History Recap / FilmRerollTheFifthElement

* AintTooProudToBeg: After Father Vito tries to get the general to put his gun down [[GuileHero by lying and saying Leeloo is threatening their lives if she is impeded in getting them to the river]], David (realizing what she ''actually'' said) admits to the truth and practically pleads with the general to not shoot her. And it's only because Scott succeeded by Diplomacy by ''one'' that the general puts the gun away.

-->'''Scott''': ([[YouHaveTOToBeKiddingMe near pleading]]) ''Why would you tell him that?!''

* {{Understatement}}: When Leeloo tries to overpower the limo driver in order to hijack it, Paulo has to the two of them roll Strength. Paulo succeeds by 2 for the driver, [[ForegoneConclusion while Joz succeeds by 8 for Leeloo]]. "Yeah, so, you kinda overpowered him."

** After the Neo-Whigs grab the limo driver before he can return to the limo, David immediately decides to just jump into the driver's seat and take off without him. [[DefiedTrope But thanks to Andy failing to resist on "Sense of Duty: Humanity",]] Father Vito opts to instead jump out to try and save the driver, and ''Leeloo'' refuses to leave ''him'', and the distraction causes Scott to resignedly discover David has his ''own'' sense of duty for Father Vito and the Church, and land the limo.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After having his burrito stolen by Leeloo, and being forced to hand over his lab coat to her, one of the scientists in the conference room opts to just leave.

* AlmostFamousName: Paulo decides on the spot that David's [[NamedByAdaptation last name is "[[Creator/DavidDuchovny Duchovny]]".

* AGodAmI: [[invoked]] Parodied: When the players mistakenly assume the limo driver is Korben Dallas, Paulo shoots that down, clarifying that Korben hadn't deviated from his portion of the plot yet to justify that[[note]][[FailedASpotCheck and also because they are in a government limo, not a taxi cab]][[/note]], causing Scott to petulantly state Paulo doesn't know that:
-->'''Scott''': [[NoYou You don't know that, Paulo, this is not your world...]]
-->'''Paulo''': ''[[AwesomeEgo I am! This is my world!]]''

%%* CityOnTheWater: After drifting out to sea, our protagonists discover a floating village populated by tribals and beset by a ravenous SeaMonster called the Muntawa.

%%* CrisisOfFaith: Actually meeting the Supreme Being and having to wrestle with her unique quirks seems to be wearing on Father Vito's faith, given a few throwaway comments by Andy.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: The mere fact that the Hudson River ''exists'' in 2263. [[WordOfGod Luc Besson has gone on record]] that in the world of ''Film/TheFifthElement'', Earth's water had been exported for colonization purposes. The closest this gets to being explained in the movie itself is [[https://imgur.com/6W5InkH a brief shot]] of the Manhattan skyline when the passenger ship takes off, revealing that the sea level had become ''very'' low, to the point where Manhattan rested on a mesa.

* TranslationConvention: Due to Father Vito knowing the divine language, we get to hear Leeloo speaking in English even when others in the room can't understand her.

* InstantExpert: Leeloo has the perk ''Wild Talent'', which allows her to instantly gain a new skill five times per session if she succeeds on a roll (which her insane stats basically guarantee). Thus far she's a master at Acrobatics, Piloting (FlyingCar), Swimming and Singing.

* KickTheDog: During his intro in Part 3, Scott mentions how some fans of the show recently attended a performance of ''Theatre/RichardIII'' he was in, but wound up missing; he wound up learning about it when his wife mentioned it on Instagram. In response, Andy decides for some reason to float the possibility that, similar to the play, [[{{Gaslighting}} his wife was lying to him]].

* 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.

* CuttingTheKnot: Meta: Due to Father Vito knowing the divine language, we hear Leeloo speaking in English when she talks with him.

* 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.

* TheOtherDarrin: [[invoked]] Exploited: When it comes time for Joz to play Leeloo, she announces that she failed another one of David's Fright Checks, causing Scott to decide to take over him for her.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The description for Part Two explicitly mentions how they take [[ExactWords "a]] [[OffTheRails hard right]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero turn"]].
