IIRC he was a talk show host, and I’ve always thought he was so flamboyant as a parody of how talk show hosts prioritize the show rather than the talk.
I think he is a brilliantly designed parody character, but some people have taken him too seriously.
He was actually just supposed to be Prince doing his thing, but after he refused Chris Tucker dialled it up to eleven. Which was exactly the right call.
The props used - some are from Leon (the professional). The police riot gear etc.
The director came up with the idea when he was 16. But he had to wait for technology to get better before he could attempt to make the movie.
The most amazing thing is that the antagonist and protagonist not only never meet each other in this movie, they are not even aware of each other’s existence. Can you name another movie where this is true?
Concerning fact 3) They do have a connection, Zorg fires Corben at the beginning of the movie, but they never become aware of the fact. Corben is a nobody to Zorg and Zorg just a company to Corben.

So many fun facts about this movie.

Correct.
But they don’t meet. And they are not aware of each other at all. Unless you count “one of a million taxi drivers”
