We could pretend that we’re doing this Things You Didn’t Know about Leon because it involves a lot of guns, and so does the upcoming James Bond flick, Spectre. But that’s not true. We just freakin’ love this movie, and we wanted to learn all sorts of fun facts about it. So we did!

We’re happy to present you with 7 facts about what we think is Luc Besson’s best movie, Léon, which you may have seen released as “The Professional.” Starring Jean Reno and itty bitty Natalie Portman, it’s a moving and controversial thriller that’s always worth a re-watch. But first, enjoy these seven little-known facts!

What did you think? Did you know any of these facts already? What’s your favorite Luc Besson Movie? the Fifth Element? La Femme Nikita? The Transporter? Lucy? What other films would you like to see us expire on future editions of Things You Didn’t Know?

Let us know in the comments below!
