#FIFTH ELEMENT HOW TO#

Martial Pacifist: She's horrified as she learns what humanity has done historically, but she knows how to kick ass when necessary.

Klaatu Barada Nikto: She says 'Klaatu Bara ta Nikto' shortly after getting into Korben's cab in the novelization.

Instant Expert: Learns English in the space of about a day, by speed-reading the 23rd century equivalent of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Innocent Fanservice Girl: No qualms on stripping and changing clothes in front of men.

Glass Cannon: As described by the Diva, Leeloo is more fragile than she seems she can fight, but she can be hurt, and her heart is even more vulnerable than her body.

From a Single Cell: Leeloo is regenerated from a hand in a glove with a few living cells remaining.

Expy: Was based on Laureline from Valérian.

Cosmic Keystone: She is one part of it, along with the four-set stones.

Clone Jesus: Though she isn't really cloned per se.

Break the Cutie: The moment she learns about human's history and propensity for war.

Birthmark of Destiny: Leeloo carries the symbols of the four elements as a marking on her wrist most identify as a tattoo.

Big Eater: Likely a byproduct of the regeneration process, but holy HELL, Leeloo was hungry! She polishes off an instant roast chicken, dumps the bones in the trash, and immediately goes back for another.

Beware the Nice Ones: She's kind, sweet, playful, and devoted to protecting all life.but if you piss her off, she can take down an entire platoon by herself.

Xtreme Kool Letterz: Instead of, say, 'Corben'.ĭavid: (after witnessing Leeloo strip in front of him) Wow, they really did make her.

We find him very close to losing that job finding Leeloo pushes him over that edge.

The Taxi: He drives one, after retiring from the military six months ago.

Sole Survivor: Apparently the only member of his highly-elite special forces unit that's still alive, which is the final reason why he's being offered the mission by General Munro.

Sleeves Are for Wimps: At times wears an orange or grey sleeveless shirt ( perfectly expected).

Sexy Backless Outfit: In an uncommon male example, one of Korben's T-shirts has a cut-out at the back.

General Munro is assigned to bring him back for One Last Job.

Retired Badass: Has recently left the army.

Justified by General Munro in that he's a former member of one of the finest units in the Federated Army, he's the most decorated soldier in the entire unit (meaning if anyone can do it he can), and he's the Sole Survivor of the unit (so they can't exactly go ask the others).

One Riot, One Ranger: Korben is the government's choice to go retrieve the stones 'discreetly,' instead of sending an entire team.

Bruce Willis never saw this performance before it was filmed and was naturally moved by it. This is also a case of Enforced Method Acting.

Men Are Uncultured: Subverted, he's utterly awestruck at the Opera.

Majorly Awesome: He held the rank of Major in the Federated Army's Elite Special Forces.

Composite Character: Inspired by the futuristic taxi drivers S'Traks from Valérian and Harry Canyon from Heavy Metal.The Comically Serious: At least in comparison to Ruby Rhod.The Call Knows Where You Live: He initially tries to back out of the mission, but after Cornelius and Leeloo barge in to steal his tickets, he reluctantly decides to take it to go after them.

Bruiser with a Soft Center: Leeloo brings it out in him.

After meeting Leeloo, he has to go on a mission to save the world. A former soldier of the elite special forces unit of the Federated Army, now a divorced cab driver. Aristotle had to make his observations about the world and then hypothesize an element that had yet to be observed.The protagonist.

The other four elements in nature were easily observed by scientists, while ether remained hidden. Yet, the fifth element, ether was different. Aristotle later hypothesized that ether was the fifth element in the spaces between the celestial spheres in his work ‘On the Heavens.’Īfter Aristotle, the classical explanation of the five elements dominated the Western scientific thought until the Renaissance. 348 BCE) wrote about the elements, identifying ether as being the brightest part of the air. According to the ancient Greeks, the Universe existed as a system of celestial spheres in which Earth was stationary, located in the center, with all the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies surroundings it in spheres that governed the movements. These fundamental elements of fire, air, water, earth, and ether were the foundations of the universe.
