My Bodyguard (1980)
Directed by Tony Bill
Clifford Peache, an easygoing teenager, is finding less than easy to fit in at his new high school, where a tough-talking bully terrorizes his classmates and extorts their lunch money. Refusing to pay up, Clifford enlist the aid of an overgrown misfit whose mere presence intimidates students and teachers alike. But their "business relationship" soon turns personal as Clifford and the troubled loner forge a winning alliance against their intimidators - and a very special friendship with each other.

What critics compared My Bodyguard to
They’re faulted but decent, from posturing but whiny Jayne (Adam Baldwin – yes the guy from “My Bodyguard”) to talented but neurotic Wash (Alan Tudyk) to hard-edged but fair Zoe (Gina Torres) to loyal but self-conscious Kaylee (Jewel Staite).
Made in Sweden, this oddball teen love fable plays out like Twilight meets My Bodyguard as directed by Ingmar Bergman.
