If you don't like this movie, then I'm pretty sure you're dead inside. At the very least, you don't know what happiness is.

I'm going to name my first son Corbin Dallas Bradley. I mean that.

Big badda boom.

let’s just get this out of the way: i went through this entire movie thinking zorg was billy zane...?!?!?! i was like WHOA crazy how he’s doing the same rich villain character from titanic, also released in 1997, except in SPACE. why don’t we talk about this more often? 

then the credits rolled and it said ZORG — GARY OLDMAN and i answered my own question :/ legitimately a more oscar-worthy transformation than the darkest hour

This could have been an instant cult classic, drenched in an exuberant campness reminiscent of films like Ice Pirates and blending fantasy with science fiction in a way not out of place in eighties classics like Krull.

It fleshes out a vivid universe and manages to muster up an engaging plot.

And just look at that cast:
Willis
Oldman
Holm
The immaculate Brion James.
And even whatshername is ok.

And Chris Tucker.

Chris fucking Tucker.

He singlehandedly destroys this entire film with a voice that would make the toughest among you cry for mercy.

He's like getting a hangover while you're drinking.

OK i went with my friend to see it at the theater and when i got back from the bathroom before it started, my friend loudly told me "you're the only one here who hasn't seen it" WHEN I WAS GONE SHE TALKED TO EVERYONE ELSE AND EXPOSED ME HDJSJSHSKSLBD BYE

LOVE!!! IS!!! WORTH!!! SAVING!!!

Probably nostalgia that makes me like this so much

Absolute deranged nonsense. Supreme being is a mental retard and Chris Tucker’s character is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen

Some quick thoughts. Hmmm weird plane scene, interesting singing scene, and dang girl really had some leverage over the dude. Anyways I can be the fifth element. I mean if you just squint your eyes and use some imagination I could look like it.

This was really bad

Miss Plavalaguna in that rubber dress breaking it down with her flute voice is the single best scene the 90s produced. they truly just don't make em like this anymore

Chris Tucker not getting a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for one of the greatest star-making turns of the 90s is karmic payback for Luc Besson giving Milla Jovovich just one good action scene.

I could feel Moebius' influence all over this even before I'd known he was hired for production design. And the look of it is easily its most redeeming feature—otherwise, it's kind of just a dumb cartoon for horny kids.

The more times I watch this film, the more I fall in love with it

Light.

The speed by which the reality of our universe is defined, the relative instant of existence. 

There is nothing faster,

except, of course, the rate at which characters are introduced and exposition is given in this movie.
