Isn't he the same dude that's in 5th element? He's crazy in that movie too. ------------------ SBrooks | |||

One of Natalie's greatest performances. Even as a child she was a incredible actress. IMO she is still perhaps the most talented actress ever. Still as a child, she was great in Beautiful Girls as well. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Definitely one of my favorite movies. Fun fact, in case you didn't know: The movie Colombiana, starring Zoe Saldana, was originally written as a sequel to The Professional with a grown-up Mathilda as an assassin, before being changed to the movie it is now.

Gary Oldman is great actor. I can't recall ever seeing a performance of his that I didn't like. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." Sherlock Holmes | |||

She was great. It's a shame she has become a nut case with her politics. It's kids like you, who make this bus late. | |||

I'm also a fan of Leon and think it's still Nat's best role to date. I prefer the Director's Cut since it's even more f---ed up than the American theatrical cut. (I did also like Nat in Beautiful Girls.) Thankfully Colombiana ended up not being a Leon sequel since that movie blew chunks. Sadly, the real sequel will probably never take place since Luc Besson had a falling out with Gaumont Studios who holds the rights to the Leon and Mathilda characters from The Professional. | |||

100% agree. He's one of my favorites. Large or small role, he's always spot on. | |||

You know who should see this movie?  "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

Oldman was a tad over the top. A well balanced breakfast being necessary to the start of a healthy day, the right of the people to keep and eat food shall not be infringed. | |||

He’s the most thug in True Romance. Book of Eli wasn’t bad either. He can play a fat Winston Churchill or the most thug you have ever seen. His True Romance is a personal fav though. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

One of my favorite movies... the scene when the swatt team knocks in the door and then rushes in the room and 'Leon's' arm comes down and pushes the door closed is classic. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

I think that was the point of the character. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." Sherlock Holmes | |||

I still haven't seen that version. It's on my list, though. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." Sherlock Holmes | |||

There's a scene where Natalie threatens to kill herself via Russian Roulette. Natalie goes on a few more training missions (in case you wondered why she didn't train very much in the theatrical cut). Natalie celebrates her first mission completion by getting drunk. There's a scene where she propositions Jean Reno for sex (showing how really emotionally vulnerable and disturbed that character is). And, there's a short scene where some kids try to bully her so she pays them off and sends them away. | |||

On the cut that I have on DVD, Matilda goes on a hit with Leon. There are a few more scenes I can't remember right now. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. | |||
