Continuing the ‘air taxi’ theme, here’s MajorGrin with a fun comparison between these two cult movies, both of which had Euro roots in one way or another. For example, Heavy Metal magazine was the American counterpart to Métal hurlant, and ‘5th’ was an English-language French film by Luc Besson, with art design by Moebius & Mézières.

I usually find these ‘side-by-sides’ not too terribly interesting, but in this case the number of parallels really does stretch on(!) See what you think:

Btw, I don’t know what’s going on with the post thumbnails on this instance. It seems that all images work fine as thumbnails except for Imgur stuff, which is rather unfortunate since that’s mainly how I’ve been uploading the sublemmy’s imagery from the beginning. You can see this for yourself if you click on the root level of this community.

    It makes a lot of sense, seeing as how Luc Besson probably grew up on that french aesthetic and those visual themes etc.
