***I would've mentioned "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner first, but I didn't like it. And if I hear Whitney belt out and butcher that @#&*%! song one more time...Well, that was one hell of a stinker... hard to be more ridiculous than this movie. Some chiche movies at least have something to attract your attention...
***Ugliest guy protecting the babe: Charles Bronson protecting Jill Ireland's First Lady.When it comes to this couple, I feel sad. She died way too early, and she was exceedingly beautiful. Not to everyone's taste, I know.
What was the name of that flick where she sends him a kiss and he shoots her right through the kissing lips? Well, almost. Still - what was it? Not quite a "protective male".
And I can't forget her with Anthony Perkins... I don't know about you, but both my wife and I had soft spots for her. And he sort of took on some of her charm. When she was gone he was a motherless child... still is.
***Hong Kong films have featured Jet Li and Jackie Chan several times in formulaic "protector" roles.Yeah, but too much bang-bang. I sort of love soft touch...
***Then there are all those secret agent films (James Bond didn't do too good a job protecting most of his lovers, as they ended up dead by film's end).
Just as well...
