But remember Brolin was also a good sound-alike for George W.

While watching the movie, I was convinced Jones dubbed his own voice. He looks like a young Tommy Lee Jones, and he sounds so uncannily like him that director Barry Sonnenfeld, hearing him, allegedly shed tears of relief. Young Agent K is played, not by Tommy Lee Jones in prosthetic makeup, but by Josh Brolin. How this is achieved is the movie's most impressive achievement. This results in a Young K existing in the same time period as J, who is the same age he started as, so the old man and the rookie are now contemporaries. To make it simple: Agent J (Will Smith, you remember) tries to travel back in time to prevent Boris the Animal from killing K.

Indeed, Boris is one of those aliens whose entire body seems to contain openings from which unappetizing things can forage on its victims. Its palm apparently serves as a condo for a nasty little insectoid creature that will leap and take chunks out of you. His plan: Travel back in time and kill Agent K before that can happen.Īn arm like his, you don't want to lose. He is the last surviving member of his race, still angry because Agent K shot off one of his arms. The hideously ugly alien Boris the Animal ( Jemaine Clement) has escaped from a maximum security prison on the moon.

The story until now: Veteran Agent K ( Tommy Lee Jones) and his younger recruit Agent J ( Will Smith) are under the supervision of Agent O ( Emma Thompson) when there's an emergency.
