**Best moments from _The Fifth Element_** 1. The concert/fight scene 2. “Leeloo! Multipass!” It became a meme among TFE nerds, as a symbolic attempt to bypass long lines and other unpleasant situations. In addition, it became a term in City of Heroes. A daily event is the Hamidon raid. It requires at least 35 level 50+ players, and on occasions where attendance isn’t ideal, the raid leader will call “Multipass,” meaning the players will have to go two rounds of killing mitos instead of one. When this happens, players will call out “Leeloo” in chat.
