Title of old movie with elemental heroes, live action, color, was on TV in late !
Question: Ten years ago while in Israel I saw a movie on TV involving four people brought together and trained in four elements to battle evil. The only major plot point that I can remember is that the guy training them turns out to have been a bad guy who killed the fifth element (light) and now wants to make amends. Also I remember the training montage was interesting and involved breaking lightbulbs I think? I've always wanted to see that movie again but can't remember the title or any character names. Move was live action, color, and must have been fairly old when I saw it because it was on TV in Israel in (I think) '98 (give or take two years) on one of those English channels with never-heard-of movies.

...this might be slightly off from the year-of-release, which you appear to be referring to, but might you be thinking of the 2001 martial arts actioner, entitled "Invincible"??? This campy little made-for-cable flick was joint-produced by Jet Li AND Mel Gibson (...a most interesting combination)...
I am guessing maybe the Fifth Element with Bruce Willis. That came out in 97 though. So, not sure if that's it.
I really don't think it's the fifth element. The plot doesn't quite fit.
