The Fifth Element

Character mistake: Right before the door of the tomb closes and traps one of the Mondoshawans inside at the beginning of the film, the Priest says "hurry, you still have time". But there is not enough room left for the Mondoshawan to squeeze through.

Suggested correction: It is not said for what there is time. Maybe not to get out but to do something else - we don't know what these aliens can do, but the priest could. The Mondoshivan manages to get the key out; maybe that was meant.

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. Maybe my entry wasn't clear enough. Even if the Mondoshawan did have enough time to escape, it still wouldn't have been able to fit through. It would be literally impossible. So what the Priest said was still incorrect, in my opinion.

Continuity mistake: 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. (00:32:35 - 00:33:20)
