I. WANT. THE. STONES.
- The Evil. A planetary mass of pure destructive energy hurtling towards Earth. Its history with the Fifth Element hints that even if its corporeal form is neutralized, it will eventually manifest another mass and try again. The military try blasting it, but as an absolute incarnation of all malice and aggression, the attack only feeds it. It then retaliates by swallowing it whole as it manifests a fiery humanoid skull to do so. Then it swallows some satellites so it can call Zorg and its voice manages to be the most genuinely chilling part of the whole film as it proves to be not only demonic, but makes it clear that it is fully sentient and fully aware of its actions rather than just being an incomprehensible creature. There's also the fact that anyone who gets too close to it starts leaking cranial fluids.
- An archaeologist stumbles across records showing how Earth used the Stones and their mysterious fifth element to combat the Evil every few centuries. A priest that had been tracking them decides to kill the archaeologist just for getting too close to the truth. When the Mondoshawans arrive, they follow through in full view of the archaeologist's assistant, who is understandably panicked. The priest trying to calm him down and assuring him that they're the good guys despite having just conducted a murder in plain sight doesn't lessen the tension one bit.
- The fact that the world seems to operate as a police state much of the time, as the cops can look into your home easily to check on you, point six remote guns at you for smacking a wall, or six cop cars can blast you with half a dozen machine guns each for being a suspected car thief.
- Mangalores are Space Orcs that routinely attack en route vessels for their cargo. What's really unnerving is that they're changelings. You could be sitting next to a Mangalore disguised as your best friend or loved one without realizing it. We see at least one Mangalore struggle to maintain its glamor, but this only makes him even creepier. If their leader Aknot is any indicator, they're also really durable, as he triggered a detonator and survived the point-blank explosion, albeit with serious injuries.
- The blacklit chamber where Professor Mactilburgh and General Munro talk turns their eyes neon green, which comes across as really freaky considering they're planning to repair and reanimate a corpse.
- Korben forced General Munro and his troops to hide in his fridge. By the end of the scene, they're frozen corpses. Munro does appear later on alive and well, but remember that these scientists can clone the dead.
- As much of a despicable bastard Zorg is, the scene where he's choking is very uncomfortable to watch. Zorg struggles and desperately tries to reach for something, anything that can get the fruit out of his throat while futilely gasping for air letting out horrible grunts while he slowly and painfully suffocates.
