Reply to comment by bourj in Leon: The Professional (1994) Discussion by HS_13_

Watch the European version, Leon: The Professional, it has different scenes and editing from the American version, The Professional. In Luc Besson's original cut, there are some very overt examples of, let's say, inappropriate interactions between a grown man and a child. Even moreso in his original script that didn't make the cut (thank fuck for that).

Luc Besson is a pedo, if that helps explain it.

I own both copies, I'm not sure what you're referring to besides the Mathilda drunk dinner, which is nothing more than Mathilda embarrassing herself. Leon doesn't approach anything inappropriate towards Mathilda, from what I recall.

Off the top of my head, the bed scene and the dress scene come to mind.
