[@2spoons]

Still on of the most gripping cinema scenes ever........ love the fading in and out of Léon 'do you understand' ! ! ! !

[@paristo]

Yeah. That cinematic take when he comes from the shadows, and vanish in the shadows made the movie industry for 20 years to try replicate that cool factor. Seeing it again after so many years, I never noticed how Leon corrects his grip of the knife at one point, and then how he looks at the phone after the call. It is partially comical that both stare the hooker when She goes by... You can forget that part easily.

[@echthroi9]

He never even makes the guy drop his gun. Just methodically shrinks then controls his world.

You actually feel every bit of the guys anxiety. The panic running around and doing everything on impulse. Even when he grabs the phone he wasn’t actually looking for the phone. He just saw it while running chaotically. Guy killed it with the little screen time he had.

[@SalmonJonesTheMagnificent]

For as silly as this movie can be, some of the acting is genuinely amazing. Seriously, the guy that plays Fatman does such a fantastic job with portraying "panicked to the point of almost but not quite being unable to think straight". The way he clearly tries to get the conversation and confrontation over with as fast as he can at the end, how he goes to being super meek when Leon reveals himself, all really good acting, especially for a tiny bit comedic part.

Of a certain age, you will understand how great a film this is. It derives from La Femme Nakita, but never knowingly. I remember seeing this at the cinema originally. Unbelievable. Gary Oldman was almost other-worldly. Reno....it goes without saying. Coolest cat out there. Danny Aiello. Nuff said. Genius film and viewpoint never improved.... even by Besson himself who has tried several times. Top Ten Films of any good taste and film knowledge as far as I am concerned.

It was freaken bad ass how Leon said, "Say you understand" just before slowly disappearing into the blackness. That's real professionalism. I wished that John Wick would show some real boggie man shit. He (Jwick) should just be able to disappear, or no one should be able to see him coming.

[@dukevega1972]

So many cool parts in this sequence, but what always stuck with me was at the end when Leon's boss tells him to make the fat guy understands and he simply asks him if he understands.
