    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The "Divine Language" spoken by Leeloo was invented by co-writer and director Luc Besson, and further refined by Milla Jovovich, who had little trouble learning and developing it, as she was already fluent in four languages. The language had only 400 words. He and Milla Jovovich held conversations and wrote letters to each other in the language as practice. By the end of filming, they were able to have full conversations in this language.
    • Goofs
      Zorg's limp switches from his right leg to his left leg and then back again several times throughout the film.
    • Quotes

      Korben Dallas: [Leans down and kisses Leeloo. Leeloo swipes his gun and holds it to his head]

      Korben Dallas: You're right, you're right, I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry.

      Leeloo: Senno ecto gammat!

      Korben Dallas: I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

      Leeloo: ecto gammat!

      Korben Dallas: [In a later scene] When she woke up, she said a bunch a stuff. I didn't understand any of it but... what does 'ecto gammat' mean?

      Priest Vito Cornelius: Uh... never again, without my permission.

      Korben Dallas: That's what I thought.

    • Alternate versions
      In the theatrical release, Korben Dallas initially opens his door after hearing the door chime. He looks into the monitor, sees the empty hallway, opens the door, and then almost gets mugged. This scene was edited for the ABC presentation.

    Another Fine Luc Besson Film.
    The Fifth Element is another fine example of the filmmaking talents of Luc Besson. Luc Besson, a creative genius and the director of classic films such as The Big Blue, Nikita and Leon (The Professional) has returned to the genre that started his filmmaking career, sci-fi. In The Fifth Element Luc Besson realises his life long ambition to make a film based on a story he thought of while still at school, Zaltman Bleros. Writing and directing the film, he skillfully mixes humour with action and amazing visual effects that put The Fifth Element in a class of it's own. Stunning performances are put forward by Milla Jovovich, Bruce Willis, Ian Holm, Chris Tucker and Gary Oldman, who returns to work with Luc Besson after playing Norman Stansfield in Leon. The Fifth Element show us how well comedy, action and romance can be put together. Overlooked at the Academy Awards, Luc Besson won the Cesar for Best Director at Cannes in 1998 for The Fifth Element. Simply, an excellent film, 10/10.
