Two victims of traumatized childhoods become lovers and psychopathic serial murderers irresponsibly glorified by the mass media.

Natural Born Killers is a 1994 crime film directed by Oliver Stone about a pair of mass murderers and the media coverage given to them. It stars Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, along with Rodney Dangerfield, Robert Downey, Jr., Tom Sizemore, and Tommy Lee Jones.

The film is based on a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino that was heavily revised by Stone with writer Dave Veloz and associate producer Richard Rutowski. Notorious for its violent content, the film was named the 8th most controversial movie of all time by Entertainment Weekly

Trivia:

Michael Madsen was initially considered for the role of Mickey, but Warner Bros wanted somebody less intimidating, and with a softer persona, as they felt this might alleviate the brutality of the character somewhat.

During filming, director Oliver Stone would play African tribal music at full blast on the set, as a way of keeping a frantic mood.

The color green is used to indicate the sickness in Mickey’s mind and shows up prominently several times during the film: the key lime pie at the diner, the green neon at the drugstore, the green room in the prison.

This was Quentin Tarantino’s second feature length screenplay (his first was True Romance (1993)). The script was rewritten by director Oliver Stone, producer Richard Rutowski and screenwriter David Veloz prior to and during production. The finished film bears little resemblance to Tarintino’s original script.

According to director Oliver Stone, actor Rodney Dangerfield didn’t understand the film during shooting and didn’t understand what Stone was trying to do by shooting such a dark subject as a father molesting his daughter in the style of a 1950’s sitcom. As such, he found it very difficult to perform his part. Stone was delighted however when the film came out and Dangerfield’s performance was hailed as one of the movie’s strongest points.

Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman and Danny Aiello star in LÉON THE PROFESSIONAL, a go-for-broke thriller about a professional assassin whose work becomes dangerously personal. Calling himself a “cleaner,” the mysterious Léon is New York’s top hit man. When his next-door neighbors are murdered, Léon becomes the unwilling guardian of the family’s sole sur vivor – 12-year-old Mathilda. But Mathilda doesn’t just want protection; she wants revenge. Training her in the deadly tricks of his trade, Léon helps her track the psychotic agent who murdered her family. From the electrifying opening to the fatal finale, LÉON THE PROFESSIONAL is a nonstop crescendo of action, suspense and surprises. Experience the uncut version, with 24 minutes of footage not included in the original U.S. theatrical version.

Trivia:

Natalie Portman was originally turned down by Todd M. Thaler (the casting director) due to being too young, but she returned to the auditions and performed the scene where Mathilda laments the loss of her brother. Luc Besson was so impressed with the depth of emotion she summoned during the audition that he gave her the role.

The original script had more scenes with “awkward sexual tension” between Mathilda and Léon. These scenes were later cut out for the American release dubbed “The Professional”, but were included in the 1996 European release, as well as in the deleted scenes of the special edition DVD. They were reintegrated back into the film for the ‘International Cut’, which is now available on DVD.

This is Natalie Portman’s motion picture debut. She was 11 when she was cast.

Léon Gaumont was a French inventor developing cinematographic techniques in the late 19th century alongside with the Lumière brothers. Gaumont is the name of the production company that made this film.

Trivia:

The location filming of the front of Alex’s flat and surroundings was filmed on or around Lupus Street in Pimlico, London (’Lupus’ is the Latin for ‘wolf’).
