I grew up with Frank Senger, the fat guy, in Springfield, IL. After high school he said he was moving to New York to become an actor. We all said, "See you in a couple weeks Frank." Then we started seeing him in TV shows and movies. Frank passed away several years ago. The story I heard was he was teaching an acting class when he collapsed from a heart attack. His students all thought he was faking it.

[@OVianense]

Such a masterpiece, like literally, a masterpiece. The scene that literally starts it all. That shows who Leon really is, and how iconic as well as legendary he is. LIke you don't see him, he sees you, and just like Tony said bullets slide off of him. Its a work of art. A film with so much build-up, filled with raw emotions and feelings with a film that is truly memorable, unforgettable, legendary, and filled with emotions that you honestly can't help but feel alongside the characters & the emotional story behind it, especially what happens at the end which just makes this film turn to a sudden turn of just pure sadness especially with the build-up & how emotionally intense it was. A film & song where its just pure black and white, a film & song that has such strong emotions & feelings from/to your heart. Its a film where you just feel pure raw emotion as if you're the character or if you're seeing it first hand in person. A film with such a perfect selection of a cast with such an underrated actor Jean Reno. Like Jean Reno truly nailed the performance like hes so underrated, and it really shows. By far one of the greatest films of all time like all the roles were nailed perfectly. Its just a masterpiece. Not only that but this movie didn't have much of a budget either, and it turned out to be so successful and one of the greatest films of all time, which you can't deny, its something that everyone agrees on, like it or not, it is. Luc Besson the director literally nailed it & also proved how even at the time you didn't need that need such a huge budget to accomplish these things, and what an era it was, and what a big name for European Films if not the greatest European film, in comparison with American films that need such a big budget to accomplish the effects, it really shows the difference between the two as all thats needed is raw emotion. Such a masterpiece, a film like I said filled with such an emotional bond that you honestly can't explain it fully, its something that you honestly have to feel it to experience it. Truly unforgettable, memorable and much more. I honestly wish it got more credit that it was unfortuantely given, it honestly deserved so much credit, especially an award for Jean Leno and his performance. Such a perfect selection, such a perfect story, film, and of course music selection. One of the few films where you experience raw emotion, and feelings. Like even the trailer itself is just amazing. A film that you honestly feel through your heart, its just heartfelt like the emotions of the film just go through your heart and makes you feel it as if you're one of the characters especailly as Leon and Maltithda, and not only that but heartbroken as well, especially at the end of the film where you see a flash of light slowly entering and then fading away knowing that hes passed & finally achieved the peace he wanted, while also having something to loose for, and love with actual roots being placed - a meaning for him which was Maltithda. Like even now, when I watched this movie, I still feel the emotions thats how strong it is, its attached, especially every time when you look back to it and it always hits you over and over again. Like it's just unexplainable, you can try your best to explain it, but its something you just gotta feel for yourself like I said and its so emotionally intense. 5 stars. A film that literally hit me hard so many times in my feelings, and made me realize the true meanings of love & life, purpose. regret, change and gave me a perspective, a will, a reason, change - everything. It literally has so many messages, and feelings, of dreams, hopes, and roots. Like man this film just changes you, pure chills, pure tears, pure emotion, pure sadness and much more as well. So much to say, its honestly endless, with so many emotions & feelings.

If Resident Evil but killing demons in Feudal Japan and Modern France with magical bushido swords and Jean Reno wielding a cool energy whip sounds like your thing, check out Onimusha 3: Demon Siege (for PS2, the PC version isn't as good). Unfortunately he only had time to do the French version's voice lines for his character but couldn't record the English voice lines because of scheduling conflicts, so RE4 Leon's VA voiced him in the English dubbed lines instead. He was working on a lot of stuff around the 2000-2004 mark and the game released in 04.

I love it when he goes and gets those guns, we all know that all the guns in the world won't help him now.

[@Killgore316]

I really like how they portrayed they guys panic. Heavy breathing, paranoia, sweating, and the holding breath the moment he felt the blade on his neck.

[@jacklumbar7061]

I dont know about the guy with the beard but my bowels almost move when Leon slip back into the darkness.

[@carlmanvers5009]

My second favourite Jean Reno film.

He proved no matter how well he might be protected he can still be got. Yeah, I’d say he understands.

[@gregfalco4528]

Mexican cartels do that to well protected people, but they do it with overwhelming numbers. If you have 5 guys protecting you, they send 20. If you have 20 guys protecting you, they send a hundred. CIA and Mossad assassins work the same way. It's never just one badass individual.

[@JP-jm9fy]

@@gregfalco4528 I’m sure not to many cartels have a Leon they send when a somebody gets out of line but then again if a Mexican cartel sends people they aren’t coming to issue a warning to get out of town.

[@Elfo_Scuro]

I like the way how Léon wasnintroduced in the movie, he looks like a mix of Batman and a demon.

[@ViktorKruger99]

but it also shows he is a bit clueless about... everything really, I love the way he watches the girl go away lol

[@3characterhandlerequired]

Directors cut of this is better than what TV usually shows, Leon actually teaches the kid, that is almost completely cut out of TV version.

[@Litzen2k]

Music, so 90's! Goldeneye, Fifth Element-feelings

[@markb5403]

This film got a way more accurate Agent 47 vibe than those two Hitman films. It's obvious playing the older Hitman: 2 Silect Assassin and Hitman: Contracts the developers were big fans of this film.

[@RADIKALDREAD]

I remember seeing this in the cinema as a child. One of the best movies ever made.

It's a french movie, Hollywood has nothing to do with it.

Everything about this movie was brilliant

[@vardellsfolly5200]

People talk about John Wick. How great he is. How impressive the films are. And i smile, knowing that Leon: the professional was, and still is, far superior as both a movie and everything in it.

The best of all Luc Besson's works

[@jeffreytaylor4464]

I played D&D in High school, Leon is the literal definition of a Rogue/Assassin- Shadow Dancer. Certainly one of the scariest cross classes in the entire game lore.

[@carlosr1344]

Yo that was the coolest sht I've ever seen in a movie.

Badass when you leave your mark holding his Uzi.

[@xxadwrxx]

Seems to be a MAC-10, and you can hear that hes empty, what can he do, throw it at him? ;P

[@nihonbunka]

@@xxadwrxx Badass, for a you tube commenter at least, when you know the difference between a MAC-10 (?) and an Uzi, and what it sounds like when empty.

[@tacticalwannabe6450]

@@xxadwrxx Its not a MAC-10, The first gun he unloads is a Micro Uzi. The trigger guard and length give it away. The second gun is a Mini Uzi. The sound when emptied would be the same for both the MAC-10 and the Uzi because they are both open bolt sub-machine guns.

“I need help..somebody’s trying to kill me!” “Well that sounds like a you problem sir.”

[@hautakleightontam771]

If you've watched this film already, this scene is a brilliant parallel/foreshadow of the ending. The mobster's girlfriend runs, but Mathilda begs to stay.

[@GordiansKnotHere]

2:06 Diva Plavalaguna could've put her beautiful voice to work to calm everyone here... Missed opportunity.

[@gregfalco4528]

This movie is better than the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy, and on 1/10th the budget.

Just simply one of the best movies ever made, Leon is a true classic.

[@Uridien]

Leon: Do you understand? Him: Yes. Leon: So say it. Him: I understand. Leon: Good. :: Begins to leave:: Him: It's just that my Grandmother lives here in town, ya know? Christmas is at her place this year, the whole family is coming. And the wife and I were planning to enroll the kids in school here for the fall semester. There's a lot of moving parts. Leon: 😒🤭🗡️

[@nowomennokids6734]

I'm not saying this cuz I'm biased or anything, but even if this wasn't my all time favorite movie, I'd still put that scene down as one of the greatest opening action scenes in a movie ever!!! Side note: it's unfortunate this upload was plagued with subtitles and censoring but I forgive you...

[@shuckLedurkins]

Its only good the first viewing, after you find out more and watch the movie again the scene is lame

The way Leon takes over the phone is the correct way to assert dominance... 😄

[@ozonespec]

One of the most underrated movies.

[@wendahu5943]

Somehow I think Leon might be waiting for him to pick up the phone, saving some time😂

[@Durwood71]

That guy did an amazing job acting terrified. I wonder, did Jean Reno threaten to actually kill him before the cameras rolled? Because that was an incredibly convincing performance.

[@j8577798yt]

What a scene !!! Soooo good !!
