Directed by: Luc Besson
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Dane DeHaan, Elizabeth Debicki, Cara Delevingne
Jolly the Pimp: Rules are rules and this is a place where we make love, not war.
Doghan-Dagui: We know how humans work. They are all so predictable.
Sergeant Laureline: Clearly, you have never met a woman.
Sergeant Laureline: It's our mission that doesn't make sense, sir.
Bubble: I know all of Shakespeare by heart.
Igon Siruss: I'm fighting for a noble cause, too. Mine.
Sergeant Laureline: I didn't come here to get a makeover.
Bubble: I'm afraid of a kiss, like a kiss from a bee.
Continuity mistake: When Bubbles is dancing for Valerian, as the cat, she whips the drink in Valerian's hand and knocks out of the flower in the glass. The next shot shows Valerian putting the glass down on a table and the flower is now back in the glass.
Trivia: The bounty hunter who follows Valerian is in a bar named Korben's - Korben Dallas was also Bruce Willis' name in The Fifth Element, also directed by Luc Besson.
Question: Why is the Alpha human population economy in shambles? The gargantuan Space Station Alpha resembles a fort in the outer fringes with brothels, military and Savages. Not a place of science, technology, cultural sharing.
Answer: During the movie it is told the humans have been in wars, its possible the economy is in shambles because of a recent war or the drag of a war from the past, perhaps even the war that destroyed planet Mul. Because of the failing economy there are more brothels, scavengers, crimes and it isn't the original space station that left Earth's orbit all those years ago.
