Directed by: Luc Besson
Starring: Gary Oldman, Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, Danny Aiello
Visible crew/equipment: When the SWAT team fires the grenade into the apartment at the end, the guide wire along which it is traveling is very obvious. It's actually easier to see in normal speed. (01:29:25)
Visible crew/equipment: Near the end of the film Leon tells Mathilda to grab the axe. As she opens the glass door to get it you can see the camera and its operator filming reflected in it.
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: Near the half-hour mark, Gary Oldman pulls out a small box of green-and-yellow pills and takes one. What exactly is it?
Answer: Some kind of (unnamed) drug. Just to show how nasty the DEA agent is.
