homage to leon?


the scene where liu says "i'm coming up" before entering the biulding to confront richard took me right back to the scene in leon aka the professional when we get our first glimpse of leon at work. i believe it goes something like this:

(thug is on phone with fat bastard upstairs)
leon: tell him i'm coming up.
thug: he's coming up.
(leon blows the thug away)

(liu is on the phone with richard upstairs)
liu: i'm coming up.
richard (to thugs): he's coming up!

i'm sure that's not exactly right, but it's close. anyways, did anyone else notice this? i might be reading too much into it.

Wouldn't suprise me,pretty sure Luc Besson had his finger in this pie ;)

It has to be the Besson connection; i thought ALOT in this movie bore comparison with Leon.

The laundry chute scene was just like the dumbwaiter scene in Professional as well.
