Story never develops for Sonny Chiba film
The Bodyguard was based upon a Japanese manga series. This is the American version of the film that has some extra footage added to it.<br /><br />The movie has a famous opening with a quote from the Bible’s Ezekiel about “The path of the righteous man and defender is beset on all sides by the iniquity of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.” Movie lovers will know Quentin Tarantino used that same quote for Samuel L. Jackson’s character in Pulp Fiction.<br /><br />The story is about Sonny Chiba declaring that he is going to destroy all the drug gangs in Japan. As a sign of his seriousness he Karate chops the top off a soda bottle! He then says that anyone that has any information about the drug gangs should come forward and he would protect them as their bodyguard, hence the title. A young woman does so and the story then revolves around Chiba trying to figure out what exactly she knows. The movie tries to build tension with various murders and plotting by the bad guys, but it never really pans out. It just doesn’t have that much good writing to make the story that interesting.<br />C
