Current Events > "we straight don't exist...no fingerprints..." (men in black spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Will Smith says that in the song...

Ok so, when Jay neuralized Kay at the end of Men In Black and he went back to his family how did Kay regain his fingerprints? i was just listening to Men In Black randomly and discovered this plot hole....

Even assuming that the Will Smith song is 100% cannon, since they have the technology to completely disguise aliens completely as believable humans, I'm sure they have a way to manufacture fingerprints.

ok but all he does is nerualize him and say "you have a wife..this is her...this your family...got back to them" and sends him on his way...they don't take him into a lab and reassign his fingerprints.

We actually see them burn off J's fingerprints in the first one

Or maybe he just...y'know...doesn't get them back?

How often do you really need your fingerprints, honestly? If you're not being booked for a crime or getting a background check for a job, I can't think of any other point where your fingerprints are necessary.

But we dont see them reassign them. He just leaves.

You can burn off your fingerprints in real life, and they will grow back.
I always thought that it meant that they removed their fingerprints in all databases that had them and that they kept using that fingerprinteraser once a month.
As for Kay, it was a while since I saw the movie, aint it supposed to have passed X time units between the neuralization and Kay going back to his family?
I mean, it make sense that Jay would pick up a phone and call Kays girlfriend, pretending to be a doctor and say that a patient that has been in coma for 20 years or so wakes up and only talks about her even if it is not shown, right?

So people with no fingers are essentially not people nor are they capable of being loved by family members.

What. The. Fuck. Vipey.

So finger-printless people are automatically criminals?

Yes, 'cause I am sure watching him go through the process/paperwork of him reintegrating into civilian life would had had a bigger emotional impact.
