The Bodyguard
Directed by Mick Jackson
A former Secret Service agent grudgingly takes an assignment to protect a pop idol who's threatened by a crazed fan. At first, the safety-obsessed bodyguard and the self-indulgent diva totally clash. But before long, all that tension sparks fireworks of another sort, and the love-averse tough guy is torn between duty and romance. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →#1 two times with the same song. But, she's not done yet, Whitney Houston records the song for the Bodyguard movie in 1992. The Pop style, Whitney version goes on to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a whopping 14 weeks.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tarantino also didn't write it either. He took it from a Sonny Chiba movie, Bodyguard Kiba or The Bodyguard (1976).

positive · AI labelView post →Remember Kevin Costner waited an entire YEAR to film The Bodyguard because he wanted to wait for Whitney to finish her tour. He told the entire staff that he refused to use another actress.

After yesterday's news that Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80, I think a lot of people are coming out of the woodwork and claiming to be fans. I won't be one of them. I never cared much for her music — classic country just isn't my jam, and I can only be honest about music and what it means to me. That being said, even as one who is not religious, I don't think it's up for debate that Dolly Parton lived the life of a saint. I'm…

neutral · AI labelView post →1) Many "Pulp Fiction" fans are surprised to learn that Jules Winnfield's famous words are not a verbatim Bible verse. They're a blend of Ezekiel 25:17 and lines from a 1970s martial arts film called "The Bodyguard." 2) Did someone actually DO this?

neutral · AI labelView post →Making shit up and calling it scripture. “For ‘Pulp Fiction,’ Tarantino actually lifted the fake verse from 1973 Japanese martial arts movie ‘Bodyguard Kiba’ (including the erroneous attribution to Ezekiel), substituting ‘the Lord’ for ‘Chiba the Bodyguard.’”

neutral · AI labelView post →Cosmic Princess Kaguya! Is a nice twist on an old legend. You'd think it was a film Mamoru Hosoda would make. Robot Jox was influenced by @caseyexplosion.bsky.social. The sexism hasn't aged well, but it is still fun. The Bodyguard is late Sammo Hung, and I wish it was better. #LetterboxdFriday

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the most famous lines of dialogue is Jules’ Ezekiel 25:17 speech. It’s not actually a quote from the Bible. QT took it (not quite word-for-word) from a 1976 Japanese martial arts film starring Sonny Chiba called The Bodyguard. 41/67

neutral · AI labelView post →"Tarantino has explained that he borrowed the idea from a similar line in the Japanese film The Bodyguard (1973) aka Bodyguard Kiba (ボディガード牙) which used a fictionalized “Ezekiel 25:17” as a stylistic flourish. Tarantino then rewrote it into the now‑iconic “Bible verse” Jules recites in Pulp Fiction"
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm currently watching the movie The Bodyguard for the first time—Whitney Houston was so gorgeous, it's unreal.
positive · AI labelView post →It was a very wise decision on her end, and it benefited far more people than just her and-eventually Whitney (and those who were involved with the film The Bodyguard). She invested the proceeds of Whitney’s cover into Nashville’s Black community, where she knew it would be used well.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s so tragic how things went for Whitney Houston because between her music, the Super Bowl performance, this movie, and The Bodyguard, basically the whole world fell in love with her.

neutral · AI labelView post →The fun thing about this is that it's not even "Christian redemption." That's not a Bible quote, it's a fake Bible quote from the beginning of Sonny Chiba's Kung fu flick THE BODYGUARD. It's redemption at the hands of another film
neutral · AI labelView post →WAITING TO EXHALE. It’s a masterpiece. Whitney Houston alone is almost impossible to beat. The Bodyguard movie soundtrack is arguably the best soundtrack ever to be heard. • Boomerang. #2. 100% vibes/aura. • Soul Food. #3. bad movie, great soundtrack. • Space Jam has 4 anna possible.
