This Milla Jovovich (1975-) page was requested by SteveLensman. Steve has read and commented on every movie page we have ever written. Have to admit that I was rooting for one particular Milla movie to be in the Top Spot in our rankings. Happy to report that The Fifth Element (1997) was easily the highest rated movie according to our rating equation. No matter how many Resident Evil movies she makes, Milla Jovovich, will always be Leeloo Minai Lekarariba-Laminai-Tchai Ekbat De Sebat or as Bruce Willis calls her in The Fifth Element…..Leeloo to me.

For comments….all you need is a name and a comment….please ignore the rest.
Thanks for the feedback, additional information and quotes. Your pictorials and my further general reading [which your video encouraged] about Milla suggests to me that she has found her niche among the screen action heroines of the present era [a latter day Sigourney Weaver?]. We will have to see if we can arrange to have Milla and Jason team up as I’m sure that it would please audiences of the two genders if they were both to take off their shirts of at the same time!
Indeed she is also a musician and has done modelling work so that (1) the VHI music channel dubbed her “the reigning queen of kick-butt” in 2016, a crown that even The Thin Woman never possessed! (2) in 2004 the prestigious Forbes Rich List classified her as the highest paid model in the world.
Against an overall production budget of around $345 million in 2019 money the 6 Resident Evil films in which she appeared have collectively grossed worldwide in cinemas almost 1.5 billion in today’s dollars, an excellent average of around $240 million per movie.
By the way, whilst at 43 Milla could fall prey to the Curse of 39 any day now, I wouldn’t worry about her having to play superheros’ mothers. Remember the megastar who upset The Master by making a fortune playing Superman’s father way back in 1978 for just 15 minutes on the
screen.
FROM STEVE Hi Bob, thanks for the review, generous rating (ooh), info and trivia, much appreciated. Glad you liked the posters, stills and lobby cards.
Regarding Zoolander, I’m surprised they were still producing those kind of lobby cards in 2001, the type with some poster art on the side and a photo at the top. I don’t see that anymore, maybe a glossy photo with the title of the film at the bottom, and even that is rare.
The Resident Evil saga went on too long and started to repeat itself, three movies would have been enough. But I shouldn’t complain I like seeing Milla in action. If only they’d put her in a big important movie occasionally, before she gets too old and ends up playing the hero’s mother, or grandmother!
I remember in an interview she said that her mother was always moaning that she never gets to wear any proper clothes in her films, or even normal clothes! She was nicely dressed in The Three Musketeers as Milady de Winter, though they didn’t dare kill her off in that version, might upset her fans.
No 10 or 9 scorers in Milla’s filmography, 4 films scored 8 out of 10 – Chaplin, He Got Game, Dazed and Confused and The Fifth Element.
Milla on The Fifth Element – “I worked like hell. No band practice, no clubs, no pot, nothing.”
Milla on Resident Evil – “We’ve got really infantile mentalities on this movie. We’re like: “It’s gross – cool! It’s disgusting – print it!”. You have to think like a fifteen-year-old. Wet dress. Zombies. Guns. Cool!”
I know of Milla through only my awareness of the existence of the Resident Evil franchise and watching her as Joan of Arc. However the Resident Evil movies are not my cup of tea so I’ve never watched them and the only movie among the many that Milla has made that I’ve ever seen her in is The Messenger/Joan of Arc, which I enjoyed
She is reputed to have a net worth of $40 million and IMDB credits her with 3 acting awards and 19 nominations. One of the nominations was for an action heroine performance that would make Jason Statham jealous and covetous: a 1998 MTV + TV Award for a sequence in Bruce Willis’ 1997 The 5th Element which the presenters entitled “Fight between Milla Jovovich and Aliens”!
Another nomination that she got for The 5th Element was from the Online Film & TV Association for “Best Sci-fi/Fantasy/Horror Actress” so I can see how she would appeal to YOU! However you are not alone because she is at present on 3 IMDB user lists of current Top 37 “favourite” and “hottest” actresses – in positions 1st. 21st and 22d
Best POSTERS in Milla’s video 1/two for Ultraviolet 2/1st one for No Good Deed 3/Dirty Girl 4/You Stupid Man 5/foreign language one for Faces in the Crowd 6/1st one for Survivor 7/Hellboy 8/Racy one for .45 9/two for The Messenger 10/Zoolander 11/2nd one for 5th Element.
Fine STILL are 1/Ultraviolent 2/Hellboy 3/Kuffs 4/3 Musketeers 5/as Joan 6/Perfect Getaway 7/what I take as a lobby card for Zoolander 8/He got Game 9/two for the 5th Element.
Plus the entire glut of poster and stills for the Resident Evil franchise. They were all so good – and sexy for the most part! – that it would have been difficult tom make all that much distinction among them.
In a way my general unfamiliarity with Milla’s career made me more curious that is even usually the case about one of your videos and I found it both enjoyable and educational and rated it 99%.
Hi Bob, nice work moving these comments to Bruce’s Milla page. Cheers!
Here’s your reward – Bruce and Milla –

Steve’s new Mila video is now on this page….his second Mila video. Our thoughts shared on his video channel.
Video on one of your favorites. Hoping The 5th Element is number one. Seen almost all of these movies. Wow…you have one more movie than my page….that does not happen too often. I have seen 21 of the 30 movies listed here. Favorites would include #1 The Fifth Element….love her in that movie. #3 Chaplin…solid movie. #5 Zoolander…the first one is very funny and a few of the Resident Evil movies…but those movies blend in my memory. I want to see Hell Boy….but it was in and out of theaters so fast I was unable to get there in time. Voted up and shared. I will not be able to share your Wednesday and Friday video until next week….going on vacation in 5 hours and 48 minutes.
Aloha Bruce, your favorite Milla movie is at no.1, but is it no.1 on your UMR critics chart? tsk tsk. 🙂 Your 21 seen beats my tally of 16, Flora has seen 2. Thanks again for the vote, share and comment, it is appreciated. Enjoy your 4th of July holidays, see you next week!
love 5th element. love your comment on worldwide box office. Mila ww box office 2.6 bil, d box office .8 bil. what a discrepancy. it reminds me of Bruce Willis’s billion dollar wwbo movie Armageddon (adj dom bo 0.4 bil). most of his movies got much more box office world wide ( total 15.7 bil) than domestic (6.5 bil). love our Bruce. thanks UMR. happy birthday and special thanks to WoC.
Hey bob cox….glad you were able to compare Mila’s domestic versus international totals…..the Resident Evil movies really show that….as they barely register in the USA….and explode in the worldwide markets…..which is why they keep getting made.
I agree Bruce was big overseas too…..as Bruce approaches his 5th decade of being a star….I will admit his star has faded…..but it was a fun ride. Thanks for the WoC birthday wishes.
