Jet Li stars as John, the titular bodyguard, one of the best from the Beijing military academy (as the title states) whose latest assignment is to guard the life of Michelle Leung (Christy Chung), the girlfriend of a wealthy Hong Kong businessman whom had witnessed a murder. After three prior witnesses have been killed, the Hong Kong police is entirely unavailable to send bodyguards reliable enough to protect Michelle, save for two bumbling rookies Charlie and Ken, and John is the best man for the job. Unfortunately, the syndicate who wants Michelle's life has sent Wong, a fellow ex-hitman who was trained in the same academy as John, and is close to as skillful as John is.
A corrupt businessman commits a murder and the only witness is the girlfriend of another businessman with close connections to the Chinese government, so a bodyguard from Beijing is dispatched to help two Hong Kong cops protect the witness.
A once-lost entry from my Jet Li collection, which turns out to be strongly middle-of-the-road in terms of his HK entries. Rather than just a few elements that signal she's falling for him, this one instead shows it as a full-on plot-point to the degree that it really begins to drag the film down as she contemplates telling him or not. This isn't detrimental but rather slightly problematic, as this still manages to deliver the goods as an action film with some outstanding scenes including a marvelous shootout in a crowded mall that's just all kinds of enjoyable, a brawl on the city streets that works well and the finale in the house with a series of clever, ingenious shoot-outs before segueing into one of Jet's better brawls with the main bad guy who provides a good enough match overall. This was pretty good and only slightly flawed.
Hong Kong martial arts superstar Jet Li Lien-jie leaves his pigtail, swords, and spears behind for this entertaining modern-day action picture, opting instead for a full head of hair and a seemingly never-ending arsenal of handguns. Li plays a stoic bodyguard from Mainland China who is sent to Hong Kong in order to protect the spoiled young wife (Love on Delivery's Chueng Lai Tai) of a wealthy businessman who, after witnessing a brutal murder by Triad gangsters, is constantly in danger from their vicious hitmen. As the film progresses, the initially rigid Lai Tai slowly starts to fall for Li, who has himself become the target of a personal vendetta when he makes the mistake of killing an unhinged ex-soldier's brother in the line of duty. Although the plot and title bear resemblance to a certain American Kevin Costner vehicle, Li makes an infinitely more convincing bodyguard, the romantic subplot between Jet and Lai Tai moves in unexpected directions, and director Corey (Fong Sai Yuk) Yuen Kwai keeps the pace fast (unlike the ridiculously overlong Costner picture) and provides a brauva action climax to boot. It ends up on a cleverly ambiguous note, leaving Li's character's fate more or less up to the audience. There is some unwanted comic relief with Li's two bumbling cop sidekicks, as well as some goofy sitcom-esque transition shots, but for the most part, Bodyguard Fom Beijing is lively, unpretentious fun.
Edit: Story behind this oddly specific request. Actually I watch anime a lot and I have seen a couple of bodyguard anime with the same plot i mentioned above. Yona of the Dawn is the name of one the anime. So from anime I switched to tv series and wanted to watch one with a similar plot.
Michelle Yeung is the girlfriend of a wealthy Hong Kong businessman who has witnessed a murder. Fearing for her life, the businessman hires a top ranking official from the Mainland to serve as her bodyguard. The man in question is Allan Hui, a skilled bodyguard who has both skills in marksmanship and martial arts. The Hong Kong police also get involved with the mild-mannered Po acting as a second bodyguard to her.
An eagle-eyed young woman in black never stood out of the earshot of renowned Chinese director Chen Kaige at the premiere of The Battle at Lake Changjin, which later became the world's highest-grossing film this year, on September 25 in Beijing. Her ponytail swung back and forth as she looked around watchfully. She was neither an actress in the film, nor an invited guest at the premiere. She was the director's bodyguard, Zhang Meili.
The 21-year-old's dedication to her job attracted widespread media attention. A story about her, like the film, went viral on social media with 180 million views. She has now been tagged by netizens as "China's most striking female bodyguard."

Allan Hui Ching-yeung (John Chang in American releases) is one their most promising members, known for his highly unorthedox methods, such as pointing a gun at a client's head. Although his methods are anti-trust building, his decisions are usually right.When a wealthy man's (Wai-Kwok Ng) girlfriend, Michelle Yeung (Christy Chung) becomes the only surviving (of three)witness of a mob murder, Allan (Jet Li) is hired to deal with the many attempts on her life. After isolating her completely in her penthouse with her young nephew and two Hong Kong policemen, Charlie Leung Kam-Po (Sergeant Lau in American releases) and Ken(Kent Cheng and Wing-Chung Leung), he has to deal with her anger at being sequestered.Meantime the mob boss becomes desperate to off this last witness to her murder before his upcoming court date. He hires a deadly Chinese assassin (Collin Chou) and calls in sick to postpone the court date. All the while Michelle goes berserk, as she is not allowed any freedoms, including going to the mall, with Allan being equally fed up at not being able to join the Chinese Premier's bodyguard detail in Southern China. Michelle eventually storms out of the estate. This turns ugly as the mall is crawling with mob assassins dressed as mall clerks, custodians, patrons, and police officers.After a massive shoot out inside the mall killing all would be assassins, they manage to get out to the car. However an assassin posing as a police officer comes to shoot her with a pistol in his jacket pocket. But before he can, Charlie stops him and is shot twice in his bulletproof vest. In response Allan fires several shots from the car killing the "officer."The plot gets ugly as the "police officer" turns out to be the assassin's younger brother, who helped save him from a bullet while they were both serving in the Chinese People's Liberation Army. He abducts the body from the police morgue killing three forensic experts with a tribladed bayonet. Burying the body and tossing paper money into the flames, he swears vengeance against the bodyguard.Meanwhile back at the penthouse, Michelle finally begins to understand her bodyguards care of her. After apologizing to Allan, she finds that she is falling for him and tries to seduce him.Finally, things come to a climax when the a group of assassins and the Vietnamese assassin storm the house. Fighting in the house, Allan holds the advantage of being familiar with the house's layout. He takes out most of the assaillants leaving only the assassin standing but not before they severely wound the two policemen.With no one left to stop them, the assassin and bodyguard engage in a long hand to hand fight trashing most of the house. During the mellee the boyfriend enters the house just as the assassin recovers his gun. Michelle breaks cover to hold up a stumbling Allan who had been bayoneted in the left lung.The assassin points the gun at all three of them asking her to choose who should die first. The boyfriend makes an offer for her life which the assassin refuses but then adds "Perhaps you could pay someone to take the bullet for her?". Allan steps forward as the assassin fires a shot at Michelle.The shot hits Allan in the chest causing him to fall back into Michelle's arms. "One more bullet then." The assassin says and fires again. Impossibly Michelle tries to shield Allan with her body only to have him struggle up pushing her away. The bullet hits him in the back spinning him around. As he spins toward the assassin, he uses the last of his strength to pull the bayonet from his chest and throw it into the assassin's neck. The scene ends with Michelle holding the convulsing Allan and crying inconsolably.With the danger over and the court concluded we see Michelle and her boyfriend driving to the Chinese/Hong Kong border. The boyfriend, James, was given a note by Allan stating that needs to be there for her. At the border they try to get Allan to stay in Hong Kong with them. However it is refused.With his wishes, two items were left for them in Hong Kong. The first was the trunk full of money paid by James to Allan which he wills to the police chief. In it is a note, that the money is for his son's education and that the chief shouldn't gamble anymore. Lastly there was a small box for Michelle. As is customary for Communism, the box had his watch which were usually swapped between persons as mementos of the person. Michelle remembers and cries 'Allan' as his car drives away from the border checkpoint back into China.Characters*Allan Hui Ching-yeung/John Chang - Trained Bodyguard Sent From Beijing To Protect
