Character Leeloo
Description Leeloo's transition from a fierce warrior to a naive, almost childlike character seeking affection from Korben seems inconsistent and abrupt, especially considering her initial distrust and survival instincts.
( Scene 14 Scene 23 ) -
Character Korben Dallas
Description Korben's sudden shift from a cynical and reluctant ex-soldier to someone willing to risk his life for a cause and a woman he barely knows feels somewhat forced.
( Scene 15 )
-
Description The advanced technology and societal structure depicted in the film seem inconsistent with the lack of basic security measures, like bomb detectors, in a luxury hotel like Fhloston Paradise.
( Scene 30 )
-
Description The explanation of the Mondoshawans entrusting the stones to the Diva Plavalaguna feels like a convenient plot device to move the story forward and introduce Fhloston Paradise.
( Scene 16 ) -
Description The Diva's cryptic statement, "They are... with me," leading Korben to discover the stones inside her body feels like a forced and implausible way to resolve the plot point of the missing stones.
( Scene 36 )
-
Description Zorg's philosophical monologue about destruction and creation feels out of place and overly expository, serving more as a plot device to explain his motivations rather than authentic dialogue.
( Scene 17 ) -
Description Korben's mother's constant verbal abuse and over-the-top reactions, while comedic, stretch the boundaries of believable dialogue.
( Scene 20 )
-
Element Scenes of Leeloo consuming large quantities of food
( Scene 15 Scene 26 )
Suggestion These scenes could be trimmed or combined to avoid repetition and maintain narrative momentum. -
Element Chase sequences involving Korben's taxi
