The hero and the villain never meet and don't even know about each other's existence.

It's one of my favourite films. Ever. I can't articulate it better than that. And I don't want to. It's f'cking wonderful

13:24 Watched this movie many times. Just now watching this review realized that the evil orb that turned to stone at the end looks just like out moon (seen in the distance). Could it be that this suggests that our moon was the first orb that was sent thousands of years prior?🤔

I'm always surprised Gary Oldman hates talking about this movie. You watch this you figure this is a case of an actor having the time of his life hamming it up.

They originally wanted prince to play Ruby Rose, he declined because he wanted to use his own wardrobe. Chris tucker nailed the audition but went to prince to ask for permission to take the role.

Fun fact: The robber with the hat is played by Mathieu Kasowitz, a director of Amélie :D

One of Gary Oldman’s greatest roles (the other one is Batman Begins 😂). Crazy. Whacky. Unhinged. Misunderstood. The maniacal laugh for not getting the stones gets me every time!

Ah yes, the film that made 'multipass' part of the general lexicon. Also possibly the most fabulous/ridiculous that Chris Tucker has ever looked.

Thanks for doing this one, RedEye. A true sci fi classic.

Fun fact: a viking once engraved "Erik was here" on one of the Constantinople Cathedral wall.

Originally the Chris Tucker character was supposed to played by Prince

The accent for the aliens in the beginning is so unique. Out of all the accents out there... how the hell did you just do that on a whim? Hahaha

I think the cigarette idea is that the filter was like 90% of the cigarette because it's the future... makes em healthier...

Ending on a poop joke was a bold choice, but it paid off in spades. Heh heh heh, poop.

I heard that Beam comes from a bar in Thailand....

It used to read "if this is clear enough for you to read, you are now pissing in an angle of 15° and your shoe"

Back in the day, the five elements were Earth fire wind water, and quintessence. Quintessence is what the heavens were made out of

Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time.

The ponytail lady with Ruby at 9:21 is Mia Frye, the dance choreographer who created the Macarena dance. She's also in the music video for it.

one of a very few of my guilty pleasure endlessly rewatchable movies(T2, Shawshank redemption, Forest Gump -among couple dozen others) is this absolute masterpiece. Silly and uplifting, funny and heartwarming - Bruce was perfect for that role, young Mila fit into Liloo like a glove, not to mention cartoonishly evil Gary Oldman and ridiculously wierd Chris Tucker. Luc Besson puts out gems(this and professional) among garbage(Lucy) but all in his unique style!

I can remember going to watch this in the cinema as a kid

One of my favorite childhood classics.

One of the single greatest SciFi movies of all time.. I got the VHS boxset which came with a _huge_ coffee table book of *incredible* artwork and the BTS story of the Production One of the most fascinating universes ever committed to celluloid ❤ _"You want some more?"_ Yes. Yes I do.

He's not only the best option, He is the only option.

One of the best movies ever

15:04 *OIM BILLY KIMBAH! OIH RUN DA ROICES!*

Love the series and HEY! FINALLY ALMOST AT 50K subs!!11!! Great cause this year as well. Awful disease but the least we can do is keep the research going with some donations. Cheers!

A bona fide all-time classic

HAHAHA pure gold 😂.. it's assault unless it's animated 😂

Love your work 🤣

Thanks for the decades of entertainment Bruce!

I was 16 when this movie came out. I had just started my first real relationship with a girl and we decided to go and see this opening weekend. My eyes were glued to the screen so much that I didn't realize halfway through the movie my date had fallen asleep. I'll never know how she was able to do it but I was in love with this film from day one and still watch it yearly.

If you REALLY love ole' Willy Willis you should do the Twilight Zone episode where Willis plays HIMSELF twice! It is Glorious in his young 80's prime... do it, I dont care what you planned or wrote scripts for, you will do this now

I love this live action remake of Heavy Metal! So much fun!

The Fifth Element is a bit of a strange movie, even for sci fi, but it is surprisingly good. Now and then there is talk about a possible sequel but I really have no idea how that would work (and odds are good it would be terrible) even if Bruce Willis hadn't retired.

One of the greats.

Gary Oldman is not Little Finger, Aiden Gillen is. Gary Oldman is better known for playing Dracula, Beethoven, Sirius Black etc

I totally forget this film had a plot.

Surprised that the fifth element was also not just some more poopy.

This one is great because it goes all out as a Sci-Fi action hero movie (playing the heroes as both reluctant hero and ass kicker who is also a sort of damsel in distress), but it doesn't take itself too seriously. A big reason I don’t like movies now is because they make movies like this but played straight. They don't make fun, silly movies like this anymore. It had a few progressive angles, one rather odd. "Wow the powerful hero is a girl!" wasn't really a big deal anymore when this came out but Rhuby Rhod or however that's spelled was obviously the first live streaming trans influencer. And following Back to the Future it was another movie that used a black president as an indicator of what the future will look like. I was never clear if it was supposed to be dystopian and authoritarian or not though. You had pleasure cruises with Alien divas, but Korben Dallas' world was clearly modeled after the dystopian New York in the movie Heavy Metal.

Saw this in theater with my best friend. Became his favorite film. Man...I was more of a Starship Troopers kinda guy. We agreed on Alien Resurrection and Gattaca 😂. It was the big cheesy costumes, the hairstyles 😂Chris Tucker's dildo hair 😂Bruce Willis's character definitely ripped off Frank Miller's Hard-Boiled comic and Heavy Metal

Love this movie

I freaking love this movie

This movie is the closest to Star Wars as you can get without being Star Wars. The only difference is this movie is fun, like how Star Wars used to be before the fans got jobs writing for Star Wars.

Is the aftd funding his treatment?

Funny!

For some reason I had to find out if there is a penis hieroglyph, there is

Multipass.

Forget Resident Evil...Milla Jovovich is so HOT in this movie. And it's the first movie where she does that highly annoying birth screamy thing which for some reason she repeated multiple times in later movies. But this movie is epic despite the annoying gay game show host guy.

3:49 how dare you just gloss over the beat scene of the movie. Gimme the CASH!!

Am I the only one having audio issues?

It’s so very…. French.

The Fifth Element is hated so much by Gary Oldman. He didn't understand why he was there, and honestly, Im the same way. I don't understand why ANY of the actors were there filming this garbage. it's one of the biggest wastes of film ever to be made. I give it a -5000 out of 10.

I did not like this movie, I should have ,but I just didn't, absolutely hhhaaaattteeeddd Chris Tucker, the Diva lady was stupid, I liked the character design, and some of the aesthetic. I just did not like it.
