In an interview with Screen Rant , Besson disclose that the VFX people from Weta Digital added seven easter eggs fromThe Fifth ElementinValerian , including a few character reference who pop up in the full-grown market scene :
SR : The big market scene in Valerian is one of my preferent conniption ’s in the moving picture . It ’s just amazing to look at . How many different aliens and brute did you have in that sequence and did you sneak any conversant type that know one caught ?
Luc Besson : Oh yeah . There ’s a few . There ’s even characters from the fifth Element .
SR : I assuming I can pause that blu - ray and I ’d be able-bodied to find them ?
Luc Besson : Yeah . In fact , the citizenry from the exceptional effects , from Weta , they secernate me that they put seven easter eggs , but I found 5 , and there is 2 that I still do n’t know where they put it .
SR : You ca n’t even find them .
Luc Besson : [ Laughing ] No . No . Because I ’ll waitress for the DVD . I do n’t have the DVD .
SR : Which ones were you able to catch ?
Luc Besson : I ’m not telling you .
If Besson himself has n’t found all the easter eggs yet , it ’s clear that some of these are going to be twinkle - and - you’ll - miss - it cameo , but those are all the more merriment to observe ! Fans of both series are sure to enjoy trying to cut through down all seven , although there are a lot of ground characters in both motion picture to try and compare . Valerian ’s poster itself has already given one away ; a sign for a post called Korbens , but there are still more to be found . A couplet of eagle - eyed redditors managed to notice a duo of other nod , including a compliment of someone ’s " nice lid " and a search for parasites before a ship takes off , but these are insidious nod , rather than full fictitious character cameo .
While the playfulness of searching for these cameo wo n’t be enough to allure some into buy the moving-picture show on videodisk , finding them will decidedly be a outstanding reason for fans to giveValeriana re - watch .
