To his credit, Cornelius does say he's not proud of that, but they don't have time with the fate of the world at stake.

* MythologyGag: Considering that the entire movie is based off the Harry Canyon story from the French ''Heavy Metal'' it's natural that Mr. Shadow is a seriously beefed up version of the Loc-Nar; both are [[OmnicidalManiac Omnicidal Maniacs]], both speek in very deep voices, and the goal of both is the extermination of all life. There's even a female warrior (in Mr. Shadow's case, Leeloo) required to finally defeat them.

An ancient alien race that created the ultimate weapon against evil.

An ancient alien race that created the ultimate weapon against evil. Their name is "Monduchivans" in the language originally spoken by Leeloo.



* BenevolentPrecursors: They set up a [[AncientTradition secret order]] on Earth to safeguard the elements needed to fight the Ultimate Evil. They came back to remove the elements to a safer place when UsefulNotes/WorldWarI threatened them, and they were in the process of returning them when they were shot down by Mangalore warriors flying illegal starfighters supplied by Mr. Zorg. But even then, they had been clever enough to anticipate it and hid [[spoiler:four out of five of]] the Elements somewhere else instead.



* FeetFirstIntroduction: The first thing we see of them when they enter the AncientTomb is their stomping metal feet.
* LittleGreenManInACan: Are only seen in shells that have really big waddling rears with tiny dog-like heads that give them a very odd Humpty Dumpty appearance. The clunkiness is reminiscent of practical space suits and the shell preserves a sense of mystery about their true form-maybe they're giant eggs. The Mondoshawan have extensively modified themselves with cybernetics to adapt to life in space. The outer shell effectively ''is'' their body, and is only barely capable of moving around in terrestrial environments.
* MechanisticAlienCulture: Are they beings wearing powered suits of armor, or are they MechanicalLifeforms? It's pretty ambiguous. Then again, some of the dialog during Leeloo's reconstruction scene implies that the Mondoshawan have DNA.



* DiabolusExNihilo: The movie introduces The Great Evil, an angry, black sphere that doesn't even have a proper name, let alone a motivation. But how would Bruce Willis find a cute thousand-year-old alien girl to nail without it?
