Storyline/Action/Comedy/Art/Characters [Character developments]/Performances: all these combined in one way or another at some point; the storyline is something safe and reliable but good; the pacing is likewise something safe and reliable it give this project a fundamentally sound basis to work from; as in it gives the other components time to combined or depending where you are in the project space to move and time to breathe even if it is just a moment to brave.

To begin with this; we have Dallas/Willis being mugged or attempting to be mugged outside his living quarters by this mugger just before Dallas/Willis is off to work; this mugger has clearly has been on drugs for many years by his body language, mannerisms and general language skills, but Dallas/Willis being the individual he is and him being an Ex-Special Forces Major, but now taxi driver; he calmly and collectively starts talking about this new gun which he happens to point out it isn't loaded which this mugger is a little bit twitchy, so he follows Dallas's instructions Dallas even offers to assist him, but by his mannerisms and action he declines. So when this mugger is ready he says "Give me the cash." But with this gun giving off a sound effect it quickly comes apparent Dallas/Willis has just told this mugger how to disable this gun. Which instantaneously Dallas/Willis draws this gun which is so much more less complicated [with this mugger holding up his hands but still holding this gun."] Dallas/Willis says [whilst this holding unit of confiscated guns comes down] "That's a very dangerous gun. Maybe you better let me hold on to that one for you. [With Dallas taking this gun off this mugger and putting it in this holding unit] Dallas continues; "You don't mind do you?" Mugger: "No" Dallas/Willis: "You sure?" Mugger:" No. Take it. I don't need it." [He says "I don't need it" in an angry frustrated cry. With his body language and mannerisms match] [Dallas/Willis trying not to crack a smile and laugh at this mugger's hat] "That is a very nice hat" Muggler: "You like it?" [Stamping his foot] "God." [doing a little dance and then this confiscated guns unit goes back up into the ceiling.]

The next example of the action and comedy but this time including art; is where we have simultaneous things happening at the same time. From a broad perspective Dallas/Willis and Rhod/Tucker amongst others are watching this operatic performance from Diva Plavalaguna/Maïwenn this number is named "The Diva Dance" this is a powerful performance to match her blue peaceful yet strong blue presence on screen [and on a quick side note if you're wondering how species; on a little bit of research it is unknown.] Whilst this is happening Leeloo/Jovovich is battling Mangalores [this operatic music number and performance complements this action sequence as we go back and forth with the singing and music over the top of this action sequence,] Leeloo/Jovovich has educated herself to fight as the best martial artist in the world [Bruce Lee] including little bits of comedy such as when she is setting up to punch this Mangalore in front of her [ this Mangalore seems to have taken a pounding] she is focused on him and this other Mangalore/I am pretty sure this is the leader of Mangalores Aknot/Lloyd Bryan stands behind to potentially attack her, but she was very much aware of him being there as without breaking focus on attacking the one in front she does delivers a fist in his face and in the same move punch is the one in the face in front and later on she gives him a hand gesture to waive him on [just to say bring it] which he obliges her by running towards her.

Characters [Character developments] and Performances; this is all excellent; this cast all have excellent chemistry from Masterson/Perry to President Lindberg/Lister Jr. Zorg/Oldman to Cornelius/Holm and everyone else involved.
