YMMV: The Professional
  • Complete Monster: Stansfield is such a psychopath that even his own men are afraid of him.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Leon showing Tony his new apprentice.
    Tony: Isn't there supposed to be an age limit?
    • Also, the scene where Matilda fires a gun randomly... followed by she and Leon being forced to move.
      Léon: Mathilda, don't you ever do that again or I'll break your head. You got that?
      Mathilda: OK.
      Léon: I don't work like that. It's not professional. There is rules!
      Mathilda: OK.
      Léon: And stop saying "OK" all the time! OK?
      Mathilda: OK.
      Léon: Good.
  • Memetic Mutation: Everyone? EEEVVERYYYYOOONNEEEE!!!
  • Moral Event Horizon: Stansfield crosses it faily early on, when he kills Matilda's family.
  • Narm: Léon's slow motion, cross-eyed "AAAAAAHHHHHHH" right before his room gets hit with a grenade.
  • Special Effects Failure: Stansfield discovers the grenades in Leon's vest. Cut to outside, where one of the cars blows up before the explosion happens in the building itself.
  • The Woobie: The main characters. Léon especially, who even as a hired killer, behaves rather childishly and innocent. He drinks milk, waters potted plants and watches old musicals with the look of a fascinated boy.
