9 More Movie “Mistakes” That Were Totally Intentional
2. The Moving Lift - Men In Black II
After "rescuing" K from the post office, J brings him back to Men In Black headquarters to give us an inversion of the first movie's sequence where J himself sees the unreal sight of the alien-filled HQ. For full effect, the elevator they get out of disembarks at a raised platform above the room for a useful vantage point.
But then, later on, when J and K head back to the HQ to take on Lara Flynn Boyle's villain, Serleena, the lift drops them off at ground-level. It looks pretty sloppy but it serves a purpose.
They're greeted by a trashcan robot fitted with heavy artillery that shoots the elevator up, which wouldn't have been possible had it dropped them off at the original elevated spot.
