“That one went over well”—While &#8216;Men in Black 5&#8217; Develops, Here Is a 2004 Throwback Interview of Will Smith Revealing His Favorite Movie Catchphrase

A film is often remembered for its actors and their dialogues. For Will Smith,
there is no shortage of such dialogues. Having worked in dozens of movies for
over three decades, the actor has aced in his career. Now, being a versatile
actor, even the range of his role has taken him from playing serious and sad to
funny and outrageous characters.



While the actor grabbed an Oscar for his recent biopic King Richards, most of
the fan base treasures old classics that made him the star he is today. So when
back in 2004, he was asked about his favorite catchphrase; he picked a
catchphrase from his timeless classic.


WILL SMITH ONCE REVEALED HIS FAVORITE CATCHPHRASE FROM HIS SCI-FI MOVIE

Will Smith had just begun enjoying the pinnacle of his career in the early
2000s. Contributing to his glory was the Men in Black franchise, which remains a
fan favorite to this day. When the first part was released in 1997, it became an
instant success. That led him to get into another sci-fi flick I, Robot, in
2004. It was during a promotional interview with BlackFilm, for this movie that
the actor was asked multiple questions. The first one was about his favorite
movie catchphrase. “You know what the difference is between you and me? I make
this look good,” he repeated his dialogue from Men in Black. 



Smith played the role of Agent J, who says the phrase to his work partner, Agent
K played by Tommy Lee Jones. It is during Agent J’s induction that he is given a
permanent special suit that he wears before saying his dialogue. “That one went
over well,” Smith confessed to BlackFilm in 2004
[http://www.blackfilm.com/20040709/features/willsmith.shtml] about how most of
his fans repeat the catchphrase upon meeting him.

Considering that franchise-based movies tend to flow and perform better, there
are now reports of Men in Black 5 being made.


A LOOK INTO HIS MEN IN THE BLACK FRANCHISE AND ITS FUTURE

The sci-fi plot of the franchise is based on the conspiracy theory of men in
black suits

hunting for bad aliens on earth. Men In Black 1997 was followed by a sequel Men
in Black II in 2002. Then 2012 gave out Men in Black III.

Now, Men in Black IV of 2019 had Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson in the lead,
a change that was not received well by the fans. So far, not much has been
revealed about the plans for the fifth part.
