Léon: The Professional: Open the door (HD CLIP)

[@jamesalvarado3961]

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.

[@saturncrush]

I always felt that this was based on Golgo 13.

[@wackyroo]

I would love to see that interview if this isn't another one of those internet "facts"

[@fairiejuana]

I'm assuming he was caught? Not all hitman are the same. I've watche cases dealing with mafia hitman and then something on TV where a guy from the hood in a gang took out multiple people and only finally got caught for one.

[@johnbull1568]

A lot of the mythology is probably based around The Day of the Jackal, where the sophisticated assassin is paid a huge amount of money because of the high profile of the target and the fact he can never work again. There probably are a few guys like that around, but yeah, your typical hitman is probably a very unsophisticated type living from job to job.

Actually she had nothing to do with his death. Even by going to the police it wasn't Matilda. It was the job Leon did on the gang where the police guys were doing business and were also killed. That is when the lead police officer heard that someone saw an italian guy committing it. That is when the police leader visited Leon's boss who then gave him out to them.

[@humorpalanta]

@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.

[@jmc6687]

In total despair she rings on the door, the pause, the fear grows. then the door opens and the light shines on her. At that moment Leon saved her in every possible way. The tension and emotion in that one scene was worthy of an oscar. I just wish the film had a different ending, it is so sad they way he had to go after fighting so hard to save her.

[@raksh9]

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.

One of the best scenes ever. Love this movie

[@TheDrive830]

Great move. I expected a father daughter like relationship between Matilda and Leon but Mathilda was in love with him. That kinda added a different dynamic to the movie.

[@ChoClateMilk2]

quite possibly my favorite movie of all time.. watched this movie so many times when i was a kid

[@howardlloyd5335]

'Benny' in this scene was played by Keith A Glascoe, who was also a New York City fireman as well as an actor. He was tragically killed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Amazing film.

That's honestly mind blowing I wish peace upon his soul as a fire fighter I'm sure he helped others to the very end special guy and a special film all the little things make such a difference what a crazy world we live in. Love to everyone of every race religion and creed I hope everyone has a wonderful day ❤

Natalie Portman is outstanding in this movie. So young and talented. She's was born a natural actress.

Jean Reno was Johnny Hallydays best mate for many years until. Johnny's passing and he still remains faithful to Johnny Hallydays memory. Jean Reno Top Man... Superb actor in The French Cinema....!!!!!!!

[@petersilie304]

Starting to watch this movie I expected to see Léon committing a murder before finding a way to end this part of his life. I never thought the complete film would happen only in this house. At the end I realized having watched one of the best movies ever. :)

Is it me or is the 90s appeared to be peak cinema, just so many classic and original works?

[@DukesVerrill]

Yep. I find pleasure in going back and watching classics from 80s and 90s.. Mostly, action based movies like this one. The movies coming out today are basically bad copy cats and some are just forced (humor wise, politics, bad cgi, etc).

[@mrgrumpy2]

Her acting is AMAZING!

[@soulassassin0g]

This movie has been heavily underrated for years and I'm glad now that it's getting the recognition ot deserves as a cult classic.

[@bengosselin8005]

I've always loved this movie and thought it was extremely underrated.

Best scene and key scene of the whole movie. Everything revolves around this.

Can we just agree that Gary Oldman is the best actor that ever lived

[@LoneLee2022]

He's incredible!

[@ΨΣχ_1988Ω]

Leon stood at the door, thinking not that he didn't want to show up in front of the cops, but that after that he would have to kill them all and get into trouble.

[@hansostlund4626]

mr Gary Oldman, who could replace him in this movie… an absolut masterpiece of acting, theres no doubts here

One of the best scenes in cinema history.

remember seeing this at time, in the cinema room. That moment when door open. In theatre, music is so much strong and vibrant at this exact moment. Make me cry instantly. can hear a pin drop the all room.
