Not All the Plans Made the Cut
In a world where vehicles fly and brave taxi driveÂrs are everyday heÂroes, there’s no limit to what could happen. The creative team of The Fifth Element came up with tons of ideas for creatures in the film. But not all of them made it to the final version. For example, the special effects boss Dudman created a roster of characters.
This included odd, long-noseÂd alien trash workers. According to a movie dialogue line, they were on a strike. These odd characters were carefully built and deÂsigned, then cut from the final film just before they were set to appear in the spaceÂport scenes.
