    The reason Frank fires at the unknown assailant in the woods with his eyes closed is so the bright muzzle flash from his gun doesn't ruin his night vision. He's aiming by the sound of the person running through the woods. If he had his eyes open when he shot, the muzzle flash would temporarily blind him, making it difficult to continue the pursuit.

      Wrong, tactical defensive training reminds you to always have training shooting with both eyes because in a dark fire fight, you will have to secure a "night eye" learned from pirates using an eye patch to lure the ones they were fighting under the deck to swop out the eye patch to have better vision in the dark. You're supposed to completely close one eye and heavily squint with the other, for 3-5 shots, opening your squint consecutively then give pause then switch eyes to continue shooting. In his case he didn't need to return fire for long and used his night eye, or unblinded eye, to continue pursuit

    Most people don’t realize this but the screenplay for this film was the very first screenplay that Lawrence Kasdan sold in Hollywood, back in 1977. He soon wrote another screenplay titled CONTINENTAL DIVIDE, which was soon sold to Universal and later made in 1981, starring John Belushi. Shortly after he sold that script to Universal at the recommendation of Steven Spielberg, he got a call from Spielberg, and shortly after that Spielberg introduced him to George Lucas, and the two of them hired him to write RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. After he’d delivered that screenplay to Lucas, Lucas hired him to rewrite the screenplay for STAR WARS, EPISODE V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, the first draft having been written by veteran writer Leigh Brackett, who sadly had just recently died.
    So Kasdan enjoyed seeing his writing work being produced in very short order, and was able to land his first writing-directing job on his neo-noir film BODY HEAT (1981), starring William Hurt and Kathleen Turner.
    Meanwhile, THE BODYGUARD, which had been written in 1975 and rejected 67 times before being purchased by Warner Brothers back in 1977, was languishing in “development hell,” rewritten multiple times, was read by Costner when he was making Kasdan’s 1985 Western SILVERADO, and Costner took a liking to it, wanting to produce it. It took several more years, but it wasn’t finally produced until 1992, and this was the result.

But I did find the acting mediocre at best and possibly part of that could have been the script itself. Never said nor did I ever mean that she was a terrible actress my feeling was she was always approximately average. Despite the how it happened I do believe The world has lost a huge talent which always makes me say to myself what could they have done if they had not passed away sort of like when we lost John Lennon from The Beatles I had the same flat great performer but what more could he have done

    I was in 7th grade (1985), and living on Maui with my family, when Whitney Houston hit the radio airwaves. Back then, radio was still big, and the weekend was marked with music, in Casey Kasem's Top 100! Good times & great memories. The 80's was a magical time to grow up!
    Whitney's version of the Star Spangled Banner, from the 1991 Super Bowl, still gives me chills & makes me tear up, and I've seen it at least 50 times. And I can honestly say, I still haven't heard anyone else sing it better than she did.
    Whitney, was an undeniable vocal talent, but she was also a talented actor. It's so sad, she couldn't overcome her pains & troubles. So grateful she shared her amazing talents, in the short time she was with us. RIP Whitney.♥️
    On an interesting & much lighter note, Whitney's mother is also a talented singer. Cissy Houston, sang back-up vocals for artists such as, Elvis Presley, and Aretha Franklin, among others. And Whitney's cousin, is Dionne Warwick. If you're not sure you've seen or heard of Dionne Warwick, check out Dionne's song, "That's What Friends Are For", (with Elton John, Stevie Wonder, & Gladys Knight). Beautiful, talented women, in that family for sure!

    "I Will Always Love You" is a song originally written and recorded in 1973 by singer Dolly Parton. Her country version of the song (heard in the film) was released as a single in 1974 and was written as a farewell to her partner and mentor Porter Wagoner, after she made the decision to pursue a solo career.Whitney Houston recorded a version of the song that includes a saxophone solo by Kirk Whalum (for the film) this version is the one most remembered by everyone.

    I remember watching this as a kid when it came on TV. I liked it so much that I had recorded it on my VCR (took up 2 tapes) and I'd always watch it when I was "sick" at home from school. It's one of those movies I watch every few years because it just aged so well (minus the lack of cellphones). I love the character development and the conflict. It feels like every time something is resolved there's some new dilemma that puts a strain on everyone's relationship. And let's all just appreciate how amazing Frank was at knocking Fletcher out of the boat right before it blew up and how insanely tense that night time cabin scene was and how awesome the shootout was. Love this movie. And as everyone else has already mentioned...Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston kept a friendship going long after this movie. He's the one who wanted her cast in the role and later claims that other actors could have played his part, but nobody else could have played her role. I like Kevin Costner, but I think I have to agree. Whitney was terrific in this even if she was a bit bratty at times.

    Other then a few movies about herself, she really wasn't in many movies. One I remember was called "The Preacher's Wife" . I don't remember much about it but I think a lot of people liked that movie.
