    I took my kid brother to see this in the theater. My mom had asked me previously, "Hey, this movie isn't inappropriate, right?". I told I was sure it was fine, it's just a fun PG13 scifi movie. Little did I know that Milla Jovovich was gonna be popping of her top multiple times. I told my brother after the movie that there was no need to go mentioning that bit to mom. And he never did! Fast forward like 25 years and I get a phone call from my mom. She had just watched the movie and was calling me to lecture me about having taken my 13 year old brother to it. My defense was that of course I had no idea. But it was almost as funny of a situation as the plot to this movie! 😂😂😂

    What makes this movie great is that its entirely self-aware and over-the-top, and that's the point. The plot embraces its own absurdity, and leans into its own campy humor. Willis, Tucker, Jovovich, Oldman, Holm, and Lister as the President were well-cast in their roles.

  • @FeaturingRob
    @FeaturingRob หลายเดือนก่อน +28

    This is one of my favorites. Anytime it's on TV, I just let it play. My favorite line is: "Uhh, negative. I am a meat popsicle."
    Director Luc Besson developed the Universal Language that Leeloo speaks. He started developing the story as a teenager, including the language. Milla Jovovich had to learn the language, and she could converse with Besson in that language (which probably led to their marriage later, but they divorced after a few years). The language has a dictionary of around 400 words.
    The Diva, Pavalaguna, was played by Besson's then-girlfriend, Maiwen Bescoe, but it was a big secret who played the role for years. No one knew until they released a special edition DVD with an extensive set of BTS features, including a documentary on the making of the movie. She did not sing the song, though. The entire thing was recorded by an Albanian soprano named Inva Mula. It was recorded in pieces. The first part was the aria "Il Dolce Suono," often called the "mad scene" from the opera Lucia Di Lammermoor by Donizetti. "The Dive Dance" was written by film composer Eric Serra and was recorded in pieces and then put together to sound complete. It was written to be unsingable. A few operatic sopranos have managed to do it in one go and post the results on TH-cam.
    Chris Tucker was not the first choice for the role of Ruby Rhod. The late music legend Prince was first choice and wanted to play the part but had prior touring commitments that could not be changed so that he could take the role. This is why Ruby has such flamboyant costumes, designed by uber-designer Jean-Paul Gaultier.
    The overall production design for the film was done by two heroes of Luc Besson's. French comic book artists Jean "Moebius" Giraud and Jean-Claude Mézières, whose work in the science fiction realm had inspired much of the original story as Besson created it as a teen. In particular, Jean-Claude Mézières comic Valerian and Laureline inspired The Fifth Element. Based on that comic, Besson would later make the film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) with Dale DeHaan, Cara Delevigne, and Rihanna. It's not the best, but it is fun with some fantastic visuals.

    One of my favourite little details in this movie is that Zorg going to Phloston saved everyone in THREE different ways.
    A) If he hadn't set his own bomb, the bomb detector wouldn't have gone off with enough time for everyone to get out. (The other bomb was only a 5 second countdown)
    B) If he hadn't come back, they wouldn't have had a ship to escape on.
    C) Disarming HIS bomb gave them the extra few seconds to escape from the second bomb (Which almost got them).

    Luc Besson wrote the storyline for this movie when he was a teenager (so even younger than Matt Damon, who started writing "Good Will Hunting" at university). He really did invent that language, him and Milla were actually speaking it also off-camera. Most of the extras in this movie were real supermodels.
    I love these cuts between the scenes and consider it one of the top-10 best movies ever made.

    One of my favorite sci-fi movies. It's just so over the top yet is engaging. Gary Goldman is such a terrific actor, his variety of characters portrayed is so vast. Here he is as Zorg, he was Dracula, then Winston Churchill....brilliant. The character lineup is not what anyone would come up with in the traditional sense lol. All the side stories intertwined perfectly & with the characters as well. You asked for other sci-fi films with special effects, here's my #1 suggestion; "Metropolis". Don't let the fact it's a silent film from 1927 scare you away. It's absolutely fantastic & the effects are mesmerizing. Additionally, it poses a great thought-provoking storyline as well. Hope you consider it. Enjoying your channel, you have some very good commentary.

    That young man who is bored in the 80's was a very famous actor that all the girls wanted, Luke Perry. Take a look at his biography and be amazed.
    Milla Jovovich, the Supreme Being, the Fifth Element, five years after this film began a series of films in which she can be enjoyed much more: Resident Evil.
    You may think it's a cool detail, but lights coming out of the ground during an alarm can only cause a lot of people to trip, adding to the chaos.

    "Are you classified as human?"
    "Negative, I am a meat popsicle."
    Fun Fact: The wonder on Bruce Willis' face when the Diva (Maïwenn) sings is real. That was the first time he'd heard it and seen the actress in full make-up.
    Big Bada Boom Fact: The explosion in the Fhloston main hall was the largest indoor explosion ever filmed. The resulting fire almost went beyond control. It took twenty-five minutes to put out.
    Lost In Translation Fact: The "Divine Language" spoken by Leeloo, was invented by co-writer and director Luc Besson and further refined by Milla Jovovich, who had little trouble learning and developing it, as she was already fluent in four languages. The language had only four hundred words. He and Milla Jovovich held conversations, and wrote letters to each other in the language as practice. By the end of filming, they were able to have full conversations in this language.
    Bad Timing Fact: The hero, Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), and the villain, Jean Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (Gray Oldman), never meet, nor do they communicate with each other in any way. They are aware of each other (Korben used to work for Zorg's company and Zorg knows that Korben won the contest) but they are unaware of the other's involvement in the main plot (getting the stones). The only time they appear in the same scene together is at the end when Korben flees towards Fhloston's hotel's hangar while Zorg is just returning from it. They pass but just miss one another putting them in the same shot together for just a few frames.
    Music Enthusiast Fact: Diva Plavalaguna (Maïwenn) sings the "Il dolce suono" aria from the opera, Lucia de Lammermoor. It is one of the most difficult arias because of its length, its soaring arpeggios, and the high F above high C. When composer Éric Serra showed soprano Inva Mula (who dubs the voice of the Diva) the sheet music for the Diva Dance, she reportedly smiled and relayed to him that some of the notes written were not humanly possible to achieve, because the human voice cannot change notes that fast. Hence, she performed the notes in isolation, one by one, as opposed to consecutively singing them all together, and they digitized the notes to fit the music. There are a few moments when you can hear the differences in the vocal tones of the Diva's voice. It has since been done for real by several singers.

      Predator fact : Besson (director) started dating and grooming Maïwenn (the diva) as she was 15 and he was 31. He broke up with her and started dating Mila Jovovich(leeloo) after shooting the fifth element. It is believed and believable that Leon (another of the movies he directed) was partly inspired by the relation with the teenager. So he's a big PoS.

      I don't know if many North Americans completely understood that scene back in 1997, but hardly any get it at first watch today(I do, but I'm a history nerd). I figure Luc Besson, being continental French, assumed it would all be obvious to all audiences.

    Hiya Maplenuts! Fellow Canadian, here!
    As Canadians, it would be fitting for you to react to a series that is shot in Canada, right? ;-]
    And since you made a point of mentioning that you are both big fans of sci-fi and special FX, this is right up your alley.
    The show is "The Expanse" - A six season masterclass in modern storytelling. It is based on a series of novels, and the authors are involved throughout all six seasons. The show had been called 'Game of Thrones in space' by many... that's how intricate the worldbuilding is. And the space effects are second to none! (Trust me, I've been watching science fiction for over 60 years, so when I tell you this is second to none, I really mean it.)
    The series is not for the faint of heart, and because it is so well made, it has little left in the budget for superfluous stuff like explaining things before they happen -- no hand-holding here, so your full attention is required.
    The first season is a developing mystery, as it builds a most believable world around you. And for the second and third seasons, I highly recommend you have your chairs fitted with seatbelts! ;-]
    The writing, the acting, the production values... everything coming together to make you feel for the future.

    Fun fact that song the Blue singer performs is called Diva's Dance. It was designed not be sung by an actual human. And of course singers took that as a challenge. I don't think anyone has done it 100% accurate yet but a few have gotten close enough that it's basically good enough. There's a nice video on here that collected a bunch of people's attempts at it.

    The funky part of the Diva Opera was actually written to not be humanly possible to where you have to use synthesized notes to pull it off, but a few people can actually do it. I think the spike grenade actually influenced the design on Halo III because it was 10 years before that game came out. Haven't seen this movie in a min. and just realizing the priest is Bilbo from LotR. That's the dude from There's Something About Mary 28:20 wild.
