Léon: The Professional/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Tony: Isn't there supposed to be an age limit?

    • Also, the scene where Matilda fires a gun randomly... followed by she and Leon being forced to move.

Léon: Mathilda, don't you ever do that again or I'll break your head. You got that?
Mathilda: OK.
Léon: I don't work like that. It's not professional. There is rules!
Mathilda: OK.
Léon: And stop saying "OK" all the time! OK?

Mathilda: OK.

Léon: Good.

  • Memetic Mutation: Everyone? EEEVVERYYYYOOONNEEEE!!!
  • Moral Event Horizon: Stansfield crosses it faily early on, when he kills Matilda's family.
  • Narm: Léon's slow motion, cross-eyed "AAAAAAHHHHHHH" right before his room gets hit with a grenade.
  • Special Effects Failure: Stansfield discovers the grenades in Leon's vest. Cut to outside, where one of the cars blows up before the explosion happens in the building itself.
  • The Woobie: The main characters. Léon especially, who even as a hired killer, behaves rather childishly and innocent. He drinks milk, waters potted plants and watches old musicals with the look of a fascinated boy.
  • Wicked Cultured: like Alex in A Clockwork Orange, Stan is a psychotic classical music fan.
