Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet where we're wrapping up our look at classic 90s

unstoppable sci-fi. Love it. Do you? Have you had a good time on this journey so far? I love doing content.

That was not my question. I don't believe you and that's not my question. Well, that's the only answer

you're going to get from both me and my lawyer.

Wow.

That's right.

Anyways, of course, we're looking at the fifth element. Yes. From 1997. Much requested. Once again, buy one guy. And once again, this is not for them. And what are you going to do now? Yeah. Oh, that's a great point. It's a real, as the Dark Knight said in the movie The Dark Night,

the dog catches the car, what happens to the car?

Car gets it back up again. Oh, that's a great point. It's a real, as the Dark Knight said in the movie The Dark Night,

the dog catches the car, what happens to the car? Car gets it back up again. Flying car. Correct. Fifth element. Chitty, chitty bang bang. No. That's not sci-fi, that's magic or something. Anyway, we just chose to do this. It makes sense. Please leave a like. Now, because ordinarily, if somebody demands you do something, you will out of spite, not do it. Yeah, and that's not just in this. This is in my real life. In every aspect of your life. That's why you haven't brushed your teeth in 20 years. Why now? Why this one now? It's just time to talk about the fifth element? It was either this or soldier or Stargate, but I feel like that's going to go in some other category we do. This is more fun. This is a fun film. And it's a fun film. This is maybe the true successor to Star Wars. That's interesting you say that because it is that kind of... It's colourful. It's Muppety. Yeah. It's got a charismatic dude.

It's a big weird guy movie.

Yeah. Where there's like big weird alien guys, but just big weird guys. It's got people getting kissed against their will.

Sometimes we make notes for these videos. I mean, you always do. I sometimes don't.

I have one note and it just says the fifth element and then it says, uh, hey, maybe don't kiss a barely conscious woman. Great point. And then I've had some time to think about it. Definitely don't do that. She also might have brain damage. You don't know. Well, she's, she's also the trope we know of born sexy yesterday, as they say. Although, okay, yeah. Although, were she always, Milo Jovovich?

And when she's in the big suit?

Yeah, okay. Is that a suit or a sarcophagus? Is that the mummy 2017, that situation? Did she look like that and they made her new and fresh? Oh, great question. Don't know. Is she ageless? Maybe that weird, horny scientist made her like that.

But he seemed surprised.

Yeah, he didn't... Yeah, that's true.

Anyway, what this has that Star Wars doesn't have is horny. Yeah, that's probably true. Also, Star Wars doesn't have a big evil son that's visiting Earth and it has a terrible attitude. And that's the main villain, I guess. Wouldn't you say the Death Star is a terrible attitude? It's a big dude with a terrible tude I think it's neutral and the people inside It bring the terrible attitude You could do good things with the Death Star I think there's probably enough people in the Death Star That you couldn't possibly judge what their attitude is I don't think they're a monolith Could you use the Death Star for good? Like trimming a hedge Absolutely you you could. Digging a trench. Yeah, sure. Right through a planet. Yes. Anyway, the evil side is called Mr. Shadow and he can speed through space at light speed and he can make telephone calls. What is he exactly? We don't know some kind of ancient evil. What's his plan when he gets to Earth? Just crash into it, I guess.

It's lucky that in the future of Earth, they were still using telephones. I know. Maybe he'd go there and maybe his initial plan was like, I'll go there and I'll send a fax. I'll send a fax to tell people my intentions of destroying the Earth. Oh, it's not connecting. It's going on. We don't use faxes anymore, Mr. Evil Planet.

Come on, man.

Yeah.
