[@Hykje]

The hero and the villain never meet and don't even know about each other's existence.

[@jamesnorman9160]

I never even realised that until today and watching this recap. How often can you say that happens in a piece of media?

[@Cykotyk]

I thought Cornelius mentioned Zorg to Corbin.

[@owie4070]

​@@CykotykHe might have. Now i need to watch it again.

[@dubiousbrackman]

Half of what you said is true

[@TheBeird]

It's one of my favourite films. Ever. I can't articulate it better than that. And I don't want to. It's f'cking wonderful

[@zod5966]

13:24 Watched this movie many times. Just now watching this review realized that the evil orb that turned to stone at the end looks just like out moon (seen in the distance). Could it be that this suggests that our moon was the first orb that was sent thousands of years prior?🤔

[@Anynom]

I'm always surprised Gary Oldman hates talking about this movie. You watch this you figure this is a case of an actor having the time of his life hamming it up.

[@snifflindrake3283]

One of Gary Oldman’s greatest roles (the other one is Batman Begins 😂). Crazy. Whacky. Unhinged. Misunderstood. The maniacal laugh for not getting the stones gets me every time!

[@slaymakerprime]

Don't forget his part in Leon the Professional.

[@sabreson2551]

Fun fact: The robber with the hat is played by Mathieu Kasowitz, a director of Amélie :D

[@Doomcheese]

They originally wanted prince to play Ruby Rose, he declined because he wanted to use his own wardrobe. Chris tucker nailed the audition but went to prince to ask for permission to take the role.

[@owie4070]

Thanks for doing this one, RedEye. A true sci fi classic.

[@tonypoelman5953]

Originally the Chris Tucker character was supposed to played by Prince

[@chrislacy1990]

That’s correct. According to director Luc Besson, Prince couldn’t play the Ruby Rhod character because he was on a world tour.

[@assassindelasaucisse.4039]

Fun fact: a viking once engraved "Erik was here" on one of the Constantinople Cathedral wall.

[@jamesnorman9160]

Ah yes, the film that made 'multipass' part of the general lexicon. Also possibly the most fabulous/ridiculous that Chris Tucker has ever looked.

[@jacobbronitsky1448]

The accent for the aliens in the beginning is so unique. Out of all the accents out there... how the hell did you just do that on a whim? Hahaha

[@ianitor]

I think the cigarette idea is that the filter was like 90% of the cigarette because it's the future... makes em healthier...

[@almightycinder]

The ponytail lady with Ruby at 9:21 is Mia Frye, the dance choreographer who created the Macarena dance. She's also in the music video for it.

[@MechanicalFrog]

Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@emailchrismoll]

Back in the day, the five elements were Earth fire wind water, and quintessence. Quintessence is what the heavens were made out of

[@RedEyeReviews]

Oooh I like that.

[@emailchrismoll]

not boron haha

[@brunospfc8511]

I heard that Beam comes from a bar in Thailand....

[@mladenkulic446]

One of my favorite childhood classics.

[@owie4070]

Same 👍

[@robsutton3092]

You guys are babies! Well, you WERE babies. Decades after I was a baby. You’re younger than me. That’s what I mean. You’re younger than me, but not as young or as old as many, many other people.

[@pesokpesok]

one of a very few of my guilty pleasure endlessly rewatchable movies(T2, Shawshank redemption, Forest Gump -among couple dozen others) is this absolute masterpiece. Silly and uplifting, funny and heartwarming - Bruce was perfect for that role, young Mila fit into Liloo like a glove, not to mention cartoonishly evil Gary Oldman and ridiculously wierd Chris Tucker. Luc Besson puts out gems(this and professional) among garbage(Lucy) but all in his unique style!

[@WeldinMike27]

Agreed. Dusk till dawn and Tremors are my others.

[@pesokpesok]

@WeldinMike27 get out of my head :) so sad Michael Gross has died, they will probably try to make more tremors, but it will not be the same without Burt

[@WeldinMike27]

@@pesokpesok yes and no... I don't appreciate any of the tremors 3-56 or the series, so I'm living in the Golden years.

[@pesokpesok]

@@WeldinMike27 this is exactly how i feel about from dusk til dawn - love and have BrD of 1st but not the sequels/series

[@mattrobson3603]

Ending on a poop joke was a bold choice, but it paid off in spades. Heh heh heh, poop.

[@citizenVader]

It used to read "if this is clear enough for you to read, you are now pissing in an angle of 15° and your shoe"

[@SyberStain]

I can remember going to watch this in the cinema as a kid

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

One of the single greatest SciFi movies of all time.. I got the VHS boxset which came with a _huge_ coffee table book of *incredible* artwork and the BTS story of the Production One of the most fascinating universes ever committed to celluloid ❤ _"You want some more?"_ Yes. Yes I do.

[@owie4070]

100% agree

[@sethprice241]

He's not only the best option, He is the only option.

[@wbbartlett]

A bona fide all-time classic

[@codyhensley640]

Yes! I came here to say the same thing! Lol. Unfortunately, my comments are fucked up or something, so instead of being able to make my own, I have to piggyback off of someone else's. 😢😂

[@mortenhyvejle]

@@codyhensley640 hahaha no worries mate, piggyback my comments any time you want 😅... I'm not that good at English, but I assume that piggyback is slang? I honestly don't know what it means 😅...but yes RedEye has absolutely great humour.

[@codyhensley640]

@@mortenhyvejle Lol. Yeah, it's slang for "joining in" essentially. Since I can't make my own comment, I found yours, and replied to it as a way to acknowledge that I also found that line particularly hilarious. Lol

[@levik1832]

Love the series and HEY! FINALLY ALMOST AT 50K subs!!11!! Great cause this year as well. Awful disease but the least we can do is keep the research going with some donations. Cheers!

[@hakarumonoka]

I was 16 when this movie came out. I had just started my first real relationship with a girl and we decided to go and see this opening weekend. My eyes were glued to the screen so much that I didn't realize halfway through the movie my date had fallen asleep. I'll never know how she was able to do it but I was in love with this film from day one and still watch it yearly.

[@lasarousi]

One of the best movies ever

[@ProBreakers]

Thanks for the decades of entertainment Bruce!

[@varyar77]

One of the greats.

[@jcohasset23]

The Fifth Element is a bit of a strange movie, even for sci fi, but it is surprisingly good. Now and then there is talk about a possible sequel but I really have no idea how that would work (and odds are good it would be terrible) even if Bruce Willis hadn't retired.

[@rumsey1326]

I love this live action remake of Heavy Metal! So much fun!

[@anthonybuckingham5678]

Love your work 🤣

[@RedEyeReviews]

@anthonybuckingham5678 thank you so much :)

[@PranksterGL25]

If you REALLY love ole' Willy Willis you should do the Twilight Zone episode where Willis plays HIMSELF twice! It is Glorious in his young 80's prime... do it, I dont care what you planned or wrote scripts for, you will do this now

[@loramaze1729]

Gary Oldman is not Little Finger, Aiden Gillen is. Gary Oldman is better known for playing Dracula, Beethoven, Sirius Black etc

[@RobinJohnstonphotography]

I totally forget this film had a plot.

[@howyoudurrinhunneh]

Love this movie

[@BigBear--]

Surprised that the fifth element was also not just some more poopy.

[@oliverkloshophdndrecords50]

I freaking love this movie

[@D-Fens_1632]

This one is great because it goes all out as a Sci-Fi action hero movie (playing the heroes as both reluctant hero and ass kicker who is also a sort of damsel in distress), but it doesn't take itself too seriously. A big reason I don’t like movies now is because they make movies like this but played straight. They don't make fun, silly movies like this anymore. It had a few progressive angles, one rather odd. "Wow the powerful hero is a girl!" wasn't really a big deal anymore when this came out but Rhuby Rhod or however that's spelled was obviously the first live streaming trans influencer. And following Back to the Future it was another movie that used a black president as an indicator of what the future will look like. I was never clear if it was supposed to be dystopian and authoritarian or not though. You had pleasure cruises with Alien divas, but Korben Dallas' world was clearly modeled after the dystopian New York in the movie Heavy Metal.

[@Myytzlplk]

Saw this in theater with my best friend. Became his favorite film. Man...I was more of a Starship Troopers kinda guy. We agreed on Alien Resurrection and Gattaca 😂. It was the big cheesy costumes, the hairstyles 😂Chris Tucker's dildo hair 😂Bruce Willis's character definitely ripped off Frank Miller's Hard-Boiled comic and Heavy Metal

[@mr.pavone9719]

This movie is the closest to Star Wars as you can get without being Star Wars. The only difference is this movie is fun, like how Star Wars used to be before the fans got jobs writing for Star Wars.

[@The_RC_Guru]

Is the aftd funding his treatment?

[@germantoenglish898]

Forget Resident Evil...Milla Jovovich is so HOT in this movie. And it's the first movie where she does that highly annoying birth screamy thing which for some reason she repeated multiple times in later movies. But this movie is epic despite the annoying gay game show host guy.

[@YourLordshipBalthazar]

For some reason I had to find out if there is a penis hieroglyph, there is

[@GamesFromSpace]

If they were anything like us, there are probably forty hieroglyphs for dick.

[@Tim_the_Enchanter]

Multipass.

[@MasterJediDude]

It’s so very…. French.

[@sammitman3031]

The Fifth Element is hated so much by Gary Oldman. He didn't understand why he was there, and honestly, Im the same way. I don't understand why ANY of the actors were there filming this garbage. it's one of the biggest wastes of film ever to be made. I give it a -5000 out of 10.

[@mikerohlfs2836]

I did not like this movie, I should have ,but I just didn't, absolutely hhhaaaattteeeddd Chris Tucker, the Diva lady was stupid, I liked the character design, and some of the aesthetic. I just did not like it.
