Mila's a terrific actress. Her talent has always been overshadowed by the fact she plays action heroes most of the time. Such a shame. She deserves more acclamation.

Bruce Willis was known for his comedy before he was known for action films. Who remembers the television series Moonlighting (1985-1989) starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd? Die Hard came out in 1988.

He was a Bartender, before Moonlighting. He, also did guest spots, on Miami Vice, and at one point, even recorded an album of music.

@@allanalogmusicat78rpm First thing Korben says to the mugger is: "Been here long?" To which he replies: "Yeah, long enough. Give me the cash" So, yeah I would say they spelled it out to you. They even go as far as having a moment to show Korben looking at his monitor before he opens the door, then a shot of the monitor's view on screen, then a shot of the view of the hat before he lifts his head up.

I'm not so sure. The hand they found looked like it was holding a control lever from the ship that crashed. Maybe they all look similar to her (ie humanoid) and are just wearing big suits. I think the statue was just a way to carry the stones.

One of the clever things I love about this movie is the dialogue that shifts from one scene to another. The lines that make prefect sense within their own context, but also mesh seamlessly with the conversation going on in an entirely different place. Like Zorg being upset about the missing stones and Leeloo describing where they are. That whole conversations- those two conversations- wind back and forth so well. And it happens other times, as well. Very cleverly done. I've never seen it done quite this way, or this well, anywhere else.

[@SmartPrice84]

I don't know if you've seen the series, Archer, but they do that a lot.

[@urborg74]

My favorite was when the ship is taking off. Was sad it wasn't included in this video.

[@Wirmish]

@@SmartPrice84 So Archer = Copycat

That separation is also between the hero & villain. Korben Dallas & Zorg never actually meet each other face to face.

[@spencerstabio5936]

The editing in this movie is very clever.

[@jerbearschannel2208]

What was on his head was a hat painted to look like the hallway. Intended to rob Corbin but he robbed him of his gun and added it to his collection.😂

[@bobschenkel7921]

Neat little factoid: 62 miles above the Earth is where the atmosphere ends and Space begins. The priest was played by Ian Holm, aka Bilbo Baggins in "The Lord Of The Rings" movies and as a supervisor in the movie "Brazil", which you should check out, since you liked "The Fifth Element" so much. I enjoyed your reaction, it was very real.

[@platinumspider7859]

Brazil is pure fever dream, a full realm beyond the Fifth Element. She might get totally lost watching that, it often requires multiple viewings. She has seen the first in the trilogy already though, so maybe she's ready.

[@samuelvincent557]

I , also, like the little hint that our moon was from the previous time the evil came to the planet, as you see both of them in the same shot, when it turns to rock. Although it looks like they cut it a LOT closer this time.

I love how they edited this movie, so that one character starts a sentence and another one in another scene finishes it.

[@CrownlessKing88]

Lee Loo was inside the metal sarcophagus in the temple at the start of the movie that they removed along with the stones.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

6:24 "Excuse me? Who are you? You're not cute." That's typically how you can identify the villains. They're not usually cute.

[@walkerig1]

The hat of the burglar was a photo of the empty hall from the position of the Corbyn Dallas's door peephole. He placed the hat in just the right position so that when Corbyn Dallas looked through the door peephole after the doorbell was rang he saw an empty hall. Thus Corbyn opened the door not knowing someone was stood outside armed.

[@manduheavyvazquez5268]

Masterpiece ever.

[@GetMeThere1]

The hat on the neighbor thief's head was a picture of the empty hallway. He would put his head down so Bruce Willis could see what looked like an empty hallway when he looked at his monitor before opening the door, and then, when he opened the door....the thief would be standing there with his gun.

[@uncontrolledvictory]

This is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. Some fun tid bits for you: The language Leeloo speaks is a fully developed language. Milla learned it in it's entirety for the role. Her full name is Leeloominaï Lekatariba-Lamina-Tchaï. The "Ekbat de Sebat" at the end of her name is a title meaning "The honorable". Her name in the language roughly translates to "Precious Stone of the Earth, Defender of Light and Life" The Aria that the Diva Plavalaguna sings was performed by Inva Mula. She recorded the song in full then in post production they keyed a synth with each note she recorded from the section with the super rapid note changes and swapped that portion out as the changes occur faster than the human body can produce the sounds. The Aria is a testament to her range and capabilities as a singer and performer. Great reaction and I can't wait to see you finish the "Band of Brothers" series.

[@tzuyd]

"Someone tell me why I haven't seen this before" It's one of those rare gem movies that was misadvertised like a straight action flick.

[@joshtaylor4583]

I watched this movie EVERY DAY for 2 years while in Graduate Art School in 1997; on VHS tape and wore out that tape!!!. LOVED IT.

[@mhlevy]

I'm so glad to see you react to this movie, it's one of my all-time favorites! Directed by the crazy French director Luc Besson, and featuring a standout performance by Gary Oldman, it seems as Luc gives Gary the permission to go completely crazy in his roles, as he did before with "Leon: The Professional." I'm so glad you like this movie, and as always, I loved your reaction to it!

[@davidbooth7778]

Gary Oldman is such a great actor. I get chills every time I watch the beginning of "Dracula". Ooooooo!

[@CrashTestPilot]

Easily one of my favorite movies! Glad you did this one!

[@DawnMarieX]

Glad I did it too! 😁

[@pencilpauli9442]

So glad you enjoyed 5th Element, all I knew about it was that it was sci-fi and was similarly blown away by how good it was.

[@uuzd4s]

Gary Oldman plays another Gr8 role in The Book of Eli, along w/ Denzel Washington. It's an Action, Drama, Sci-Fi w/ a surprise ending that's not been reviewed by many of the "First Time Watching" channels on YT. It's another movie that takes place in the Future w/ Earth's demise as the past. The movie theme is about a journey of Faith w/ a very surprising ending.

[@RoGueNavy]

The director made another fantastical science fiction film, just a few years ago, which could almost be thought of as an unofficial companion to this film; it's called "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets". It's based on a French comic book series.

[@QuayNemSorr]

Well "Vagina" is a beautiful word. First time I've seen anyone come up with that though. That had me in stitches. So glad you liked this movie. One of the best scifi movies ever!!

[@bradleymcavoy3432]

[@venomdust1]

Funnest part of the reaction . @7:43 “ I’d like to get a few pictures “…… “I bet you would “. With that look 😂

[@fryke]

It always has to be mentioned: It's one of the rare moments where a time bomb's countdown actually takes place in real time (at least until the last 5 seconds part, where Gary Oldman's character pauses it, of course). It just adds so much to the feeling of time running out, compared to countless other movies where it somehow seems they have too much and too little time at the same time. :)

[@regould221]

Several references to the #5 in the Movie. There are five elements (obviously), Zorg stops the bomb when there are five seconds remaining on the timer, Korben’s license has five points left on it, and Ruby Rhod’s show starts at five o’clock.

[@aussierob3860]

Great reaction as usual Dawn💯🇦🇺👍. The director’s ability to seamlessly tie in 2 or 3 different scenes at the same time is remarkable. The Diva singing / Lee-loo fight scene is one of my all time favourites. Thank you again Miss Laughs a lot. I could listen to your laugh all day long.

[@voidmstr]

The Leeloo fight/Diva song montage is like the baptism/mob hit montage in The Godfather.

[@lilmissrockchick4962]

Fun Fact: Before Milla Jovovich was cast as Leeloo, Luc Besson originally wanted to cast Julia Roberts in the role, along with Mel Gibson playing Korben Dallas and the Singer, Prince playing Ruby Rhod, and I think production was set for 1992 but I think due to financial issues, production was delayed. Whilst Luc Besson was casting for the role of Leeloo, Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie from 'Saved by the Bell' and Nomi Malone from 'Showgirls') auditioned for the role. Side note: Before Gary Oldman was cast, I want to know who Luc Besson maybe originally had in mind for the role of Zorg.

[@vinsgraphics]

I saw an interview with Oldman where he said he was doing Luc a favor (Luc also did “Leon: The Professional” with Oldman). But Oldman is not a fan of his own work in 5thE. He’s a moody sort.

[@jordanbridges]

​@Steel String meh... she played tinkerbell in Hook. She would've been fine. Better actor too. But I can't see anyone else besides Jovovich.

[@Deegee_1969]

A few more names that you might recognise... the archeologist at the start was John Bluthal (also seen in the Vicar of Dibley), Zorgs henchman "Right arm" was the rapper 'Tricky', the priest was Ian Holm (also played "Ash" in 'Alien'), the artist at the start was Luke Perry (was also in "Beverley Hills, 90210"), the scientist early on was Christopher Fairbank (was also one of the two low-life bad guys in Batman (from 1989), as well as "Moxy" in 'Auf Weidersen Pet', and "The Broker" in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'), and the general was Brion James (also played "Leon" in 'Bladerunner'). The operatic song is known as "The Diva Dance", and only a handful of operatic singers can sing it correctly as it was purposefully written to be unsingable by humans. Oh, and Corben Dallas and Mr Zorg never actually meet, regardless of Zorg giving the instruction to an aide to fire a large number of employees... Corben being one of them.

[@sharkbaitoohhahha]

My fiancé brought home a kitten on Mother's Day last year saying that the kitten didn't have a mother. Long story short, we kept her, and she's named after a character in our favorite movie. Leeloo.

[@pedanticperson1149]

"Why was he kissing her?" Because she's perfect & the whole gun to the head reversal was funny. As for Zorg, he was working with the Big Evil Planet (Mr Shadow) because he's evil & thinks that with the destruction will come profit & growth.

[@Eisenhorne77]

This is my number one favorite movie, I have a 5 foot by 8 foot mural from the movie release. When I was in Japan and the movie came out I went into the Japanese town near me to buy cakes and stopped at a movie store that had VHS tapes. The movie store had a mural on the wall for The Fifth Element and I was blown away and wanted it. I went to the counter, didn't speak a word of Japanese and I pointed at the mural on the wall and reached into my pocket and grabbed all of the yen coins I had, not knowing the handful of yen I unloaded on the counter was worth about 200 dollars (I was a dumb American). The Japanese guy behind the counter shook his head no no no, pushed the yen back to me and a second Japanese guy came out from behind a wall and handed me a folded-up mural of the same pattern. The mural is a picture of when Mila Jovovich jumps off of the building before she falls into the taxi. This mural has been on my wall since 1996, that is 27 friggin years! This is my most favorite movie! Thank you for reacting.. you enjoyed this movie as much as I did, thanks again!

I'm proud that it was filmed in London and Mauritania. Whilst filming over here *Bruce Willis* went to watch a West End show.

Congratulations on watching one of the best sci-fi movies ever made! It’s an amazing and wild ride that’s full of imagination. There’s so much about this film that I love but by far my favourite element is the music. My favourite piece is the music that plays over the end credits. It’s so beautiful and ethereal and romantic. Just stunning. I’m really glad you enjoyed this film so much. I guarantee it’s a movie that you’ll watch again and again. And her name is pronounced Mila (mee-la) Jovovich (yo-vo-vich), she was 19 when she made his film and she’s from Ukraine 🇺🇦.

[@tranya327]

Great reaction, to a GREAT film! •••• Mila Jovovich is pronounced Mee-luh Yo-vo-vitch. Y, in place of the 'J' sound. •••• "Major Iceborg" is indeed supposed to look like a 'fat Princess Leia' - the hairstyle is this film's tip-of-the-hat to the famous Star Wars character. •••• I think the idea was that Leeloo's "first" body (which we never got to see) was inside the sarcophagus taken by the Mandoshiwans (the mechanized aliens) early in the film. •••• I think Korben kissed Leeloo, because of the VERY strange circumstances up until then: He was looking for 'the perfect woman' and the literal 'Perfect Woman' just so happens to crash into his cab. Then she passes out, and then he learns that she's "mankind's most precious possession." Did some unseen Power cast him in the role of Alpha Male hero/Prince Charming? Maybe his role was to wake 'Sleeping Beauty' with a 'magic kiss'? Korben has a romantic side. His conclusion was mistaken, but come now: was he REALLY an idiot for arriving at that conclusion? •••• When Ruby Rhod lets out that huuuge, long, high-pitched 'girl-scream,' it'd be interesting to know if that was really Chris Tucker's voice, or did they dub in an artificial scream, to make it sound more ridiculous? •••• Ruby Rhod gets my vote as maybe the best scene-stealing character of all time. Second place probably goes to Billy Crystal as Miracle Max, in The Princess Bride.

[@DawnMarieX]

AND! I was able to understand it 😅

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction to an awesome movie! The opening scene with the archaeologist took place in 1914. 300 years later the evil was to return, so the year in the movie is at least 2214. According to the movie it takes place in 2263. Leeloo was the supreme being in the thing that looked like a human coffin taken from Egypt in 1914. The Mondoshawans (sp?) were the guardians of the stones and the fifth element, not the same species as the fifth element. Ian Holm (who also plays Bilbo) was awesome as Father Vito Cornelius. Who would blame Dallas for having that impulse? I'd want to kiss Milla Jovovich too. 😀 Zorg doesn't need the fifth element. As Vito Cornelius said, if evil stands on that spot with the four stones, light becomes darkness and life becomes death. Zorg wants to get the stones for Mr. Shadow, as he calls him. Brion James, who plays General Munro, is probably best known for playing Leon in the film Blade Runner, but he's been a guest star on a lot of TV shows I watched when I was younger too. Unfortunately, he passed away a couple of years after this movie came out. But I love his character in this film. Apparently Mr. Shadow can cause one's brain to bleed? It's a really cool effect, whatever it is. I had no idea who Lee Evans was before this, probably for obvious reasons, but I loved him as Fog in this movie. Poor sod. 😀 I LOVE the comment The President (Tiny Lister) makes after Fog's "Where did he learn to negotiate like that?". And General Munro's reaction just makes it all the better. 😀😀😀 "Why Earth?" Because when the temple to the fifth element was first built it was a primitive world with no real civilizations and nothing to recommend it, so it was the perfect out of the way spot to hide the temple because there was no reason for anyone to go there. 😀 The look on The President's face when Korben's mother is on the phone. Priceless. 😀 Such a great movie with such a great cast! I always enjoy watching this one again. 🙂

This is one of the best movies ever made, it is so funny it always makes me laugh watching it. Loved the reaction.

Many of the monsters, background props, big wide shots and other things here and there are from sci-fi movies and TV shows as sight gags, see how many you spot. e.g.. Flying car city is 'Blade Runner' and the cars are from Pixar's 'Cars' or 'Rodger Rabbit'. Big gold monster is Kosh from 'Babylon 5". 3 rocket in tail of ship launching is from early 'Battlestar Galactica'. Little and big things.

5:25 It’s a photo of the view of the hallway from Corbin’s eyehole. So it would look like no one was at the door.

Fun fact, since you are a Scot: The first half of the diva song is the "Madness Aria" from the 3rd act of Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor;" the opera was based upon a romanticized Scotland in Sir Walter Scott's novel, "The Bride of Lammermoor."

My brother introduced me to this movie right after it came out and I've loved it ever since. He also introduced me to 'The Matrix'. Love your review. You are so intelligent. It's as if you were in the mind of the producers and screenwriters.

This was definitely the right one. It had action and humour. Unforgiven was a serious movie.

This is a brillant movie, I actually saw it when it came out and absolutely loved the quirkiness and 90s-haute-couture-meets-Star Wars aesthetics! It's so fun too, closest recent thing that have at least some of the appeal would probably be Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets but it can't quite compare.

Ok, this is the second movie of yours I've watched and they both were "the best movie ever." I see a trend. 😁This movie won a bunch of awards or was nominated. I'm pretty sure it won best costume design. Deservedly so.
