And what a great film.

Shame I don't have ITV2.

Still, I have the DVD.

I have been asking round my work colleagues to try and find out what the bit of music was that was used on the trailers for this film recently.

Please someone, put me out of my misery...

(I am hoping and praying its not something like meatloaf which a couple of people have suggested).

One of you guys is bound to know!

I got the integral version when it first came out in Japan a while back. Was a total nightmare to get hold of (an very expensive iirc), but I think it's freely available now.

It's good, I prefer it to the cut version. Fleshes out their relationship a bit more and the film seems like it's set over a longer peroid of time due to some of the new scenes.

Definitely worth getting hold of if you're a fan of the original.

Fanatastic film. Didn't enjoy it as much this time round as the last but still very, very good. I like the lack of speech it definitly adds to it. "Do that again and I'll break your head!" Awesome!

I still can't really work out the underlying relationship between the girl and Leon though. My flat mate, who was watching it for the first time, was a little disturbed by this aspect I think.

Oldman, is pretty good at that charactor, i especially liked the white rastasfarian sidekick, he had in tow, and the oldman dance he does to himself, while carrying the shotgun around the girls home
(oh and the camera shot from above, of him loosening his neck muscles,in the middle of shooting everybody

Shooting the guy in the park with paint always makes me smile.

Most excellent film!

"Somebody's coming up and he's....Serious!"

Not sure about the paintball bullet, anything that accurate over that range has to be 1) moving VERY fast and 2) fairly heavy, i.e. pretty damn lethal.

I really must try and get hold of integral, the first kill you see leon do is the best, he is like a ghost.

re paintballs, the US armed forces use RAM real action markers which do really hurt,
