"Leeloo Dallas multi-pass! Multipass!"
"Yes, she knows it's a multi-pass!"

One of the funnier scenes in the movie. I particularly liked the pacing with how various people/aliens tried to pretend to be Korben to get on the ship. And the dialogue with Leeloo/Korben and the Flight Attendant is hilarious.

> About the only tedious aspect was Jovovich running around in that thermal-bandage getup at the beginning of the movie. Excessive and it certainly didn't show her off in the best light.

No, but it certainly showed her off, eh? Err, sorry.

I *love* 5th Element. Demolition Man was okay, but to me 5th Element is a totally underrated movie. Great visuals, great cast and a plot that doesn't take itself seriously while still being a pretty good story (albeit cliched, but that was partly the idea). I particularly think that Bruce Willis' performance is one of his best; half the time I think he's parodying himself while still being true to the character ("Anyone else want to negotiate?"). I could go on about this movie for hours, but I won't.
