Tucker as Ruby Rhod was a blessing, especially because Prince was cast originally as you can tell from the wardrobe, but Prince didn't like the costumes so he passed. Chris Tucker really made Ruby shine in this movie though, and it's still one of his most cherished and memorable roles to date.

[@Serenity113]

And there's always cosplayers of Ruby Rhod at comic con 😂

[@JohnDoe-bz4yl]

I'm glad Prince knocked back the role as it wouldn't of been as good with him in the role Just like Django unchained wouldn't of been as good with Will Smith playing Django

[@steveschweichler7023]

Katt Williams was right. De-masculating of black men for fame and success. Shame

[@adampare8088]

When Chris Tucker kept screaming 10 seconds after the explosion...that will make me laugh for the rest of my life AHHHHHHHH

[@jollyrodgers7272]

...and he even takes an extra breath so he can extend it - L'ing My A Off!

[@adampare8088]

@@jollyrodgers7272 AHHHH! Whatcha doing in my replies. Bzzzzz bzzzzzz

[@ProfVRandall]

Before Chris Tucker was cast as the sexual, androgynous Ruby Rhod, it was offered to Prince who refused. My sons and I saw this movie in the theater when it was release and all of us thought that Chris Tucker stole the movie

[@Sd3cinema]

Exactly. He was ACTING. Why are we bothered by this?

[@kotkaconforza]

This isn’t ”trends of the 90’s” as scifi clothes. This is haute couture of the 90’s as scifi clothes. It’s Jaean-Paul Gaultier and it’s cool. It also feels more of the world if you’ve read any french scifi comics.

[@deathwitheponine]

This was my comfort movie when I was a kid. Literally would finish watching it then start it over again. I love how it’s still getting love all these years later.

[@allisonj7197]

Used to be on tv once a week if not more if not still..... though eventually i got sick of commercials and got it on dvd and played it on a loop for background noise while gaming. At one point youve seen it so many times you can just listen to it like a radio show and follow along when you feel like paying attention again. Did the same with the Matrix and the Mummy, depended on whatever mood i was in.

[@CrownlessKing88]

The thing that the thief guy had on his head was a picture of the empty hallway. So when they look out the peephole they see an empty hallway.

[@williamvigil2481]

Correct, it's a picture of the hallway, but there is no peephole. It's a camera that looks down on who is standing at the door. You get a good perspective when Leeloo is seen standing in front of the door. It's an overhead shot.

[@CrownlessKing88]

@@williamvigil2481 I knew that I just couldn’t think what to call it haha. Thanks.

[@puddentame9475]

Honey, Chris Tucker took Ruby Rod to that place. You're too young to remember those talk show host. Taking those guys out 250 years? It was perfect, and he brought Ruby to full blown life himself.😉

[@Sd3cinema]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

This is a film that holds up very well to repeat viewings.

[@Sd3cinema]

Never understood ppl being pressed about a character honestly. It’s a character, hes an actor, what was the problem? He did his job, and played Ruby hilariously. Name another movie in the beginning of his career where he didn’t play the same person over and over. This film actually showcased some range. Not to mention oldman is also “feminine” in this role. Are we really still this bothered by a feminine character this late in the game?

[@bmatt2626]

"I never should've pushed you out."

[@Stubby1085]

What a great movie. It’s so quirky and fun. Chris Tucker seems like he was having the time of his life in that role.

[@ZeroOskul]

Umagawd! Co'ben! Mah-man!

[@orienconway9859]

I absolutly loved Chris Tucker in this! He was the best part, to me atleast.

[@commanderkruge]

"90s Fashion" - the costume design and all over optical style is, to put it mildly, heavily inspired by the comic book series "The Incal" by Moebius, a famous French comic book artist. So it's 70's fashion. :) The movie is in large part a homage to his work - and he even got to work on it himself. :)

[@CrownlessKing88]

I like how weird the clothes are in this honestly. It’s also saying something that they were made by Jean-Paul Gaultier.

[@fugasi7803]

it was a picture on his head. so when corbin looked thru his peephole. it looked like an empty hallway

[@Lynn7015hb]

Love ❤ this movie. Seen it 100 times. Don't understand why Chris Tuckers performance would bother anyone, even anyone homophobic. It's just a performance. He was hilarious. And I also remember back in the day many black ppl saying they didn't like the portrayal of a black man that way. There's a lot of ppl, all kinds of ppl, still holding onto a lot of old negative s#@t.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, I was a little disappointed by his thoughts on Tucker’s character after the movie. I’d hoped that kind of thinking had gone away.

[@tonygourdine512]

After seeing the Katt Williams interview on Club Shay Shay, seeing Chris Tucker in this movie takes on a whole other meaning ! " That's all I have to say about that."😮

[@angelagraves865]

Was Ruby Rhod just a moment in time that future viewers just don't get? I feel like everyone I know who fell in love with this movie when it was new really love Ruby, but I've seen so many people reacting to this movie in the last few years who don't like the character. It's too bad because Chris Tucker killed it.

[@darkglass1]

People today are very sensitive when it involves jokes that could be construed as anti-LGBTQ.

[@Zectorman]

My favorite movie of all time. Pretty simple plot, with a love story . Doesnt have to be more complicated then saving the world with love all in sci fi style

[@lordflashheart3680]

Just an awesomely fun movie! Remember those? 😊

[@k.delpino1124]

One of the most unique Sci-Fi films of the 1990s Luc Besson after La Femme Nikita & The Professional with something amazing. This one here is unavoidable as an reap gem of it's genre. Everything in this is great, artistic, colorful, energetic and truly ahead of the curve. The first of 2 movies for Bruce Willis in '97 and another futuristic tale after 12 Monkeys (1995). Milla Jovovich's first time as female lead in a blockbuster film. Acting, modeling, recording albums and married to dir. Besson in the same year. Gary Oldman in that time was the 'most versatile' villain actor ever and as Zorg, he just does fearless intimidation like second nature. Chris Tucker before 'Money Talks' in the same year. He's Ruby Rhod Because Prince (yes him) was approached and said no. Even the clothes looked close to Prince's wardrobe. Tucker rarely talks about the role. But it's considered a fan favorite of his career. 2 video games, one in 1998 (action) and 2001(racing). The first is considered among the worst games (movie based or not) of all time. RIP to Ian Holm (Vito Cornelius), Luke Perry (Billy Masterson), Brion James (General Munro) and Tommy "Tiny" Lister (President Lindberg). Besson made the film, 'Valerian and The City of A Thousand Planets' (2017), based on the French comic series of the same name (1967-2010) and inspiration for his vision and look of The Fifth Element. It didn't do well at the box office. But it wasn't not a bad movie neither. Check it out if you want.

[@ZeroOskul]

Tucker and Lister are both also in the scifi superhero comedy *Meteor Man*; Tucker had a very minor uncredited role, it was his first movie but he'd done some TV work, before.

[@archangelgabriel5316]

Tucker was hilarious

[@x3mslayer]

This movie is super green! Gotta love all the characters, including Koben my Man!

[@MuffinHunterX]

Peak. 90's. Cheese. And I love it.

[@dominicgutierrez6453]

One of the coolest movies

[@pattern2481]

In 1997 I felt that way about Ruby... now he just feels like an essential piece to the film.

[@mikevandenboom5958]

That was a picture of the hall way on the robbers head. He has cold from standing outside for a long time hence the dance moves .

[@allisonj7197]

Back when i had cable you could watch the fifth element at LEAST once a week. Dated a guy who worked for Comcast and had a FULL cable package for a while and found the fifth element on 4 different channels in 1 day; though to be fair one was being broadcasted in spanish.

[@phunkjnky]

Father Vito Cornelius, you might know his better as Ash from "Alien...." and Zorg's right hand man as Massive Attack member and trip-hop artist "Tricky."

[@Cifer77]

One of my favorite sci-fi movies! Fun Fact: The primary antagonist (Korben) never even meets the main villain (Zorg)

[@ingalola3404]

Watched it in the movie theater, loved it to pieces, the story, the characters, the colorfulness. Never considered it SciFi movie, but an art piece almost like art nouveau

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

A movie where the hero and villian never actually meet in person! So many people don't even realize that.

[@markmaioli4]

I love this movie, but have never found a good way to explain it to someone who's never seen it. I believe WACKY is correct!

[@paulpeterson4216]

Simple, it's Die Hard in Space

[@NoelMcGinnis]

This was one of the first movies (aside from Star Wars) that I saw more than once in the theater. This is the movie that truly kick started Chris Tucker’s career. He was relatively unknown going into this movie. You have NO idea what an experience this movie was to watch in the theaters. After a few days of release, the word got out about two of the lead or main characters being people of color. In the craziest and best of ways. When I went back to watch it the second time, 75% of the theater were black viewers. I’m white, but I’m here to tell you it was a crazy and fun ride watching it that second time. The audience was very animated and vocal. It was a blast. I have had very few theater viewings that were as fun as that one. I took my son, and it’s one of our favorite movie experiences ever.

[@merchillio]

I’ve quoted “Aziz, lights!” an unacceptable number of times since seeing that movie for the first time

[@Raven5150]

Korbin giving the diva a standing ovation was all Bruce that was the first time he saw her perfom in costume and he just did that and it triggered a full standing ovation

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

Millia Jovovich. From super model to actress. She's been in a few things now. If you watched the Black Widow movie, Millia's daughter plays young Black Widow. She looks EXACTLY like her mom. A perfect little clone.

[@bw7273]

That one dude's "hat" was a static picture of the empty hallway, so it would look like no one was there when Bruce Willis checked his security camera.

[@MHVideos777]

Just found your channel and have watched several of your videos now. Consider me a fan - you have a very thoughtful and fun, relaxed approach to your movie commentary that makes it very relaxing to watch. Looking forward to more videos!!

[@jeffthompson9622]

Thanks for hitting this fun film! Both "Tiny" Lister(the President) and Gary Oldman(Zorg) are also in "The Dark Knight." Brion James(the General) is also memorable in "Blade Runner."

[@TheHitmann069]

This film is what happens when you let Luc Besson and Jean Paul Gaultier play together on their own in the sand pit.. 💪🏼👊🏻

[@brianmurphy8811]

"What the hell is that thing on his head?" - He'd perfectly recreated the image of what it looked like through Corbin's eyehole in his door. That's why when he first looked through, he saw an empty hallway. You were looking at the painting. The dude was acting strange because he'd been standing there all night long with his head bent down so the damn painting was in position for when Corbin would leave to go to work lol. Separate to all of that though, you're correct, much of 90's fashion was a _lot_ to look at.

[@daniellevaughn4598]

Chris Tucker's performance and the Ruby Rhod character were 110% perfect.

[@NOLAgenX]

Did I actually make it this early? This has been one of my favorite movies for a long time! Millla Jovovich, Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker!

[@maxducoudray]

Can’t wait to see how you respond to Chris Tucker in this. 😄

[@jeremyzier8706]

Little known fact: The person talking to Bruce Willis on the phone before and after his cab day is Vin Diesel.

[@JamesASharp]

This film has aged very well. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿

[@dexterriley]

I always considered this the real life action backstory of the cab driver in the. Adult animated sci Fi classic Heavy Metal from early 80s

[@pamelalee1508]

Wacky..yes Strange..yes Odd roles..yes However the love of the actors made it all acceptable..😁... Leeloo was prescious because we knew what a total badass Milla was in Resident Evil... Gary Oldman as you say a very versatile actor... Bruce ?..ahh Bruce...we love him and his witty repartee..his jump in and fight anyone or anything roles...a few months ago there was a posting for his fans of his birthday party at home..just family members...due to his aphasia he only spoke a couple of words... it's been more than a decade since his diagnosis and it's sad there is no treatment for him...we all wish him peace of mind and a light heart... Thanks for the reaction... 🌿🌿🌿

[@jeanine6328]

Awe no Tuckers character is one of the most iconic I’ve seen. You have to see that everything was exaggerated like the buff deaf guy in a dress. He was acting that the was acting a character his radio personality can as me up with. I’d me willing to bet the over the top performance was all Chris. Keep in mind he was attending the attendant at take off so he’s straight but very flamboyant. Could be a cultural kinda thing but I still live and respect the guy. Is there anyone that dude isn’t friends with?!

[@slaaneshhedonite7068]

I remember seeing this in the theater. Friggin loved it! You can tell it is some artsy French director. But overall it worked.

[@paulpeterson4216]

Think of the Fifth Element as another in the series of Die Hard Movies, but without Christmas.

[@Mickologist]

Love this movie. One of my all time favourite stand alone movies

[@jerrywalters8885]

Chris Tuckers character was written for Pronce but he didn't want to do. I think Chris did a great job. Comedy relief

[@devynjohnson317]

I love this movie so much. Just crazy fun

[@jeffthompson9622]

Like "True Lies" and "A Life Less Ordinary," this is made to be fun.

Chris Tucker is Highly under rated! Don't hand him a script, just tell him what the Movie's about and let his ass RIFF! This Movie is Based on a Story (and Animated Movie) called "Heavy Metal"... It's also a movie worthy of a reaction as well!

WUT CHU SCREAMIN FO?!?!?!??! thats makes me LOL hard everytime

[@Raven5150]

Most people forget Garry ildman played mason in tenable cause he looks extremely different, and the eyebal effect they used was his idea they actually stretched his eyes open for a days shoot inthe make up its a shame he recently retired from acting as well as Bruce unlike Bruce Garry said he just was done with it he has nothing left to try and give he's done it all

The guy that tried to rob Corbin at his apartment was wearing a picture of the empty hallway, so that when Corbin looked at the view outside his door, he would just see the picture of empty hallway and not the guy waiting to rob him. LOL The most important thing to know about this movie is that it was made by Luc Besson. 😁

[@clavididk1236]

I always wondered what happened to the alien that got stuck in there cuz he's not there when Bruce and crew walk in. That thing would still be in tact some what 🤣 I think

Actually the clothing isn't from the. My brother was a fashion designer and most of those are concept clothes that they thought were futuristic in the time so they decided to pick ones to put into the movie

[@Raven5150]

Most people recognize leeloo as the resent evil lady,i recognizer her from the chic onthe cover of dazed and confused but is only in 2 scenes and only a fe2 seconds each time but is on the cover of the movie, we still ain't the same, how ever when it comes to Bruce Williams i am just like most people and he's john McClain

Actually it's Jean Paul Gaultier who designed the clothes.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

For the nineties' Future Fashion Interpretation, understand that this is an English-language FRENCH Film - comprenez vous?- and this is another 240 years in the future, so we really don't know how accurate said interpretation is yet, do we?

[@Muck006]

Since you COMPLAIN about the clothes ... you might want to look into the FASHION DESIGNER *_Jean-Paul Gaultier,_* who designed them. IIRC he was one of the more sensible ones that were around at the time ... (but it is still "fashion", so some whacky stuff has to be expected).

[@krissiep1317]

You should watch Bruce Willis in 12 Monkeys and Looper!

[@endoraismygma]

I agree this movie is whacky in the best way lol. The acting is what makes it work imo. Everyone did such a great job, I can't even say how many times I've seen this and laugh at Chris Tucker every single time.
