Fun fact, they interviewed a real hitman once and asked what's the most accurate depiction of a hitman in a movie. He said, Leon in the professional. Movies always show these fancy well dressed hitmen in suits driving exotic supercars. Most of the time it's just a regular guy living alone barely making ends meet.

@@fairiejuana yah, in the hood, theres no money to investigate multiple murders, so typically they only get charged with one, but get the life sentence...the news states it everytime, for the past 50 years in LA.... Now, people in the mafia, have money, so the cops investigate, because of the amounts of money involved, people are in the hood, because they are poor, this means, the cops, will find a guy in a gang, and charge him with one murder, and his lawyer is so low, that the cops can use one charge to put him away for life, ok?... Sigh, so, people in the mafia, have professional lawyers, k... This means these lawyers, can get charges dropped easily, this means the cops must investigate incredibly thoroughly to prosecute... Some piece of shit from the hood kills some one, its open and shut case and life sentence, whether you killed 1 or 10... Cops dont have time or money to waste on hood gangs...simple math and simple as asking a cop. Just ask why anyone in the hood is shot and given life sentence, because there is no.money. Hood people never see millions of dollars, if they ever do, the mafia is there to take it, if not them, the cops, Every piece of money printed since 1995, has a chip in it for tracking, anyone in the hood dumb enough to walk around with money, is tracked by the cops, sigh poor people are so dumb, so if a some hood rat goes from house to house, and is picking up money, then the cops can see that and track him... Just people in the hood, never shut up long enough to learn about the real world, so they end up being victims of not educating themselves, could you imagine if people in hood had even knew one small thing about how the government keeps them all monitored and in the hood like livestock. They let you guys kill each other...they let that guy in a gang In the hood kill, because it's easier to get rid of them.like that...

@TheShqipe98 Dude. You should watch the movie again. Leon died because of the raid he did on the chinese gang. There were the drug dealer cops at that time and they also died. That is when the cop gets angry. Because his men died. When Matilda tried to attack him he actually told her he didn't give a shit as he has many enemies. But the hit that Leon did on the chinese and the drug dealing cops made him angry and as someone heard or saw an italian guy he immediately went to Leon's boss. He enters when the boss' daughter has his birthday. They beat him up off screen and he gives out Leon and his adress. Then they start the invasion.

Which is good considering the competition. If you're curious movies like A Brighter Summer Day, Shoplifters, Memories of Murder, Ran (1985), "A Time to Live, A Time to Die", "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring", and "Age Of Shadows" all raised the bar for me.

@raksh93 жыл бұрын
I sometimes wonder how they could have given this a happier ending. Leon has done a lot of bad things, but his code of 'no women, no children' and almost monastic lifestyle makes him a more likeable character. Most movies like this sacrifice the hero/antihero unless they are the redeemable rogue type. Jason Statham's movies are examples of where the violent protagonist lives. But had Leon lived, what would they have done? Would he take on the role of guardian and father figure? I feel that his naivete about life outside of killing would have made this problematic. But admittedly he would have been a better father than Matilda's. I still wonder.

The handgun the Professional is carrying is a customized long slide Radom pistol with a compensator . Made in Poland , super accurate and a very reliable 9mm . There are versions which are selective fire / full auto with 25 round magazines , suppressors and shoulder stocks . Have a nice day .
