LEON: The Professional

[eledoremassis02]

A thread for all you Jean Reno or The Professional Fans

[Darthphere]

I love this movie. Its where I first fell in love with Natalie Portman. Awesome story, great action and of course Gary Oldman was badass.

[eledoremassis02]

Leon made me fans of Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman. That movie has to be one of the best

[Sava]

a truely great film :up:

[Steelsheen]

loved this film!

the way the film ended its perfect for a sequel. arent they working on that Mathilda screenplay yet? i think Portman already agreed to do it if the script is good isnt it?

[Everyman]

Great movie, one of the few of Besson I like. It has some of his main little obsession (the police as a corrupted force) but not to the point of being irritating like in his next movies.

[JackBauer]

hands down one of the, if not the, best action movies ever.

[Morg]

Love the movie and thought Natalie Portman was great in it(cute too! :D ) heard there is a special edition dvd of it with extra scenes and more action in it. Never could find it :(

[블라스]

EDIT: Cause it made Rizpower angry :confused:

[블라스]

Ok, it's gone :confused:

there's "the professional" and "leon: the professional". the professional was the cut released theatrically in america. leon: the professinoal was the cut that WASNT released theatrically in america and it has more footage....really really cool footage!!! it IS on dvd. i got my copy at best buy...so you shouldnt have a problem finding it. i think there was even a sticker on the front saying it had the extra footage...i think theres also a superbit version of leon: the professional...but i was never into the superbits...you dont get the special features....

[Motown Marvel]

HOLY S#!T!!

just found this! january 11 they're coming out with a ten year deluxe edition!! Morg...just wait and buy this one, it will have the extra footage you were looking for!

These are the double dips I don't mind.

AWESOME!!!! Thats pretty cool.

Morg, I have Leon:The Professional and its not hard to find. I say you wait for this one though. And to point out, both versions are close-captioned.

[Darthphere]

WHOA WHOA WHOA! You fell in love with Natalie Portman? Wasn't she like 10 at the time? Sick bastard.

I was like 7 at the time. :rolleyes:

[Dark Carnage]

Love it.:up:

[Morg]

cool, thanks :)

[Nero_Ordin]

gary oldman was kickass and crazy. i found the little girl being in love with leon somewhat weird but good.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

This is one of the few movies that really deserves a sequel.Sadly,watching it makes me fear that I belong in jail.

[Motown Marvel]

yeah, i always thought it would be cool if they did a sequel called MATHILDA....whit mathilda grown up and her life as an assassin...BUT, it would have to be done very carefully and well. get luc besson to return as writer/director...get portman to return to the role, etc....

[Morg]

gary oldman was kickass and crazy. i found the little girl being in love with leon somewhat weird but good.

Don't know if it's true but I actually heard Leon was surpose to have sex with her :eek: but N. Portman parents objected to that part so it was written out.

[Nero_Ordin]

that is sick!!!!!

[eledoremassis02]

I read the original script, no thats just a rumer cause of ther relationship

[Nero_Ordin]

good because that is pushing it too far because i thought leon was a good father figure for malitda.

[Tangled Web]

Don't know if it's true but I actually heard Leon was surpose to have sex with her :eek: but N. Portman parents objected to that part so it was written out.
No way!

Cool thread, I was thnking about sequel possibilities. I heard Portman said she's up for it.

[Assassin]

Love the movie and thought Natalie Portman was great in it(cute too! :D ) heard there is a special edition dvd of it with extra scenes and more action in it. Never could find it :(

:wow:

lol sorry, had to point it out

Anyways, this is one of my favorite movies ever. :up:

lol.

[Wolfwood]

I saw this movie when I was about 8 and ever since then I've considered Jean Reno to be one my favorite actors.

I don't know about a sequel though, Jean Reno made that movie what it is for me and while I like Natalie Portman I couldn't imagine a "Professional" movie with just her as the lead.

[RedIsNotBlue]

I have been hoping for a while they give this movie the videogame treatment. Luc Besson really shines with this gem. A+ film that never gets too old to watch.

[Fried Gold]

Don't know if it's true but I actually heard Leon was surpose to have sex with her :eek: but N. Portman parents objected to that part so it was written out.It's still implied in the film though.

[The Chairman]

I love it. Briliant movie, one of my favorites. (Just look at my avvy). Portman deserved an Oscar (one of, if not the, best debut performances ever) and Oldman is at his best here. And yes, I'd love a sequel. Portman said on the deluxe edition that she'd do it if Besson wanted to.

[CyberFaust]

if there was a sequel they would turn portman's character into the brunette nikita (that isn't sidney bristow)

[Tangled Web]

If they do a sequel she needs to look after a young boy. And she should cross that line and have sex with him. :eek:

[Cinemaman]

^^^

This boy will be lucky :D :up:

[The Chairman]

I'll be on the look-out for "Audition" signs.

[Bullseye]

I fully support the idea for a sequel. This was truly a great film.

[Bastila]

You know I only saw this film, this year I went round my friends and he put it on, and I really liked it, great film very cool. Would love to see another one.

[Retro]

I loke & hate the idea of a sequel. HOllywood would just screw it up!
BTW, Bullseye.. I love your avvie! Please tell me you have a bigger version of it somewhere!

[ShaneHelms]

A Sequel eh?

[I Am The Knight]

God, I love this movie! Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, and Gary Oldman ara all great in it. The film has become one of my favorites. I think a sequel with Portman could work, but only if it was a great script.

[Tangled Web]

Mathilda: The Proffesional II

[Cаrter]

A Sequel eh?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/shanehelms121/CopyofNatintheProfessional.jpg

That is a pretty cool idea for a sequel. I like the title, kind of inspired me to create my own. I was bored
And yes it was fun pasting Portman's head on Milla Jovovich's body.

[ShaneHelms]

Glad you liked my title, I dont know where it came from.. just popped into my head. I like the poster man. Good work there.

[Cаrter]

Thanks, I think I'll be tweaking it.
I have a few other ideas

[ShaneHelms]

Nice work again on the revamp. Looks alot better.

[X-Ray]

I'd love to see a sequel with Portman. I can see her character going to work for the Italian guy with the restaurant. Of course on the side she'd be cleaning up the left overs from Stansfield crew :word::up:

Too bad Danny Aeillo is practically retired.

[ShaneHelms]

Damn shame.

I don't think she'd want to work for him anyway. It's not like she has no where else to go. He took advantage of Leon. Mathilda is smarter than that.

[Bullseye]

Mathilda: The Proffesional II

I'd like for 'Mathilda' to be part of the title of the film in some way. Your idea isn't a bad one though.

[Fanticon]

Leon The Professional....was, is, will always be, one of my favorite movies of all time.
