While the skimpy costume worn by Milla Jovovich’s flame-haired character, Leeloo, in The Fifth Element is easily the film’s most enduring image—followed closely by the flashy stylings of Chris Tucker’s talk-show host Ruby Rhod—the Multi Pass Leeloo totes around is also a key part of the story. How else could Leeloo and Bruce Willis’ Korben Dallas have crash-banged across space, somehow and maybe accidentally saving the Earth from its destined clash with evil invaders?
This key piece of ID brandished by Leeloo, who turns out to be the flesh-and-blood embodiment of the film’s title, is going up for sale in a Propstore auction featuring several other items from Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element, though none of the others are so meme-worthy.
MULTI PASS!
According to a Propstore press release, the catchphrase-sparking piece of galactic swag is expected to fetch between $59,400 and $118,800 at its upcoming Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Auction, which runs December 5-7 (full catalogue and how to bid here).
The auction site notes that this piece, which has been screen-matched, “is made of machined brass plate inset with an activation button and a custom-made ID card featuring printed images of a smiling Leeloo. Biometric information runs along the right side, with credit card and communications logos present at the bottom. The printed sections of the card are affixed to a styrene plate and fixed in place with adhesive. When depressed, the button activates a red LED situated on the frame.”
That’s right: it lights up, which is badass and just may be enough to let you sneak aboard the Fhloston Paradise.
