No matter how old this movie is, it is still amazing to watch. You could put it back in theatres and I am sure people would pay to see it on the big screen. Parts of it still give me chills to this day.
Interesting thing to note about this movie is that the main villain, Zorg , and The main hero, Corbin Dallas, not only never meet, but are totally unaware of each other.
Oh my gosh!! I hadn't realized that!! 🤯🤯
@@mikesilva3868 OK BOT.
That one ups Star Trek II, where Kirk and Khan meet in battle but do not physically meet. I guess makes it easier on the shooting schedule, for sure, when you don't need both your leads at the same time for a given day.
Huh.... you know Ive seen this film dozens of times and that never occured to me! :P
Technically Zorg isn't the main villain, the blob of pure evil floating around in space is the main villain. That is the threat to the planet. Zorg is just the main henchman of the villain or maybe a better description would be a junior partner of the villain.
Always fun rewatching your reactions Jen and seeing your old set up , you had such a fun time nice spot with Bilbo baggins 👌 you love a movie time limit you got a movie time limit . You want an explosion you get an explosion and you want a screen kiss you get a screen kiss 😃 awesome 🙂 cheers for the fun time rewatching Jen 🎉🎉
Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" (1985), also co-starring Ian Holm, is another example of a fantastic dystopian world-building satire with eye-popping production design and a great love story.
Brazil takes two to three watchings to catch everything going on.
Yes, 'Brazil'(1985) is a must see, Jen.
As is 'Time Bandits' (1981) by the same director.
And also '12 Monkeys' (1995) again by Terry Gilliam.
She should do the trilogy time bandits(1981) ,Brazil(1985) and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen(1988).
I hate Brazil... for a VERY similar film, try *The Science of Sleep* I either love terry gilliam films *Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 12 Monkeys, & The Fisher King* or absolutely hate them: *Zero Theorum, Baron Munchausen, Time Bandits, Brazil, Tideland, Dr. Parnassus, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas & Jabberwocky*
Milla actually had a part in creating her character. She brought in the hairdresser who designed her first very iconic hairdoo and the bandage outfit was her Idea. It is a must see movie.
A little late to your comment here, but she was also instrumental in creating the language that she spoke. Both Luc and Mila worked together to develop the language. Mila, who was already fluent in many languages, said that she wanted to be comfortable with the speech patterns and so Luc let her create. So we ended up with something that sounded very natural!
Milla Jovovich was actually nominated as worst supporting actress at the Golden Raspberry Awards in 1998 for her role as Leeloo. I think she was absoluely awesome. Whoever nominated her should get a kick in the...
... Joy department 😁.
..multipASS?
if you take her performance too serious then you would make that nomination
She was... perfect.
I don't think they understood the character at all....
Jen, Gary Oldman should get your lifetime MVP award, he is so diverse and is amazing in every role he plays.
I've heard there's a cosmological theory based on the guy. According to it, there aren't actually multiple human beings. Instead, whenever a person dies, they will hear the director yell "cut!" and find that they were actually just a character played by Gary Oldman all along.
🤣🤣
immortal Beloved is my favorite role he played
That was so much fun I just love it when you have such a good time Jen 🥳 watched your enter the dragon yesterday and what did we see on the TV screen when leeloo was scrolling only Bruce lee with his nunchucks 😀 that's epic . Funny seeing Chris tucker with a toilet roll forward hair cut 😅 , loved leeloos language and was hoping you would mimic it but that's ok this was fantastic all the same 🎉 cheers for starting my day with a laugh and a smile Jen you're the best 💙
This same year Gary Oldman played three characters Zorg in Fifth Element, Korshunov in Air Force One and Dr Smith in Lost in Space and they all showed me how much of a chameleon he is.
I've watched it dozens of times and can't get over the genius of nearly every scene. I love the part where the transport is taking off, the cutting back and forth between all the different scenes while tying them all together.
My friend and I shout "Aziz light!', to each other whenever we are in the dark.
7:56 This scene, along with the fantastic musical crescendo, was so inspiring to me when I first saw this. It still is, this movie makes me want to write and create sci-fi worlds and one of the main reasons for that is its incredible soundtrack. The Fifth Element has been my favorite movie for a long time.
I generally like my scifi serious, dark, slow-building, etc (think Arrival, Contact or Interstellar), but The Fifth Element is the exception. There this balance of quirkiness, zaniness, action, endearing characters and serious moments when needed that totally wins me over, and I think this can be entirely attributed to the unique creator of this weird world, Luc Besson. Scifi in Europe, in comic books especially, is really out there and very different than North America scifi, and it really comes alive here. There's nothing else like it, and is absolutely a product of its time (Besson tried again decades later with Valerian, but it felt sterile and empty with all the CGi and whatnot). Also, I absolutely adore the Ruby character, and it only worked because Chris Tucker completely comitted to the supreme eccentricism of that silly character, it comes through fantastically. Kudos tho Chris Tucker for making this character work somehow! 😆
It's a different type of movie, but I also like Besson's Lucy (2014). The Fifth Element is one of my fave's though.
If you liked the Alita movie we should talk about your sci-fi likes.
I like the other movies you mentioned too, but Arrival was really special. Like Robert Wise said he tried to do, it grabs you from the opening shot and never lets you go.
@@orvoloco8261 I like Alita because i read the entire manga series as a teen so seeing it on the big screen was quite something for me. And i do like cyberpunk too. I may have made it sound like i only like serious scifi, it is my preference, but im really open to more than just that.
I'm guessing you're talking about the movie simply titled Arrival (2016). Because there is another The Arrival (1996) starring Charlie Sheen.
"Multipass!!"😂
Was never up in my top film selection but enjoyed watching with you lovely Jen❤️❤️
This movie is still one of my favourites of all time and the Diva / fight scene is epic.
Agreed! 👍
@@jenmurrayxo
Thanks for your reply Jen, it’s much appreciated and just to let you know I really enjoy watching your reactions.
I agree.
To an American sci fi fan, this was such a great introduction to the European tradition of sci fi. Just a great fun film, with some deep scenes mixed in.
If you like this, you should give the Valérian and Laureline comics a try; Luc Besson pretty much based this film on that Universe, without making a direct adaptation of it (that came later).
I don't know if it was american publication, but this movie always felt like a live action version of the sorts of stories Id see in heavy metal magazine when I was a kid.
@@rrmenton8016 its a french movie and the most expensive ever made in europe
It occurs to me (finally) that Zorg must have an explosive charge in every public telephone in the city. How else could he have blown up his henchman with no prior knowledge of which phone he would use?
Luc Beeson directed the Fifth Element and another one of hos films that is similar is Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets with Cara Delevingne and Clive Owen
I consider this one of the best movies ever made. PS: Luc Besson has been "working" on the story since he was a boy. He invented also the language, Milla had to learn it. They even had conversation in that language.
"The Fifth Element" is really unique, one of my favourite science fiction movies.
Luc Besson did some other good stuff.
As an insider tip I would recommend a lesser known Besson movie, from the beginning of his career "Subway", with Christopher Lambert in the leading role.
Great soundtrack, great humor, good action and some later stars, doing things you wouldn't expect.
Milla Jovovich and director Luc Besson came up with that language for leeloo
I always introduce this film as an educational documentary on how we got our first and second moon. Lol one of my fave movies.
This is one of the craziest yet fun movie ever. Really rewatchable.
The bellboy on the ship that helps Corben Dallas is played by Lee Evans. He's a stand up comedian but he was also in There's Something About Mary. If you haven't seen that one I highly recommend.
See FUNNY BONES which REALLY features Lee Evans which turns out to be almost a crime-mystery. Or MOUSE HUNT where Lee shares time with Nathan Lane as two brothers inheriting a house.
I really liked Lee Evans' performance in this movie until I saw him in a stand-up. Thought he had good character performance, until I saw he has exactly one move which he overplays.
Norm! LOL
Funny thing Jen, Ruby Rhod is partaking in a live podcast when his show is on the air.
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. HA So think of Ruby Rhod as a modern version podcaster attending a live event like Coachella.
Ya so true!! 👍
@@dggydddy59 Can a televisión or radio broadcast reach the entire galaxy. That's what makes this idea special. Even Jen doing a live premier, with her talking with followers is pretty impressive
Zorg's assistant is Tricky. He's a DJ singer musician and producer. He was in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and the video for Parabola by Tool.
Dear Jen. Luc Besson sci-fi genre = Valerian and the city of a thousand planets.
Happy 25th anniversary of the fifth element, my favorite movie from director Luc Besson.
So many wonderful stars in this one. I have many Bruce Willis sci-fi movies and apart from the obvious ones, Surrogates is well worth watching. Ian Holm likewise turns up in many of my favorite films but it was probably his role as the defective android in Alien that gave his career a boost. He never gets the lead role but is always great in supporting roles. Brazil is one such movie I highly recommend. Gary Oldman is just wonderful at everything he does. Down here in Oz one of our tv channels once a year plays The Fifth Element on repeat all day.
One of my favorite movies
The fifth element is such a cool movie. But what really makes me admire this movie is the supreme level of world-building. 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.
The look of the film was by one of my favorite artists, Jean Giraud aka Moebius.
The movie is a spoof on sci-fi TV and movies. The flying car city is from Blade Runner There are many more props and costumes and technology from TV/movies
The cheesiness is something I enjoy about this movie. It's like a AAA movie blended with a B movie, producing something epic, beautiful, hilarious and silly.
Interestingly, Dallas (the protagonist) and Zorg (the antagonist) never meet nor know of each other's existence. I love that.
'97 had so many wacky alien movies and I love them all.
GG, Steph the editor, for including the part of the movie I replayed the most when I was 14
Luc Besson is an awesome director. If you haven't yet seen 'La Femme Nikita' or 'Leon: The Professional', I really recommend both of them Jen 🙂
Another great reaction. My favorite exchange in the movie. Cornelius: "Your a monster Zorg" Zorg: : "I know"
18:16 "I shoulda dressed up as _this_ guy."
Especially with that hair.
Luc Besson also wrote & directed Leon the Professional. Which also featured Gary Oldman.
I'd like to see that one! 👍
I love that "Love" is "The Fifth Element".
One of my all time favorites... glad you enjoyed it.
When I first got a high def tv and Blu-ray player this was one of 4 Blu-rays I purchased. The colors are amazing
That makes at least two movies where Gary Oldman gets blown up as revenge
5,000 years of Wars… the mere thought of learning about it like that… it always makes me tear up a little bit. And I will always love how beautiful the moment she saves humanity is…
I just saw an interview with Milla on RUclips where she talked all about this film. Turns out the white bandage costume was her idea. They said when she was "born" she would be naked and obviously couldn't just go around naked so she though about what they wear in hospitals and thought of the bandages.
I feel like Luc Besson (the film director) was playing Perfect Dark and said to himself
"Let's make this into a movie but change the name but keep some of the story."
And so the Fifth Element or as I call it "the Perfect Dark movie we technically got" was made.
To my knowledge this is the only sci-fi, comedy, opera film. I think it all works like a well made clock. Note the editing of the fight / opera scene: Oscar worthy 🎉
Flash Gordon maybe could fall in that category, too.
I love that 1 too!
@@oobrocksIndeed, that Queen soundtrack^^
One of my all time faves!
The first part of the opera the Diva sang, was an actual opera. The second pop part however was original to this movie. And was written specifically to be "humanly un-singable."
And in that they succeeded. Parts of it needed to be synthesized.
The irony is that Zorg was killed by the same thing that he was critiquing the Mangalores in the beginning, honour, also this is one of the few movies, where the antagonist and the protagonist never go face to face, Zorg never meet Dallas in the entire movie, to him he was a nameless employee.
I have spent the last week pouring over your videos. I could explain it to myself, but I fell for you after the first one. I’ve laughed and cried with you.
BUT - I’ve finally figured it out. You are as wonderful as Helen Hunt - I’m MAD ABOUT YOU.
Thank You. I can’t wait for your next upload.
Best to you and Yours.
Mills Jovovich in Resident Evil awesome movie 🤘
Love your reactions, Jen! And I was just thinking of this: back in 97, they basically predicted the importance of influencers. Ruby Rhod is like a muli-galaxy-wide influencer. We hope for Star Trek...maybe we have to settle for THIS.
Chris Tucker as Ruby was genius 👏 👌 🤣
They originally wanted Prince to play Ruby. That would explain the costume. 😁
You should react to "Dogma" and "Mr. And Mrs. Smith"...you'll LOVE both!!!
RIP Luke Perry. It's sad that he dies so young, and even more sad that he didn't get to live long enough to see his son (a professional wrestler that uses the name Jungle Boy) go on to be signed by by the 2nd biggest wrestling poromotionin the world, have his TV debut, and eventually win a championship.
On my list of personal favorite movies.
I fell in love with Gary Oldman in My Immortal Beloved. If you haven't seen it you really should. It is an incredible movie about Beethoven.
This is classic Luc Besson but my personal favorite from him is Leon: The Professional. Specifically the European cut which is a little longer. Natalie Portman's first role with Gary Oldman and Jean Reno. Amazing film.
That's so highly recommended, I'll put it on the list 👍
Glad I saw your comment. The last time I checked if Leon was available to stream it wasn't, and now it's on Netflix.
For another fun sci-fi movie I suggest Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
This is one of my favorite movies.
Great reaction I'm glad you liked it👍
A friend of mine got a LeeLoo Dallas Multipass out of a Loot Crate one time. She had my deepest envy.
Milla did make the language up for Leelo. She was told to just speak nonsense, but she created a language on her own.
Late response here, it was a mixture of her native language some english and a few others.
The supreme being would speak all languages at once....as in Babel.
Cool thing really.
Luc Besson also directed Léon: The Professional which I highly recommend. It has a great cast also. And, if you enjoyed Chris Tucker, check out Friday. He was even better in that movie. =)
That one also has a great Gary Oldman villain. EVERYONE agrees on that ;)
@@xxJOKeR75xx hahahah, I see what you did there. ;)
Milla Jovavich (Leelu) was the wife of the director Luc Besson at the time. As this is a French film, they take some shots at American culture, including the McDonalds everywhere.
jenn if you've seen marvel's black widow , the actress who played leeloo in this movie her daughter played young natasha in black widow and the actors who played ruby rod and the president both played in the classic "Friday"
I think Besson liked "Friday". So, he casted Chris Tucker and Tiny Lister Jr.
@@Madbandit77 yeah i think so 2 because th odds that both went out for the movie and got it would be high
Milla Jovovich was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. She's most famous for her performance in the _Resident Evil_ franchise. She's fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, English, French and Serbian which left her uniquely qualified for the role of someone fluent in a language that had been made up for this movie.
Ruby Ross was disliked by the majority of people at the time the movie came out (I never had a problem myself)... he was a bit ahead of his time, given how vloggers and things like that came out many years latter. Nowdays he's not so disliked lol.
And of note, if no ones mentioned it yet... the villian and the hero never actually meet or interact directly with each other.
I remember being a little annoyed the first time I watched it, but once I’d seen it a few times, I started to realize how genius it really was. Now he’s my favorite character in the film.
I still dislike him, but after the years he is pretty meek compared to some modern vloggers:p And he contrasts the protagonist really well.
One of the most re-watchable movies ever. 👍🏼
Milla and the director were in cahoots with the artificial language she was using. If I recall correctly, she occasionally called him when she was unclear how to say a thing in the "Devine" language.
Milla's expression in the freeze frame at the end always kills me.
Yep, she charmed the director away from his wife, the woman who played the Diva.
25th anniversary of one of my favorite movies
not sure if you've seen it before, but seeing the little sailor guy (based on his outfit) reminded me of another movie he was in: There's Something About Mary. if you haven't seen it, it is a MUST SEE. it is literally one of the funniest movies ever made.
you might want to check out Valerian. Simmilar Style and made by the same Director
I can never get enough of the soundtrack!
The fifth element was the second movie that Gary Oldman worked with director Luc Besson, first was Leon: the professional and I highly recommend you to react to it.
A quintessential film!! 👍
Gary Oldman truly is a chameleon. None of my guests ever recognize him in any role.
I see everything he does, but even I was shocked at how good (different/authentic) he looked as Churchill! A very long way from Drexl...
I have started watching this film at least 20 times and never finished it. I listened to your reaction more than watched it an I may attempt it again!
You might like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. It's a lot like Fifth Element.
His boss Finger’s voice is Vin Diesel. His mother’s voice is Demi Moore.
It seems to me like a live action interpretation of the "Heavy Metal", (R), 1981, Animation, movie's "Harry Canyon" vignette. Great reaction.
Thanks! ☺👍
During your premiere chat, you had a poll for best quote from the movie, and while I did choose "Multi Pass", my other favorite was missing: "Anyone else wanna negotiate?". 😈
As many have suggested, Leon: the Professional (int'l version) is one of Besson's best. Others of his that I like are The Big Blue, La Femme Nikita, Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec, The Family (starring Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer), Lucy (starring Scarlett Johansson), and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Big Lucy fan here. Can never decide if it's the smartest stupid movie ever or the stupidest smart movie ever. But it sure is entertaining.
The Characters are based on one of the "Haevy Metal" Graphic Novels. There's an Animated Movie called "Heavy Metal" which has Corbin in it (in the First Movie, not the Sequel). Some Big Names provided the Voices, including John Candy and Harold Ramis (RIP to both) DEFINATELY Worth a Reaction!
My favourite part of this film is the clever scene transitions that flow so well from speech to visuals and back again!
Milla should have been recognized for this role more she was a model not an actress and she did a very good job portraying innocence. you feel for her character.
The Fifth Element is one of those cult classics. It has an intense following.
Ruby is a whole mood!😁😅🤣😂😂😂🤣
Gran película
Broken glass cleaner inspired the Roomba
Bilbo as a priest before he was Bilbo, but after he was a traitorous cyborg crew member.
Literally my favourite movie!
Years back Boston and I did a stint in Carandiru Penitentiary and I kept telling him how much I loved this film. He slapped me around a bit (I had it coming) but promised, if he ever got out, he'd watch it. Glad he talked Jen into doing a reaction. LIBERDADE POUCO CAMARADA! This story is .100% true.
🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was funny learning that the characters of Korben Dallas and Zorg never actually meet in the film.
I believe Milla Jovovich and Director Luc Besson made up LeeLoo's language, they wrote letters to each other in this language, and they ended up married in real life. But also at time of Movie Production Director Luc was married to actress that played the Diva.
Ian Holm was quite a versatile actor, ranging from playing Polonius in "Hamlet" to the android in "Alien."
About 7:25 - 12:20 is Auido Desync.
This movie was supposed to be a trilogy. Luc Besson had three scripts that he condensed into one.
It’s sooo cool that you did this movie, it’s been a fav of mine for decades!
I had a blast! ☺👍
