Quotes

Zorg: 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?

Aknot: We are warriors, not merchants.

Zorg: But you can still count. Look it's easy. Look at my fingers, four stones, four crates, zero stones, zero crates! Pack everything up we're outta here.

Aknot: [Mangalores raise their guns] We risked our lives! I think a little compensation is in order.

Zorg: Oh, so you are merchants after all. Leave them one crate for the cause.

Mistakes

In the scene in the beginning when you first see the fifth element, and the camera moves up so you see the wide open mouth, look to the shoulder on the left. In the years of undisturbed dust, there are a few finger prints. See more...

Trivia

The Fifth Element (1997)

Directed by Luc Besson, starring Bruce Willis, Chris Tucker, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, Milla Jovovich (add more)

Genres: Action, Adventure, Romance, Sci-fi, Thriller

The priest gets Corben's name wrong because he's flustered, calling him 'Mr. Wallace' (possibly Willis, as an in joke, but it's always sounded more like Wallace to me). Bruce Willis corrects him. This is entirely intentional one way or another, and not any kind of mistake.

The Fifth Element mistakes

Mistake Revealing: Right after they "create" Leeloo and she is lying in the plastic cage with the little straps on her, the guy approaches her and says, "if you want out, you are going to have to work on your communication skills." She gives him a dirty look, and then you can see a huge hole, pre-cut in the glass, that she busts her hand through.

Mistake Continuity: When the police confront Leeloo on the side of the building, she raises her hands and we can see that they're covered in soot. She jumps off and lands in Korben's cab. When she comes to, she presses her hand against the glass, and her hand is magically clean.

Mistake Continuity: When Zorg is first seen walking, and the screen only shows his legs, there is an audible clank as he steps with his RIGHT leg. After that, the clank is heard from his left foot.

The Fifth Element quotes

Zorg: I don't like warriors. Too narrow-minded, no subtlety. And worse, they fight for hopeless causes. Honor? Huh! Honor's killed millions of people, it hasn't saved a single one. Tell you what I do like though. A killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough.

Thai: You got a message.

Korben Dallas: Yeah.

Thai: You should open it, could be important.

Korben Dallas: Like the last two I got before my divorce. First one was from my wife, to tell me she was leaving. Second one was from my laywer, to tell me he was leaving, with my wife.

Police: Are you classified as human?

Korben Dallas: Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
