It's worth buying the International version on DVD, there's a good 25 minutes cut from the UK release.

Make sure you feel thoroughly guilty about ogling Natalie Portman later in Star Wars!

I must say that Luc Besson is one of my all time favorite directors, and Jean Reno is amazing. Leon is a classic film, and I second the opinion to get hold of the international version (try dvdboxoffice.com), the extra scenes do add a little more to the film.

I always have a real problem deciding which is my fave Luc Besson film. Leon, The Fifth Element, Nikita, or Taxi. Tres difficile

Really !!! I didnt know that

I know he cast Mila Jojovitch (sp?) in 5th Element, so he could ask her out and then marry her

I think they split up after a while tho, Luc Besson co directed and co wrote the George Clooney film Solaris too

If Luc Besson was dead it would be all over the internet wouldn't it?
