Trivia: As Korben and Leeloo approach an intersection in his cab the camera whips forward to reveal to the audience that six police cars are waiting for him ahead. In the far background, behind the police cars, is a chase between a police car and a long black car complete with muzzle flashes to represent gun fire between the two cars. Ever an eye for detail, Luc Besson noticed the embellishment the first time the visual effects shot was reviewed, thought that it was funny and it remains in the final film. (more)

Goofs: Revealing mistakes: Towards the end of the scene set in the ancient Egypt, when the wall in the pyramid closes and crushes the Alien's hand (holding the key), the wall waves and is obviously not made of stone. (more)
