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:

"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
Spoiler:
"fight his way out of a building w/ armed cops."


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

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.

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