15. Norman Stansfield Sends An Army To Deal With Two People Leon
Gary Oldman is awesome at playing villains, and Leons Norman Stansfield might be up there with the best of them. The blokes some sort of unhinged, terrifying loon, a corrupt cop who has no qualms in conducting public hits over missing cocaine. Such is the fate which befalls Mathildas family, who attracts Stansfields ire after some of the white pony he keeps stashed in the flat goes walkabout. Of course, him peppering Mathildas father with
way more bullets than was needed for having the temerity to ruin his suit with blood and gunning down a four-year-old kid just provides the foreshadowing for the hell-bent insanity to come, namely when he sends a huge army of SWAT teamers carrying an RPG, no less along with regular police to apprehend one hitman and a 12-year-old girl. The very act of him sending a horde of blue to take on two people inside a tiny apartment into is one of the most amazingly ridiculous things Ive seen in a while. I know Leon is some sort of avenging angel and a clear danger, but still, the amount of men Stansfield sends in is so huge as to be preposterous. Im aware hes probably higher than a kite throughout the events witness when he yells everyone at Benny but still, theres got to be better ways to spend tax dollars than accosting a grumpy plant-growing Frenchman and his ward.
