  • The Fifth Element features an iconic performance from Chris Tucker, but his part almost went to someone very different. From off-screen relationships to thoroughly detailed design work, this is the untold truth of a '90s sci-fi classic.

    The 5th Element is definitely one of my most favorite Sci-fi movies.

  • @Readus1234

    One of the best Sci-fi movies ever made with a mixed of action and comedy at the same time.

      Not sure I would say best but definitely in the top 10 for sure. Originally I _hated_ it at first for how over the top it was. Once I realized that was intentional after a few more viewings it grew on me; the opera scene became one of favorite HT speaker tests.
      RIP Ian Holm, Luke Perry, Brion James, Tommy Lister, John Neville, John Bluthal, Sonny Caldinez. You were all part of something special.

      Spot on! Great cast! I love how Gary Oldman played it. All the ogrs were hilarious Specially the gun test / delivery scene. :D Bruce? Funny version of "Die Hard". Yummy, Milla so beautiful!
      Scenography, like the idea of no gravity in the city and 3 dimensionall motorways, mixing some ancient past and the future. Great story told. Really had a blast watching this.

    Great movie with a bit of a twist. The hero and the villain don't meet or speak at any time. They aren't even really aware of each other. There's a close moment towards the end of the movie but it never quite happens.

    @Sarappreciates Před rokem +36

    _Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets_ was the "sequel" to _The 5th Element._ At least, that's how I watched it. They both feel and look like 2 different places and moments in time within the same universe. I've seen several Luc Besson films, but _The 5th Element_ is his masterpiece.

    • @Laz2022

      Valerian is based on a french comics, but it's kind of a spiritual sequel in a way.

  • @RJMalabanan
    @RJMalabanan Před rokem +11

    Couldn't imagine any other actor/actress playing Leeloo and Ruby Rhod. Chris Tucker was hilarious and Milla Jovovich's prelude to Resident Evil franchise! Definitely a superb casting choice for these two.

    @JediRevanMunro Před rokem +11

    The name of the character Diva Plavalaguna is also the name of hotel resort in Poreč, Croatia called Plava Laguna. Luc visited the resort when he was young and that why he named the blue alien Diva Plavalaguna.

    One of the best movies ever made, period.
    When doing Imaging Science Foundation Training we used this movie (and others) to illustrate examples of stunning videography that we learned to adjust projectors and displays to maximize. Stunning. This movie set video standards for decades. And it was entertaining and years ahead of its time.

I'll give her a role as a blue thing as a way of saying thanks and don't let the door hit you on the way out. Yeah, she'll do until she gets older!"

    How I wish to watch a comparable masterpiece in the few next few years. At the time, the Fifth Element blew my mind, as only Avatar 1 did, at least in the SF genre. When I went to watch Avatar 2 I lost all my hope. Call me a pessimist, but I don't think the movie industry - nowadays - is potent enough to produce such a vital movie. In fact, the movie industry appears more and more like a decaying corpse in search of money, and I say so just to give a surreal idea that this industry has accustomed us to believe in (the possibility of being factual). Well, at least we have 5th.

    Monsters, props, backgrounds, spaceships and cars and many lines/references small details and more are from 20+ years of sci-fi movies and sci-fi TV series. Part of the fun when it came out was to see how many you could spot. the more times you see it the more you find. ''Hans Solo tried to kiss Princess Leia, she had a gun'. Tribbles falling out of a hatch Star Trek . City is Blade Runner. blue singer and small animals are Star Wars. Beginning is Stargate. drawing pictures was 3rd Encounter. big gold monster at the start is Kosh in Babylon 5. big and small scenes parodies. Bruce Willis movie parodies, many more
