I was school and once I said, "Could you please explain me this?"
She answered, "No. We don't say explain me in English. The right way would be explain this to me."
And as I was watching the movie, Casper Van Dien's character makes the same mistake I did... Any opinions? The screenwriter mustn't be very good.

People who funded it were foreign. All the money went on the actors, very little planning in pre-production for the sets or script.
I think its weird he didn't improvise... at least a little. Maybe he knew it was awful and just didn't give a *beep* so he gave the bare minimum.
I can't imagine how anyone would script out this nonsense. It's as if they had a basic story (dracula on a space ship in the year 3000) and just told the actors to go do stuffs. I can't see how they would have expected anything but garbage, so they accomplished what they set out to do. :)

I liked Tiny in 5th Element, but this guy is so right. :P
There are some rather funny scenes in this, here's a few I've noted:
37:00 - coolio goes vamp (nsfw)
41:45 - coolio dancin about
52:50 - in one ear & blah blah blah blah
1:11:15 - mina
1:19:50 - mine arm!
Maybe we could put together a list of all the goodness.
If we're still around a thousand years from now, I sincerely hope people are more intelligent and don't still smoke cigarettes/other or talk like 15 year old gangstas. ;)

HAHA, you know what, I never noticed that but its true. Plus, he IS the sex symbol/love interest at the end of the movie... The chemistry between him and Eleniak looks DOA.
As for the "funny scenes"
"My Arm" was definately funny. But what about the extreme close up of those contact lenses when Coolio first gets turned into a vampire? It looks like SOMEONE went on a shopping spree at the mall Lens Crafters!

Check out the screenwriters' filmographies. The director/screenwriter hasn't done very much that could be called "good" and this is the other screenwriter's first ever writing credit. Any guesses what he did before that would prepare him for writing a Hollywood movie? Anyone? Sound. Seems like that would be all it would take, huh?
(And yes, it took two people to come up with that dialogue.)
