AvP please! just watched that movie and it was SOOOOO GOOD.
The first clip about "encouraging life" by destroying something, and thus making jobs for countless people is PURE BULLSHIT! It is the "broken window" theory.
They used it to as an excuse for WWII- saying that the war brought prosperity because countless people now had war work. But all of those materials and labor being used on War, deprived peaceful growth and expansion by the same scale.
Well, show me a bad Gary Oldman performance.
@@ArizonaMudKat Well, Oldman is on THE TOP TEN on MY list, which has about a Hundred people on it- but my comments weren't about his performance, but rather about the nature of the concept.
The implication that Mr Shadow was patiently patched through a secretary is a weirdly funny one.
Be evil, be professional, be just enough of nice to others that they respect you, but never consider you weak
Am I............disturbing you?
Yeah,, I hope he wasn't on hold for long.
@@ast-og-losta *Mr. Shadow taps his foot to "The Girl from Ipanema" while on hold*
Honestly if a being of pure evil exists he surely must be a bureaucrat.
Gary oldman.... Never once boring
He's very boring and Star citizen
I won't lie I saw this movie quite a few times before I paid attention to the opening credit and was like "wait..Gary Oldman? Who tf does he play??".
I genuinely saw Zorg. That's it. I never once saw Oldman. He's genuinely the best actor imo. Hands down.
hmmm tinker tinker stinker spy?
Oh and the Batman film
He was exquisitely boring in that :-)
However he has been great in many other films
Get everyone
EVERYONE!!
He was excellent in the professional
I like him in Leon the Professionell
From this clip I would've never guessed that Gary Oldman didn't like being in this movie
Well he did do the movie as a favor for the creator, makes sense.
@@kellykellybumbum oh yes I had heard that. Makes sense, still he killed it
@@skppr4000 he is awesome 😎
But I guess that what makes his acting looks so real like a man full of hate
Gary Oldman is the movie.
I love how even if Oldman hated the movie he gave everything he's got for the role
That's proffesionalism
You hated your job before and still work there didn’t you? Yeah. Except it’s lot of $$ I would still do it anyway.
wait he hates the movie? he has such a fantastic performance in it though and he makes it good
I like Mr. Oldman, but he sounds like an conceited little boy with to much money (high pitch sound), not like a powerfull villain. I like the german deeper voice much more in this role.
Kind of reminds me of Raul Julia really giving full effort into that stupid street fighter movie right before he died. As opposed to Marlon Brando's part in the island of doctor moreau where he just tried his very hardest to give everyone a big middle finger.
Rip to Sir Ian Holm. I honestly don’t know who could’ve done the role of the priest any better.
Casting actors like Gary Oldman and Sir Ian Holm to play serious roles worked in the over-the-top flamboyant Fifth Element.
Derek Jacobi could have replaced Ian Holm and we wouldn't have noticed any difference. Vitto's relationship with his apprentice is very reminiscent of Cadfael and Oswin.
Movies are made by the Character Actors.
@@machiavellianoverture1747 Preach!
Maybe Sean Connery.
"You're a monster Zorg...I know" so much for rationalizing evil.
I love the way he says "i know" 😁
Villains are best when they are lovable, but you still know they are bad.
@@calvacoca I think all his life Zorg had that little voice in his head telling him that what he did was wrong. He had learned to ignore the voice, managed to forget it for a while with all the distractions money can buy...but deep inside Zorg was still human and nothing he ever tried could end the silent pain in the black piece of tar other called a heart.
@@SirMarshalHaig Zorg is simply a capitalistic corporat. They forget the concept of "evil" very fast on their climb to pover, the only thing they know and care about is profit.
Gary Oldman NEVER disappoints. Big role or bit role he puts in 110% and nails it every time.
Lost in Space was, for me, at least, kind of silly but Gary Oldman showed up to work in that & made the effort.
I love Oldman's performance in this film. Zorg is probably one of my favorite villains honestly.
Crooked detective in "Leon" was also amazing. Totally different on spectrum of "Play villain" and yet amazing as well
Have you seen The Professional?. He scared me!.
Let's just agree that most of the best villains are played by GO
I suggest you to watch Leon:Professional
not only evil but funny
Gary Oldman, speaking a French name with a caricaturized southern accent is just *french kiss* amazing
didn't notice the southern accent
Louisiana?
Cajun
He based the accent on business man / politician Ross Perot :)
I think you mean chef's kiss
French kiss is what you do with a lover
you forgot that little scene of Zorg climbing the stairs to his ship, proclaiming, "You want something done? DO it yourself!!"
That's my favorite line of the film. I use it in life all the time.
one of the best scenes!
Nyah!
@@stateofopportunity1286 agreed, best line, so true
And when he lays off a million!
Oldman crushed this like he does all his roles, the man is legend.
this movie was ahead of its time. it still looks phenominal. Everyone did such a smashing job there. Oldman, Mila J. Bruce W, Chris Tucker.... ah. such masterpeace.
You're totally right about the movie. Awesome. Probably seen almost 100 times. Just so you know though, it's Chris Tucker.
*Chris Tucker
"Ahead of its time" is used a lot these days as a synonym for "is still enjoyable today" and they really aren't the same thing. The movie looks great, but it also definitely looks like it was made at the time that it was made. Newness and quality are not interchangeable, but these days calling something old is like calling it bad. I think people will keep saying art was "ahead of its time" when all they mean is "it looks great" as long as this idea persists that all art becomes less good simply because time is moving forward.
I mean you're definitely not alone in your usage of this, I've noticed tons of people lately using "______ was so ahead of its time" to describe stuff that absolutely was not ahead of its time, it was definitely 100% of its time, but is still largely considered to be "good" by today's standards.
You could say it's "aged well" instead. In fact I think the majority of people who say stuff "was ahead of its time" really meant to say it's "aged well", but these days people just say stuff and don't care what it really means anyway, especially if everyone else is also saying it wrong, so I don't know why I even bothered to point this out lol
@@keithfelix6459 you right, it was a brain fart :)
100% so so ahead of it's time
The transition from a hysterical laugh to pure despair at 8:45 gets me every time. Also the little details (“a cherry” voice when he picks up one) are great in this film. A classic.
Also the happy littlle look to the side :"My favourite one"
Hahaha, friggin awesome!
@@AllanMogensen 😌😏
@@AllanMogensen My wife and I have this film as one of our definite favorites, and often cites the oneliners at appropriate moments to our own amusement..
@@beernutsonline Beautiful. I genuinely wish you and your wife the best.
3:00
Imagine being the henchmen outside. The doors start to close as your boss begins a grandiose speech to this feeble old man. A few minutes later the doors open and your boss who looks like hell tosses the old man at you and is referring to the old guy saving his life. I would be so confused as to how so much happened in so little of time
It is like a comedy movie scene.
Saving Zorg's life may not have earned his gratitude, but it did earn one honest response.
I love how many silly desk toys Zorg collects. He might be an insane, selfish villain working for Galactus, but I envy that desk
Gary Oldman is an absolute genius in this film. His performance is right up there with "Bring me everyone. EVERYONE!!!". Nobody does unhinged like Gary Oldman!
That's not in this film.
Gary Oldman never gets old, man.
Actually he did!
Perfect mix of Bolivar Trask and Mr. Burns.
Also, it's hard not to love Gary Oldman's performance. Somehow, he was able to be both threatening and silly at the same time. And it worked perfectly considering how mixed The Fifth Element is.
Yes. The scene with a cherry is one of the best. Being a supervillain he nearly choked with a cherry. While extremely intimidating he is, well, just as fragile as any human after all.
There is not a single bad moment in this movie, according to the only person whose opinion matters: Me.
Really ? Do you really think that all of the Cris Tucker moments are. ‘Good ‘ ? Just curious. Thanks
@@mattkanter1729 cant name one bad one
@DEZZNUTZ 1001 💯 agreed
@@54032Zepol AGREED! I just got to see a screening in a theater again recently and was reminded that Tucker not only was brilliant, but he hit it out of the park - one of the greatest roles in any film I've ever seen (and I can say that for several of the characters in this very film which is indeed nearly perfect in EVERY single moment).
I think the meyhem at the end was a bit exhausting. Same effect on me as the end of Time Bandits. Putting the movie on auto.
One of the best sci-fi films of all time. It's both hated and adored. I can play this a million times.
Gary Oldman is a fucking legend.
Sirius Black, Stansfield, Zorg, Drexl Spivey ... can't decide where he was best. Heck, he even nailed Dracula perfectly
My favorite part of Zorg is still the 'I like a killer' bit.
"I'll tell you what I like though: A Killer. A dyed in the wool, killer. Cold-blooded, clean, methodical, and thorough. Now, a REAL killer when he picked up the Z-F1, would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun."
There's so much character building in that one line. It shows he knows his product, knows the mangalores, and has a sense of intellectual superiority over them without just being 'lol! they dumb!' generic villain that has nothing but contempt.
i always loved how my truck's transmission is a ZF-5... it always makes me giggle... ^.^
@@narmale
But does it come with an arrow launcher (with explosive or poisonous gas heads)?
@@atigerclaw uh, it comes with the ability to spew oil all over everything, sooooo... combine that with a good flame source, and... FLAMETHROWER!!
@@atigerclaw no.... BUT i can emit a massive toxic gas cloud that causes cancer in the state of California... thats something right?!
@@narmale
Low bar. Everything is known to cause cancer in the state of California, including California.
Zorg is a phenomenal shot lol. He hits all of the arrows, which are unguided, straight into that dummy's head firing from the hip.
Maybe it's part of the same Replay System of the gun 😜
He is an "Art" dealer after all. Lol.
Gary Oldman deserves an Oscar for every single one of his roles.
What an actor Gary Oldman is. Everything he does is just superb. The best are chameleons, this man wrote the book.
After all these years - still one of my favorite movies.
The sound that alien pet makes when Zorg hits it always sends me to the moon
I never knew Gary hated this movie, he did such an amazing job.. this is like at the very top of my all time favorite movies.
In fact he said "I didn't understood the role I was making.".
I think he came , never saw the others actors except Ian Holm.
Perhaps he thought his role was smaller but didn't know it was parallel but important story.
He never talks to Milla Jovovich (even whe he tries to kill leeloo , Jovovich is not here) or Bruce Willis , it is strange for the villain of the film.
And he understood Zorg was ridiculous, perhaps Besson didn't tell him before, had his text very late and was not ready for the costume. I think Besson lied him a little about the role.
But , for sure , he made the job.
This movie will always get a 10 of 10 stars from me. Just so damn classic and interesting. The storyline, the plot, the characters absolutely amazing.
You skipped the continuation of the scene where Zorg open the case and sees it is empty, say this, then his subordinate ask "What do you mean empty", at which Zorg reply "Empty, as in - the opposite of full."
Yeah that bothered me too
Leeloo: ahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaah
ahah i had forgotten that bit, xD,
The Fifth Element. I still LOVE that film. Designed by my most favorite European comic creator: Jean Henri Gaston Giraud, aka Moebius.
I saw him briefly in New York once. Sadly, didn't get to talk with him.
With jodorowsky they made magic
Zorg was so proud of the ZF 1 that he was looking forward to his little presentation more than actually checking the stones.
"hehahahahahahahaehhh they're not here😬😬😬" gets me every time 😂
The poor crew constantly having to repair the teeth marks as Gary chews the scenery.
Loved this flick.
@ 2:36 that Jim Henson alien elephant thing starts laughing at Zorg choking, the nuance of this movie is great.
Gary was great in every role. 🙏👍
That laugh at 8:47 gets me every time. It's almost as good as Hamill's Joker laugh.
or James Earl Jones in Flight of Dragons
A true professional through and through. Takes the task he is given and performs to the best of his ability no matter his personal opinion of the agreed-upon assignment. Gary Oldman truly stands above the everyday "actor".
Almost like a killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold-blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Amirite?
Ngl, his sales pitch for the ZF-1 was pretty good. Quick, informative, and with a bit of charm.
What a magnificent actor. This film had some of the best characters in fiction.
1:39
Water.
FRUIT!
A
Cherry
ZF1 still one of the coolest weapons in movies.
Also that choking scene was great he can let him die when he is monster..
I used to dream about a game with that gun in it
Cornelious:You're a monster Zorg
Zorg:I know
Zorg is probably the funniest movie villain EVER!
Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman. They were so skilled at their profession that they were the bad guys we loved to hate.
Shakespearian origin based actors...
Both are fantastic actors and played memorable villains
The INVESTMENT in this film amazes me. So much design, so much visual splash, sets, costumes, all played together with fresh insane humor...and the freaking SCORE.
You missed my favorite scenes. The "I...am...VERY...DISAPPOINTED!!!!"-scene and the "if you want something done....do it yourself!"-scene ;-)
I love how the skyline through Zorg's office round window looks like Coruscant.
People always talk about how great Willis, Ian Holm, Oldman, and everyone else were, and they are right.
BUT -- for me the real star is the writer. The characters and the lines are phenomenal.
The actors could not have been great without great writing.
Also, the casting was also key. The actors can't do great work, unless they are in the movie.
And having Jean Paul Gaultier as costume designer, he even checked every one of the extras, adjusting the hats and accessories ensuring they all were up to his great standard.. Every time I see the movie, I see new small brilliant details..
@@beernutsonline The general look and feel of the movie can't be beat. Maybe the only issue on that end was the parasite things in the "gimme some HEAT" scene. Those looked rather 2-bit compared to everything else in the movie. But costumes, set designs, cinematography, etc. were really on point and really gave a nice fantasy world feel.
I've never seen a movie with more inventive moments. And a killer score. Luc's biggest mistake is not hiring Eric Serra to do the score for Valerium. The last third really needed it.
One of my favorite things about the film is that the protagonist and antagonist are never actually aware of each other. Dallas and Zorg neither see each other, nor interact directly in any way.
I thought he learnt his lesson: Open the case when you take it, not when you leave!
This is Gary’s most memorable role for me.
what an AMAZING character -he absolutely stole the show for me, even amongst the other awesome and strange characters in this brilliant movie.
Dracula in spaaaaaaaacccccceeeee!🤣
I watched the Fifth Element again over the weekend after watching a minute of this. Such a guilty pleasure film
Seen benson’s other movies?
Gary Oldman, uno de los mejores actores del presente. Extraordinario desempeño en este peliculón. Ian Holm, otro actorazo.
I never leave comments and this will just be buried in the pile of obscurity but ... I've watched this movie so many times ... and that little polisher robot with 3 petals that goes "wreer-wreer-wreer" as it starts spinning is my favorite thing in the whole movie.
It is Gary Friggin Oldman - enough said. :)
Gary Oldman was so great in this movie!
And Milla always lovely...
Great movies exist because of great villains.
"Red Heat" !!! The one with Swarzzeneger (not sure if i spelled that correctly)
Entirely villain - driven movie.
They literally spell it out, they're talking about they're characters, but it's very symbolic I think
"Without me, you don't even exist"
-Victor Rosta, Red Heat.
Only because they're crushed by the hero. The greater the villain, the greater the hero.
@@PistonAvatarGuy I tend to disagree. Sorry.
Consider this: (sorry I don't know how the last "Saw" movie ends) but at this point anybody "crushes" Jigsaw, and personally to me, I'm like, yeah he crushed him but so what? Jigsaw is still the mf man.
However this could be seen like an exception to the rule, but I tend to think it's not; it's just not the norm.
Like the G.I. Joe movies for another example, the villain literally escaped from their prison in "G.I. Joe : Retaliation", which in my view diminishes our heros; it takes more than one movie to stop the bad guy. That says more for the villain than the heros, I think.
Than you got your HORROR, where the bad guy usually is the main focus character, in movie franchises like Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween.
I'm no film student btw.
And I do just like those truly villain-driven stories.
"Red Heat" just stands out to me for reason.
@@productwholeslave2122 I've never seen any of those movies. I guess people who are sick in the head might root for villains, but there's no reason why that kind of behavior should be accepted.
not only one of the best villains but one of the best fictitious characters of all time!
This was such a good performance it is easy to miss that this is even Oldman. He should have won an oscar...
Orson Welles should have won one for his Captain Quinlan in Touch Of Evil.
1:10 You'd think an evil genius would be smart enough to not fall for the broken window fallacy
Many brilliant people do not understand this concept you speak of.
Economics is a blind spot among the wise
This movie has always been one of my favorites and more so Gary Oldman. He is just a legend.
Gary Oldman is simply one of the finest actors of our times! Utterly brilliant!
That call with mr shadow is just great.
I can't make out the words though when he starts bleeding.
Except for the last part " I'll see to it personally. "
-------
The script reads "The stones will be there, I'll see to it personally"
But I hear a garbled and quick "I'll bring it to you, I'll see to it personally".
To add - the blood oozing down his face was originally meant to be a screen melting wherein Zorg and Shadow are having a video call
What Zorg didn't seem to get was all life would be destroyed on earth. But Gary Oldman was hilarious in this role.
For a second I thought you said Gary Coleman
@@george5156 Plot twist: Zorg was actually played by three Gary Coleman's in a trench coat.
@@VTBob85 that's a scary though, three Gary Colemans!!!
I salute you! Not many people have the appreciation and perception of great acting and film moments. You are a true film Geek, like yours truly. Like Atlas, Oldman carries this film on his shoulders. Ian Holm needs to be given credit for his understated, but perfect acting.
It’s interesting how Zorg chokes on that cherry.
Earlier in the movie, we see the Italian professor proclaim that you can’t drink a toast with water, and Zorg drank water when he gave that toast.
*There’s* a good reason why you shouldn’t drink a toast with water.
Yeah there are quite a few of these small references.
Zorg was such a great character~
Beep beep beep beep........"OH NO!"
Being a huge fan of SciFi, I am so grateful for this work. Music/Score, Sound Design, Costumes, Screen writing, CGI team, Set Design, any of the multitude of individuals who contributed to this feature, thank you so much for your hard work to create this film, I am still delighted to watch this movie. Its fantastic!
On Gary Oldman not liking performing in this feature,
actually I feel the true 'sign' of any master in their craft, is the ability to create exquisite work, even in an element they are not whole heartedly fond of.
Like a shoe maker making a wonderfully popular sandal even though they are widely known for their sneakers.
I say bravo 👏👏👏 on his characterization of Jean Batiste Emanuel Zorg!
RIP: Sir Ian Holm.🙏
Lol when he tried to get the little elephant thing to help him!
This man made me want to be an actor, I'm now taking steps toward this career. Movies aren't just movies. These people were my heroes. Icons. Oldman, Deniro, Pacino, Kilmer, So so so many more. So So many more. Smell the roses while you have them. I love you.
I wish you luck as the evil villain!
I never followed my dreams so i admire someone that does all the best to you
You can't go wrong studying Oldman's career, even when he's in a bad movie this guy doesn't miss.
GOAT. By far and away the most underrated movie of all the times.
Maybe it wasn't the biggest blockbuster, but I never understood the criticism of this movie. Too colourful? -Get outta here! Too French! Ugh.. and the investors complained that the physical sets would have been cheaper as digital effects. Boo..
I adore this movie so much.
Gary Oldman, one of the most versatile and talented actors of our time.
His take on this villain is magnificent!
this is a Masterpiece. re-watch it like crazy 25 years ago lol.
I don't know why he gave Zorg a southern drawl, but it works.
Man! Gary is one hell of an actor! Gotta love this man!
This man should have 7 Oscars by now......and for those who havent seen it should check him in True Romance .... Small role but great character ..one of Samuel Jackson's earlier roles too...
My dad nicknamed me zorg because my default response to everything is "I know"
"Honour's killed millions of people, hasn't saved a single one." Good line
I saw this movie in a theater 9 times in one week - I just couldn't get enough of it! 🤪
this is a perfect example of how to do a Lawful Evil character, and is my personal favorite.
Zorg had the same haircut as Hitler with a gotee rather than the mustache.
And walks like Hitler (left hand at back)
Except for the half plastic
When the PC forbids it
Exactly! i've always thought I was the only one who saw that.
The brilliance of this film evaded me as a teen. I only watched it for you know who.
Bruce Willis?
Tucker in his wig , wearing his leopard onesie? 🤔😂
One of my favorite movies of all time! The fith element! Was LOVE!!!! Hahahaha 😂!
Not only was the script and casting superb , But the realist gritty versus modern urban undertone kept it balanced. And so many details about the tech have become reality that some people don't realize that they didn't exist yet. One that desparately NEEDS to exist is the automatic sleep inducer .At least for serious problem passengers for the safety of everyone involved.
“What the hell am I supposed to do with an empty case?” “Hahahaha they’re not here” Favorite line
4:30 Mah favorit.
Zorg : "If you want something done, do it yourself"
One of the famoust qoutes ever.
I'm watching this, looking for traces of Sirius Black, or Commissioner Gordon, and not finding any. The best actor I've ever seen.
Well there are some tiny little nuances to be found...
As drexl when he opens the envelope and its empty
The little wink here and there..
Nevertheless one of the greatest ever, absolutely
@@ppvk2610 What I would love to see is a movie with Oldman and John Turturro, playing opposing spies, who have change into different disguises throughout the story to hide from each other.
I remember absolutely loving this movie
The way he turns his head and ( seemingly talking to us, the audiance ) says "My favorite!"
A Legend at its best
Such a goofy film. I miss films being this fun
Oldman directed ‘Nil By Mouth’ an underrated indie classic, a story about his own growing up. The guys a brilliant quiet achiever, rare in the Hollywood set.
Love it. One of my favorite fairy tales of all time.
