Besson is an incredible visionary at worldbuilding and shit at holding back(see Leon, both beautifully edited by Sylvie Landra). You know that universe inside and out after just 1 movie. Sylvie did not edit Valerian and see how that gorgeous but incoherent mess turned out. (The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending had a similar issue of editing their own mess into a working movie, and they had Channing Tatum, who's way more of an action fantasy leading man than Cara and Dane.)

One detail people miss when watching this (which is understandable, as it's pretty fast-paced) is that right before they recreated her in the lab, the body part they used is a hand, and it was clutching the handle of a case, in this case the case that contained four stones, which, as we see a short time later, is missing a handle.

The Fifth Element is a masterpiece. "This outfit looks a little cruel" :D The costumes were designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, one of the most well-known fashion designers ever. Leeloo is played by Mila Jovovich, a supermodel who would become the highest paid model in the world :) The set design was created by legendary artists Jean Giraud, better known as Moebius, and also Jean-Claude Mézières, who created the classic book series Valérian and Laureline. Chris Tucker, who plays Ruby Rhod, said it was one of his most favorite characters he played.

I have heard that the director originally wanted the musician Prince for the role of Ruby, but Prince turned the role down.

The ultimate “don’t take yourself seriously” sort of movie. It manages to pay homage to over the top sci-fi, almost comic like in nature, while constantly poking fun at it. The opera scene fight is SO bad it’s good, it’s one of the best examples of poking fun. If Futurama was a live action movie, this’d be it. Hey, why haven’t they made that yet? Who plays Zoidberg?

Funny fact, the Diva song became very popular and it became a talk whether it was real or not. Many years later the Director Luc Besson said that they indeed had used technology in one small part of the song so it would be impossible to perform by a human being. The Diva being out of this world so to speak. Time jump to today and it turns out some humans have actually learnt that impossible part and can sing it without help from technology. Amazing human beings! I recommend Dimash Kudaibergen.

Who in the real world would love Ruby Rhod? But in this world everyone is crazy about him. I don't like him, but that's why I can laugh at the silliness.

The Diva’s song is called ‘The Diva Dance’. It has taken on a life of its own beyond the film. Symphony orchestras and sopranos from different parts of the world have performed it on stage. Considered one of the most difficult and challenging songs, some of the best vocalist and singers have done a great job in recreating the performance from The Fifth Element. Aspiring vocalists from different parts of the world sang the song during auditions to impress vocal judges! Some of the best covers of ‘The Diva Dance’ were from China, Korea, Russia, countries in Eastern Europe, etc. Vocal coaches have done reaction videos of singers, both amateurs and professionals, who attempted ‘The Diva Dance’. Look for Dimash Kudaibergen (male singer from Kazakhstan!), he will blow you away!
