Anyone else watching The Fifth Element?

[RevCheesehead]

I just adore Gary Oldman. This character (Zorg) has got to be one of his best roles!

1. sorry i hate that movie

you notice how the supreme being never bothers to comb her effin hair?

when i'm the supreme being bad hair will be outlawed from the top down, hey, the fish rots from the head first, no wonder the world goes to hell if god can't comb her effin hair

[realisticphish]

Fascinating universe they created, and VERY good special effects for the time

[RevCheesehead]

5. Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg

"The ZF1! It's light, handles adjustable for easy carrying. Good for both righties and lefties. Breaks down into four parts, undetectable by x-ray. Ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger. 3,000 round clip with bursts of 3 to 300. With a replay button, another Zorg invention, its even easier. One shot and replay sends every following shot to the same location. And to finish the job, all Zorg oldies but goldies. Rocket launcher. Arrow launcher with explosive poisonous gas heads. Our famous net launcher. The always efficient flame thrower. My favorite. And for the grand finale, the all new ice cube system."

8. But what does the red button do?

:D

6. I'm not now, no - but I watch it occasionally. Fucking brilliant film!

And I mean that in all seriousness.

It is a truly stellar and excellent film, with phenomenal presence from all involved - Bruce Willis, Chris Rock, Gary Oldman, the foreign chick, the guy who plays Bruce Willis' commanding officer, Ian Holm... pure perfection.

One of my all-time favorite movies.

Shit, now I might need to sit down, turn off Buffy, and watch it.


And yes, the character of Zorg is one of the best bad guys ever written, and Oldman plays him so PERFECTLY... I put him up there with Jonathon Pryce playing Elliot Carver in "Tomorrow Never Dies", who is perhaps my favorite villain in terms of performance after Zog and Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal and Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine.

7. Cool!

The Rabrrrrrr seal of approval!! :bounce:

11. I love that movie.....

I have seen it maybe twenty thirty times.....

The taxi thing is so Bruce Willis....

[RevCheesehead]

13. And, amazingly, it's great every time.

There's always something new to discover. I love flicks like that. :)

[WCGreen]

16. yea, that is the best part of it.....

The priests are cool....

The way they are just winging it....

And come to realize they are just winging it...

[RevCheesehead]

21. Most of us come to realize it, sooner or later.

It took me about 6 months before I knew. :)

[WCGreen]

22. On a wing and a prayer.......

[WCGreen]

17. yea, that is the best part of it.....

The priests are cool....

The way they are just winging it....

And come to realize they are just winging it...

9. Chris Tucker!

It's Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod, not Chris Rock.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. That's what I meant, then.

I always get them confused.

People in Hollywood should not be allowed to have similar names.

Nor should there ever be more than one "Sarah (name) (name)". It's goddamn confusing.

10. I dare anyone here to watch and not shed a tear...

...when Mila Jovovich's character learns for the first time what "war" really is.

[WCGreen]

12. yea.... that is pretty powerful......

[RevCheesehead]

15. Ha! One of the women just said,

"Ruby Rhod... He is So Green." :rofl:

[WCGreen]

18. only after about 3 hours......

or until the Viagra wears off.....

[RevCheesehead]

23. ....

:rofl: you're so bad, you're good!

[Buck Turgidson]

14. Chi-cken... Good.

19. Luc Besson did a perfect job of exploring the style of Jean Giraud

Jean Giraud (Moebius) wrote the most fantastic comic stories for the early Heavy Metal magazine. When you watch The Fifth Element you see the Moebius design style faithfully used. I've never found out if they knew each other or not, or how much Giraud had to do with designing Element, but I KNOW that style!

(Anybody remember The Airtight Garage Of Jerry Cornelius?)

I was actually going to watch it this evening, but got distracted by a showing of Jacob's Ladder (Tim Robbins). Now that it's over I may just pop the dvd in! It's a superior science fiction movie, and a great love story.

20. I'm amazed that Milla learned a fictional language for the role
