Together, they must save the world. Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman star in acclaimed director Luc Besson's outrageous sci-fi adventure, an extravagantly styled tale of good against evil set in an unbelievable twenty-third century world. Now presented in full 4K resolution, experience this dynamic action favorite like never before. Box Contains Because of its striking vision and slam-bang sci-fi action, The Fifth Element has long been a prime show-off disc for home-theater owners. The third DVD release, the two-disc Ultimate Edition, is the best one yet. It's essentially a Superbit Deluxe DVD, reserving the first disc for the film in a high bit-rate picture and DTS sound borrowed from the earlier Superbit DVD (a tiny Superbit logo is displayed on the back cover) and an interesting though barely legible subtitled trivia track (text only so it doesn't take much disc space). From the greater detail to the more natural colors, it's a better viewing experience overall. The second disc contains two hours of featurettes, produced in 2004 and new to DVD. In fact, it's the first Fifth Element DVD to have supplemental features of any kind. Topics covered include visual effects, how the aliens were created, Milla Jovovich's screen tests (you can watch four of them), and the French artists whose comic books provided the initial inspiration and earned them an invitation to work with the design team. Jovovich, Bruce Willis, and everyone else involved in the picture seems to make an appearance, except director Luc Besson. --David Horiuchi Review: Glorious - Glorious. That is all. Review: Our favourite family sci-fi film. - A favourite family film. Well until my daughter dyed her hair the same as Milla Jovjovich’s Leeloo.

That is all. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our favourite family sci-fi film. *by S***K on 20 April 2026* A favourite family film. Well until my daughter dyed her hair the same as Milla Jovjovich’s Leeloo. We laugh about that now! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another gem for the SF collectors. *by R***S on 16 November 2016* I first saw this when working abroad for several days at an exhibition, and it was looped on the screens of the stand opposite ours. To my amazement I was still not bored with it when we packed up at the end; for an SF enthusiast like me this is most unusual because all too often Hollywood SF is so clichéd and full of plot holes it is not worth watching. But this modern fairy tale, where as usual Good after many trials and tribulations eventually triumphs over Evil, is from Europe. The Fifth Element broke the usual commercial studio rules and showed Hollywood how it should really be done; resulting in high quality Space Opera with such classic style and superb acting and glorious imagination one can forgive it anything. I bought my copy in Nov 2003 soon after I returned home. Bruce Willis plays Bruce Willis as usual, and yet somehow the character is appropriate to the part. The heroine is beautiful and vulnerable and yet redoubtable and necessary, the villains are suitably villainous and essential to the plot, the military display their customary intelligence, and Chris Tucker adds lunatic spice to tip the whole film over the precipice into an eminently watchable delight. This film is frequently repeated on commercial TV, and each time we say, "Ah, we've got that one, lets cut the commercials and watch the DVD instead." And that is when one notices that the 5.1 sound and 2.35:1 picture quality on the DVD are both significantly better than the usual bit-rate-starved Broadcast, even though watching and listening on the same big screen and surround system. My Special Edition 2-DVD version has on the second disc a number of interesting extras including a 'Making of' documentary, four revealing and interesting featurettes about the conceptions behind the film, and the usual trailers and advertising material used to originally promote the film. The last item is a tempting teaser that this was only the first half of the story, but alas so far Besson has said that a sequel will not happen. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Fifth Element (Ultimate Edition) - Demolition Man (DVD) - Galaxy Quest --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/169863356-fifth-element-dvd-1997-region-1-us-import-ntsc](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/169863356-fifth-element-dvd-1997-region-1-us-import-ntsc) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
