I've started work on The Fifth Element
The rta "community" (which is really just one person) keeps track of the PS1 and PC versions separately. Because of this, the official record for this is 2:02:17, however the PC version is faster and from what I can tell, the tricks used in it are possible on PS1 (though I don't guarantee that).

I've managed to implement the Leeloo mission 5 oob successfully, however I'm stuck on the Korben one. I can get the clip and some navigation correctly: if you notice there are certain sound cues one can use, i.e. a factory hum shortly after clipping and then loud machinery telling you to start turning left. However, I don't know how far to turn left, and the rta clip has flashing lights appearing at the bottom shortly after which I can never get to appear.
I was told to start looking at memory to see if I can get the coordinates. I was possibly able to get the player Z-position at the 2-byte address 1F2FB8, but I'm starting to doubt this as it's not changing in other levels. It's possible the game uses this address for Z-position just for this level, though.
X and Y are trickier though as the search doesn't seem to yield anything concrete. Now, I know I'm usually bad at finding addresses, so I would like to see if more tech savvy people can look into this and try to find them.

As Feos said in Discord, it would be a shame not to implement this known clip and have the run in a weird grey area of TAS not able to compete with human capabilities.
