Corrected entry: In the scene at the hotel where Leon kills Fatman's bodyguards outside the metal shutters, Fatman shoots the shutters with a Spectre M4 but more than 50 bullet holes appear (almost double by my count), more than the largest Spectre magazine holds. (00:06:10)

Directed by: Luc Besson
Starring: Gary Oldman, Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, Danny Aiello
Continuity mistake: After Leon rescues Mathilda from the SWAT team and dodges the snipers, he shoots out a ventilation fan to make an escape route. He gets off two shots before we see the vent, but when it does we see about 7 bullet holes around the vent. Then the camera goes back to Leon as he continues firing. When the camera switches back, the holes around the vent are different. (01:27:05)

Trivia: In the shot outside of Tony's restaurant, before the scene where we see him celebrating his birthday and being interrupted by Stansfield, you can see someone walking past the restaurant. That person is Luc Besson, the director of the movie.
Question: Why is Mathilda abused by her father, mother, and older sister?
Answer: No specific reason is given; it's most likely intended to highlight that her family are bad people (they are drug dealers after all) and to show in contrast that Mathilda and her little brother are not, so we feel badly for them.

Correction: Firstly he doesn't use a Spectre, secondly, he picks up two guns so about double would be right anyway. The guy that uses a Spectre that shoots through the door of apartment 508 later on has time to reload.
