Léon: The Professional

This movie was on TV last night, and I really like this movie. It is awesome if you havent seen it! I was just wondering if anyone knows what kind of drug that Gary Oldman was supposely taking in the movie. They were green and yellow capsules. He would put them in his mouth but he didnt swallow them , he would crush them with his teeth. Then he would act like he was getting instant "rush" off it??

WHo else here loves this movie??

OMG, I love this movie! I've watched it more times than I care to admit, but I don't know much about drugs, at least of the illegal variety, and I can't help you on your query. I just wanted to pipe up and say how much I liked the movie.

Well thanks for trying ! Glad to know someone else loved this movie like I do! Great flick huh!

How wouldnt this make a great sequel. Little Nat all grown up and now she is "The Professional" and takes out the bad guys!

That would be sooo cool, but highly doubtful.

i don't know if you already knew this or not but there is bonus material of the professional on the version entitled "Leon" which contains another 24 minutes of footage. i thought it was a good movie and even paid the extra money to buy "Leon" on dvd.

really? Thats cool. What kind of footage is it?

A sequel sounds fun at first. But without Leon the movie has lost half of its magic.

Man, Natalie Portman really was one of the best child actors around.

she was indeed, she did a good job in Beautiful girls too

THe extra footage has alot of the relationship between leon and matilda in it. I also heard that it shows some more violence!

Yeah she was a better actor in "The Professional" than she was in the 2 star wars movies!!

This was an great movie, it was called Leon over here though not the professional.

yup, Leon

The actually name is LEON: The Professional.

Actually the name here is just LEON.

Well, the oversees version(on the dvd box) that I saw it had Leon: The Professional!!

This is a copy of the DVD sleeve here, no mention of the professional

well the one I might buy off ebay looked different. Im sure it was done to tie into the american mkting of "The Professiona" which I might add is a much better name for the movie! Leon sounds like some mushy story about some little boy?

I saw this movie for the first time last year after some urging by my friend overthe internet.

It was freakin' awesome.

I loved it the entire way through, except the part where Leon dies.

yeah it makes you think he is getting out alive, then BAM! But at least the bad guy(Oldman) gets it too!

Yeah that was sweet.

For an encore, mad ol' Gary went on to play almost exactly the same guy in The Fifth Element. Died in very similar circumstances, too...

the extra footage of Leon: The Professional also has some scenes of Leon teaching Mathilda how to clean using a paintball gun/pistol s not the same paintball gun/sniper rifle that she uses to shoot that guy in the park. also, alpha the movie has a couple of titles and the title "The Professional" is not necessarily the right one, it is also called "The Cleaner" "Leon" "Leon: The Professional" and "The Professional". Like other movies its name changed when being released overseas.
