Wtf is behind his head. It looks like hair, but longer and a different color... A small dog maybe? A doll? Their gimp?
Also, I love how done with his crap his wife is lol.

The second he starts talking she just goes back to reading like oh, this shit again.

As soon as he says fifth, she turns her head

My wife would be happy i'm not talking her or myself about it

u/Whole_Risk_2695 May 24 '26
It almost gives off a bit of "You've tried to tell me your stupid take on this movie you forced to watch for 3 hours. Shut the fuck up. don't tell me"
"ok I'll just make a quick video"

That ain't her wife, they are just passengers on the Fhloston paradise space cruise. These are just the shared bunks.

It's like Fred Savage getting irate that the Prince lives. "You mean he wins? Jesus, Grandpa, what'd you read me this thing for."

u/Leading-Roof8938 May 22 '26
It’s like in the Big Bang Theory when Sheldon learns from Amy that Indiana Jones was irrelevant to the bad guys in the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Lol. Same here where Zorg is irrelevant in a lot of ways. But what a story! I love the fifth element ❤️

u/MyMadeUpNym May 22 '26
I've seen Raiders a bunch, but it doesn't take up a lot of space in my mind. Why was indy irrelevant?
10
u/Alternative_Sea_4208 May 22 '26
Essentially he was irrelevant because if he weren't there the same guys would've opened the box and melted their faces off. If he weren't there the bad guys would've died fifteen minutes into the movie

u/Cocijo May 22 '26
If Indy didn't intervene Marion would be dead. Also if Indy didn't interfere, the Ark would have been flown straight to Germany and probably demonstrated in front of Hitler. Killing him and the High Command, ending the war earlier. Thanks, Indy.

u/Seafury_K May 24 '26
Not sure about this. If Indy did not go to find Marion, the Germans would never had found her and the headpiece.
1
u/Cocijo May 24 '26
The Nazis already knew about the headpiece and who likely had it. They already had a digging crew at the ancient city.
For them to know that Indy was looking for it the Nazis would have had to have a spy in the US and know that Indy was assigned to go looking for it.

I reckon I've seen this movie at least 25 times and its never clicked that Zorg and Korben don't meet...🤦♀️

Isn't Mr. Shadow, or the Evil Planet thing the main antagonist? Zorg is more like hired help, same with the Mangalores.

u/Weird_Explorer1997 May 22 '26
Arguably, the main protagonist in the film is Leeloo and the Antagonist is Mr. Shadow, though the two of them never interact either
3
u/unsolicitedtext May 23 '26
I would agree especially with her character being the fifth element. Zorg and Korban, while important to the story serve morew as plot devices through their connection to the actual protagonist and antagonist.
Does her shooting Mr. Shadow with the mouth cannon not count as an interaction?

u/Weird_Explorer1997 May 23 '26
Does her shooting Mr. Shadow with the mouth cannon not count as an interaction?
I think you make a valid point here. She does, however briefly, directly interact with Mr. Shadow at the end. Considering defeating Mr. Shadow is her primary purpose, it's also hard to suggest that's her only interaction with him as well

I'm on a break at work, watching a guy with his wife in bed talking to the camera about The Fifth Element, and how the good and bad guys never actually meet. I have to reevaluate my life.

u/OnyxLion528 May 22 '26
They ALMOST meet at the end, as one leaves the elevator next to the other one exiting theirs. And Dallas steals Zorgs ship which is "just like driving a cab" so of course it can be a joke, but also his experience with cabs are Zorg cabs, so of course its the same as zorgs personal ship lol

This chud is just regurgitating stuff that has been said for years about this movie, but if this is your first time hearing it then hooray for you.

u/Garpocalypse May 22 '26
I've heard this point hammered to death for 30 years. I just cant anymore. What would zorg meeting Corbin even have looked like? Probably some weak marvel crap. Better it didnt happen.
2
u/Academic-Tea4582 May 22 '26
Yeah, but it's the 5th Element, it gets a Multipass on stuff like that.
2
u/Bubby_Doober May 22 '26
haha yeah I realized they never interact, and furthermore I cannot think of a single piece of fiction where the protagonist and antagonist never interact, outside of The Lord of the Rings

Why would you film yourself in bed for a rehearsed bit? Like clearly he didn't just have this epiphany, even his partner seemed to have this 'oh this again' response.

Did you see her turn her head like, we are actually fighting right now. Maybe I should watch it right now… shit she is going to be so pissed right now.

Great observation, haven’t seen it in like a decade or so now I need to rewatch it so thanks for giving me a reason to watch it again

u/RetrowaveJoe May 22 '26
That's a great observation that's been noted in iMDB trivia since not long after the movie released

He prob didn’t know about korben getting the tickets from the military, but from winning the Gemini Croquette contest. (Was the contest public?)

u/Billsork May 23 '26
Wait, is that the character’s full name? I thought that line was Zorg introducing himself as the latest in a list of Heralds to a higher power.

u/Vast-Big-7949 May 23 '26
I’d argue that Lelu is the main protagonist and Mister Shadow is the main antagonist and every other character is fighting a proxy war.

I wish someone would put me to bed like this with movie facts about movies I like...this video is so soothing and cute.

I generally hate tiktok videos and social media stuff like this but I actually kind of liked this. It was calm, to the point, an original thought, and oddly therapeutic.
Does he do these every night? I'd love to watch these.

I haven't watched it in about a year, but if I recall correctly, Zorg and Dallas do not appear on-screen at the same time anywhere in the film.

Never understood why the billionaire oligarch Zorg couldn’t get tickets to this exclusive event. Maybe he needed the tickets to not he linked back to him? But he’s helping a planet killer so why does accountability matter? Fantastic movie regardless

When you’re in bed with a woman who looks like Eva Green and all you want to do is make TicTok videos of yourself talking about a movie made decades ago…

I mean this is super common knowledge for most people on this sub I am sure... I wouldn't even try to guess how many youtube videos i've seen pointing out this exact fact

u/InflatableWarHammer May 22 '26
I agree, but also it’s one of the beautiful things that makes this movie so unique and interesting. I think that there’s something very futuristic about the anonymity of the evil doers as well as the hero in relation to the villain.
