All right, guys, I'm going to level with you.

程度の副詞

We have no solid reasoning for doing this one, except that we just wanted to.

We have no idea how you guys feel about this movie, but

Here are seven things you didn't know about Léon, aka The Professional,

Many of you may know that Léonwas inspired by Jean Reno's character in Luc Besson's

In that one, Reno plays another cleaner named Victor.

overall story of Léon's relationship with Mathilda is based on Besson's real life

relationship with his then-girlfriend, the French actress known as Maiwenn.

She played the diva in his next film, The Fifth Element, and here she is in Léon.

Maiwenn met Luc Besson when she was only 12 years old but he was 29 at the time.

Nonetheless, Maiwenn says that she was in love with Besson by the time she was 15.

Mathilda isn't shocking to Maiwenn because she feels that it's her story.

And Maiwenn isn't the only person who doesn't see the film as shocking.

>> A girl's first time is very important.

It determines the rest of our life sexually.

controversial in the US, the French generally didn't get bent out of

shape about Léon and Mathilda's relationship.

I'm sure plenty of you have strong opinions and

a whole lot to say about it in the comments.

So while you all do that, I'm just going to move on to our next thing.

>> You know this part, where Mathilda and

Well, aside from Gene Kelly, which was written into the script, all of the stars

Mathilda impersonates came from Natalie Portman doing them in her audition.

Luc Besson asked her what impressions she could do and

She'd been a fan of Madonna in real life so that one was no brainer and

she knew of Charlie Chaplin just from watching movies at home.

But the best story is Marilyn Monroe, and

it's the best because she's not actually doing an impression of Marilyn Monroe.

She's doing an impression of Mike Myers doing an impression of Marilyn Monroe.

seen Mike Meyers do the Happy Birthday, Mr. President shtick in Wayne's World and

thought it was hilarious, obviously, and it stuck with her.

President. >> This is just one of those impressions

that never has to be particularly good to be still pretty good,

you know, like Christopher Walken or Seinfeld or Arnold.

Now get to the chopper so we can move onto our next thing and

(Sound) Filming on Léon was split between the U.S.

All of Léon's apartment interiors are on a set at Epernay Studios.

But parts like this, in the hallways and on the stairs,

were done at the famous Chelsea Hotel on 23rd Street in New York.

Léon has actually gone from New York to Paris in a matter of seconds.

But going back to the Chelsea Hotel, it's famous for artists like Andy Warhol,

Dylan Thomas and Mark Twain staying there, as well as Sid Vicious, who,

coincidentally, Gary Oldman played in his first major movie role in Sid and Nancy.

that is (Sound) Our obligatory bonus thing you didn't know.

(Sound) >> I think we can all agree that the guns

But Léon went into production just a few months after

Brandon Lee was killed while filming The Crow.

The tragedy cast a certain apprehension over the entire Léon production, And

over Natalie Portman's parents. >> (Sound)

many weapons in the film Portman's parents hired a weapons expert to teach her how to

assemble the guns herself, how to check to make sure there wasn't live ammo in there,

how to tell the difference between a bullet and a blank,

So, for the most part, when we see Mathilda doing her gun chores in the film,

Natalie Portman pretty much knew what she was doing for real.

And since she was only 11 at the time that makes her, pretty much,

the most badass tween ever. >> A little left, please.

(Bleep) I was still wetting the bed. >> Ahh!

(Sound) >> Learning how to handle guns properly

and safely wasn't the only requirement that Natalie Portman's parents had for

They also took issue with Mathilda's smoking.

In the end they worked out a pretty detailed agreement with Besson on how

the whole underage smoking thing was going to work.

For one, we could see no more than five cigarettes in Mathilda's

Third, we could never see Matilda actually inhale.

That's why we only see her bring the cigarette to her lips, but
