Talk:The Bodyguard (1992 film)

message: Having first seen the movie overseas from the perspective of an international audience, I was very happy to watch a major movie featuring characters from different races loving each other and don't minding a bit about it. I thought that Hollywood has finally matured about that "controversy" in the American society. I think that this commentary doesn't represent a worldview, rather it displays an American view.

replies: text: One user keeps adding unverified information and flat out lies. He/she manipulates the sentences in order to make the critical reception seem more postive than it actually was. Also, The Bodyguard is NOT in the Top 100 highest grossing films anymore! This is getting very, very frustrating to keep editing revisions by someone who obviously isn't intelligent enough to know what vandalism is. BalticPat22Pat 04:32, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what your point is. The section showcases the critical reception as well as the commercial reception. That is in nearly every other movie article. To say that either critical or commercial reception is above the other, is irrelevant. The whole point of this discussion was to stop the blatant vandalism that inhibited a neutral POV from occuring. That was the basis of the topic. As of now, the POV is neutral. It shows the critical reception, commerical reception, and awards nominated. Whether they are positive or negative is beside the point. It simply showcases the film's influence between the public and the critics; which it should. BalticPat22Pat 18:58, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception POV 

message: "Madonna was considered for the role of Rachel. [...] he congratulated her concert, calling her show neat, Madonna made fun of his "neat" remark after he left. Costner undoubtedly saw this after the documentary's release."
"undoubtedly" is speculation unless Costner made a direct comment in response.  Quoting Madonna with "Anyone who says my show is neat has got to go." may be also more helpful in describing how Madonna "made fun of" him.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.162.122.6 (talk) 14:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The list of actors/actresses in this film should be amended since an incorrect sports star is listed who does not appear -- Herb White.
The part of the Bodyguard's father is instead played by Ralph Waite who is famously remembered as "Pa" on the CBS TV version of The_Waltons.

message: I'm not sure that we should bother with the random rumours of people allegedly going to star in the alleged remake. I removed  which was completely unsourced. Even if it can be soured I'm not convince it should be added. Currently we have Rihanna with a sourced (originally unsourced) interview where she says has no desire to star in it (she doesn't seem to indicate she was under serious consideration). Earlier we had Miley Cyrus and Hugh Jackman  but both denied they were involved. IMO unless any actors or actresses are actually confirmed to have been offered the role (even if they turned it down) or there's something else highly notable about rumours (fairly unlikely) they shouldn't be added. With the death of Whitney Houston perhaps WB will reconsider any alleged plans for a remake anyway. Nil Einne (talk) 16:33, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

message: As part of the family eulogies for Malcolm Fraser (op cit), his grand-daughter Rachel mentioned Fraser's particular liking for this film/cast:
"Ms Fraser recalled her grandfather's sometimes questionable taste in movies, noting his favourite film was The Bodyguard 'because of Whitney Houston. Every time I stayed with him he would ask granny and I (sic) if we wanted to watch it, as if we had never seen it before,' she said."

message: Originally cast for - Who is it?
Steve McQueen or Ryan O' Neal - see Steve McQueen - missed roles - last paragraph
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McQueen#Missed_roles
Kasdan wrote the film in the mid-1970s, originally as a vehicle for Ryan O'Neal and Diana Ross.[5] 
McQueen was offered the title role in The Bodyguard (with Diana Ross) when it was proposed in 1976, but the film did not reach production until years after McQueen's death  
According to Imdb McQueen proposed the idea for the drama film The Bodyguard (1992) in 1976. However, this was forgotten for 16 years until 1992, when Kevin Costner revived the idea
