🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To THE FIFTH ELEMENT (1997) - FIRST TIME WATCHING - MOVIE REACTION!

[@TheNeonParadox]

The Fifth Element is a timeless movie. It was one of the first live-action movies to mix cyberpunk and action-adventure together, as opposed to the classic noir style of the sub-genre.

[@hackerx7329]

I thin Tron might get counted as the first one while Blade Runner also came out in 82 it definitely leaned hard into noir style.

[@iron-thorne]

I consider it a modern Space Opera

[@TheNeonParadox]

@@hackerx7329 That's why I said "One of." I certainly prefer the noir style, but movies like Tron and Fifth Element took it to another level.

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Die Hard...not Lethal Weapon....

[@mikhar]

@@iron-thorne I also fail to see how this movie is cyberpunk; no digital implants, no computers everywhere, not really dystopian... Space opera is a perfect descriptor. Edit: there are some implants on the lab techs, I guess. Not sure it’s enough to classify it as cyberpunk.

[@timreno72]

There's a very tiny independent movie that hardly anybody has ever heard of called 'Die Hard' that might be worth checking out.

The Fifth Element is one of the best movies ever made. It has it all, a great script, awesome cast playing fantastic characters, mesmerizing sets/costumes, action, adventure, cgi, special effects, comic relief and romance. The cinema photography is brilliant, the soundtrack is captivating and the editing is second to none! A truly spectacular film in every way! I've watched The Fifth Element more times than I can count and it has yet to get old. Glad you took the time to watch The Fifth Element. I'm writing this at the very start and I can already see you're going to love it, it is a wonderful roller coaster ride.

Fun Fact, Chris Tuckers role was written with Prince in mind, he was originally cast for the role but scheduling conflicts made him drop out, so if you consider how Chris played the role it was because of who the role was originally designed for.

[@Mr-gg8ek]

“The Sixth Sense” is the best film in which Bruce Willis stars. It is one of the greatest films ever.

[@alexflores7652]

Cool factoids: The guy playing Gen. Monroe was played by Bryon James he was in Blade Runner as Leon the replicant. The Voice was voiced by Vin Diesel but he was not in the credits. The president was played by Zeus "Tiny" LIster he was Debo in the Friday and one of the Gen. was played by Sgt. Apone: Al Matthews. Oh almost forgot one of the cops was in a great British SCI FI show called Red Dwarf hes was Capt. McAllister.

[@FollowingGhost]

When the ship arrives in the beginning it is 1914 (corrected thanks to another viewer) in the middle of nowhere. No internet, no cell phone, no instant communication, no television. No people all over the world wouldn't know a thing. The language they use was written by the director and it was good enough that he and Milla could have conversations with it.

[@iKvetch558]

Minor correction...the ship arrives before WW1...in 1914. So even more so like you described. ✌💯

[@FollowingGhost]

@@iKvetch558 thanks I'll fix it. I do like having the facts correct.

[@georgeizcazu152]

My favourite Bruce Willis films are: The Sixth Sense(1999), Unbreakable(2000), followed by Split(2016) and Glass(2019) ( it's a trilogy ), then Sin City(2005), 12 Monkeys(1995), Die Hard(1988), RED(2010), 16 Blocks(2006). And another good film by Luc Besson is Leon the Professional(1994), also with Gary Oldman and he's very good in that. Edit: Bruce also had good roles in: Tears of the Sun(2003), Surrogates(2009), Tom Hart's War(2002).

[@brendaleeirizarry1724]

16 Blocks is soo underrated

[@JoshuaBloom01]

Not sure you can classify Split as a Bruce Willis movie. More of a James McAvoy movie. Calling it a Bruce Willis movie is like calling Back to the Future 2 a Crispin Glover movie.

[@elbruces]

The guy who works for Zorg was played by DJ Tricky.

[@mikemath9508]

I appreciate you keeping it "authentic" If somebody has seen the movie before, it's not a reaction.

[@Mortismors]

Bruce Willis is hilarious in Blind Date. It almost ended his career until he did Die Hard.

[@chris...9497]

So director Luc Besson released "The Fifth Element" in 1997, showing how he imagined the 23rd Century on Earth. 20 years later, in 2017, he released "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets", which takes us further into the interplanetary future of the 28th Century. "Valerian" got panned when it came out, but then it also took a while for "5th Element" to be understood and accepted when it was first released. And both films grow on you with each time you watch. I would recommend you do a reaction to "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets", if only to see how director Besson's vision had developed over that 20 years.

[@CamillusFly]

OMG if you haven't seen the *_The Sixth Sense_* with Bruce Willis, you're _really_ missing out on a classic. That and the Fifth Element are my two favorite Bruce Willis films.

[@13Jared]

Bruce Willis was in 12 Monkeys which is one of my favorite movies.

[@kennethcook9406]

Fun tidbit of info, all of the "blood" oozing from the human characters heads (the ship captain and Zorg) was actually chocolate syrup.

[@wompa70]

Ruby Rhod is the best character ever! Funny thing about this movie is that the protagonist (Dallas) and the antagonist (Zorg) never even know about each other. This is a 10 outa 10 for me. I've watched it as many times as I've seen Raider and Jaws.

[@Elevatedzebra96]

Milla jovovich (woman) is in resident evil, John Maljković is the attendant, Chris tucker is the show host, the priest plays Bilbo Baggins among other things, and the president is the king pin in pulp fiction.. there’s a ton of good actors in this..

[@aliciasavage6801]

That evil guys assistant who he blows him up at the airport when they won't let him on the plane is the musician Tricky and many of the misc characters (along with the main one, leelu) are models from the late 90's

[@A2Z83]

Im not big into action movies. He was an action star for a while. I know him for Sixth Sense and Unbreakable

[@cstowe81]

The Language they speak was first created by the Director. He and Milla Jovovich (Leeloo) just continued expanding the language as they filmed and wrote more dialogue.

[@kristinabc1143]

My partner and I felt an instant connection when we both realized our fav movie is The 5th Element 😂😂 cannot wait to see your reaction!

[@philmullineaux5405]

Bruce was homeless and living out of a telephone booth when he got the tv show, Moonlighting. A great show, basically a repeat of Cary Grant comedies from the 40s and 50s. His breakout movie was ,Diehard! The first 3 are good. U also have Look who's talking(he plays a baby!), Blind date, 17 blocks, unbreakable,⁶th sense, Armageddon,harts war, sin city, red,looper,the kid, bandits, lucky number Slevin,The Last boyscout, tears of the sun, the Whole 9 yards-excellent!- and lots of other good movies!

[@Tampahop]

This was my first time seeing Milla Jovovich. She is both beautiful and talented. She started out as a model but eventually switched to movies. She has become the face of the Resident Evil franchise. She also has a daughter that looks exactly like her who is also a model. I wonder where the cloning factory is. 😁

[@temporalwizard]

This is a fun movie! I recently saw it in the theater. They were showing it for its twenty-fifth anniversary.

[@lassesipila6418]

23:00 Fun little detail here: Back at the nucleolab when they had what you correctly identified as Leeloo's hand, that hand was grabbing a handle.

I love this movie. The action is fun, the comedy is good, and has a good message overall. I love the opera scene combined interspersed with the fighting scenes. This is a 10/10 movie for me.

[@LA_HA]

Misty Y: It was a little annoying to see him laughing throughout the entire scene, making fun of one of the most epic scenes in the movie; and laughing at the diva character. But, not everyone is going to like or be interested in the same things, in the same way. But, I'm just salty because I remember seeing that scene for the first time and being amazed. haha

[@vickiz6076]

I LOVE this movie! My sons were 5 & 6 when we got this on video, I was strict about what they could watch … example no horror, sex, lots of violence…but this had my OK. The only thing that I had an issue with was when Chris Tucker was going down on the stewardess…. I told them he was tickling her feet..lol. They say they still laugh when they watch that part!

I love the same between Lilo questioning why should she protect or save after she researched war it put a lot of perspective into who she is and it actually was a really good scene I love that scene she questions you huhow does she get asked you to do everything you build you destroy it made a lot of sense it's one of my favorite scenes in the movie

Kabir! Great to see the channel growing so much. Been here since like 5k subs, keep up the good work bro!

[@RedHood410]

The actor who played the junkie that tried to Rob Bruce actually made him break character a bit. That's why he smiled at him after he was like "I don't need it!" He was legit trying to hold back his laughter.

[@richardcramer1604]

Kibir, what made you think the President was on a space ship? He is and throughout the whole movie on Earth in his office/command center. When he talks to his Admiral/General (on the ship) he is doing so via radio not face to face as he would do if he were on the ship with the Admiral. Bruce Willis has done many great movies, he started his career on a TV show (Moonlighting) but really didn't become a movie star until he did his breakout movie 'Die Hard". My favorite movies by Bruce in my opinion are: The Sixth Sense, The Fifth Element, 3 Die Hard movies (1, 3 and 4), Pulp Fiction, Unbreakable, Sin City, The Whole Nine Yards and Red. Two movies I liked which the critics hated are Hudson Hawk and The Jackal.

[@DougWilliams06]

Bruce Willis co-starred in a romantic, noire, detective, comedy series called Moonlighting back in the 80s. It was the hottest show for a quick second and his career took off from there. He’s still the guy from Moonlighting to me.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

A few Bruce Willis movies to watch: Looper, Color of Night, Corrective Measures, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Glass, Death Wish (remake), Sin City, Moonrise Kingdom, RED, Surrogates, The Whole Nine/Ten Yards, The Jackyl, Mercury Rising, 12 Monkeys, Striking Distance, Death Becomes Her, and Look Who's Talking. That should keep you busy.

Concerning its memories, they lead you to believe that because of its (her) dense genetic structure, memories and knowledge are the reason: genetic memory. From birth, let’s say, she would already know everything she needs to complete her mission. What she wouldn’t know would be local knowledge (cultural) but could learn at an accelerated rate.

Though he's done a ton of action, Bruce has great timing and his physical comedy is fantastic.

For more of comedic Bruce - Whole Nine Yards, Cop Out, and Hudson Hawk.
