Men in Black II, Worm Guy Puppet

original movie prop

Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) and Jay (Will Smith) reunite to provide our best line of defense against a seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIBs mission statement: protecting the earth from the scum of the universe. A split worm guy puppet from Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black II. This puppet was created for the sequence in which Jay (Will Smith) and Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) return to the worms’ apartment to find them all momentarily dismembered. The pieces a constructed with foam latex skins over a resin and metal armature structure that house the wiring for the puppets. Made by the talented Rick Baker and mounted to a custom themed display to portray the scene in the film.
