i ALMOST cry every time I see this, i was like that for a second when i was a kid we thought the world wanted to make us suffer but it was our fault, drugs the solution and the problem highschool friends died from drugs or homeless, past ten years I've been mostly clean, only vodka for the lonely square
HA... Je croyais que c'était mon oreille française qui me poussait à éprouver ça. Et ça me le fait sur plusieurs films... Ton commentaire me fait sentir mieux: je croyais être prosélytique Merci :)
This movie was an epiphany to me, along with few other ones. I happened to watch it in 91, I believe, and things were never the same to me ever since. I do still treasure this nickname I got after this movie... The 90s, the last decade before movie went to shit.
@@Brontosauredumarais I can tell his character gets guns stuffed in his face a lot. It's simple but clever how he always sets up his service revolver with the first shot empty in case someone tries to take him hostage. In the US remake, they probably couldn't find the same revolver model on short notice so they switched to a semi-auto. Even though it has a safety to disable the hammer/firing pin, Gabriel Byrne's character always left the chamber empty too. I wasn't expecting that the first time I saw the movie (the one with Bridget Fonda).

A classic scene that needs revisiting from time to time (these few minutes are more exciting than 8 hours of John Wick).
such a badass way to open a movie
exactly the way i think
True.
Eric serra, unmistakable music,
Yep.
This and Goldeneye 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Underrated opening and walk
Facts this whole opening is childhood memories for me.
i ALMOST cry every time I see this, i was like that for a second when i was a kid
we thought the world wanted to make us suffer
but it was our fault, drugs the solution and the problem
highschool friends died from drugs or homeless, past ten years I've been mostly clean, only vodka for the lonely square
True but that's unfortunately the system we are born in to...suffering
Ugh, if anyone wants to see this movie, watch it in it’s original French with English subtitles. It loses so much of its charm, dubbed in English.
Yeah. I was looking for the original one, but I can't find it online.

So true!
This just SO does not work in English! One of the most brilliant opening scenes ever and they ruin it by dubbing into polite American
@@janetgough6585 entièrement d accord, il n y a rien qui marche en anglais...alors que c est cette intro qui te hype pour tout le film...
4:51 The most laughably corny part of this entire movie with the English dub lol! "My name is Rico! My name is Rico!"
Amazing movie opening.

The 90s, the last decade before movie went to shit.
Agree!
And music too
Your full name? ... Nikitaaa ;)
@@msh9497 :))))
My name is biiiitch!!!!! (or how it goes in English).
@@nikita70 🤣🤣🤣
Im glad I never saw the english dub version of this movie first time round
saw this in 91 with subtitles Fucking great movie you need to see it on a big screen
I saw it on the big screen. It was great
amazing first 5 minutes! full of bizarre style
"j'ai zappé" "c'est tout ce que tu peux faire"
Never thought I see Tcheky Karyo operate that Skorpion SMG like a boss though. 😤
4:26 & 4:44
It’s not Tcheky Karyo, this cop gets killed by Nikita a minute later.

I get goosebumps every time
I remember my old nightclubbing days. There was always that one friend you had to drag everywhere. He's a ceo now.
Watched this in French last night, for the first time, holy shitballs.
Such pure Ballistics and Tacticalness!
Bienvenue en France ! :-)
4k Release in June!! YESSSS
gr8 tik tak toe haircut. gr8 opening!!
What's with the English dubbing ruining a French movie?
I mean, usually it's the other way around.
4:53 "My name is Rico! My name is Rico!!" Such cringing dub lol!
Translated to English, so crazy. I like it!.
You cut the best part !!
The brave policemen were they GIGN ???
GIGN aren't police, and they wouldn't be called for a basic break-in in a pharmacy.
@@MB-fo2sk so they are counter terrorism

DINGUE
Besson’s a pretty decent director.
Reminds me of the opening to the movie:
‘Home Alone 3.’
J'adore l'autre qui traîne la meuf complètement défaite
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
mythique
Ah, you cut out before the sniper.
Mark duret always grins like a psycho
Isn't the movie a bit fast also the music?

Subtitles would change everything here.... so poorly dubbed... 🧐
Great to hear the English dubbing. Not.
