Title: Lousy fights doom The Bodyguard
Review: The Bodyguard stars Sonny Chiba as . . . Sonny Chiba. He wants to take down the drug trade and to that end offers to be the bodyguard to anyone who needs it. A woman shows up asking for his services but she is not forthcoming as to why. She does however have a lot of people after her as Sonny finds out. It eventually comes out that she was the mistress of a mob boss that was gunned down at the start of the movie and she still has his last shipment of drugs and wants to sell them for a half million dollars.The Bodyguard is dull and confusing. How being someone's bodyguard is going to bring down the drug trade is never explained. The worst sin for a martial arts film is the fights were lousy. Weird camera angles and quick edits made it so you never could tell what was going on. Whatever Sonny Chiba's skills are, they were not showcased in this movie.
