Other mistake: When Leon enters the apartment building in the first shots he, needs to go up the stairwell in order to get to his apartment. But in the scene when Mathilda enters the building (after getting groceries while her parents got shot), she's right on the apartment floor without having to use the stairwell in the first place.

Directed by: Luc Besson
Starring: Gary Oldman, Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, Danny Aiello
Continuity mistake: After Leon rescues Mathilda from the SWAT team and dodges the snipers, he shoots out a ventilation fan to make an escape route. He gets off two shots before we see the vent, but when it does we see about 7 bullet holes around the vent. Then the camera goes back to Leon as he continues firing. When the camera switches back, the holes around the vent are different. (01:27:05)

Question: Near the half-hour mark, Gary Oldman pulls out a small box of green-and-yellow pills and takes one. What exactly is it?
