The cover presents only the title: Leon, as it was simply known in UK and around some parts of Europe at time of release, but the disc adds: "El Professional" subtitle.

| | Couple more scans added,i haven't bothered with the disc as mine looks like it's been a cat's plaything;).My back cover only differs to MM's by having a circular holographic sticker instead of an oblong. |

| | Don't worry about it MM. We've only just started on this potentially enormous world.
I think it's a great film too, one of the last I actually saw in a cinema. Used to have a VHS, but lent it out and never got it back... or did I - lots of boxes not looked in yet. |

Another point I suppose unique to DVD & Blu-Ray... they have multiple subtitle and language capabilities which allows multiple country release in a way that VHS cannot.
I should have uploaded a disc scan too, as the odd subtitle of: "EL Professional", Not: "THE Professional". or even: "LE Professional" only confuses the matter further (I do wonder if my disc actually goes with/came with the cover (got this second hand)). |

| | I also think this a UK release, not Europe.
The certification is for UK, and the VPRC (Video Packaging Review Committee) logo is UK only. It may have course been available in other European countries where video certification is not a legal requirement. I've left it as Europe for now |

| | Agree.
Never really looked that closely at DVD packaging before (at least, not the way I've come to learn to examine music media), and in some cases, you're lucky to be given any date whatsoever, so very difficult to get a fix on it, and while movie production dates can generally be found online, DVD, and other format release dates don't seem to be easy to find.
As a matter of course from now on, I'll leave the date blank unless, as in the case of my Highlander DVD, it gives both the Movie copyright date AND the issue date.
Guidance on dates is needed in forums I think. |

| | Date cannot be 1994, the first DVDs went on sale in 1997. There may be a (post 1997) date on the packaging, but I can't see it on the scan. I have therefore removed the date for now. |
