Honest Trailers | The Fifth Element 

And it had the decency not to spawn a half-assed sequel.

Prince turning down a role because the costume design was "too effeminate" is like Schwarzenegger turning down a role because the character was too masculine.

Bruce Willis called this, "Star Wars on acid." True

Chris Tucker's performance, even in a field crowded with excess, is a stand-out.

Prince would have been interesting, but there's no way he would have let himself cut that loose. Tucker is LEGEND!!

Never realized how this movie pretty much predicted RU-vid influencers. Even predicted how loud and obnoxious they were going to be.

"Did the hero and villain never meet each other in this movie?!?" Excellent point man. Excellent point.

I have seen this movie so many times... and i never even stopped to think about the hero and villain never meeting each other.. xDD

Fun fact chris tucker actually went super hard to be a parody of Prince after he got the part and it’s my favorite thing.

3:26 Not only did the hero and villain never meet, I'm not even sure that they knew of each others' existence.

“Lessons in consent,” had me dying

“Darth Bezos” Jesus Christ I can’t even hahahahaha 😂😂

“I don’t want 1 position, I want all positions!” That legit sounds like a Prince song.

This trailer is rated: SUPER GREEN.

One of the best and most fun Sci-fi films ever. Pacing, acting, humor, practical effects, setting, the premise and its execution all are on point.

Who here still says "Big Bada Boom" and multi-pass to this day?

Chris Tucker’s costumes were literally rejected Prince costumes 😂

There was a period of my life, after this movie, that when I was out drinking, would annoy the heck out of club bouncers by drunkenly waving my ID in their faces and holler "MULTIIIPASSSS".

What amazes me most, is how Luc Bessons previous work, The Professional, was a down to earth, heartfilled, emotional, realistic, impactful drama and his next movie was this.

My father was in the ICU in February with massive Delerium and Dementia at night. I left an iPad with him when he finally got to sleep one night with this movie ready to play and when I came back in the morning he was so stoked - knew it was me, knew it was his favorite, wanted to watch it again.

Xenomorph who went to Juilliard, that cracked me up.

This is a movie I can pretty much quote by heart. It's honsestly one of the most flat-out fun sci-fi movies ever made despite (or because of) how weird and silly it is. It's *juuuuust* tongue in cheek enough to be a fun romp without totally de-fanging it's handful of serious moments. And the practical fx still hold up remarkably well. Also, Ruby is the god-king of intentionally annyoing characters.

Here we are 23 years later and there are still very few Sci Fi movies made in between that come close to how good this movie is.

“A living weapon who has to be turned on...before she’s turns on.” Lmao

"Anyone else wanna negotiate?" Love that line.

"One of the best or one of the worst sci-fi movies of the 90s" One of the best. And the 90s are stacked with great movies.

"...a xenomorph who went to Juilliard." LOL!

It never aimed to be larger than life or took itself too seriously, it is amazingly fun and memorable and that is something to be grateful for. And Chris Tucker´s performance killed it.

"... Full of smoking, topelessness and rude waiters, to the point that you know this movie was made by a bunch of French dudes". I'm French, and this had me wheezing

"The best screamer in SciFi" beautiful... and 100% true

"Chris Tucker nailed it, but the part was clearly for Prince." Truth!

It's so crazy the Zorg is the same guy that played Commissioner Gordon. I actually didn't even connect that Gordon was Gary Oldman until years later. You know a guy is a crazy good actor when you don't realize who the character is being played by and he's not wearing some sort of disguise to alter his appearance.

You didn't include the most important quote in the entire movie: "Aziz, LIGHT!.."

Leeloo Dallas, multipass. I don’t know why, but I love how she delivers that line.

The world needs a ‘Demolition man -Honest Trailer’ come on screen Junkies.... what’s your boggle!!!!!!

I love this movie for many reasons, particularly Gary Oldman. Years after watching it (and a bunch of other genre movies) the day I found out that Gordon from the Dark Knight Trilogy, Sirius Black from Harry Potter, and Zorg were the same person my mind was completely BLOWN.

My wife showed me this movie when we first got together and that's how I knew she was the one.

"The present day NYPD" *sharp intake of breath*

Still was ahead of its time, truly unique. What a film.

Fifth Element and Galaxy Quest are tied for my favorite films of all time. They *never* get old for me! :D

"A Xenomorph who went to Julliard..." I actually laughed out loud at that one.

If this movie taught me one thing. Its that a real killer always asks about, the “little red button on the bottom of the gun”

This movie literally invented “...for scientific purposes of course”

Sad to read that Bruce Willis will end his days unable to form a coherent sentence - this was definitely one of his best movies. Thanks for the memories, big guy.

I'd be surprised if Tucker didn't base that character off Prince honestly. It's too perfect.

For a movie called The Fifth Element, I really expected a lot more boron.

“Gimme me the cashshshsh!!”

The mugger in the hallway is also the director of La Haine, another great French 90s movie

5:19 Nothing says "childhood ruined" like realizing the Eliminator TS-7 was just a flashlight covered in plastic knives.

That the hero and villain never meet in this film still boggles my mind.

Calling the Diva a Xenomorph who went to Julliard killed me, omg.

Bruce Wills' reaction to the mugger was real. The actor made him break with his antics.

"Anybody else want to negotiate", remains one of the most badass lines in cinema

"Modern Day NYPD," Ooph, that was spicy.

Interesting thou, how Chris Tucker‘s character is pretty much a prediction of the „I stream from everywhere I go“ guys of today.

"The Fifth Element." Peter Griffin: Ah! Ah! He said it! He said it!

'Negative. I am a meat popsicle.' is one of my favorite lines ever. I still regularly quote that.

Easily one of the best sci-fi movies ever made: It takes itself seriously enough to have real drama and heart, but doesn't take itself too seriously to avoid bogging down in its darker themes.

"lessons about consent" had me in stitches 😂😂😂

"Jedi school dropouts who won't hesitate to knock you out and steal your identity" This one cracked me up for good XD

They finally got me at "Present day NYPD" ha ha ha

The "Lessons about consent" part had choking in laughter

Oh man, it was such a joy to see a nod to Captain Planet. One of the best and most underrated cartoons that is more relevant today than when it was made.

To all people interested in re-watching this movie: you'll notice that in many cases, a scene cuts to the next mirroring a line of dialogue, or action. It's remarkable how often this is used in the movie but is subtle enough to not get too obvious either... it's like watching the movie for the first time again after you notice!

It’s definitely one of the best sci-fi movies of the 90s in my humble opinion

Gotta say, this is one of the best Honest Trailers. Not the funniest, not the cleverest, but a great balance of both.

I never realized the mugger’s hat served a practical purpose. Thanks, HT!

Chris Tucker ABSOLUTELY kills it!

I loved this movie, my date walked out of it & I stayed. That was a good choice 😂

Wait, wait, wait. Prince thought the costume was "too effeminate?" Prince? A man who's stage presence was at least 60% androgyny?

Fifth Element is one of the best movies ever made. I adore it! Also didn't need that heartbreaking reminder of Qui-Gon being killed, still too soon! :(

Ruby/Chris Tucker completed the movie for me, he was lol hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

The priest calls him "Mr. Willis" in one scene and Bruce actually corrects him and says "Dallas". I love that they left that scene in the film!

"Lessons about consent..." - pulls out gun :D

I used to enjoy this one online critic, and when The 5th Element came out, I sent him an email asking what he thought of it. My email included my enthusiasm for the movie (he didn't read my "review" until after he'd come to his own conclusions). His response was along the lines of "Someday you'll be mature enough to realize how much this movie sucks." ...which basically killed all my enthusiasm. But, every time I've seen the movie since that point, I've been like "this is so cool! I mean some of the parts are weird, but it's a lot of fun and these characters are interesting and the actors are good and it's colorful and has interesting worldbuild and there are parts where all sorts of related things happen at once and" etc. etc. I've never gotten to the point of not enjoying it. I don't know if I'd feel differently if I'd seen all the movies this was parodying/copying/whatever, or if I'd seen more than a couple Bruce Willis films in general, but it seems like a good movie and I don't know why that guy hated it so much.

This movie made every male fall in love with mila.

It's insane how much the movie predicted pod casts and live streaming and the wild androgynous youtube stars now, man this movie was so ahead of it's time

i named by dog Leeloo and she has fully embraced the name and believes herself to be a supreme being.

I don't care what anyone says. I ❤ THIS MOVIE!!!

And for all of the zaniness of it, it still managed to have a very touching and dramatic ending.

Yeah Chris tucker is literally RU-vid in this film

Who says this is the worst? I'll fight someone!!!

Fifth Element and A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy are my favourite sci fi movies of all time.

Some of your best work. Especially the STARRING section names were on point. Thanks!

"Darth Bezos.." Lmao

If we're opening the door to some oldies, I'd love to see an honest trailer for Stargate. 😂

Chris Tucker's scream sounds like a dying Pterodactyl.

Never realized the hero never met the villain until this video! I'm a little bit mind blown here LOL

I love this film, my husband and I quote it a lot. Especially "Aziz, light!" "Chicken, good" and "Multipass." 🤣🤣

“A Xenomorph who went to Juilliard” baaaaaahahahaha

I came for this because I couldn't find a "Pitch Meeting" episode. I was wondering how Pitch Meeting would treat a movie which is very entertaining but also very fanciful. I was impressed with your take on it, I will watch more of your trailers.

"Any body else wana negotiate ? Is my favorite movie quote ever.

Fun fact: Chris Tucker was nominated for the Razzie Awards for that role (which was so unfair imo)

Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would've immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.

This is the first Honest Trailer I have ever watched. I laughed a lot. Especially at the "Present Day NYPD". Well done!

Haven't Listened to one of these in a long time. You haven't lost a step. This was fantastic.

_The Fifth Element_ was an _awesome_ movie; a _textbook_ example of the kind of thing that typified the late '90's, when awesome movies happened because people focused on making awesome movies instead of launching or carrying on franchises.

Lost it at “a Xenomorph that went to Juliard” 🤣

This was one of the best... loved the post credit character description.

Best Honest Trailer in a long while. Thank you Thank you!!
