The costumes are designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, and many of the female cast - including Milla Jovovich - were legit supermodels.

[@j9lorna]

Exactly this. That's why everything was so fashion-y.

[@commanderkruge]

Yes, Gaultier designed the costumes, but his designs - like the sets - were based on the work of French comic artist Moebius. In particular his "Incal" series. The whole movie is like a love letter to his art.

[@carlesmacuaid]

It doesn't matter how genius Jean-Paul Gaultier is or how many accolades he gets, to me he'll always be one of the co-presenters of Eurotrash

What I always find hilarious about this movie is that the hero, Dallas, and the Villain, Zorg, never meet or speak to each other. On top of that Dallas worked for Zorg's cab company and was fired by him, still without knowing each other or interacting whatsoever.

[@bannonstanks]

Never realized it was Zorg's company. Thanks for that tidbit.

[@shack8110]

WHY did Zorg want to help the evil thing? He was just brainwashed or promised a gazillion dollars? It's the only thing that I ever questioned about this awesome film.

[@x340x]

@@shack8110 he was evil power-hungry corporate magnate, he kinda explains it before he started choking on the cherry. The evil reaching earth didnt necessarily mean all people would die in an instant, i think it was a bit more metaphorical, basically the would would end eventually but by evil deeds like wars etc. thats why he invented the swiss-army-knife guns, he would be selling those during war times making more money - or reason n.2, he was evil person with means to do the job, so THE Evil could control him more than other people so he was just used without being able to say no really. the exact reason is not actually explained but its kinda implied.

[@solesoulsorrow]

That's what I love about this film too! Most of the time there is a big showdown at the end. What other action film has the main protagonist and antagonist just miss each other!?!

[@renfreak]

Fully aware the hero and villain never meet, the filmmakers hilariously tease us with one single shot of them together during the hotel evacuation. Dallas carrying Leeloo steps into the elevator while Zorg glances at it as the door is closing and continues on.

[@mr.buttram2837]

The reason Lilu loses her shit when shes revived isnt from the light. Her last memory was dying in a shipwreck and she wakes up naked in a tube surrounded by strangers.

[@logandarklighter]

Yeah - picked up on that the 2nd time I saw the film. (First time I was just kinda... overwhelmed by the whole thing and wasn't really THINKING about any of it.)

[@vinnylewis9245]

The reason this film is so good is because it's truly its own thing. It's quirky as hell and embraces it. It's funny, it's got great set designs, weird costumes, a good pace, eclectic music including a light-hearted beat during some of the quiet comedy moments.

[@DouglasJohnson.]

This was like an issue of "Heavy Metal" from the 80s, brought to life. It was a wild experience seeing this in the theaters!

[@GenXDaddyO]

I would love to see them react to Heavy Metal! I was around 11 years old when I saw it and it blew my mind!

[@commanderkruge]

Well, the movie is based on the works of Girauld, aka. Moebius - while it has it's own story the general world design has a lot of his "Incal" comic series. And Moebius did also publish in Metale Hurlante, the magazine - so you're not wrong. :D Actually Girauld worked on this movie as a set designer himself, so basically he got to work on a hommage to himself. :D

Fashion designer *Jean Paul Gaultier* did the costume design for this film. That's why the cloths look so outrageous. Also the film is directed by Luc Besson who also directed LEON:THE PROFESSIONAL and LA FEMME NIKITA

[@chrisleebowers]

Also, he cast models in place of certain bit parts and background extras, just because.

[@Fmanzo10]

And Valerian: City of a thousand planets. Which is very reminiscent of this in terms of design.

[@cdsmith1990]

Besson's also a bit of a nonce ;/

[@Spiral_Dancer]

Fun fact. Ruby Rod was originally imagined to be played by Prince (who turned the role down). When the original outfit designs were presented to Chris Tucker, he apparently refused because they were too garish. So they showed him a "new" set of designs that were even more extreme so he went with the originals.

[@lancourt]

Possibly the weirdest movie put together that actually works. They pile more and more weirdness, but in the world it just WORKS. Great movie

[@davidnorton6400]

Possibly the weirdest reaction I've ever heard the never ending sexual connotations get really boring. Watch a porno it's more your style.

[@JasonCone]

I saw this in the theater when it came out and there was a group of young (high school aged) black guys sitting behind us. In my mind this movie is inseparably linked with their reactions and commentary, which made the movie even more hilarious. For example, in the diva singing scene they were dying laughing, and one of them commented "Oh shit...Octopus lady be twitching..." You probably had to be there, but man I was almost crying I was laughing so much.

[@bannonstanks]

I had the same reaction when I went to a midnight showing of Pulp Fiction, on opening weekend. If you've seen it, during the infamous scene with Marcel and Zed, one lady behind me said. "Aw, HELL NO! Somebody gotta f--- up that white boy." I was rolling.

[@iOmegaTron]

[@chamberofprogress5025]

This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi films that isn't Star Wars or Star Trek. Hugely underrated and wildly imaginative. I always love it when I'm in the mood to watch this one because I always walk away feeling satisfied. I love the inspiration director Luc Besson drew from old French Heavy Metal comics, just as Ridley Scott did for 'Alien.' I'm not sure, but I wonder if Ron Cobb worked on the set design for this film as well.

[@commanderkruge]

He was indeed inspired by Heavy Metal. Specifically by one artist in it: Moebius. The whole set design is pretty much from his "Incal" comic series. (actually Moebius himself worked on the movie as well). Moebius (aka Girauld) also worked on Alien - he designed the spacesuits - and on Tron. He did a highly praised Silver Surfer album for Marvel and in the documentary about him ("Moebius Redux" - you can find it here on youtube) you'll hear Stan Lee load the highest praise upon his art.

[@d3l3tes00n]

I love how they created this entire universe, but never explain any of it & yet it works. You believe this is a real world. It's a lot like how Fury Road was executed.

[@TheClassicWorld]

I did see some Star Wars elements in there. Not sure if that's a joke or random. Not a fan of Star Trek, though. I'd also say there are a few other very fun or notable sci-fi movies: such as 2001, A.I., I, Robot, Terminator, and a few others.

[@beetlebob4675]

Stargate is another good one. But I'm biased cause I'm a big fan of the TV series. 😂

Chris Tucker's character was the first "influencer."😅😂😂🤣😂👏🏾

[@ChodTheWacko]

Fun fact: The reactions of the audience, including bruce willis, when the alien sings is pretty much unscripted. They actors were told they were about to see a performance, and then the lady came out and sang her song and performed. The reactions of everyone is pretty much genuine until the actual fighting and stuff starts and they go "back to script"

[@razz2552]

I do love the parallels with the Blue Diva being connected with the Fifth Element. The Blue Divas dance movements coordinated with Lelu and when she got shot so did Lelu

[@lunacouer]

That's pretty impressive, given that the woman who plays the Diva, Maiwenn Le Besco, and the woman who sang the song, Inva Mula-Tchako, are two totally different people. Even more impressive since the last part of the song was digitally strung together. It was thought that no human could sing those notes fluidly in such quick succession, so they had Inva sing the individual notes and then they were mixed for the song. Not sure who told you this story, but the only performance they were hearing was the playback of the digital mix and the actress acting the song out. I imagine it's hard to disguise lip-syncing on a film set.

Worked with a guy at a restaurant who sounded just like Tucker. Would quote Ruby all the time. It was AWESOME. 😂😂😂

[@Pauliemelt]

Fascinating reaction. You guys were drawn to the very essence of what Luc Besson is known for: that being the aesthetic. In actual fact, Besson came out of a movement called 'cinema du look' in the 80s and 90s that was known for placing more importance on style & spectacle over narrative. Hence the over stylised sets, costumes and performances that you both loved. One of the things I love about Bessons films is how they are a French persons attempt at bombastic Hollywood and therefore have this weird transatlantic vibe...His masterpiece is probably Leon...which you guys should deffo react to

[@Escapee5931]

First time I watched it, it reminded me of the movie "Barbarella" - which made sense when I found out they were both made by French directors.

This movie is legendary. It has so many levels, so much detail. It's like watching a favourite trilogy that's squeezed into one movie, albeit perfectly, but then you realise it's not. It has the most querky plot, bizarre and hilarious characters. There's almost nothing left undone, albeit the costumes, the unusual themes, I mean Chris Tucker... wtf. He's bloody brilliant. Tell me there's another movie that's anything like like this. There isn't. Top 5 Sci Fci movie, even without sequels and prequels. Happy to be proven wrong 😊😊😊😊

"Gingers are the fifth element." This explains so much.

The reaction to the opera show from the actors was genuine, because they had NO idea what they were in for, just that it was a performance.

[@adamskeans2515]

coolest part of the Diva's opera performance is that song, as seen in the movie, is actually impossible for a human voice to produce it.

[@lethaldose2000]

ASh you hit the nail on the head. The fifth element is a super cool movie. ------ But what really makes me admire this movie is the supreme level of world-building. As you mentioned Ash, It's like watching a live-action Anime.------ The density of new york city as Bruce Willis drives his cab is breathtaking. ------ Many parts of the movie are quite cheesy, especially the president and his team, but so many of the concepts were mind-blowing as well.

[@almahperditae]

In terms of commercial, entertaining films, I think there's not much films better than this. A amazing film. Fun fact: while in preproduction, Luc Besson had a year where he had some free time, so, insted of just take some vacations, he used those few months so write, shoot amd edit a much smaller movie, a more simple film, without big productions, big effects, and big budgets. The result was Leon - the Professional, one of the great masterpieces of movie history.

[@scallywagnation3780]

One of my favorite movies of all time. And Liloo is one of the best cinematic characters of all time…next to The Butcher in Gangs of New York, Maximus from Gladiator and William Wallace. Just my opinion 💪

[@lurkerrekrul]

If you want more of the same, watch Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. It's by the same director and based on the same inspiration as this film. Back in the 90s, Luc Besson wanted to make a movie based on a comic character called Valerian, but I think he couldn't get the rights and/or felt that he couldn't do it justice, so he made this film instead. Then in 2017, he got the rights and made an official Valerian movie.

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Kids, if you want to watch another fun futuristic film I highly recommend "Demolition Man" (1996). No spoilers, but this film has just become more enjoyable over the years!🙂Nice reactions to this visually entertaining futuristic film, Ash & Hannah!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I so love this movie, great reaction you two. Funny bit of trivia, the costume designers who made the clothing told the Director Chris hated the first outfit he was first shown. So they were told by the Director to make ones that were seriously crazy, and when he said hell no, they could whip out these as less drastic outfits as a compromise. He then agreed to wear them which is what we ended up seeing. lol

[@TFlex4]

And another funny little thing: none other than the fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier designed the around 300 film costumes himself and many professional Fashion Week models were hired as supporting actors for this film - a fact that of course also characterizes the style of this production and thus achieved cult status for many fans of the genre

[@DAN_IBEZA]

Hilarious! One of my favorite science fiction movies and I had to watch your reaction twice because it was so good. Thanks for all the extra laughs especially when Chris Tucker was on the screen! Great job.

[@renzero9206]

This films a masterclass in visual style. You have costumes designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier worn by supermodels (Mila Jovovich, who plays Leeloo, was at one time, the highest paid model in the world) and the set design was by legendary artists Jean Giraud (more famously known as Moebius) and Jean-Claude Mézières (another legendary artist who is famous for the graphic novel series Valérian and Laureline). Luc Besson, the director of Fifth Element, would go on to write and direct a Valarian film 20 years later. This film was and is amazing to this day for those to aspect alone, and Chris Tucker's outstanding performance 😂 Originally, Luc Besson wanted Prince to play the role, but they couldn't get him. Tucker has also said he wanted to play the role differently, but was so happy that they told him to play it as they wanted. It remains one of his most favorite roles.

[@Kadarello]

One of the craziest Sci Fi Action Adventure films ever made! This movie is James Bond meets DIE HARD meets Star Wars meets Metropolis meets Indiana Jones meets Lawrence Of Arabia meets STARGATE! Before Chris Tucker was cast as Ruby Rhod, David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Prince were considered for the role, but they all tuned it down as they feared that none would get a bigger paycheck. Even Jamie Foxx was considered for the part, but turned it down, as Foxx thought he was too buff to play th role. Tucker's persona was based on all three of the late great artists.

Quite frankly, it's an execise in French humor, it goes over the head of most Americans (and probably British too).

[@Schacal6666]

Unexpected! I can’t say it often enough: Ash looks so good with long hair. Hannah looks stunning as always, obviously

[@lethaldose2000]

Funny thing Ash, Ruby Rhod is partaking in a live podcast that streams across the entire universe. ------- Luc Besson formulated this idea in the '90s, thinking this is how the future would be 300 years into the future. --------- Little did he know it would only take 30 years for mankind to pull off the technology to make a live podcast not only possible but commonplace from the comfort of your living room. HA -------- So think of Ruby Rhod as a modern version podcaster attending a live event like Coachella. He can take his content to trillions of folks across the entire univervse. -------- It's coming faster than we can ever imagine.

This movie is such a trip, and a lovely one!

[@jayconant3816]

Yes!!!! Great sci fi

[@LadyFeline3]

'Chris Tucker talks like he's been sped up.' Yeah, and watching this at 1.5 speed made it even better. 😂

[@anunnacy]

Shoutout Dorian Gibson (whoever you are), great movie choice/recommendation,also one of my Top10 fave movies! 😃👍 Love it, watched it countless times back then with family, always been a cool and fun movie and it still is.

[@TruthWiz]

I'm so glad you guys watched this. The second this video popped up in my feed, I KNEW you were both going to LOVE IT. I absolutely loved your reactions. You're both just some of the most wonderful human beings, that I've never actually met. Getting to hang with you in these reactions is such a blast. Your blend of humor, perceptiveness, insight, silliness, and real love for one another, is truly gold. I adore you both, and am so thankful you're here sharing your awesomeness with us and the world. Cheers! Also: The song in the New York chase scenes is one of my favorite tracks of all time. It's a blast to drive to, dance to, or prep a meal to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ6xoap4fN6crbc

[@mikevik100]

the Fifth Element was one of my favorite 90`s movie by far.

[@EmoDragracer]

Ohhhh this is gonna be a treat when I get home 😅🎉🤙

[@justtrustash]

My brother 👊🏽

[@pallenda]

Brilliant movie!

[@_kedex_]

You guys need to see Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets next, I love that movie too.

[@blotcho84]

Love your reactions! This was one wild movie, I always enjoyed the creative design, and the acting is perfect for the crazy scifi adventure.

[@Nakanokalronin]

Finally!

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Please react to Chris Tucker again in Rush Hour 3 after this.

[@tiphanieshaw2535]

Ash: "Look at his outfit, it's like Count Dracula." Me: "Well, yeah. He was Count Dracula. But in Bram Stoker's Dracula, not this. Bahahahaha!" 😜

[@texasrattlesnake31637]

Chris Tucker is a freaking enigma in this movie! 😂😂😂 Great reaction as usual Ash & Hannah!

[@ItsLuceus]

Great movie, but Ash literally makes this nearly unwatchable.

[@joescott8877]

3:36-4:45 OMFG, talk about LOL! Great editing, guys! The cutbacks told such an hilarious story of Ash LHAO uncontrollably and Hannah looking at him all weird and shit. "I got the joke, too, but not to YOUR extent..." OMG, I lost it!

[@MaikKellerhals]

The "hair line" - ...line. So perfect, and so true. I would kill for hair like yours ;)

[@Raixor]

*The Fifth Element is one of those movies you need to watch about 5-10 times, and pay 100% attention to, or you'll miss something that will make something else, 15 minutes later, not make sense.But it's such a great Sci-Fi movie.*

[@FranciscoMartinez-369]

Ash talking about the elephant sucking the villain off had me dyeing. Left a like

[@axebeard6085]

The first opera I ever went to was Lucia di Lammermoor. The first half of the Diva's song is from that opera.

[@Nortic111]

18:26 'The Fifth Elephant' was one of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. I think I'll go read it again...

[@vandergrad]

The visuals of this movie were SO fun on the big screen!! I remember going back to watch it a few times, lol.

[@Jerzeejaylive]

I was worried you guys were having trouble getting into this at first but glad you liked it. Man, I was in my late teens when this came out and I still end up watching it nearly once a year! Nice surprise to see the legendary Lee Evans in the film. Speaking of legends, I can’t believe nobody in the comments mentioned Trip Hop legend, Tricky having a small part as Zorg’s right-hand man! I’m not even on that side of the pond and I know about him! Could be my age. Is Trip Hop even still a thing? Anyway, great review and keep ‘em coming.
