View Full Version : Versus...Vol. 1 - Leon vs. Jason Bourne

V.S. - A series of fights that the fans of movies would die to see.

FIGHTER PROFILES

Name - Leon
Occupation - Hitman
Trademarks - Carries around a plant, wears goofy suspenders
Appeared in - Leon the Professional (1994)

Name - Jason Bourne
Occupation - Questionable
Trademarks - Beating people up with ease, running away from people
Appeared in - The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Identity (1988), some book…

The Setup
The United States , who failed in previous attempts to cease the existence of Jason Bourne, hire a hitman named Leon…previously thought dead. He agrees to take the mission covertly, but on one condition…no 12 year old girls, anywhere. They told him that Bourne and his girlfriend, Marie Kreutz would be eating at a New York hotel at 8:00pm. “I’ll take care of it”, said Leon - who proceeded to leave with a plant he brought with him. He’s weird.

The action
Jason and Marie arrived at the Hilton at 8:00pm, as scheduled. They were walked up to a balcony-side table, sat down, and ordered drinks. All of a sudden, Jason says,
“I can tell you the license numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you the waitress is left-handed. I can tell you the guy sitting at the bar weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself, I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and I know that at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half a mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?”
“Ugh”, Marie said, “why the heck do you always say that when we come to a restaurant? You know who you are, you’re that guy from Project Greenlight. They don‘t even have a bar up here, it‘s downstairs.”
“Oh yeah.”
But wait. Jason catches a glint of light from the corner of his eye. With cat-like reflexes, he turns the table over, reflecting a well placed bullet heading for his left temple. Marie was confused.
“Run Lola, run!”
Leon was confused with that remark, after all, her name was Marie, right? Oh well, time to start shooting again! Several more shots from the shaded pistol hit the table, but not Jason Bourne. He’s super!

Jason Bourne is a master of getaways, so he’s not too worried about this situation. “How can one guy with a pistol and weird suspenders beat me, master of beating people up?”, he thought. The balcony was clear, it was just Bourne and Leon. They fought for a while, trading punches, kicks, and ninja chops. It probably would have been fun to watch, considering watching people fight is fun. Frustrated and mad, because Bourne knocked his round glasses off, Leon rushes him…this is it, he thinks, as Bourne goes over the balcony.

“Help me!”, says Bourne. Leon, looking at him, says “you look like the janitor in Goodwill Hunting.” Bourne reaches up and grabs onto a plant, but it slips off and falls 4 stories down, shattering. Leon looks pissed. He reaches up and comes down hard on Bourne, who falls as well…he probably landed on the plant, but who cares. He’s dead.

Leon looks up at the sky and puts his glasses back on. That was the last thing he remembered, because a bullet zipped through his chest and he fell to the ground. He opened his eyes one last time and muttered…”Mathilda….”

Standing over him was a girl with red hair. Looking at him, she said, “you look like Victor. Victor Nettoyeur.” Sexy assassins are always my favorite kind of assassins.

Hmmm, that was strange. Oh well, no clear winner here. Until next time!

Ahh, but a true professional gets close with a knife. Sniping is for beginners.

Leon wouldn't stand a chance against Bourne.

I'm not kidding either.

If we're talking guns Leon would snip Bourne from a mile away. If we're talking hand to hand, Bourne wins hands down.

Borune is not stupid enough to get sniped. He avioded that trap in the move very nicely.

Bourne wins, no contest.

In the Bourne Identity the sniper killed the dog, thus essentially tipping Bourne off.

Leon wouldn't make that type of mistake, and would snipe him handily.

Also, Bourne fought his way out of an embassy guarded by a contingent of U.S. Marines and scaled down the side of the building better than Peter Parker.

Leon couldn't even fight his way out of a building w/ armed cops.

It wasn't a mistake at all. It was a move that forced Bourne to react.

It was still stupid of he sniper to do that though. He had a clear shot.

I thought they killed him as he was saving Mathilda - as a previous poster said, "Well, since Leon is dead...". Didn't he die in the building? Or around the building? I don't remember him surviving - like Jason Bourne did.
You people need to get over your fascination of Leon. He was an illiterate hitman, who's sidekick was a 12-year-old. Did I mention he was French?!

Jason Bourne? What a joke! Mathilda would kick his pansy @$$!!!!

Even if Jason Bourne pulled all that kung-fu crap and beat Leon (which would never happen) Leon would just hand him a little something special to end the fight.

I don't know how anyone who has read the Bourne trilogy could say Leon would win, so I'm guessing all votes for Leon above are a result of (in my opinion) a terrible adaptation or an awsome book....The Bourne Identity.

Jason Bourne is THE ulitmate badass. sorry Leon fans.

Obviously we are not talking about books here, we are talking about a wannabe action star in Matt Damon and a true action star in Jean Reno.

Oh, I guess I misread the thread. I thought it said Jason Bourne vs. Leon. It must have said Reno vs. Damon.

It was based on the movies, I've never read the book.

Jason Bourne would be too much for Leon to handle.

Ah but the job is for Leon is to kill Bourne and I would counter that Leon has never failed in those sort of jobs..

so even if he might not be able to hang in a hand to hand combat, I'm sure in the end, some how some way, Leon is going to be kill Bourne even if the price to do it is his own death. So on some level that's winning right?

Sure not a clean walk away sort of win but heck if Bourne is dead, mission accomplished! Leon wins (sort of). heh

Yes, but the original question / statement was:

(Originally posted by bahist17)
"Leon couldn't even fight his way out of a building w/ armed cops."

... and it was to that statement that I replied that Leon did indeed "fight his way out of a building w/ armed cops."

I know, I know .. getting very technical here. :D

Back to the question as to who would win .. just watch the opening 10 mins or so of Leon in action .. and you will know that Jason Bourne doesn't stand a chance. Besides, Jason Bourne didn't have "EVERYOOOOOONE!!" up against him.

Uuuh, it wasn't a mistake. I thought it was pretty damn obvious that the only possible reason for killing the dog was because the dog would have been making a lot of noise. The sniper wasn't suppose to be there and being the "family dog", it would have been barking a lot.

hehe, well neither did Leon did. Leon had what, the NYPD after him. How about Bourne? He had the friggin CIA on his tail.
