Other mistake: When Leon enters the apartment building in the first shots he, needs to go up the stairwell in order to get to his apartment. But in the scene when Mathilda enters the building (after getting groceries while her parents got shot), she's right on the apartment floor without having to use the stairwell in the first place. (00:20:00 - 00:30:00)

Suggested correction: There's no mistake at all. Mathilda leaves the grocery store at 30m21s. Then the scene cuts to her coming out of the elevator opposite the staircase at 30m33s. We don't see her walking up the stairs because she didn't use them.

Other mistake: When Mathilda goes back to her old apartment to get the hidden money, there are the typical yellow 'Police Line, Don't Cross' tapes in front of the entrance and she has to contort herself through the tapes to get in. Then three men enter the apartment off-camera, but when Stansfield exits the apartment through that door he rips the police line tapes off the door frame. So, how did the three grown-ups enter the apartment without removing the tape? (01:04:05 - 01:06:35)

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)

Question: I was wondering about the title change from "Leon" to the "Professional". Was the title only changed in the U.S. and if so why?

Answer: According to IMDb.com the title was only changed in the United States and the reason why was maybe audiences would find the title, "The Professional" more appealing than "Leon."
