Tallington Modern by Letterhead Fonts appears to be a decent match for THE PROFESSIONAL:

LÉON is not the same typeface, however. House Gothic Condensed Black seems to work:

The movie came out in 1994. House Gothic has been around since 1993, but Tallington has a copyright date of 2005. If the title sequence is from the the original release of the film, it must share an original typeface source with Tallington....

amazing. thanks

Any suggestions for a specific weight from another family that would make decent substitute for Tallington Modern?

You can get close to Tallington by a manually emboldened/condensed http://ARB 66 Neon Stance JUN-37 (TheFontry, 2010).
The main differences will be |S| and the rounded corners of |E|F|
