The Four Guards The Four Guards were featured in the movie " Labyrinth " . They stood guard in front of two doors . One of the doors would lead to the castle at the center of the Labyrinth , while the other door would lead to " Babababum certain death " . The bottom two guards were clueless as to which door leads where . The top two guards were the only ones who knew the answer . The Four Guards were given a set of rules about the information they held . Two of these rules , meant for the top two guards , were revealed in the film . Only one of the guards could be asked about the door . Supposedly one always tells the truth and the other always lies , though the pair naturally dissent about which is the honest one . Sarah tries to solve this situation by asking one of the guards a question to which both guards would give the same answer , namely if the other guard would say that the door she chose is the correct one . The answer is , " Yes " , so the other door is supposedly the correct one . If the guard is the honest one , he would truthfully say that the lying guard would tell her to go through the wrong door , and if the guard is the lying one , he would untruthfully say that the honest guard would tell her to go through the wrong door . Although Sarah ' s logic is correct , she falls into the oubliette after declaring the Labyrinth " a piece of cake " . In the real world , the challenge represented by the guards is called a problem . The novelization refers to these characters as Alph and Ralph and Jim and Tim , and the fabrication credits group the guards under Alph and Ralph . The guards were puppeteered by Steve Whitmire , Kevin Clash , Anthony Asbury , and Dave Goelz , with the voices of Anthony Jackson , Douglas Blackwell , David Shaughnessy , and Timothy Bateson . The Creature Shop fabrication team consisted of Cheryl Henson , Ricky Eyres , Rollie Krewson , Polly Smith , Bernard Kramer , and Geoff Paige .
