The Bodyguard 2

Bodyguard without a body...
The Good Things
*Pretty good video quality; possibly better than the first "Bodyguard" DVD.
*Good audio. Includes both English and its original Thai. Also had Spanish subtitles.
*Inclues a 30-minute making-of featurette.
*Filming style is pretty good.
*Includes some very slick, exciting action scenes and some weird zany comedy. Has a couple of cool martial arts fight scenes. Some of the other action scenes are better than the first film.
*Characters are pretty good. Good acting.

The Bad Things
*Not for kids; contains violence, swearing, and nudity.
*Cover art is rather misleading. It looks like a stylish action flick, but is really a comedy.
*It doesn't seem to be as funny as the first film.

The Questionable Things
*Good grief, the main character's wife sure is annoying. Could be good, because it adds to the comedy and conflict. But, I found her annoying.
*Storyline is quite different. The main character...

Lots of action and differnt style of humor
I have very mixed feelings about this movie. The English appears dubbed but is in sink with action and lips. It is strange that the subtitles do not match what is said in English, sometimes way different and unrelated to the action. Action, acting and stunts are first class and never ending. It seems like someone dies or gets bashed every 20 seconds during the movie. So it definitely qualifies as an Adult video. Movie seems to contain more humor than violence and I personally wanted to take out his crazy wife which maybe the humor they added. Some T & A but don't remember any total nudes, just lots of legs. The lead/spy become a singer and makes good trying to gather information about their illegal activities and that to seem full of misfortunes and humor. Watch it and if you have the change, buy it.

Farcical Fun to Become a Cult Hit...
A fun "six-pack" Taiwanese movie with non-stop laughs, action, and stupid jokes that hit the mark. Watch early for the shooter with the eyebrows and later for Eminem waiting with Michael Jackson. The wit is very fast paced, the stunts are rapid and slapstick. The English lip-dub is right-on (correct me if I'm wrong about this being a lip-dubbed movie please). I laughed from the opening scene to the last. I didn't understand the credit roll humor as this was my first Taiwanese movie but I thoroughly enjoyed the 95 minutes devoted to this movie...
