** In a [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels roundabout manner]], the ''exact'' moment the campaign starts to properly go OffTheRails is early into Part Two, when David fucks up speaking the Divine Language in such a way, that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the following happens]]:
--->'''David''': ''[[WordSaladHumor Father, are you out of your toaster?!]]'' [[WordSaladHumor Because there are bacon, and also different kinds of stools, running all throughout the river!]] ''[[OhCrap We've got to get to the river, Father!]] '''[[OhCrap The river is the most important part of the entire story!]]'''''
--->'''Joz''': [[FiveSecondForeshadowing Okay!]]
--->'''David''': [[FailedASpotCheck Jesus, I love commercials!]]
--->'''Andy''': I just look- I look at the Supreme Being, and shrug, I'm like, "I dunno-"

* TheOtherDarrin: [[invoked]] Because Leeloo hadn't been recreated yet, Paulo allowed Joz to take over David so she had a character to play for the brunt of Part 1. Once she's able to play Leeloo, she hands him over to Scott. Funnily enough, this winds up benefiting ''him'', as ''[[OutOfFocus he too]]'' was in need of a character by that point.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: ''Barely'' averted: When Billy decides to slide tackle the Mondoshawans to stop them from taking the five elements, Joz winds up [[OhCrap Crit Failing the necessary roll]], causing Paulo to decide that means he trips over himself, falls into one of the Mondoshawans... which knocks him over, and causes a domino chain that, thankfully, manages to stop before taking out the ones carrying the elements.

to:

* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: Unlike Father Cornelius (who speaks the Divine Language fluently), David has a much shakier grasp on how to talk to Leeloo, and has to make an Intelligence check every time he talks to her so he can make sure what he's saying is actually comprehensible. When he fails a check, Scott plays this out by [[WordSaladHumor substituting random words for what he intended to say]], which Leeloo commits to without question.

Episode 151- of Podcast/FilmReroll. Based on [[Film/TheFifthElement the 1997 English-French sci-fi action cult classic.]]

In the year 1914, Professor Picoli and reporter Billy discover a series of ancient ruins in an Egyptian temple, talking about a series of five elements that, when brought together, will create a weapon that is the ''only means'' of destroying some great evil that will befall the world every 5000 years. And despite the desires of a local priest of an ancient order to keep this secret, the point quickly becomes moot as a race of aliens, Mondoshawans, arrive. War is coming, and Earth can no longer be trusted with the elements; they vow to return with the elements, the fifth stowed away in a mysterious sarcophagus, when the time is right.

[[TimeSkip And that time occurs in 2263.]] A mysterious giant flaming entity is on its way to Earth, and it seems that the only means of destroying it lie in acquiring the five elements before it is too late.

And it appears that our hope lies in a the latest priest to have joined the ancient order, a jaded taxi driver who had left a life in the military, and a clone of the organism in the sarcophagus.

Starring Andy Hoover as Father Vito Cornelius, Scott Aiello as Korben Dallas, Joz Vammer as Leeloo and Paulo Quiros as the Dungeon Master.

It's only when they insist on making their discovery public that he decides he needs to poison then, but even then, he has difficulty pouring it, and winds up spilling the vial.
-->'''Father Chenzira''': Alright, how do I feel about murder, let's find out...
* ButterflyOfDoom: As Paulo explains to everyone, if Billy's Crit Fail tackle causes the Mondoshawans to drop the elements, they would be ''drastically'' altering the future. [[AvertedTrope Luckily, the domino chain doesn't go that far.]]
* CallBack: The prospect of Billy needing to roll Scrounge to try and find the bottle of Grapa is broached, everyone brings up how Paulo developed an obsession with it in one of the [[Recap/FilmRerollClue Clue]] recordings.
* CreatorThumbprint: Due to the Perception roll fiasco[[note]]getting a Crit Fail, followed by an immediate Crit Success[[/note]], Scott says that describes ''every'' action movie role Creator/BruceWillis has ever played.
* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Downplayed: Paulo accidentally says the campaign opens in 1913; he's one year off.
* DeathByAdaptation: Unlike in the movie, Billy was inside the temple when it closed; everyone agrees that means he's gonna die in there.
* EyeScream: Due to a Crit Failed Persception roll just as he's about to leave his apartment, Paulo narrates that when he was feeding his cat, Korben had unknowingly gotten some of the cat food on his fingers, and when he was rubbing his eyes to wake up, he got cat food in his eyes, and they start to burn. [[ZigZaggedTrope But then,]] because his next (penalized) Perception roll was a Crit ''Success'', Paulo is forced to declare that his eyes cleared up quick.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Because Billy accidentally mishears him say "vanquishes" as "banquet" due to his accident, Professor Pacoli proceeds to [[SarcasmMode sarcastically congratulate him]] for pointing out he's not good with English.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: ''Barely'' averted: When Billy decides to slide tackle the Mondoshawans to stop them from taking the five elements, Joz winds up [[OhCrap Crit Failing the necessary roll]], causing Paulo to decide that means he trips over himself, falls into one of the Mondoshawans... which knocks him over, and causes a domino chain that, thankfully, manages to stop before taking out the ones carrying the elements.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: An accidental variation: In the movie, Billy makes it clear that Professor Pacoli was actually ''killed'' by the Mondoshawans, not (as the shot of him collapsing implied) knocked unconcious. Here, Paulo says he just was made to fall asleep.
* SpoofAesop: "Kids, never get cat food in your eyes."
* TakeThat: Scott claims Creator/BruceWillis' entire acting career can best be summarized by how he's roleplaying Korben Dallas waking up: An extended bit of confused groaning noises, sounding hung over.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: During the intro to the campaign, everyone comes into agreement that they are working against the current in terms of ''actually doing the movie'', given how a lot of how the plot came together boiled down to chance.
* WhenAllYouHaveAHammer: Andy [[InvokedTrope quotes this directly]] when he discovers that Paulo gave Father Chenzira a ''ton'' of options for murder in his equipment.
