Description
An element of farce comes to town, in this adaptation of the lavish '90s sci-fi blockbuster that asks, who's got the stones to save the world?When all life in the universe is threatened by an ancient evil, the perfect being engineered to stop it drops into the taxi flown by Korben Dallas, who just happens to be a former special forces Major down on his luck, and who is instantly smitten by his beautiful fare. That sets off the series of chases and gunfights that will bring him face to face with the blue Diva Plavalaguna, a spot on the super-green Ruby Rhod radio spectacular and an explosive all-expenses-paid vacation package.
Meanwhile, Father Vito Cornelius is the keeper of secret knowledge about four sacred stones needed to stop the evil, but they don't stay secret for long. The President sends in a government operation, and the fearsome Mangalore warriors launch an attack to get revenge on the ruthless weapons designer Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg, who wants the stones for his own mysterious reasons.
Soon, there's officers in the fridge, a girl in the autowash shower and half the galaxy claiming to have the multi-pass that will get them two tickets to Fhloston Paradise, sponsored by Gemini Croquettes. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad universe.
