Very few movies sum up the late '90s better than The 5th Element. It has Bruce Willis kicking ass in his prime, Chris Tucker in drag, Milla Jovovich before she was a badass mutant fighter, and Gary Oldman chewing the scenery with one of the worst haircuts of all time. It was only right that Cuyler Smith create a set of prints for his "Cut Short" series that do the movie justice.

Smith's portrait series includes original paintings and prints of three of the important characters: Leelo, Korben, and Zorg, but fans of his work also have the opportunity to purchase the full set and receive a free print of "The Diva." There are only 20 of each print available, so if you want to get your hands on them you will need to act fast.
