“Whoa, lady! I only speak two languages: English and bad English.” No other phrase could describe Korben Dallas
more perfectly. Bruce Willis stars as short-tempered Korben Dallas, a New York cab driver simply trying to make some money while still keeping his license and the city intact.
That is, until a beautiful woman literally falls in his back seat. There’s only one thing, he’s living hundreds of years into
the future in this 1997 film, “The Fifth Element.” Along with the supreme-being Leeloo, played by Milla Jovovich, Korben must fight to save the universe from Evil. The film is filled with flying car speed chases, kung fu, aliens, explosions and the
always hilarious Chris Tucker. What more could you ask for?
Bruce Willis is no stranger to action considering his past films, and Milla Jovovich gives an excellent performance playing
the key to salvation. But sci-fi fans beware: this film was made in 1997. Therefore, the special effects may not be up to your standards. The film itself has a comic book feel to it through colorful scenes, outrageous characters, and of course, the bad guy. If you’re a fan of films such as “Star Wars” or even Mel Brooks’ “Spaceballs,” I highly recommend you watch “The Fifth Element.”
“The Fifth Element” was nominated for an Oscar in 1998 for its effects and won an award for best fight during the MTV
Movie Awards that same year. “The Fifth Element” is rated PG-13 for intense sci-fi violence, some sexuality and brief nudity.
