@@anthonygarcia5375 So true. The French MAS-36/44/49 rifles had an integrated bayonet that could be locked onto the weapon for use and locked into the weapon for storage. This meant that two rifles could be locked together with no way of reaching the release tabs if anybody actually tried to. Turns out they did and so the design was changed so the two rifles could be separated.
Fun fact: Korben Dallas and Jean Baptiste Emanuel Zorg never meet, nor they communicate in any way. In fact, none of them are aware of the other intentions in the whole movie.
There was a scene in the novel right somewhere as the cruise ship was about to explode was a scene between Dallas and Zorg about a switch in the ZF1 other than the red button.
@@healthycigarettes5088 I think that switch created a protective force field around Zorg and allowed him to survive the explosion of the hotel. Then he landed on an ice planet just before the force field battery ran out.
I really liked the fact that even though they knew they botched the mission, they still tried to reason with some compensation for the ones that died. That was actually rational negotiating.

The acting and editing--intercutting between Mila Jovovich/the priest, and Zorg--is nothing short of magnificent. Yes, it's a standard technique, but it's pulled off perfectly, and Oldman owns this scene--in fact, all his scenes. At times, he sounds like a male version of Tootsie, but who cares? He's effin' brilliant.
I actually like how Zorg created such a small weapon with so much packed into it and even gave it a feature like a button press self-destruct. It kind of makes sense to put something on there, because if someone were to manage to corner the user of a ZF-1 and decided to steal one for reverse engineering, then the person could decide to blow themselves up to keep it from being taken and they kill whoever wanted it.
Most customers don’t have that kind of brand loyalty, I think it’s an anti theft device that Zorg would’ve disabled had they completed the transaction. Wayyyy too easy to push by accident or drop.
Besson or Oldman said that the blow at the end wasn't supposed to be that big that's why you see the second character act the way he does. As for Oldman he didn't flinched. I hope the story is accurate. 😂
This scene reminds me of a question I’ve always asked myself: why wasn’t this film more popular? Just awesomeness! I felt the whole movie was just mindless fun, nothing deep, complex, or profound, just a visual and audio joy.
My first thought was: "Because it's a dumb movie...really entertaining, but dumb" Then I remembered that's never mattered for a movie's popularity before so I have no answer for you.
Gary Oldman doesn't get enough recognition for this role. I know he's been great in everything he's ever done, but he was just impossibly brilliant in this film.
Just once, I wanted to see that *Replay* in action from a long range….. *Guy limping through a maze of hallways, outta breath, sits down under a medpack station ready to remove that one bullet in his thigh, when he hears whistling wind coming from a distance…. AND HIS PANIC TO REMOVE THE BULLET WITHIN THE 17 SECONDS HE GOT LEFT BEFORE THE REST OF THE CLIP CATCHES UP*
Fun fact: he hated the script. Actually he even confessed it was his « least favorite film he ever played in ». He took the role as a favor to Luc Besson who had funded one of his projects in the past. This guy is pure talent.
Gary Oldman is another superlative actor in this wonderful movie. I think that is why it's called underrated. He said that he used Ross Poirot as one inspiration
Think I laughed the hardest in the cinema when Aknot feels the joys of force feedback on his flightstick when shooting something to bits in his spacecraft.. (This wasn't a thing yet back then)
learn what the stick shaker in an aircraft control system is. they been around since the late 1970s to inform pilots that the aircraft was stalling out. pretty sure joysticks for pc gaming had haptic tech in them in the 90s.
When I first watched this movie, I thought it was a stupid design to put a red button that could destroy the user but now that I am older, I have comes to understand why that was necessary. He's an arms dealer with contracts with the government. If any of his latest model that he was selling to mercenary and terrorists were to fall into the hands of the government, he could find himself in a world of trouble. Added that button without telling any of his clients unless necessary, could remove any connections to him and his company. A smart safety precaution on his part.
it destroys the user and anything else in range. hence if you wanted to evade falling into nasty hands it would not only prevent that but take some of the enemy with you. terrorists would also like it to use it
He took out JFK, he hijacked Air Force One, and a few years later after being Zorg he helps Harry Potter before he becomes Police Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department. So many roles Gary Oldman played. He can act.
Gary Oldman as Zorg is CLASSIC! Great as a quirky, ruthless villain. But, THE GUN!... I abhor real life conventional projectile weapons, but THAT gun is da Shhhhhhhhh---T!
It's strange knowing that luc Besson, the director, went on to produce gary Oldman's directorial debut of the famous British "kitchen sink" drama nil - by - mouth in the same year. One of the craziest production - model shifts out there where material is concerned. Fifth element has the budget, but NBM has the poise and hard - hitting & raw structure. Both movies couldn't be more vastly different.
I absolutely love this movie and have seen it many times since I was a kid. But one point I still don't understand is the villain Zorg's motivation. Sure, he's a typical power-hungry and for-profit villain, but that doesn't explain why he supports a power (Mr. Shadow) that wants to destroy ALL life in the universe. That would affect him too, or am I making a mistake here? The same principle applies also for the devil's followers in the movie "End of Days" or for the armies of Thanos in "Avengers Endgame"
My guess if he would be unharmed, especially since Mr. Shadow was coming anyway n Nothing seemed to stop him. Its obvious in the movie he feared mr Shadow. N fear makes people do stupid shit
I always took it that Mr. Shadow was just a liar and told Zorg he's let Zorg rule. Probably would have double crossed him if Zorg had delivered the stones.
My interpretation was one of 50% awe and 50% business. Zorg is a weapons dealer, and Mr Shadow would bring about carnage and destruction. In Zorg's eyes that's a power to respect and also to make money from. In hindsight, yes he probably would have gotten screwed over anyway, but that's what I always saw in Zorg's motivation.
I never thought Zorg knew of Mr. Shadow's intentions. As a result Zorg just thought he was doing a very profitable business deal with a powerful alien.
Geez, why can't there be more movies like this? There is never a dull moment. This movie has aged so well.
In the remake we’ll see Corbin Dallas as the secondary character while Leloo does all the ass kicking.

And he knows his products well!

Gary Oldman deserves WAY more recognition for his sheer talent. He is always incredible in every role he plays.
A scene stealer fosho
Absolutely, he nailed my role in this film!
And his range is incredible
One of the most underrated actor in the movie industry.
i agree
“Empty. The opposite of full.” That part slays me.
Hell, the whole scene slays me.
Not as much as it slayed the people that didn't ask about the little red button.
Not to mention he does the same thing himself before he dies
"A real killer would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun". I love that line 😆
For real that's what would happen you give grunts a crate of guns with a self destruct button someone is going to press it

True. The closest they come to even seeing each other is when Zorg is going back on the ship as they’re leaving it.
That's because Zorg is not the antagonist.
I really liked the fact that even though they knew they botched the mission, they still tried to reason with some compensation for the ones that died. That was actually rational negotiating.
They were told to bring a case from a particular ship. Not their fault Zorg didn't figure out the stones weren't being transported and it was a decoy
1:39 Lol that clapping is gold.
The approval of the ZF1 is one of my fav parts!
I love Gary for his believable characters. Even when they are ridiculous, they are completely entrancing.
