[[WMG: Zorg is a descendant of Professor Pacolis assistant Billy Masterson]]
Billy saw what the Mondoshawans did to the Professor and shoot at one of them, he than saw how they removed the statue and the stones (or at least he saw them removing something from the temple). From his perspective they werent exactly the good guys. The start of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI probably didn't help.
He drew the Mondoshawans in his note book and probably wrote down what happend in the temple as well and this notebook was passed down in his family till it came to Zorg. The percipient mistrust towards the Mondoshawans in Zorgs head, that grew out of this was enough for "Mr. Shadow" to gain a foothold in his mind and that's all it needed.
Additionally maybe the fear of the Mondoshawans return is something that drew Billy to gain wealth so him or his descendants can be ready for when they come, and Zorg is just the latest and richest in line.

** Alternate take: Leeloo is naturally genderless/intersex but assumes a form that's compatible with who she's going to bond with that cycle. All of the elements need to be exposed to a sample of what they represent to be activated and Leeloo is no different, to activate the fifth element it needs a partner so when the time comes it assumes the appropriate form for whomever their destined to bond with this lifetime. Leeloo assumes a female form because that's what Korben is attracted to if he'd been gay Leeloo would have appeared to be a man instead. It doesn't matter that Leeloo didn't meet Korben until after a gender had been chosen as it was always going to be him that would act as the trigger to the fifth element.

[[WMG: The nonsensical "meat popsicle" line was actually a code phrase.]]
The cops see no reason to investigate further, even when they're actively looking for a specific person, because he told them he was a meat popsicle. Given that he's a ridiculously experienced covert ops specialist, it's entirely likely that was a SpySpeak phrase that they recognized as "I'm a government agent, and you're in way over your heads."

Suggestion re Shadow and Zorg's deal

* There's actually a much simpler interpretation: Zorg did a deal with Mr Shadow because Mr Shadow offered him a lot of money. No questions asked. So why is he so scared of him I hear you ask? Because he's super intimidating and seems to be able to make people bleed from their scalp at will.

[[WMG: Leeloo was originally Genderless/Intersex]]
Being a perfect Being, with DNA similar, but vastly more complex than ours, Leeloo probably wouldn't have anything we understand as full on "gender" however due to the reconstruction machine being a human made invention the process was "flawed" and with the remaining living cells in the hand being mostly XX, Leeloo was rebuilt functionally female, with any remaining XY cells being dismissed as contamination from the people handling the limb.

[[WMG:''Film/ValerianAndTheCityOfAThousandPlanets'' takes place in the same universe.]]
There's nothing stopping it from happening. Alpha could well have been in orbit - albeit much smaller and pre-release into space - the whole time ''The Fifth Element'' was happening. Valerian just happens later.
