I know what Kwisatz Haderach means for it's shortening of the way and powerful being. Afterall Leeloo was also genetically engineered to become powerful.

Thanks for proving my point so willingly.

Yeah yeah yeah, "shortening of the way", that's what the words mean. But "powerful being"?

LOL. Go read the books again.

(And it's painfully obvious as soon as you see her that whatever genetic engineering Leeloo has undergone has NOT made her a Kwisatz Haderach. wink.gif )

How 5th Element is similar to Dune is that both have a supreme being made every century, Leeloo is a female Kwistaz Haderach is her mission to save the galaxy, the stones are very much like the spice, the Mandochewans are like the Spacing Guild, both have desert mythology with aliens, and even Zorg is similar to the Baron.

Even the IMDB recommendations put on the 2 Dune movies on their suggestions Fifth Element.

How are the Mondoshawans like the Guild? Who is the singer Diva Plavalaguna similar to in Dune? I'll skip a question involving Ruby (Chris Rock's character).

The Modoshawans are similar to the spacing guild since they are wise and unique beings that know the keys of the universe, the Diva is like no one in Dune.

But who thinks Jim Henson's Dark Crystal is also influenced by Dune besides Tolkein and Grimm's Brothers? you find similarities in it since Jim is a fan of Dune books.

Just because Henson was a fan of Dune, doesn't necessarily mean there has to be a correlation.
