So many scenes that are some dumb that they come back around to being entertaining in a funny-bad kind of way.
I wonder if that's the appeal of it to most people.

Come on now, guys. To name a few:

- That scene at the end where The Police is raiding his apartment and Leon, in all of his infinite, super assassin wisdom, decides to come at them upside down in a super vulnerable position and, unsurprisingly, gets shot.

- "You should be watering me if you want me to grow."

- The scene where Natalie Portman lies about being Leon's lover and, instead of calling the cops (because that would break the plot), they just escort the alleged pedophile out with the girl still in his care.

- Gary Oldman's entire character.

I'm under the belief that Luc Besson was huffing Gorilla Glue as he was writing the script.

Basically most scenes involving Natalie Portman or Gary Oldman's characters.

Luc Besson got some of the inspiration for the movie from a relationship he had with a 15 year old when he was like 30.

A scene that always bugged me was when Leon says his "No women, no kids," catchphrase as he's killing a bunch of dudes. Why would he randomly say that? Oh right, because the script.

It makes sense the first time he says it because he was asked a question.

Yeah, but why (other than to tip Gary Oldman off, of course)? In what context? The guy's like, "I'm a cop!," then he turns to his friend, says the line and shoots the other guy. Made me laugh my ass off because of how goofy it was executed.

Because the cop killed Mathilda's family in the beginning, including her mother, older sister and younger brother. It was a principled revenge hit on her behalf. He says the line earlier in the movie as well when going over his rules for assassinations.

The dumb part is the movie asks you to believe criminals have a system to put blood money into a trust.

The dumbest part is when Leon dies and still has time to pull out a pin and the grenade doesn't go off until he's done saying his last line.

Remind me, did Gary Oldman even know how Leon looks like? He just had a gut feeling to shoot this particular guy in a disguise by chance and lucked the fuck out? Before he exploded.
