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.

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

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

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

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

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.

"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

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

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

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

“Lessons in consent,” had me dying

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

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”

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

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

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

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.

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.

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".

This trailer is rated: SUPER GREEN.

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.

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.

Chris Tucker’s costumes were literally rejected Prince costumes 😂

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

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

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

Xenomorph who went to Juilliard, that cracked me up.

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

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.

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

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

"Anyone else wanna negotiate?" Love that line.

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

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

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

"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

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

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

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! :(

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

“Gimme me the cashshshsh!!”

The "Lessons about consent" part had choking in laughter

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

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

Chris Tucker ABSOLUTELY kills it!

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!

"The Present NYPD." DAMMMN!! You guys didn't hold back! That was savage!

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.

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!

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

_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.

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

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

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

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

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

Leeloo has taught us that we all need a bit of turning on to function 😏

"Hero's Midlife crisis" is a storytelling method they should definitely be teaching in film schools

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

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

Chris Tucker's scream sounds like a dying Pterodactyl.

Yeah Chris tucker is literally UKposts in this film

“A Xenomorph who went to Juilliard” baaaaaahahahaha

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

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.

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

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.

One of the best things about this movie is the editing. I think that is why it holds up so well, along with great acting.

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

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

"Darth Bezos.." Lmao

This movie made every male fall in love with mila.

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

"This summer..." * confused southern hemisphere sounds *

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

Fun fact. The mugger with the hallway picture is Mathieu Kassovitz, the director of Gothika (2003), with Halle Berry and Robert Downey Jr.

Say: "Waffles are just pancakes with abs"
