Answers To Open Questions

The following is some E-mail from people who want their opinions to be heard. Do you have something to say? TELL ME!

-What did they do to that Mondoshiwan carcass in the beginning? (Bury, cremate?)

-Did the Mondo even die in the beginning? (Only his hand was crushed) - Actually the Mondo's suit was leaking the gases necessary for him to survive in our atmosphere. He may have been alive for a while, but he wouldn't have lived long after Billy shot him. Submitted by: drkgaia@aol.com
-Was the professor killed or was he just 'put to sleep'? He might have waken up afterward with no memory of his findings. How do we know what Red Eyes do?
-Was Korben "chosen" for his role in saving the planet, or simply an innocent bystander? (He tells his cab computer "I had a horrible nightmare")
-How many points do people get on their licenses in the future? He lied to 'Fingers' "at least 50...". This still doesnt give us any clue as to how many people get.
-If 'Fingers' "flew over 1000 missions with Korben", then how come that General Munro said "of all the members of your squadron, you are the only one left alive"?
-Was Zorgs right-hand-man a robot? How did he explode? Or was it the phone? Eiether way...he talked like a goon!
-Was the helmsman of Fhloston Paradise a broken robot that couldn't hear well? Or was he a deaf man? Or was the first mate just mad at him for some reason?- The helmsman is not deaf, it'd military tradition to recite the command given it lets the officer know that the command was understood. <>Submitted By: James Steimel
-Did the Diva know the future? Why did she put those stones IN her? What kind of operation is that?- Okay, think about this then also; The bullet that she was shot with most likely would have nicked a stone or broke it, right? Submitted By: Bill Quiverlance
-Why did the bomb detector take 15 minutes to kick in? And how did it know the exact count the bomb had? If it could measure the count on it, couldn't it have detected the bomb earlier?- The ship was probably too busy with everything else going on, the detector didn't detect the bomb until everything quieted down. Submitted By: Richard/Dee

Bombs only can be detected once armed, and once armed, even with todays technology we could detect the 'timer', how long until it was activeated. Submitted By: eb dawking
-How did the Mangalores manage to smuggle such a HUGE explosive onto Fhloston? How did they even get on in the first place? Did they actually pre-book months in advance?
-Why did the President call Korben to ask for help when the ball of fire was coming? How would he know what to do?-Simple, he was the one with the 4 stones and Leeloo. They knew that Leeloo and the stones were needed to stop the ball of fire and that Korben had them, so why wouldn't they ask Korben for help? duh. Submitted By: Tom Olshan
-Why wasnt Korben going faster than light in the first place? We got a world to save here!
-If 'Mr.Shadow' never went running towards Earth, then how was Leeloo going to kill it? Long range fire? Is that safe?
-Is our current Moon a past evil that was destroyed?
-Will the new Moon Earth has affect the tides?- Yes it would. The fact that it stopped 62 miles away from the Earth would be a little bit more of a problem. I think that it'd readily be towed away (at least I hope so) as so it would not collide or destroy ur already existing moon; or planet. Submitted By: Bill Quiverlance

Answers To Things I Don't Understand:

Note: I DO NOT want any more responses for the Mangalore's ear! Please continue to send me stuff, just not so many 'ear' reports. I will no longer post them.

MANGALORE'S BROKEN EAR:
Actaully, I figured this one out in an instant.. That's Aknot; somehow, he survived pressing the "little red button at the bottom of the gun" (you know it's him because of his lines; "If Zorg wants the stones, he'll have to negotiate... Revenge is at hand!") His ear is supposed to be "broken", to show his injuries... Notice he is sitting down with a blanket of some sort wrapped around him when we see him on Phloston Paradise. Submitted By:Robert Randall

This could be a bad mask or that was some old Mangalore whose ear was coming off. I think it is after the explosion scene when the magnalore presses the self destruction button on the z100 ( I forget thename of the gun) and he barely made it, but almost in one piece. That's why his ear is following apart. Submitted By:PROTYPE487

LEELOO'S EYES:
Really, this seems kinda to tiein with her condition...She has been shot quite a bit, and is struggling to stay alive and concious. She does the same "eye thing" when Korben is tryiung to find out how to open the stones. Now, again, this makes you ask, "Then how come she wasn't that way during the 'Pictures of War' scene?" Well, if nothing else, Korben had just begun taking care of her wounds, so maybe possibly she was feeling better. Submitted By:Robert Randall

CHOCOLATE-SYRUP BLOOD:
This could be some kind of 'evil blood' or something like that. I'm sure it's just his evil presence and leaves part of his entity behind his victims to mark them. Submitted By:PROTYPE487

Additional Comments:

The Mangalore that had his 'ear falling off' was not a goof. It was not a cheap costume or an old Mangalore. If you noticed that same Mangalore was also clutching his left side which was covered with a blood soaked cloth. The Mangalore was in a battle and had obviously been injured. His ear that was falling off was one of those injuries. Submitted By:Tom Olshan

Father Cornelius' belt buckle. Now, we all know that the symbols for Wind and Water are different (Horizontal curvy lines Wind starts up goes down comes back up again then finishes by pointing down. The opposite for Water.). On his buckle he has one of these symbols twice, and it takes the place of the other. Submitted By:Bill Quiverlance

Near the end of the movie when they are back in the temple in Egypt, Cornelius brings out the stones to assemble the 'ultimate weapon'. He gets a little confused and thinks that the one he's holding horizontally is for fire. Korben takes this stone and heads off to a pillar to see how it works. Okay, when he reaches the pillar the stone has changed from the thought to be fire stone to the real stone for fire. Submitted By:Bill Quiverlance

By the way, do you remember that Leeloo said that she had gotten to the letter 'V' in the computer program for learning Earth history? V is the 5th last letter in the alphabet. Submitted By:Bill Quiverlance

When Korben kisses Leeloo awake she tells him something. Later after he's kicked out the door he asks the priest what 'Neck-tow Gam-at' means. The priest answers back "Never with out my permission". Okay with all that out of the way, (laughing) Leeloo said more to Korben when he woke her than 'Neck-tow Gam-at'. When you add in the rest, what does it all mean? Submitted By:Bill Quiverlance

About the Neck-tow Gam-at thing, what she is actually saying is (if I'm not mistaken) "never kiss me without my permission" I can't remember where I read it though. Submitted By:Richard/Dee

A little thing I noticed about Ruby Rhod's name. Okay, on the periodic table of the elements, on period 5, the first element is Rubidium, then exactly halfway down is Rhodium. Take the endings off and you have Ruby Rhod (Well, actually you have Rubi Rhod, but close enough). Submitted By:Richard/Dee

After the dark goo runs down Zorg's head, he tips his head down enough for us to see that it came from OUTSIDE his head -- it had been falling on the clear-plastic thing covering part of his head! It should have come from inside the clear plastic, like the first guy who got Goo'd. The argument against that is: who are we to decide how the evil force that's going to destroy the earth operates? It can Goo people any way it wants. :-) Submitted By:Paul Balyoz

Do you have the answers?? Or at least a creative mind? If so, just send me your thoughts! JasonCarlberg@hotmail.com!!!
