In a funny way, the 90’s was bookended with Ancient Egyptian elements in films. Early 90’s - Stargate Mid 90’s - The Fifth Element Late 90’s - The Mummy

It's crazy how artfully the movie indulged in the silly and the bizarre, yet does it so humanly, so substantively, that is feels real beneath all that crazy. Details like Zorg's emotional reactions, little bits of grungy inconvenience in the set design, how casual the characters are about some of the weirdness around them...the writing, the actors, the producers, just bring so much meat to this movie, that you're sold from square one. The suspension of disbelief is a masterclass course that Hollywood should be studying today.

I never realized that until now. Zorg only has two scenes with two of the main characters for one scene each. Yet never meets the main hero. This movie really is unique in its own way. I really wish Hollywood could make a movie like this again where the characters don't really act to the weirdness of the world unlike now and days where everyone must wink and nod how werid everything is in the story. I would love to go back to something like this

"Takes care of the human bad guy... well, mostly human anyway." 😂 Reminds me of Blade. Blade: You're human. Human: Almost. I'm a lawyer. Best joke in the entire movie!

I had a different reaction to the opening thinking it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to these poor bastards (potentially) currently fighting to breathe at the bottom of the ocean alongside the titanic because he said "every once in a while it's a good idea to come up for some air"... I still laughed, but I thought he was just being macabre before I realized the turnaround for editing alone wouldn't give him the window to make that reference.

This film was a MASSIVE part of my childhood and continues to influence me today. It absolutely still holds up and modern movies could learn a thing or two from entertainment such as this. Great review, as usual, Decker. And yeah, that intro - sheer fkin' brilliance!

I just recently rewatched this movie after 15+ years. I thought it was amazing when I was younger, but didn't remember a lot of the small details. My recent rewatch cemented it as one of my top ten sci-fi films of all time.

Awesome review vid! Another fun fact: the hero, Korban, and the villain, Zorg, actually never meet each other for a final duel. They are aware of each other, and almost had an encounter with each other, but moments after Korban leaves the apartment to escape from the bomb, Zorg happens to enter the same apartment to defuse his bomb. I could be mistaken but I'm curious if this movie is only one that the main hero and villain have never been seen together. Unfortunately, IMDB doesn't confirm my theory.

David Bowie, Michael Jackson, and Prince were considered for the role of Ruby Rhod, but they all turned it down as they were worried about not getting a bigger paycheck than their co stars. The movie was influenced by STAR WARS, Indiana Jones, James Bond, DIE HARD, Total Recall, Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lawrence Of Arabia, and Judge Dredd.

This is a totally unappreciated movie. It is well done, well acted, and has a great feel to it. Of course this review is awesome as it’s done by the best movie reviewer on KZread.

fun fact: Leelu, usually spelled Lilu, is the Akkadian word for "Incubus". These demons were not purely evil though, often invoked for male fertility or the protection of children. The demon Pazuzu (of Exorcist fame) was said to be their king. The feminine form of the word, Liltu, "succubus", is a cognate to the Hebrew "Lilith."

"negative, I am a meat popsicle." also nice phantasy star reference with Dark Falz there Decker.

that movie was 2 hours long? I was so into that movie when it came out it felt like a 90 minute movie! A movie that makes you forget the running time is very rare. Such an awesome movie and still is!

It's funny that it's only now that I'm reminded of the first story from the "Heavy Metal" cartoon movie. A taxi driver in "Future New York City" deals with muggers and other filth ... and then some red-haired girl who's connected to something from Outer Space just falls into his life by winding up in his cab, he can't take her to the authorities, so he takes her home, etc.

"Unbelievable!" Thank you Decker for giving this film that special kind of adoration only you can.

"Now would be a good time to like the video." Decker, your wish is my command!😂

One of the movies that captivated every 90’s kid.

And all of a sudden, hope comes back to my summer ! Thank you, kind Sir, for always improving and never disappointing ! Your channel is as good as this movie !

Definitely one of the best movies of the 90s and still holds up great today.

woohoo! Phantasy Star reference in a Fifth Element review made my day

I'm all here for this Summer event that will end the 4th weekend of December

Earth, water, fire, air, heart! With our powers combined: we are Captain Planet!!

I love the tune that plays whenever the characters are having a comedic moment, like when Ruby and the priest are talking about the bomb in the hotel. This movie stands out a good bit to me and kind of hits all the marks I have that make me like a movie or not. It's the kind of thing I'll show my kids one day.

I love this movie, just the right blend of humor, action, and scifi. Another fun fact, the actress who played the diva actually sang the song in front of the audience during the unbroken performance. The director did not tell the cast about the how the scene was to go and did not even give them direction, just that someone will sing and dance on stage. He then filmed the reaction from behind the actress. The actress felt that should could not lipsync the song well enough so she practiced and then sung the song with a variation of the "impossible notes". The cast's mesmerizing looks are genuine. There is a full run of the unaltered performance in the BluRay along with the actress practicing the moves and song. The unaltered song and performance is mesmerizing. Milla is rumored to also be in the audience as another character. There are videos of the scene unedited on the web.

I got to watch this in theatres when it was released. One of my all time favorites!

I always thought there was some kind of implication when they stopped “the evil“ in the same shot on the other side of the Earth was the moon and I thought the implication was that maybe the moon was actually a past evil that had been stopped a little bit further away. Soooo, joy of joys, now there’s two moons.

You dunno how long I have been waiting for this exact video

The guy with a photo attached to his head trying to rob bruce willis never gets enough credit.

If you think about the ending of the movie, the fifth element was heart!!! But where the Hell was Captain Planet!?!😊

FUN FACT! The woman who played the diva has such a small roll because she not an actress. She is one of only 3 people in the history of that song that can ACTUALLY sing that song. That is not dubbed in post. That is actually her.

'The Summer of Milla Jovovich!' - I did not see that one coming.

Speaking of really good sci-fi films they don’t make anymore, I still strongly recommend finally reviewing sometime this year the 1981 sci-fi/western film *Outland* that I’ve been requesting for quite a long time. Sean Connery on the Jupiter moon Io with both the special effects crew & composer from Alien (which honestly feels more like it’s connected to Alien than Aliens ever does), and in a plot that’s essentially a well made remake of High Noon. A true Cult Classic that’s high in quality, but also extremely under rated.

My guesses are gonna be Resident Evil (in a perfect world all of them, but idk if you got enough time), Monster Hunter, Ultraviolet, The Perfect Getaway, Three Musketeers, and maybe Hellboy 2019

Fantastic review of Fifth Element. I love that film so much. Milla Jovavich and Bruce Willis were fantastic. I even didn't mind Chris Tucker's over the top performance. Looking forward to the Summer of Milla Jovavich. :)

GREAT review, Decker! Okay - so get ready to start with your "Okay, Boomer" stuff - but when this came out, we went to see it and 1) didn't exactly know what to make of it, it was SO different from the usual... and 2) we LOVED it. I remember a buddy coming back to the barracks and saying "I don't know what that was, but I know I gotta see it again" It STILL holds up better than most newer sci-fi romps. Stylish, fun, FUNNY, odd - no, bizarre... It's tremendous. I have to say that the casting is brilliant & the performances perfect... but... it's REALLY Willis who makes it click. It would've been a GOOD movie without Willis, but WITH him, it's BRILLIANT. Thanks again, this made me happy.

Yeah! A heck of a summer special to look forward to!

I was worried about watching this. The Fifth Element is one of , if not my favorite movie ever. It is still a go to for me. Hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for this review. So well deserved 5 out of 5.

Great movie and an outstanding reviewer! Bring more classics Decker - Die Hard, Fifth Element, Pulp Ficiton (realizing now Im naming Bruce Willis movies), Four rooms, Ace Ventura - stuff that people love to re-watch and they would love to rewatch with your commentary!

Always a fun watch. I think this is the movie that made me realize how amazing of an actor Gary Oldman is. His range is nuts, rarely are 2 of his characters similar. It's really impressive when you really look at his portfolio. IMO anyways.

This man really droppin Phantasy Star wow

That intro was possibly the perfect joke

Now, you might think its unrealistic for the goons to have brought an empty case to the human bad guy without checking, but I say nay. I have lost track of the number of times I've dealt with someone at work and said something alone the lines of, "So, you never thought to make sure there was actually something IN THE BOX?!"

Dark Falz?! That caught me off guard I was in the middle of some phantasy star online 2 when you dropped that reference.

Its absolutely hilarious i get the Borderlands references cus the whole collection minus 3 were 5 bucks on switch.

"This case.... This case is empty..." "What do you mean empty?" "I mean empty, as in the opposite of full. THIS CASE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FULL!!! Anyone care to explain?" Leeloo explaining in Mandosheewon "We're saved..." "I'm screwed!" "You wanted a case, we brought you a case! "A CASE WITH FOUR STONES IN IT!! NOT ONE OR TWO OR THREE, BUT FOUR!! FOUR STONES!! WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH AN EMPTY CASE!!!"

Gods, I remember when this came out, I was still taking Chemistry classes, and the first thing I did was look at the periodic table and wonder 'Why are they making a movie about Boron?!'... before remembering Captain Planet...

I was wondering when you'd review this one!

A well cast film which really was a decent adaptation of Moebius's far out interstellar vision. Both in the world building and his quirky humour.

Is this the summer of Bruce Willis? Nice plot twist at the end. Also, that person has made a bunch of terrible movies. This is going to be a great summer.
