Trivia
The Zorg Industries ZF-1 Pod Weapons System was actually based upon an AKSU-74 compact assault rifle.

The alien who detonates the final bomb at the hotel uses a device which is actually a MasterLock with a timing lamp attached.

The hero (Bruce Willis) and the villain (Gary Oldman) never meet, nor do they communicate in any way. They are, in fact, unaware of each other's degree of involvement

Goofs
When Leeloo throws the box of stones to Zorg, the box is rotating to the left (as seen from the screen), but after the clip just after the throw, the box is rotating the other way.

In the scene, when Vito Cornelius tries to convince the president, the actor playing him has a little blood-spot on the right eye (as seen from the camera - it's his left eye actually). Later on - it disappears.

When Leeloo has crash landed in Korben's taxi cab, when she looks up through the glass cab panel she has a strand of red hair across her nose and cheek that could be taken for blood, explaining why it "disappears" later.

Mugger: Gimme da cash!

Korben's Mother: Oh, I get it. You wanna make make your only mother to beg. Is that it? Korben Dallas: No, I don't wanna make you beg. All I want is an explanation. Look, I just got in. I just smashed my cab, I lost my job, I got mugged. Besides that, everything's peachy. Thanks for asking. Now will you just settle down and explain this to me calmly.

Q
Who dubbed the Diva's singing?
A
Albanian opera singer Inva Mula. The selection she sang was from the Italian opera "Lucia di Lammermoor" Act 3, Scene I ('Il dolce suono mi colpi') by Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti.
Q
Why did the Mondoshawan take the stones from the temple in Egypt?
A
Right before the leader of the Mondoshawan opens the secret chamber in the temple he says that "...war is coming, stones not safe on Earth anymore." He probably means that, given the year of 1914, that World War I might spread to the region where the temple stands and the secret chamber and the stones could be discovered. Additionally, World War II is in the future, barely 20 years hence -- Nazi Germany sought to seize control of Northern Africa, as did Fascist Italy & the temple could be destroyed during that time as well.
Q
What is 'The Fifth Element' about?
A
Former Special Forces Major Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), currently working as a taxicab driver in the 23rd century, is more than surprised when an orange-haired woman calling herself Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) suddenly falls into his cab. Engineered to be 'perfect', Leeloo is actually a divine creature placed on Earth to deflect 'the Great Evil', an interdimensional weapon that comes to Earth every 5,000 years with the sole purpose of destroying all life in the Universe. Korben and Leeloo, together with Father Vito Cornelius (Ian Holm) and interstellar radio personality Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker), must retrieve four elemental stones in order to trigger the fifth element that will defeat the Great Evil. However, ruthless businessman Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) and his team of mercenary Mangalores are also searching for the stones, and they will stop at nothing to get them.
