Nikita vs. Leon?

[Crimson King]

I'm a big fan of BOTH Luc Besson films. Both have Jean Reno in them. It's actaully hard to pick, I would say I like them pretty much equally but Leon is a better blu, due to having two versions of the film and extras, while Nikita is the movie only with zilch in the extras dept, I don't count BD-Live an extra (PQ and audio is great though)

ditto. Nikita is a great movie, but Leon is a classic.

Leon

Leon! Amazing film and stunning blu ray! I like Nikita too, but Leon has even more to offer in terms of depth of character/s and the Leon/Methilda relationship is so bittersweet. Oh, and it has Gary Oldman in one of his best roles ever.

Just love it!!

Leon

Leon's authenticity makes it a classic. Plus, you get a pleasure of watching the young performances of some beloved actors/actresses.

Never seen Nikita, but Leon is one of my favorites.

[ungood]

would've been nice to have this as a poll, especially to see how many would actually vote nikita over the pro

[lucv13]

LOL watched Leon this morning, great blu - Loved the Nikita movie too but the bd sucked got rid of it...

[I am blu]

hands up for Leon

[MTRodaba2468]

I haven't watched Nikita, but Leon is a classic.

[ascendedcobra]

Leon all the way! Its one of my favorites. I saw it once in theater and about 5-6 times on dvd. I still dont own the blu though. Nikita was great too saw it once on vhs.

[retablo]

Are you asking which film is better, or which blu-ray? If its film, then Nikita hands down. Leon takes the prize for better blu, though.

I'm glad Reno's role in Nikita was part of the inspiration for Leon. These films both have a good story but Leon had better performances.

you're the first to pick nikita over leon on this thread so far. so why do you think nikita is a better film?

[recS-12]

Leon- not even close.

[Crimson King]

One thing puzzles me, why is "Nikita" called "La Femme Nakita" on home video? The name of the film is simply "Nikita".

[P@t_Mtl]

Leon both version of Nikita (French or American) put me too sleep

[Petra_Kalbrain]

Leon is a far better film in every aspect.

Little bit of trivia for the Leon diehards... Who was originally tapped to play the roles of Leon and Mathilda?

[Show spoiler]Keannu Reeves & Liv Tyler

would not have been nearly as successful with those characters!
