Trivia:

Continuity: In Korben's apartment, just after Leeloo rings his bell, there is a back and forth conversation between General Munro and his two aids and Korben. When the camera is behind the trio, the General's male aid is obviously in front of the General. When the camera faces the trio, the male aid is very obviously behind the General. The camera switch occurs several times during the conversation ("Major, who is it?" "My wife." "You're remarried?" "Yes - no . . ." etc. etc). Each time the male aid has switched from in front of the General's shoulder to behind the General's shoulder. moreQuotes:

I really believe that they billed this movie wrong. Many folks came in expecting the next Star Wars and were disappointed, to say the least. It's not like Star Wars. It's kinda like a live action comic book. Visually stunning, awesome use of color that just jumps out at you, and non-stop action, lots of it done with tongue firmly in cheek. Plot? Well forget the plot, it's the weak point of the film. But hey who ever said comic books had to have strong plots? Willis, Jovovich, and the rest do a fine job. I especially like the casting of Jovovich, she exudes innocence, vulnerability, sex, exotica, intelligence, and kung fu machismo all at the same time. So turn off the cynicism sign as you watch and just enjoy the ride. Great stuff!
