Noisy Cricket - in The Films

In The Films

The Noisy Cricket was first introduced in the first film. While searching for an appropriate weapon for Jay, Agent K found and gave him a Noisy Cricket. Jay mockingly puts it in his pocket and says that he might break it. Yet, he later finds out that the Cricket is very dangerous. The kick-back hurled Jay into the wall behind him the first time he shoots it. He tries to shoot it a second time with a proper poise, but it launched him back again, this time into the windshield of a passing taxi.

It again appeared in the sequel. It was given to a neuralyzed Kay, who was called Kevin Brown. Jay jokingly gave Brown a Noisy Cricket,. Jay described the cricket as Brown's favorite weapon. Even though he had no memory of being an MiB agent, Kay proves his experience with the cricket. He blew Jeeb's head off, without being hurt or bothered by the recoil. However, he was lying on the floor at the time, so the recoil presumably had no effect.

There is no mention or use of the Cricket in Men in Black 3.
