Celebrity Bodyguard Rates 10 Bodyguard Scenes From Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider
Kenneth Bombace is the CEO of security firm Global Threat Solutions. Here, he reacts to 10 memorable bodyguard scenes from movies and TV and rates them based on their accuracy.
Bombace looks at private security details under attack in "Man on Fire" (2004) and "Bodyguard" (2018). He addresses scenes featuring pop stars at concerts and award shows, such as "Taken" (2008) and "The Bodyguard" (1992). He also discusses transporting and taking care of political clients, as seen in "The Hitman's Bodyguard" (2017) and "The West Wing" season three episodes 20 and 21 (2002), and billionaires like Tony Stark in "Iron Man 3" (2013).
How should bodyguards react when their principal tries to shake them off, as in "Arrow" (2020)? How much information about threats should the principal be aware of, like in "Close" (2019)? How should you deal with an inebriated celebrity client, as Malcom does in "Empire" (2015-)?
Bodyguards go through intense training to be ready to protect actors, singers, CEOs, and politicians. Security firm Global Threat Solutions has protected the likes of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and hosts trainings for new bodyguards trying to break into the field.

Celebrity Bodyguard Rates 10 Bodyguard Scenes From Movies And TV | How Real Is It?
My principal at school never had a bodyguard despite so many hostiles around him. Respect.
My (private) school had two securities at the door ever since a mass brawl of two classes with kids from the neighborhood... Before that, one had been stabbed (recovered) and several been assaulted and beaten, also it did happen that strangers entered the girls toilet and had to be escorted out... . Our principal was pretty much despised by everyone due to his incompetence and ignorance, but also annoying antics... He had no bodyguards either.
@@reivagner9523 I have no Instagram.
I stabbed a kid and there were no repercussions or security measures employed
@@tyresejeffers7857 schools seem to really cover up a lot... My school was no different, yet, I wouldn't brag about something like that, especially not with my name...

Does this guy answer alot of his own questions? Yes
Is your pick a Kendrick album cover?
No not yes... sure
Hahahahah I noticed that too.....
Did he die? No. Was it a fail? Yes 🤣
@@mikemarley3444 yes it is
The way he looks just screams "I'm a professional bodyguard" it's like he was made for the job
I know right?
Or the job made him that way.
He gives of the vibe he likes minerals, not rocks
I wonder if he’s ex Secret Service
...or is a Hollywood stereotype
“I’ll give them a 1 because I don’t like 0s” Class man 👏
at leat they've tried 😂
Bet he likes the zero lost clients statistic, mind. 😂
If he gives one because he doesn't want to give zero, doesn't that turn one into zero?
@@combatwombat2134 0 clienT
@@killer2403 no, clients. You wouldn't say in football that they've lost no match. You'd say they've lost no matches. You wouldn't say they've lost no race, you'd say they've lost no races.

And wouldn't we miss them if it was harder?
"The only clean-up crew you're gonna need is for your career" Ha ha, excellent!
To be honest, that's also what happened in the movie. His career definitely took a hit from that.
He went from protecting CEOs to protecting a paranoid scientists🤣🤣
And later in that film he was fired🤣👍
6:05-6:09 And not just for embarrassment, either. If someone can get a window of opportunity to smash a pie in someone's face, they can also pull off an assassination attempt.
Let's say it's a pie....with sulphuric acid!!! Principal no longer has a pretty face, and the agent no longer has a client.
@@youngrichie Exactly.
exactly what I was thinking, you have to be real close to someone to pie them in the face. there didn't even have to be anything in the pie, dude could've just stabbed bill gates at the same time while the security focuses on the pie. or just straight up stabbed him.
And some people deserve to be pied in the face, whether they're rich and self-important enough to have a bodyguard or not.
@@sergarlantyrell7847 Ser Garlan, pleasure to make your acquaintance. While I do agree, it reflects badly on the guards if they let that happen because of the implications. Take the Kingsguard, who I'm sure you know of. If they fail this badly, their king is likely to be dead given the setting.
Celebrity bodyguard's will always be on their best behavior. Because they do not want to be called into the principal's office.
Why does this have no comments😭this made me actually laugh out loud
In " Man on Fire", it wasn't a warning shot, it was in reference to the training they did for swimming(gunshot releases the swimmer from the pedestal), getting her to run.
Came here to say the same thing. "Never be afraid of the gunshot" it was her signal to immediately spring into action.
@@tedgovostis7351 "The gunshot holds no fear!"

Really? I really admired the presidential secret service one
One thing I was always fascinated by is personal protection in ancient/medieval times. I sometimes wonder how deep the planning for the protection of a roman senator or an English king went. Planned escape-paths, personal bodyguard, food-taster, guard dogs etc etc. Thinking about it ... a body-guard movie set in the renaissance or something could be quite interesting.
never thought of this but i like that idea
castles ussually had escape routes. and for traveling often they had like the highest esteemed guards. but escape routes maybe? or alternative routes to safer villages.
When political turmoil was at its apex in the Roman Republic senators would hire armed gangs of men to walk around with them and protect their house, sometimes even fighting with another senators armed gang
@@disguy67 yep. Reminds me of a job I did in Guadalajara late 1999 as a complete bystander. Every business leader had a hotline to his/her tribe of armed officials. Two folks get into a business dispute, one city block full of armed Federalies from different departments all puffed up and staring each other down with hands conspicuously placed on their weapons. Past a certain tipping point of social cohesion, human nature does not appear to change that much.
OOOOHHH , sounds like a good idea for a plot from the Brother Cadfael series from the BBC :D
They should've added the picture of Jason Momoa and his bodyguards.
They should've it's awesome he just towers over them.
You mean, he actually NEEDS bodyguards?
Khalasar doesn't need protection

You'd think a movie called The Hitman's Bodyguard would have at least one thing accurate
Well it is just a dumb comedy
Well, his career ended after the guy got assassinated, so they got that right.

Gotta give him props, this guy is the first person doing these types of videos that brought his own B-Roll for advertising their own company!
You gotta add em clips in there.
Advertising to an audience that will never have need of his services, yeah great advertisement
It's from a pre-made promotional video.
This guy took this so seriously, and although normally I think that's less fun, in this case it makes me feel like if I was a principal I would absolutely want this guy.
Absolutely! Wish I could afford him.
If I see "Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson" on a title card I don't go in expecting realism.
The dude you chose to review these (often laughable) movies was freakin’ awesome. He exuded professionalism and insider knowledge. Well done you. And I just gotta say, “Bodyguard,” the Netflix series, was excellent. If you haven’t watched it, do so.
That Glasgow accent was harsh af to understand
It was a bbc series
A class show
A shame that it had only one season
Body guard the BBC series, which netflix streams actually
Mr Bombace is a true professional. Great to work with, knowledgeable, experienced, and a good businessman.
Just doing bar security, I learned real quick on how to pick up on people with an unnatural focus on someone and stopped many fights from happening. Also, moving to an appropriate spot where I was watching them without it being obvious that I was watching them came pretty quick too. Granted this was only a bar that only held 225 people, but for only 2 or 3 of us, stopping stuff before it started was pretty important.
I love that he dressed the part to do the video. He was given a topic and dressed right and spoke very efficiently and clearly. He’s a great person for speaking on the matter. He set himself as someone who has done this for years and keeps it by how he acts and speaks.
Douglas Adams, 6'5", was a bodyguard for a while before he wrote "The Hitch-Hikers'Guide to the Galaxy"... hence his not-entirely flattering commentary about rock bands in "The Restaurant At The End of the Universe". And isn't that just the best name for a story ever? DA RIP. 😢❤️
I've generally lumped Bodyguards into two different categories: The Celebrity Bodyguard and the Professional Bodyguard. The Celebrity Bodyguard is usually chosen for Intimidation, mostly trained or semi-trained fighters and club bouncers, they're there to keep the lookyloos, papparazi, and wannabe tough guys from getting too close to the Client. The Professionals are the ones with Police and Military training, the ones watching faces, points of vulnerability, and escape routes. The Professionals tend to expect more pay for their services but you generally get what you pay for.
I'd rephrase it as "professional style" and "drug dealer style". Just from my experience...
@@josepetersen7112 i prefer the professional goon style bodyguard, they protect you at the same time they do shady stuff for you.
It depends on where they hired the guy and what their budget is. Plenty of celebrities hire their bodyguards from professional companies and those are almost always former law enforcement or military...

You joke but I'd watch that.

When I was in high school, I was a bus boy at a locally famous Italian restaurant. We had a regular, who would always sit at the same exact table every single time he came in. It was the table all the way in the back corner, with no windows or doors in the area, aside from an emergency door. The adjacent table was always occupied by the same two gentlemen, who we later found out were his bodyguards. Anyway, they'd always get waters, and something that was basically ready to eat (plain tortilla chips in a basket, basket of bread etc.) Anyway, we were always told that he was "a very important guest", and to make sure "he always had what he wanted." But they eventually informed us that he was a Mafia boss. Being younger, I didn't think I lived in a region that had a Mafia presence (always thought it was like NY and CHI)... looked it up after finding out, and boy was I wrong. Anyway, I can attest to them getting their own table etc., usually adjacent to the person. But they weren't nearly as obvious as they appear in the movies.
Sorry to ask but just out of curiosity ¿Where was this?
@@0101vegeta outside of New Orleans.
*To be fair with Man of fire, Denzel wasn't a bodyguard, so he hasn't the training or the behaviour of a bodyguard*
True
it was probably a late sequel to the prequals called the equalizer. LOL
Thank you. Wanted to comment this myself. He was a soldier and a trained killer. Disconnected from people. A major plot point of the film.
He was also a suicidal alcoholic lol.
Man On Fire* He also misinterpreted the “warning shot” scene. Which for anyone who has seen the film knows, was simulating a starter pistol. The guy may be an expert but he hasn’t seen the films lol
Back then when i was a simple security guard i took away the car Keys from a CEO of a really big international company and called him a taxi because he was completely wasted. While we waited for the taxi i got him a glass of water and sat him down and explained to him why i did it. Would be very bad PR if he gets caught driving drunk or even worse having an accident and hurting other people. Half a year later i was a security guard at an event (different Company cuz i quit my old Job) and he recognized me, came over and thanked me. Still makes me smile
For the first West Wing clip, the situation is a little different than private security. He is secret service and they have their own protocols like keeping their hands free at all times. So it was incredible realistic that he refused to help carry a bag.
There is a reason they have that protocol though. It works. It keeps the person they're designated to protect safe, which is the purpose of hiring them. Do you want me to keep you alive, or do you want me to carry your bags? Which one is more important?
+Will Whetzel, What's West Wing? Also is there East, North, South? If so please explain. It's not sarcastic, I'm genuinely curious.
That is true secret service does have that protocol. You can't protect your protectee if your hands are full. And I would assume the same rule would go with any body guard that is protecting a client that has a high risk for possible attack. And The West Wing is the shows from the clip he is talking about.
@@user-ir6xh2mx9d official office of US President, located on the west side of White House, hence the name West Wing.
@@daethe He makes a really good point though re putting their bag into the car, I mean if the bodyguard can put the celeb into the car & then put their bags in & be done, isn't that easier & safer than them having to secure the car while the celeb is out of it as they put their own bags in, & gives fans time to see them & approach while they do so?
I feel bad for this guy. He doesn't get to constantly ask "where are my snipers?" like the secret service agent did
Ill press F for him
I like that, how he acknowledges boundaries but also that people are human. A bodyguard shouldn't be totally robotic, there should of course be that professional detachment, but comforting a principal in that scenario is still acceptable.
I remember a "principle" was talking about his bodyguard detail. One of the bodyguards was in training. At one point, the more experienced guard asked the rookie, "That guy that just walked passed us, what shoes was he wearing?" The rookie answered, "red sneakers." The experienced guard later explained to the principle that if the guard-in-training couldn't answer the question, he wouldn't have been hired.
For a man who has to be tough, he's actually a nice guy not wanting to give 0's.
The most professional, courteous and polite person on earth, but he killed my beloved ARROW🤣 Sincerely, I would love to work for a man like this. Straight, short, precise and efficient. His communication skills are 100% complete and his facial expression is customer service awesome
Srsly, who in that movie-making process thought, at the end of the day that "Get the cleanup team in here now." was a good line to yell before the principal even hits the floor?
That film seems like a comedy so w/e
@@scrtwpnx That film *is* a comedy. You are correct.
The Bodyguard was a good movie. Rest in peace, Whitney.

I'm not a Celebrity Bodyguard, but I did stay in a Holliday Inn Express last night. So that should make me highly trained.
If you stayed in a "rent by the hour" motel and survived the night, then you'd be qualified. ;)
@@jedironin380 im qualified and i didnt even knew it...
Love the video...small note, in Man On Fire he wasn't firing a warning shot, he was triggering a 'GO' response in the little girl he was protecting. He had trained her to react to a training pistol during swimming lessons
Lol don’t shoot guns off into the air. Doesn’t matter what he trained the kid to do. Bullet could find its way into someone’s skull when it falls back down.
@@fromthebackseat4865 Starter pistol...no bullet
1:37 “warning shot?” I mean they could’ve at least made him watch the film. That was Denzel Washington‘s character simulating a starter pistol so the character knew to ‘go’ (run away), as they had practiced for her swimming races.
Well I thought it to mean that he shouldn't fire into the air first if he's going to fire at someone hostile. Just shoot at them. It's still a 'starter pistol' to the girl whether he shoots up in the air or at the attacker. He did also say "I get that it's a plot point but we don't do that" which seems fair at any rate.
That was more of a look at me shot too. He got their attention away from the girl.
Well, he got revenge in the end. All good
i think he was also firing his gun to create a panic so that there was lots of people running around which might make keeping an eye on the girl difficult
@@richardthomas3697 ...nope! It’s a very specific plot point. It’s not open to interpretation lol wtf?
I worked as an extra on "the marksman" and got to meet Liam Neesons driver/bodyguard. Nice guy, took the time to talk to everybody and had lots of stories about other VIP's he'd worked with. Clearly not someone you'd want to get in a fight with however. My guess is he was a retired SEAL.
How cool
In the defense of Mark Harmon's character, he's a Secret Service Agent, not a private bodyguard. Hence, he can probably state no carrying bags, since he's a cop (fed) assigned to protecting her.
I think the secret service agent who did a few of these episodes said something like this.
They shouldn’t be referred to as cops because they’re technically not. They are agents or operatives
@@fenderstratADHD Cop is a general term. But they're federal agents not operatives and yes they are law enforcement as they handle all counterfeit currency crimes in America and make arrests.
@@fenderstratADHD They act like national cops so I'm going to call them cops even if they're not in blue
Secret Service Agents used to be part of the Department Treasury just as Coast Guard used to be Department of Transportation now they are all undr Homeland Securiy.
Good point you made about how even reversing at speed is performance driving and very difficult. The slightest turn of the wheels is hugely exaggerated and it’s very easy to lose control, over correct in panic and subsequently crash. Hence why police car chases don’t tend to last long once the person being pursued is made to reverse.
If professionalism was a person:
10:01 so glad he said something about that. Seeing it happen was the equivalent of hearing nails on a chalkboard to me

@@jontessler9513 different terminology, same message.. that guy just said it.. hooah.
Yeah i hated seeing that in the film. I know it was a comedy, but UGH!!!!!
In a lot of these clips they show, they never really give the person reviewing context around the scene. I've seen it a lot in these videos... For example, he says he would never fire a warning shot in the air. But, if you've seen the movie, it wasn't a warning shot for the attackers. It's the little things.
That doesn't matter. You don't fire warning shots. Especially not if your gun isn't shooting blanks. Or else you're going to kill some grandma at her balcony.
@@Djorgal Calculated. She's a security risk.
He said, he knows it's part of the story, but it's bad anyways.
Yeah, you'd expect him to pay attention to the minor details
In 2010 a friend I was traveling with was shoved by Justin Bieber’s bodyguard at an airport. I wasn’t sitting next to him and saw the whole thing happen and couldn’t stop giggling about it. My friend is a tech and music nerd and noticed a kid sitting near him playing with an (at the time) advanced looking midi keyboard and laptop combo. So my buddy starts just watching this strange kid trying to figure out what product he has and where he could purchase such a neat looking toy. It was then that I noticed Bieber was traveling with his mom, brother, and a pretty large man who definitely wasn’t related. I could see the man eyeballing my poor friend as they called my section and I got on the plane. I was straight up laughing at my friend as he told me some big guy had just came up to him and asked him if he “liked little boys.” Poor guy had no idea who the kid was until I told him.
You can always tell a former military guy. Much respect, very professional demeanor 👍
wrong !!!!!!
In Man on Fire, he fired that 'warning shot' to get the principal off the X- she was trained by instinct to run at a shot from swimming off the block.
But wouldn't shooting a bad guy produce the same effect and add a tactical advantage? Shooting in the air was just for the audience to make the connection
@@carstontoedter1333 Also don't forget that the bullet shot in the air can hit someone
@@shinkishimoto7607 yeah if youre gonna fire a warning shot always shoot it to the ground
Thats actually a gun safety rule violation, since he has no idea where that bullet is going to end up, you have to know where your shot will go.
@@stuartjohnson5686 my dad once had an arresting exercise, where the instructor would tell them to place warning shots in the ground at a little distance from any person. not only for safety reasons, but so that you could find the bullet later and create evidence for your case in the court if necessary
The bodyguard (2018) one is actualy a police officer(in the serie) He is just assigned with the protection of here with a small team of police officers.
People watching this like: -in bed or couch -not in a full screen -reading comments

Uhh...

That wasn’t a warning shot. She’s a swimmer and reacts to the shot because she was standing frozen.
All the celebrity assassins will be pleased to know that there's no one with a weapon at award shows.
But he didn't specify if people checking you on the way in don't 😉
47 needs no weapon. Silent mode, suit only.
No one with a weapon, including the celebrity assassins.
The scene in Man on Fire is a callback to a scene where he's helping her get over being startled by the gunshot at the beginning of a race. It's not a warning shot, at least not one directed to the bad guys.
I can only imagine he doesnt enjoy military /bodyguard type movies with the amount that he knows 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe he does, if he takes them as comedy?
I remember the last time I saw a bodyguard in action and it was around last year when we were doing promotional stuffs for an actress in a movie theatre. The actress we were working with had a bunch of bodyguards with her. So when the actress wanted to take a leak one of the guards went in first to do a sweep of the restroom next to the vip room. Apparently there was a female moviegoer inside the cubicle and she didn't take too kindly of the big, tall man inside the girl's restroom. She stormed out and complained to our manager that her privacy and safety had been violated. Back then I never understood why our manager sided on the bodyguard but now I know- their priority one is always the principal. And although his presence might be uncomfortable, truth is, he is not only making the situation safer for his principal, but for the moviegoer too!
There’s an old military saying: “You don’t rise to the occasion. You fall to the level of your training.”
When he REALLY doesn't like something his voices gets louder showing annoyance but he still has a little smirk on his face. "THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM" for example lol.
This guy seems intense yet personable, I like him.
If he paid attention to the show, "The bodygyard" David budd is a PO (protection officer) that is a role in the British police. He literally puts on a police hat after he enters the building and shouts, "police! Everyone remain calm!"
'You wouldn't line up your vehicles like that' *Seconds later* Me: "Now I see why"
I wouldlt say taken was realistic, even more unrealistic is messing with him the second and 3rd time... in mean seriously, you didnt learn the first time around.. i think they are related to the person who killed john wicks dogs.. 'come on man...
The one from "bodyguard" (15:20) you said its the job of the police to get the attacker not the bodyguard, the bodyguard in this situation is UK firearms officer thats why he had a duty to find and stop the shooter once his principal was safe
Yeah, i guess he wasn't told he was police.
@Adam Noble The plot demanded it was him who would discover the identity of the sniper.
my guy be talking on the side of his face
:What's your body guards name Me: bombace. Badasss.
thanks for the update,Stay connected.
7:12 Hey, don't hate the forehead of security. He's trying his best to protect a guy in an 'iron' suit.
He didn't cover the type of client who DOES want their bodyguards to be obvious and looming, the sort of Client who has a need to be seen as important enough to have bodyguards. I'm sure that sort usually hires amateurs or semi-professionals, but I wonder what his take would be on how the pros deal with that sort of client, who want to flash their protection detail around like a Rolex watch?
He did show Donald Trump with his BG's before he became a presidential candidate...
We didn't have such a movie either
I once went out the door to an area overlooking a red carpet event in Hollywood and watched the stars walk the carpet for Meryl Streep's lifetime achievement event. After about ten minutes, security saw me were shocked that I had gained access to the area. They had neglected to guard a door. I didn't even know the event was going on. I was attending a conference at the hotel and just walked out the door. I was escorted back into the hotel. I also worked backstage for a performance of the Joffrey Ballet when Ron Reagan was performing. This Secret Service Agents were tightly wound. During the performance someone broke into the bus outside and stole some stuff.
6:00 Why did they close up on Bill Gates face like that while he gave an in depth explanation on embarrassment? Cackled so hard. 💀
If anybody is interested, I highly recommend the book “Remember The Time” by Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard who were Michael Jackson’s security team in his final years. Hands down my favourite book of all time. A lot of what this guy in the video is saying is reciprocal to the stories they tell. An incredible read, amazing page turner and very well written. Whether you’re a fan of MJ or not it’s a fascinating read.
“That’s a 1 I don’t like zeros” I would be honored to work on this man’s team. The career, It seems so meaningful, the thinking is logical and practical. Just breaking down every single movement, examining every single detail and thinking of every bad scenario, then planning all of it…it sounds fun. How there could be 1,000 different venues that all do the same thing, but not one of the missions will be the same.
19:25 Damn I totally didn't expect Arrow to be there but I'm glad he did!
This is useful and concise. Thank you.
Was that a warning shot from Denzel’s character or a “mental trigger” for the girl based on her swim practice?
The reason Creasy Bear (Denzel) fired the warning shot was to get Pita to act, i.e. run like hell. if you recall in the movie, he was training her to be a faster swimmer by reacting to the starter gun, which she was always just a second behind.
Thank you for this management and charisma masterclass!
It wasn't a warning shot, in the movie it was a way to get the girl out of her frozen state.
This man is an interesting individual, clearly highly experienced in multiple genres supportive of his profession! He has a professional, capable and calm demeanour which precisely suits his professional role.

Secret Service Veteran: You *always* keep your hands free! Those are your weapons! How are you going to fight to defend your protectee if you're carrying a bag or a person!?
EXACTLY. Private Security < highly trained Secret Service Agent. They think completely differently, and their priorities are, in many ways, completely different. Just a bad comparison on the guy's part.
I love this format. And now I love Security Guards even more.
What does security guards to do with it? Someone can be a legally recognized, licensed security guard after a two-day-course. Bodyguards take years of training.

This was interesting and he explained everything wonderfully if I ever get known where it's to the point I will need bodyguards I want him or ppl who work for him 💯 😌
In the, "Man on Fire" movie, he isn't firing a warning shot. He is firing to get his principle, the little girl, to start running. He is doing this because he has been helping her train for swimming meets that are started with a "starter pistol," which before they start practicing, she is afraid of and flinches at, instead of "exploding" off the blocks like the other swimmers. I like these kinds of videos, where the expert talks about the realism of movies, whatever that expert/professional is and the movies are about. However, its pretty important, IMO for the said expert to have actually watched the movies in question...... Otherwise, they sound like Mr. Bombace who is misinterpreting why Denzel is firing his weapon into the air (generally not something a professional would do in any event. At least I hope not: what comes up must come down after all and he is firing into the air in the middle of a city.) That said, in this case, I understand why Denzel's character did fire the shot and I approve of why he did so in this very specific situation...... However, Mr. Bombace's comment is not consistent with someone who had watched the movie (even if he had actually done so. If he did see the movie, why call what Denzel's character did, "a warning shot."). That said, I like the video and I otherwise think Mr. Bombace did a good job and I learned a lot. (I'm a grandmother and don't have a lot of protection professional experience. That said, I was with "The Teams" for a while and we are trained in protection. JK, ......) .
thank you for your service
@17:53 when he says "it's a weapons free environment" I chuckled a bit IYKYK
In “Bodyguard” he talks about the difference between private protection and police, but funnily enough in the UK, he is a PPO (private protection officer) which is a branch of the Police. Don’t know if it changes much but I generally assumed that show was extremely accurate.
You really shouldn’t assume anything that comes out of Hollywood to be accurate. Entertainment is the number one priority.
@@mikerodgers7535 It is, but I was also highly interested in law enforcement and the military while watching the show, and since it’s the BBC, it is their duty as a PSB to educate. So you kind of can assume it’s accurate to a pretty large extent.
As a HUGE fan of Noomi Rapace, I’m glad he gave “Close” a solid rating 👍 Also... Bodyguard was an amazing series. I HIGHLY recommend it.
I'm enjoying the way he talks: 'He was in a one person detail'
"The only clean-up team you're gonna need is for your career, because it's probably gonna be over if [your principal is assassinated]." Hey, let it never be said that professional bodyguards don't have a sense of humor!
I believe in man of fire he doesn’t fire the gun as a warning shot he fires it to get the girl to run away from the danger quickly, as during her swimming training he talks to her about the gunshot being fired to start the race and not hesitating nor fearing it
Looks like agent 47 is putting all that previous experience to good use
That wasn't a warning shot in Man on Fire. It was tied to teaching the girl how to dive off the starting block faster. He Creasy fired a shot, so the girl would immediately know something was wrong.
This reaction video was great! I could hear this guy for another 20 minutes, easy!
