One of my favorite outfits was the Flight Attendant uniform. When Phantasy Star Online came out years later, I thought the Trunk (item storage) Girl outfit was based on them.

One of my fave films of 1997! i saw this in theaters 3 times when i was turning 15 and dug it! one of my fave sci-fi action comedy films and it's like the Guardians of the Galaxy of it's time. Check out Leon The Professional and Nikita as well.

Eric Serras work on both The Fifth Element and Goldeneye is masterful!

Idk if you've ever played Xenogears, yasunori mitsuda soundtrack at times very similar music to Serra's.

When James said he didn’t get it and asked if it was a comedy I just wanted to say to him “It’s French, James.”

Even as a kid I felt the plot didn't make a lot of sense because it seems like the story just randomly starts but I still love it. The characters are a lot of fun and the world building is amazing.

Didn't they realize the movie is basically a Heavy Metal Magazine homage?

[@WickedWicka]

Sadly, I don't think Heavy Metal is that widely known, despite South Park doing a parody of it.

[@Capnsensible80]

@@WickedWicka Maybe not so much now, but when our generation (30-40) were growing up it was pretty widely known and appreciated

[@VFomalhaut]

they missed a lot of points, like the reason why blade runner and this one look similar (moebius), but that happens when we old people watch other old people talk about old stuff.

Most couples have a "song" if my wife and I have anything it would be this movie. We each had a copy of this movie that we would watch together over the phone for our date nights when I was in military. It's still one of my favorite movies not strictly because of nostalgia.
