if I correctly remember that movie it didn't end too well for the professional ;)

I respectfully disagree. He died protecting someone he loved, taking out an evil guy in the process. Thats as good a death as I could ask for.

Dude! Why do you have to post spoilers like that? Yeah it's far from a new release but still!

I haven't seen it yet and it's on my Hulu queue. Thanks!

Argh!

It's fifteen years old now. That's probably older than some of the people who post to this board. I'd have more sympathy for the 'spoiler' effect if the end wasn't also as obvious as a nail in the foot, even though its obviousness doesn't detract from the strength of the story.

Who moderated you up here? You give away the ending of a movie and then figuratevely give me the finger with a too-bad-for-you response and you get applauded for it.

Sheesh. Would it kill you and jacquesm to put a courtesy "spoiler alert" notice at the start of your messages?

(This is all incredibly off topic so this'll be my last post on it.)

apologies, I thought it was so old a spoiler alert would not be required. Carelessness on my part for sure, it's just that to me it is like discussing the ending of 'star wars' or 'the french connection'.

Great movie though, The Professional, go see it anyway, in spite of the spoiler and enjoy the music too.
