LOVE this movie! The Fifth Element First time watching Reaction 

The thing I find most interesting about this movie is that the main hero, and the main villain never meet and are totally unaware of each other.

The Fifth Element is one of a kind: Too bad there isn’t more of these!

Bruce Willis recently retired from acting after being diagrnosed with Aphasia. Wikipedia: Aphasia is an inability to comprehend or formulate language because of damage to specific brain regions.[2] The major causes are stroke and head trauma; prevalence is hard to determine but aphasia due to stroke is estimated to be 0.1-0.4% in the Global North.[3] Aphasia can also be the result of brain tumors, brain infections, or neurodegenerative diseases (such as dementias).

The Fifth Element has been on my top 3 since it came out. it's SO great, I think I've seen it around a 1000 times and it never gets old. We watch it as a family every Christmas as well, because funnily enough, it used to be on TV during Christmas in the past, so now it's just....THE Christmas movie for us. I hope they never remake it, cause the new version could never top this. The casting is just way too perfect.

LeeLoo was my first crush! I love this movie as a teen and it still holds up. I have watched this at least once a year since I was 13 hahaha

A great reaction. This is such a fun movie to watch. And Ruby Rod is killing it in every scene his style and his one liners. :)

Fun fact:The director Luc Beson,had the idea of the "5th Element" since he was 16 but the film and his idea are very different And the character of Ruby Rhod potrayed by Chris Tucker was originally going to be played by Prince...no joke

Now you've seen him in The Sixth Sense and The Fifth Element. You should watch him in Death Becomes Her, it's a comedy, has him, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. Also Mercury Rising. he's good with kids.

His shirt matched her hair!! Synchronicity Singing & Fighting! Good movie!! 🍿

Super green reaction James! Lot to love about the Fifth Element! The mugger in the beginning is such an odd little moment, but I love it. The thing on his head is a picture taken from the angle of Corbin's security camera so it looks like the hallway is clear. Who knows how long he's been standing there? 🤣🤣🤣 On rewatch, look out for circular elements, usually toward the center of shots, and the use of the number 5 and its multiples.

Great reaction, nice to see you enjoying it so much .This is how the reaction to this movie should be, I have watched a lot and so many people try to over analyze it and completely miss its just a fun,roller coaster ride of a film with great cinematography and they just dont get it. Interesting fact the character of Ruby Rhod was originally offered to Prince but he turned it down as he didnt like the costumes ,Im glad he did because I think Chris Tucker nailed it.

This is one of those that's just done so well, you totally miss how insane the plot is on the first viewing.

This is such a great flick. Glad you enjoyed it.

This has been one of my favorite scifi movies since it came out in '97. glad you enjoyed it dude.

I really like the depiction of the densely populated city. It is unique from most other visions of earth's future. And then there is Ruby Rod, played by Chris Tucker, but seems like a comic caricature of Prince (the musical artist). Ian Holm, the priest, also played "Ash" in the movie "Alien".

Out of the dozens upon dozens of times I've watched this over the years, never have I ever noticed the President's belt buckle.😆👍

I saw this movie instead of going to my senior prom. No regrets whatsoever.

Chris Tucker is so hilarious in this one! Had me rolling! Too funny!

The guy who played Ruby Rod, the radio DJ, is Chris Tucker. He's probably most famous for the Rush Hour series of films. The first one is Rush Hour (1998), which you should check out since you seemed to enjoy his performance in The Fifth Element. If you want another science fiction film with some cool ideas then you might like The Minority Report (2002) with Tom Cruise.

I remember when this came out. The blue singing alien was one of my favorite scenes. This was a fun ride.

.You're my newest favorite youtuber , and this is an all time favorite movie of mine. So seeing this upload truly brought such a big smile to my face ! Thank you again so so much

Chris Tucker as Rudy Rhod always makes me laugh uncontrollably 🤣

When still watching your intro I was already super excited for your reaction! Because I'm always excited about people watching this movie! ^^ I LOVE it too, and I've watched it a lot of times back then with family and friends. And it's still a lot of fun to watch even nowadays. 😃 Good choice everyone, hehe.

I love the implication that our first moon came from the same event thousands of years earlier lol

This is such a fun movie! So glad that you got to see it. A couple of suggestions for your movie list. Another Bruce Willis movie (that is underappreciated) is Hudson Hawk (1991). The first movie that I saw Milla Jojovich in is Kuffs (1992) and stars Christian Slater (Pump Up the Volume (1990) and Broken Arrow (1996)) but to see her in all of her fighting glory check out the Resident Evil series. Now, for Gary Oldman...watch Leon: The Professional (1994)

The director wrote the script while in he was in high school and he finally got to make his movie in his adult years.

The guy with the crazy headgear who tries to rob him, the screen on his head was painted to look like the corridor outside the door. When you step out it looks like the corridor, till he lifts his head. He's a well known French actor, Mathieu Kassovitz.

Milla Jovovich has a string of movies out in the "Resident Evil" franchise. Chris Tucker is a standup comedian who went on to do comedic roles in film, even if the film itself wasn't specifically comedic. He's best known for his early appearances in black films, but then joined up with Jackie Chan in the "Rush Hour" franchise. Gary Oldman has done a lot of serious work, but is very much a chameleon, managing to look very different in every role he takes on. You would know him best as Sirius Black in the "Harry Potter" franchise, Commissioner Gordon in more recent "Batman" movies, and starred in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" with Wynona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, and Keanu Reeves.

28:33 - his neighbor is a junkie (considering his behavior, a jonesing junkie), so Korben was getting mugged for drugs.

Little behind the scenes trivia - Luc Besson had married and knocked up Maiwenn, who plays the Diva, well before she was 18 (He met her for the first time when she was 12 and he 29, they had dated since she was 15, married and had their daughter, Shanna Besson, at 16) and during making the 5th Element, Luc started a relationship with Milla and dumped Maiwenn.

Storytime: I was 14 when this came out. I had originally planned to see this movie with a boy and some mutual friends, like a peer-chaperoned date. I was so excited to see this film and hang out with the popular kids, without grownups! Well, I get to the theater, and I buy my ticket, but I don't see anyone I'm supposed to meet. It's getting close to showtime, so I go get seated and hold a seat for my date just in case they were late. They never showed up. I sat there enjoying every scene and line of this movie. When it was over, I went to the entrance knowing that my mom was coming to pick me up. I saw her car and was just sliding into the seat when I heard my name being called from near the ticket window. I looked to see my date and everyone else I was supposed to meet up with giving me the two handed "where were you?" gesture. I was so humiliated and frustrated that I just gave them a frown and a shrug as I slammed the door and told my mom to floor it. Hot tears started to paint my cheeks as I told her about what happened. It was obviously a small mishap, but to 14 year old hormonal me, it felt like a set up. This movie was the best part of that day and, unlike my date, did not disappoint. Still one of my absolute favorite movies.

As an opera singer myself, I can give some great recommendations. DO NOT START WITH WAGNER. Even though the source material is cool, it will kill you if you aren’t ready for it. My recommendation is to start with either a simple fairy tale or a comedy. The Barber of Seville is a great first opera, it’s funny like a Bugs Bunny cartoon without dealing with much of the politics of the time. Mozart’s The Magic Flute is a simple comic fairy tale, but it also pokes fun at serious themes in more serious operas. It’s also a great introduction to opera. Don Giovanni is also a good option (also by Mozart) if you want something that’s somewhere between a romantic comedy and a serious story, and the music is also glorious (it’s Mozart after all). Any Mozart opera is a decent starting point for opera, if I’m being honest, The Marriage of Figaro runs a little long, but it’s funny and heartwarming too.

In case no one told you, this movie had the largest "in door" explosion ever. Probably been outdone now but just a fun fact. :)

This is one of the most imaginative movies ever made. Memorable and unique. I don't know anyone who hates this movie.

I adore this movie. Chris Tucker is so hilarious. He really outdid himself for this part.

Really enjoyed your reaction, as usual you make rewatching these old movies fun again. Thanks.

That was a fun ride. Great choice. Keep em coming.

I always assumed that Korben lives in a bad neighborhood where robberies are common. Really fun movie.

Leeloos "divine language" was invented by director Beson and further developed by actress Milla Jovovich. Milla speaks four languages fluently; Russian, Serbian, English and French. Milla and Luc Besson married after the filming.

The visual design of this movie is so damn good. Love it.

What a joy to watch along with you on this movie. Thanks for going on this journey and sharing it with us all! I look forward to your posts each week, and as a stay at home dad they help me along with chores at home.

I always liked this film's offbeat approach to sci-fi. The aliens are just as interesting to look at as the humans are. I also liked how Willis was a take-no-crap off no one straight man to Chris Tucker's goofy off-the-walls future radio dj. Apparently, he took inspiration from Prince, and you can really see it in the fashion he wears and the voice he uses. Leelu is also a great character and I like that her and Corbin find happiness at the end. Gary Oldman, though, is the hands down best thing about this movie, in my humble opinion.

Chris Tucker , for some reason made me giggle through this movie. Bruce Willis has all of my respect and love.

the little explosion was pretty hot when the shapeshifters blew themselves up, meaning Gary Oldman mentioned the clear plastique kinda melted to the back of his neck!

This is is my favorite sci-fi movie ever. Gary Oldman is great in every role he plays. You should check out Air Force One, with Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman. It's from the 90s and it's great.

the weird DJ is Chris Tucker. recommend watching Rush Hour with him and martial arts legend Jackie Chan

Zorg never learns but I can't be mad at him. Zorg is all of us driving away from a drive-thru without checking the bag.

Fathom Events is offering this in theaters for its 25th anniversary. Late June. I love this silly movie. Ian Holm, the priest, is Bibo Baggins. Gary Oldman is a chameleon. He has been Beethoven, Churchill, Dracula, Sid Vicious, Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirius Black, Zorg, and who knows who else because we didn't recognize him.

Besides how amazing the technology and characters are, I love the story behind it. The creator wrote this as a teenager with a dream of his favorite comic book artists (I think thats what they were) designing his ships etc and he achieved all that. Its so inspiring.

Hey James, just curious... would you consider making a video about any/all of the movies you HAD seen before starting this channel? Were there any? Surely you must have seen a dozen or so? Or one or two? Have you ever even been to a cinema before? What was your favorite film before starting the channel? Do you have a new favorite now? Might be an interesting video to watch and probably easy to make since it would just be you talking.

Hello, could you add "October Sky" (1999) to your request list? I enjoy your reactions and thanks for your time.

I'm glad you liked this movie. It's so much fun. One of my favorites

I love this movie so much, seen it 32 times and my cat is named LeeLoo!

6:36 I assume he gets held up a lot and the weapons are all the ones he took from previous robbers.

How many times will Bruce Willis be asked to save the world? 🤣 This is truly one of the best movies of all times, in my opinion. It is funny how these things were meant to exist in out past. I wish we had some of these machines! The scene with the opera song was AMAZING. And the references I'm sure you heard during your lifetime and now know where they were taken from: -Big bada boom! -Multi pass. Are truly so good. Thanks for reminding me about Gary Oldman playing here! I did not remember that. To me, he'll always be Sirius Black (and if you haven't watched the Harry Potter movies yet, please do response videos for them! 😊).

I'm so glad this movie didn't get franchised. I feel it stands out because it didn't get any sequels, if it came out 10 years later we'd probably be on the 13th element by now🙄

This was one of my mom favorite movies I miss her.😢😇🙏 Another good movie is a couple musical movies paint your wagon, Gigi

Chris Tucker the guy who plays the DJ is so good in this movie and steals every scene he's in. Other good Chris Tucker movies include Rush Hour 1&2 (Co-staring Jackie Chan), Money Talks, and Friday.

Wow that’s so cool…I wouldn’t have thought this was your taste..glad you liked it brother! If you liked Chris Tuckers performance..check out “Rush Hour” with him and Jackie Chan..it’s a classic!

Cool. You're one of the people who get this movie. I loved it also. Believe it or not some people just don't understand the randomness of it. Definitely in my top 50 favorites.

Love this movie! It's so creative with an original premise.

Gary Oldman is a legend. This movie isn't his greatest character example though. He's in tons of movies and sometimes you can't tell it's him. He becomes the characters so well.

I’ve seen a few of your reactions now and so glad you did my favorite movie of all time! 😊

Just going through various reactors to The Fifth Element and this is my first time seeing a reaction from you. You are "awesome" and I had such a great time watching you enjoy this movie. I can hardly wait to see other movies that you react to.

Oh yeah, and the actor who played the priest, Ian Holme. He also played Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy as well as the android in Alien, which you reacted to on the channel.

The main girl in this movie amazing amazing acting from her she does such a good job

nice, here we go.

Great stuff. This is very much a French movie though. It's just made in English for international market.

I'm so glad you loved this movie. I seems like people fall into either "love it" or "hate it" camps with this one. It's one of my favorites for sure and so easy to rewatch and still enjoy each time!

Best thing about this movie was the preview that featured absolutely no plot reveals or dialogue

19:30-This Opera is considered as being among the ~3 hardest songs to sing ever written; enjoy

Another great reaction video. You should watch the TV show Moonlighting, it ran from 1985 to 1989 with Bruce Willis. He was going in it, it's what launched his career

u should see Ruby Rodd (Chris Tucker) and Jackie Chan in all the Rush Hour trilogies. they r hilarious!!

You should react to Leon the Professional, by the same director! and starring the Gary Oldman from this movie!

still love this movie so much ! new suscriber to your channel, great to have your perspective on these movies given your background ! cheers from france

Please consider adding to the list: "V.I. Warshawski" - 1991 - comedy "Undercover Blues" - 1993- comedy "Reign of Fire" -2002 - sci fi "The Kingdom" - 2007 -action "Argo" - 2012 - thriller "Nothing to lose" -1997- comedy

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 my second favorite Bruce Willis movie! I LOVE THIS flick !!!!

It seems like the priest was the antagonist and Zorg was the protagonist. Because Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman were only in the same scene for less than a second.

Even as a european, I'm amazed that this is a european movie.

That was green!!!...hehe....Glad you enjoyed this movie

One of my favorites!!!!!!!!!

I watch this movie at least once a year.

an entertaining film from the time when Willis still had hair. Mila Jovovich then starred in the Resident Ivil series, which I highly recommend.And come to think of it, Lily's resurrection scene seemed to be the first in the cinema to demonstrate the concept of a 3D printer before anyone even thought about making it happen!

One of my TOP 1 favourites movie's ❣️❤️🥰

One of my all time favorite, cult classics. Really enjoyed and appreciate your reaction James!

the DJ guy is played by Chris Tucker. He plays in a popular franchise called Rush Hour. It's a action comedy. Not sure if you plan on reacting to it in the future. Depends on your taste.

Wind blows Fire burns Water falls Earth supports 5th Element loves

Mary Poppins 1964 , Oliver 1968 , The Sound of Music 1965

Weird film, but visually stunning. Ruby Rod is awesome.

That 2nd moon would cause SO much chaos on the planet, I think we might still all be doomed. :-D

Ukrainian girls are one of the best things this world has to offer. Milla Jovovich is so cute in this, but I fell in love with her when I was a young lad myself and saw her as a 16 year old prancing around naked in Return to the Blue Lagoon. She looks even better in that, just, insanely beautiful. Perfection, as they keep repeating in this film, but she did look much better in RttBL. (that's not a recommendation by the way, pretty bad movie, aside from Milla) She's been in some other good movies (Chaplin (1992) where she was also naked and underage opposite a young Robert Downey Jr in the role that defined his early career, Dazed and Confused (1993) - seminal film but overrated IMHO, and Zoolander (already on your list, I think)... but those were all bit parts and this is almost inarguably her best role. She was the lead in Resident Evil but even if you're a fan of the video games that movie probably isn't worth watching. Willis I know you're familiar with and his other good movies have already been recommended. Gary Oldman has got to be one of my all-time favorite actors for his pure versatility... Just imagine him (the guy playing Zurg in this).. in the role of Ludwig van Beethoven (which he did in Immortal Beloved (1994)), or Dracula (Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)), or Winston Churchill (Darkest Hour (2017))... and he played each of those roles to perfection. What range! He was also Commissioner Gordon in the Christopher Nolan Batman films which I think are already on your list.

I saw this one in 97 and remember thinking it was just this weird movie, then last year, watched it again with my kiddos, and just absolutely loved it for all its weirdness! Funny how viewpoints change over time. The DJ in this movie, Chris Tucker, is probably best known for the Rush Hour movies from 1998 to 2007, fun little action comedies with martial arts star Jackie Chan, and worth adding to your list!

Those aren't elements they're states of mater. And the 5th element is Boron, not love. I explained all this to the theater manager 25 years ago but he refused to give me a refund.

I saw this in the theater with my brother and sister and it's visually mind blowing! Such an amazing experience! It has elements of BLADE RUNNER, Metropolis, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Solaris, 2001: A Space Odyssey, RoboCop, Die Hard, The Abyss, Stargate and Species.

Talking about flying cars... I'm actually glad we don't have them. People can barely keep up with 2 dimensions. Imagine the chaos when "Mr & Mrs Hangover" have to deal with a 3rd one... xD

Great video, Ruby Rhod played by Chris Tucker has also other amazing movies like rush hour, hopefully you can watch this soon 🙂

Movies to watch, all fantasy. Willow - 1988 And in case you haven't actually watched them yet: The Hobbit - 2012, 2013, 2014 The Lord of the Rings: 2001, 2002, 2003. Most people watch the Lord of the Rings first since those movies came out first, but I'd like to see someone watch in chronological order in how the story takes place so I'd like to see you watch The Hobbit movies before. Your Patreon's may think otherwise though. But watching in chronological order is also good since the fandom generally agree that The Hobbit trilogy isn't as good so you can start off with decent movies and end with the sequels that are considered among the best movies of all time. Ian Holm who is in the Fifth Element and plays priest Vito Cornelius, is in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies.

This reaction's Super Green. Most epic hairstyle in scifi other than Princess Leia is Rudy Rod's DongFro.

If you ever elect to see an opera, I must suggest you see "Carmen" by Georges Bizet. You'll probably recognize most of the music, but getting the story with it is amazing.

I love the visuals for this movie.
