Rocco was not a hitman… he brought a six shooter to a room with nine guys in it. The McManus brothers on the other hand… they kicked nothing but ass. “You know what we need man? Some rope!” Mad props to Leon, the Professional. “I think it was something personal.” RIP Leon. Can’t argue with Vincent and Jules either… However, Jules quit because of a near miss and Vincent got killed with his own weapon. They’re cool characters but not very good hitmen. “We should having fucking shotguns.” ---

The Fiducci Brothers from _Oscar_. 😉 ---

> [@DWMarch](#): > > Rocco was not a hitman… he brought a six shooter to a room with nine guys in it. I never said he was a GOOD hitman, just my favorite. 🆒 Also, the cueball thing’s gotta get him some props. ---

Duke Togo aka **Golgo 13.**** The Professional **, which predates the Jean Reno movie of the same name, is better than** Queen Bee**. Duke is little more than a supporting character in the second. ---

> [@Scumpup](#): > > **The Professional** , which predates the Jean Reno movie of the same name, is better than **Queen Bee** Are you talking about this [The Professional](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082949/)? Cause Jean-Paul Belmondo plays a wicked great assasin in that, just too cool and very clever too. And the ending, when Ennio Morricone’s score kicks in… I almost cried. Definitely up there with Jean Reno, just more old school. ---

No, I mean this [The Professional.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086148/); and I meant it predates the Natalie Portman/Jean Reno movie. ---

Victor, the Cleaner, in **Point of No Return,** played by Harvey Keitel. Now, THAT’S a hitman! ---
