10 Movies Weirdly Changed (Nobody Knows Why)

10. Will Smith's Changed Dialogue - Men In Black

Men in Black is a film so firmly set in most of our minds that even the slightest change is pretty noticeable. Case in point, one head-scratching revision for its streaming release was recently brought to light by a keen-eared Redditor.

Early in the film, when the soon-to-be Agent J (Will Smith) is chasing down an alien perp, he originally shouts "Freeze means stop!," but in some streaming versions of the movie, he instead says, "It’s your ass when I catch you!"

More to the point, he says this phrase twice in a row, and even weirder, the subtitles still have the original 'freeze' line.

It's tough to make sense of why decisions like this are made - one commenter suggested it could've been in response to the 1992 incident where a 16-year-old Japanese exchange student was shot and killed in the U.S. because he didn't understand the word "freeze."

But given that Men in Black came out in 1997 and its streaming release many, many years later, it's not quite a persuasive explanation.
