Léon: The Professional

CrimeDramaAction

Directed by Luc Besson

Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner". But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon's footsteps. From TMDB

    Luc Besson: "so the protagonist is a hired assassin, and his name is Léon, so the movie is called Léon" American distributor: "listen, Lukie baby, Americans ain't gonna go for that.

    I get why people get confused because nobody wants to empathize with a child but the movie is called Léon in the same way My Neighbor Totoro is named My Neighbor Totoro, if that makes sense

    Race thread: 🇫🇷 Tro Bro Léon 2026, May 10. Here it is, the .Pro race across the farm tracks of Brittany. ![](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/b472443a-2bd8-43e7-8dbc-76f493428bb9.jpeg) If I trust the weather forecast, this year will be muddy as well. The course if made of a big loop, starting inland, then closer to the shores at it comes back towards the final circuit in Lannilis. The race is 200 km long, including 34 km of unpaved road.…

    ZIGOMAR fun fact: when Léon Sazie gave Éclair the rights to Zigomar, the deal was that they would make FIVE movies based off of the stories that Sazie had written and planned to write as the films were released. The first film (Roi des Voleurs) followed the first volume (Le Maître Invisible) -

    In 1914 Léon Sazie, author of Zigomar, worked on a four-part film with the studio Pathé Fères titled “Les Requins de Paris” (The Sharks of Paris). This time, rather than fighting the Z Gang, the police are fighting the V Gang! And instead of making Z’s with their hands, they make V’s!

    Well yes, LOL I was saying Léon as the movie, not the man. It's one of my favorite movies, but I actually don't want more. And that's kind of rare because I usually do.

    We are in full agreement. It might be nothing. But even the hint of pneumococcal plague should be enough to get everyone activated. … And by everyone I mean the Gary Oldman scream of “EVERYONE!!!!” in the classic movie Léon: The Professional.
