Movie watched: Hot Fuzz

Connection to La Femme Nikita: Remember, LFN was a stand-in for Léon (aka The Professional). In Hot Fuzz, "The Japanese peace lily that Nicholas Angel brings with him and takes care of is much like Léon's plant in the movie Léon. When he talks about it, similar dialogue is used." (from IMDb Movie Connections page for Hot Fuzz).

Likely the most tenuous connection so far but that's what this is all about. No one said it would be easy.

Cold Souls. No connection required as this is new in theatres.
Verdict: Eternal Sunshine without the fun, but still worth a look.

Movie watched: La Femme Nikita

Connection to La Haine: well, we needed a connection between this and Hot Fuzz. The obvious choice was Léon (aka The Professional) but it was not handy ("WHAT!" you say, "you don't own The Professional?" – I know, I know! However, a quick replacement was on our shelf: La Femme Nikita. Nikita was directed by Luc Besson (as is Léon) and stars Jean Reno (as does Léon). Also, both films have (**SPOILER ALERT**) hitwomen as central themes.

Nikita is French and takes place in France (what are the chances?), which connects it to La Haine in it's own right. Léon gets to Hot Fuzz through a connection which I'll discuss after we've watched it.
