded up his tracksuit for a black suit? Who did he work for?
Which character does Tommy Lee Jones play in MIB?
Tommy Lee Jones plays one of the main roles in this trilogy of fantastic sci-fi comedy films. He is best known for his roles as a law-and-order man and almost always plays the role of the lone or tired police officer or marshal. He has had a few roles where he is the antagonist, but in this movie, he is the mainstay of the team. Can you give us the name of the legendary character he portrays in the MIB films?
What year did the first Men in Black movie come out?
People were looking forward to the release of Men in Black even though it came out in the same year as G.I. Jane, Event Horizon, Spawn and of course, Titanic. Even with all these heavyweight box office titles released in that year Men in Black still managed a decent opening weekend. The film turned out to be so successful that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were brought back for two more installments. Can you name the year the first MIB movie was released?
Where did this character work?
You could say that this lady had unique talents that qualified her for a position at MIB. She eventually ends up working for the top-secret alien monitoring organization but before that, she had another job which included some pretty vomit-inducing work. But this lady had a strong stomach and a strong mind to go along with it. Not to mention, she was quite easy on the eyes as well. Do you remember where she worked before joining MIB? What did she do?
Who was this shady character?
This character is found in MIB I and II where he runs a pawn shop. But under all that hairy, cross-eyed, goody two shoe facade there beats the heart of an intergalactic arms dealer and all-around general scum bag that would give up his own grandmother if he saw a profit in it. In this movie, we see him very reluctantly help out Agent J and a somewhat befuddled former Agent K who needs to be deneuralyzed in order to regain his memory. Can you name this smooth talking pawnbroker?
What was the name of the moon-based prison in MIB III?
Every secret organization requires a secret prison or black site and the MIB is no different. I mean think about it, would you want the worst criminals in the galaxy serving time in your backyard? No, of course, no-one on Earth wants that right? That said, where do you house them? Well, why not the moon! That's exactly what they do in MIB III. Can you name the prison built on the moon for the enemies of Earth and the galaxy?
Where does Agent J find Agent K working in MIB II?
Agent J has a problem, a small one that could have a big impact should he not be able to solve it. Not the type you could simply send a bottle of wine, chocolates and some roses to solve. But, this is where the issue becomes a bit sticky, it's not one he can solve on his own. He needs the help of his former comrade in arms and mentor, Agent K. The only problem is, Agent K is no longer a member of MIB. He is now Kevin. Where does Agent J find him?
What kind of alien was Serleena?
Serleena is an alien queen, one that wants to steal the Light of Zartha and she will not hesitate to kill anyone in her way, except for Zed as she seems to have a little crush on the old MIB commander. But in order to get what she wants, she has to work with other alien criminals that absolutely hate the MIB and more specifically Agent J as he put most of them away. Can you name her species? What type of alien was she?
Who was this MIB villain?
The villain of the third MIB movie was unlike any we've seen before. This bad boy is not only a destroyer of worlds but he is also the scout for a much larger army that needs to feed on worlds as they pass them by, very much like locusts. He is armed, no pun intended, with a small little creature that forms an independent part of him. This critter can shoot spikes and seems to be able to cut or break almost any metal that holds this guy. Can you name this character?
Where was this alien hiding?
Have you ever looked at someone and then looked at yourself in the mirror and thought, "Are we even from the same planet?" Don't worry, most of us have felt this way and in the MIB universe, it's totally possible that you could be correct to follow that hunch. This little guy was hiding in plain sight like most of the aliens in this series. Do you remember where he was hiding though, when Agent J and K found him?
Which MIB movie featured Johnny Knoxville as an alien?
When most of us hear the name Johnny Knoxville, we immediately think of the MTV show Jackass. Jackass made Knoxville and his silly band of amateur stuntmen famous in the early 2000's but Knoxville was one of the few cast members who actually managed to use his fame to launch a film career. He appeared in films like Dukes of Hazzard, Jackass: The Movie and Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa but did he have a role in a MIB movie? And if so, which one was it?
Who does Josh Brolin play in MIB III?
Over the past few years, Josh Brolin has certainly proved that he is an extremely versatile actor. From gritty crime dramas like No Country for Old Men to thrillers like Old Boy, he's shown that he has range, and that range even extends into comedy. In MIB III, he plays the younger version of one of the leading characters and wow, did he pull it off or what? But which of these characters was it? Can you remember who Josh Brolin plays in the latest installment of the series?
Where or what is "Orion's Belt" in the first movie?
The first movie is a whole lot of fun and kicked off the franchise right with agents J and K running around trying to stop a giant cockroach from getting something very special. In the process, an alien loses his life, but not before uttering a very mysterious and cryptic message about Orion's Belt. J and K eventually solve the mystery, but not before K takes an entire trip through the digestive tract of a very angry bug in order to retrieve his gun.
What do the Men in Black use to wipe people's memories of alien events?
Keeping the world safe from aliens is a tough job all on its own but the Men in Black also need to deal with the general public, which is sometimes even more tricky! But thankfully for them, they have a little tool, that's easy to transport and use, to help them with this task. This nifty little gadget allows them to wipe out memories of alien encounters in an instant and it even works on large crowds. What is this device called?
Who played Edgar the Bug in MIB I?
Edgar the Bug was not a very happy character, but you would also find it hard to be cheerful if you had to walk around wearing a decaying human disguise. In MIB I, we see a spaceship crash next to an isolated farmhouse and the alien that emerges takes the farmers skin in order to camouflage himself. He then goes back into the house and asks the farmer's shell-shocked wife for a glass of sugar water. Who played this slimy character?
Which MIB movie/s did this character appear in?
Which MIB movie/s do you remember this ditzy character from?

In MIB he is the one with access to time traveling equipment and he helps Agent J get to where he needs to be. His father was the inventor of the time jump device and was serving a life sentence on LunarMax. Who was he?
Who was the 600 pound alien/worm Agent J had to deal with in the subway?
Don't judge an alien just by what you see on the surface! At the start of MIB II, we see J and his new partner talking to a subway alien, who appears to be quite small. But when the other agent talks to harshly to this alien he becomes upset and it's up to J to try and neutralize the situation his dumb partner created. He makes it alive in the end but only just. What was the name of his 600-pound alien worm?
Which MIB movie is this scene from?
Time can be quite confusing, right? Especially when it comes to time travel and the infinite possible realities that may come into existence. In one of the MIB films, the agents meet an alien who can see into the future, but his talents extend even further than that. He is actually able to visualize all potential realities and see them taking place right in front of him. This character was pivotal to the storyline. Can you name the MIB movie that this scene is from?
What was Edgar looking for in the first movie?
Edgar's character made the first movie. After crash landing on Earth in the yard of a seemingly violent and not very intelligent farmer, he wriggles his way into the guy's skin. The new and not very improved Edgar asks for sugar water before tearing a swath of destruction through New York in search of a particular item. J and K notice lots of riled up off-worlders and quickly realize that this unseemly character has come to town. What was he looking for?
What was this little creature?
The tiny, spiny, spiky creature in this installment is not only a living alien being but also somewhat of a delicacy. Its usually prepared for a certain Boglodite that really hates Agent K's guts and would love nothing more than to see him dead and Earth invaded. This tiny creature is virtually unknown and cannot be placed in any category except that it seems to be semi crustaceous and that its culinary acquisition is for a certain species only. Can you name the little critter?
What game do the worms play with Laura in MIB II?
Agent J wasn't entirely convinced about the existence of aliens until he saw these guys making coffee in the first MIB film. They played a larger role in the second film, helping to defeat the evil Serleena (well, they did try, but got scared). In the third movie we see them again, this time playing the bagpipes at Zed's memorial service. But in MIB II, Agent J leaves Laura in their care for a short time. Do you remember which game they played with her?
What does Agent J do to his partner at the start of MIB II?
Finding the right partner can be difficult and at the beginning of MIB II, we see Agent J struggling with this issue. After a messy incident involving a subway alien worm, J takes his partner to a pie shop where the two of them chat. J realizes that his new partner desires something that he will never find working for MIB and that's recognition. Once he knows this, he also knows what he has to do. What does Agent J do to his partner at the start of MIB II?
In MIB II, what is Serleena looking for on Earth?
This shape-shifting alien queen takes on the form of a lingerie model when she arrives on Earth, hoping it will aid her in getting what she wants. She's clearly annoyed because she's been looking all over the galaxy for something, that's been on Earth for quite some time. She determined to do whatever it takes to get her hands on it, even taking over MIB HQ. But what was the object she wanted so badly? Can you remember what it was called?
Who becomes Agent J's new partner at the end of MIB I?

Agent J then needs a new partner and luckily the right woman for the job is waiting in the wings. Who becomes Agent J's new partner at the end of MIB I?
Who takes over MIB from Chief Zed?
Wasn't Chief Zed (played by Rip Torn) one of your favorite MIB characters? With his dry delivery, and commanding presence he was the ideal man for the job of heading up MIB HQ. But times change and people move on and eventually so does Zed. At the start of the third movie, we see the new head of MIB addressing attendees at Zed's memorial service. Do you remember the name of the agent who takes over the top dog role?
Who was this character?
This character was based on a real-life person and he's so famous that this question should be easy! He was a major art figure during the 60's and he owned a little place called The Factory. He was known for being a little over-the-top, maybe even more so than most artists. But in MIB, we learn that this cultural icon was actually an undercover agent for Men in Black, operating under deep, deep cover. Can you name this MIB character?

He once worked with Agent K, but after he found himself becoming slow and forgetful he asked K to wipe his memory. Do you remember which of the MIB movies Agent D appeared in?
Can you name this MIB III character?
Not much was known about this character, except that he worked on Coney Island in the 1960's and he was one of Boris's victims. He was a Byvoid alien and Agent K considered him to be a friend (although he also mentions that he once ate a meal prepared by this alien's wife, which he did not enjoy).

The morning after a strange late-night call from K, Agent J arrives at his partner's apartment only to find it occupied by a woman and her baby. Confused (and craving something very badly) he goes to MIB HQ. When he arrives there and starts asking about K, no-one seems to know who he is talking about. Luckily Chief O steps in to untangle the problem and explains why his craving could mean that he underwent a temporal time fracture. What did he want to consume so badly?
