Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDolly Parton wrote and sang the song "I Will Always Love You". In an interview on the Graham Norton show, she said that when they asked to use the song for the movie, she sent it in and forgot about it. Then one day she was driving from her office to her house in Nashville when she heard Whitney Houston's version on the radio. She had to pull over to the side of the road in order to finish listening to it, because she was blown away by how beautifully the song was done, and by how beautifully Whitney Houston sang it.
- GoofsNominees for Best Actor & Best Actress Oscars traditionally sit in the first few rows for the ceremony. When Rachel is announced as Best Actress & stands, she is seated in about the 20th row. Following the camera in slow motion, Rachel proceeds to walk down the aisle, shaking hands with many rows of people congratulating her. This was obviously done for dramatic effect, as it gives the camera time to zero in on who is trying to shoot her.

Featured review
I just recently watched The Bodyguard again and i forgot how good it was.
Costner plays the role of the obsessed bodyguard perfectly and Houston's first feature film performance was flawless.
This story of an obsessed stalker terrorising a famous performer and the bodyguard trying to protect her at all costs, was made in a refreshing way, even to compete with todays movie standards
Mick Jackson's The Bodyguard is a great movie to watch over and over again even when you find out whodunnit .
