The Professional	comment	The Professional — also known as Leon: The Professional and LÃ©on in France and many other countries — is a 1994 film directed by Luc Besson and produced by Gaumont which stars Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman (in her first major movie role) and Danny Aiello. It was inspired by Jean Reno's One-Scene Wonder character in Nikita, as a "cleaner" who ties up loose ends in operations-gone-awry, who became so popular that Besson decided to essentially make a whole movie about him, though the two films are otherwise unrelated. It was released by Columbia Pictures in North America, while in France it was released by Disney under Gaumont Buena Vista International.Leone "LÃ©on" Montana (Reno) is a quiet, skilled assassin whose next-door neighbors were just gunned down by crooked DEA agent Norman "Stan" Stansfield (Oldman) and his crew; the only survivor of the massacre is 12-year-old Mathilda Lando (Portman), who begs LÃ©on to save her from the corrupt cops who murdered her family. LÃ©on reluctantly takes Mathilda under his wing and, at her insistence, teaches her in the ways of his trade. Mathilda is intent on avenging her family by going after Stansfield— and LÃ©on is intent on keeping Mathilda safe at all costs.This film is not to be confused with The Professionals (a British TV series), The Professionals (an American Western film), Le Professionnel (a 1981 French film), or Golgo 13: The Professional.

He spends the rest of his day as mundanely as possibleâ€”going to the store, watering his plants and cleaning his guns. Norman Stansfield gets two establishing moments: he's introduced standing in the background, listening to classical music on his headphones and completely disconnected from the rest of the world. Then, when Malky informs him of a problem (a drug holder apparently cut some of the dope he was supposed to be keeping safe), he removes the headphones, and sniffs the holder for a few seconds, before declaring him innocent. Stansfield's next scene shows him leading a gang of thugs towards the holder's apartment: he takes a moment to down a pill and muse on how much he likes "these calm little moments before the storm," before charging into the apartment with a shotgun, killing the holder's wife, the holder's teenage daughter, then finally cornering the holder himself... so he can chat about classical music while the rest of his gang search the apartment for drugs.

These rounds are used for close-quarters training and lack the velocity to hit a target at the distance the politician was implied to be from them. LÃ©on's IKEA Weaponry on the rooftop. Assembling/breaking down a scoped rifle on-location does not happen. Any time a firearm is modified (changing a bolt/barrel, attaching a suppressor, etc.), its accuracy is greatly affected. This is why once a rifle is "sighted in," it stays in that configuration - otherwise, the weapon's sighting must be zeroed out again.

Stansfield coldbloodedly massacres Mathilda's family, including her father, mother, teenage sister, and infant brother. The sympathetic Leon and his protÃ©gÃ© adhere to a "no women, no children" creed; gunning down random men in a park for target practice is just fine. This got toned down in the production to having Mathilda shoot just one man in the park with a paint pellet, and asking to "use real bullets next time", but the fact that the original idea was even considered is telling. Additionally, countless male mooks are massacred, together with a SWAT team (who were only doing their jobs, albeit for a corrupt boss), and Leon's contracted targets who were never depicted doing anything unsympathetic.

The Professional / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Professional / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: LÃ©on signs into a hotel registry under the name "MacGuffin". Mathilda seems to like The Transformers, as she is seen watching the show on TV in various scenes. The film occasionally has closeups of characters from the show such as Optimus Prime and Megatron. Singin' in the Rain is discussed and seen throughout the film from Leon watching the movie in a theatre to Mathilda dressing up as Gene Kelly and singing the titular song. Madonna gets quite a few references in the film such as a poster of the singer in the Lando apartment and Mathilda singing "Like A Virgin" while wearing the former's costume. Mathilda's impression of Marilyn Monroe was inspired by a similar scene in Wayne's World where Wayne does an rendition of Monroe's "Happy Birthday, Mr. President". Bonnie and Clyde and Thelma & Louise are mentioned by Mathilda when trying to convince Leon to train her to become an assassin. Norman Stansfield flat out says to his superiors "I haven't got time for this Mickey Mouse bullshit" after asking him about what happened during the apartment raid.
