** Given that Leeloo has an ''absurdly'' stable and redundant genome, and the theme that the Fifth Element is actually reproduction and the spread of life, it's possible that Leeloo was originally supposed to simply have children. Her genes would persist across countless generations, and eventually almost any human would have her as a common ancestor, and could stand within the weapon and defeat Evil. It's a far more reliable solution than betting on a single supreme being not being killed in a starship crash; but given the age of the universe, the plan may have been lost along the way and the Mondoshawans were just another leg of a long relay of species caretaking the Weapon and the Elements.

* Also, why did Korben's car have an attack detector (not a collision detector, specifically an attack detector)? Is this a hint at a VERY violent future that has this as a standard feature, or is it just Korben being a smidgen paranoid?

* Alright, so 99% of this movie just runs joyfully on the MST3KMantra. I'm fine with that! But the dual point that I just cannot wrap my head around is A) how on earth Plavalaguna ingested those stones in the first place, and B) how on earth she was planning to get them out again, if she hadn't been [[spoiler: fatally shot]]. Can her species unhinge their jaws? What gives?

*** Also, given the nature of the Fifth Element, it is not inconceivable that the beam was specifically designed to hit the Evil Planet, wherever that is at the moment (and the beam itself might be of the nature that hits ONLY evil, whatever else is on its way). The reason why Evil happened to be directly above has been explained... above.

* Considering that the Earth is ''turning'' and also ''orbiting the Sun'' how come the beam was able to ''actually'' '''hit''' the Evil Planet? The Evil wouldn't be that dumb to precisely follow Earth's motion just to be ''perfectly aligned'' with the ''only thing which can defeat it''.

** That assumes it obeys the laws of physics as we know it. The dead planet was an eldritch abomination that was impossible to study when it didn't want to be studied, grew stronger when attacked, caused black ooze to trickle from mortal foreheads, and got defeated by a love-powered beam weapon. Maybe the Light of Creation neutralized its destructive ability to the point that it can't even destroy the Earth passively via tidal forces anymore.

** Despite Zorg implying that the Mangalores lacked subtlety, they seem capable of being subtle and withholding violence when needed. Aknot infiltrated Fhloston Paradise and posed as part of the wait staff without raising suspicion. Most likely the Mangalores had spies listening in Zorg and decided to try replacing Dallas.
