Which film is the last panel?

Leon the Professional i think

That's a great movie I'll never watch again. Creeps me out. Luc Besson should be in jail.

Been out of the loop. Whats going on with Besson?

On top of the other comment he apparently modeled aspects of Leon and Mathilda’s relationship on his own romantic one which sketches me out to no end. I enjoyed the movie but the cut I saw felt a little too close to romantic rather than the guardian/parental dynamic I expected and I didn’t even see the extended cut.

10/10 camera angle when Leon screams though.

He got together with his second wife when he was 31, and she was 15. So you know, bit of a pedo. Also knocked her up and she had a kid at 16.
