Adam Savage covered the Mondoshawan props on his channel last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf5dPrmBvwE It was a fun film, but Chris Tucker broke the pacing too many times for a general audience. Even now on rottentomatoes his role still distracts focus from the character arcs. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fifth_element Was a cult classic for sure, but nowhere near Blade Runner as a film. =3 | ||

I think the film would have been better (though perhaps less successful) if Besson had toned down the occasionally exaggerated tomfoolery, like Chris Tucker's character, or the spaceship Evil (the orb described in the article) which felt almost like a SciFi parody taken out of the movie Spaceballs. The pacing, the great costumes and set design by Moebius, the actors Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich, and the unusual ideas (like the alien opera singer) were all more than enough to carry the movie. | ||
