''The Bodyguard'' is a duology of action-comedy film [[CopiouslyCreditedCreator written, directed by, and starring]] Thai comedian Petchai Wongkomlao (who previously had a minor role in the first two ''Film/OngBak'' movies), as well as Creator/TonyJaa appearing in both films... at roughly four minutes each.
Wong Kom (Petchai) is the titular bodyguard and an all-round badass, but also a family man juggling his dual identity from his family. When he's out of a job due to his employer's assasination, Wong Kom had to clear his name while taking on legions and legions of enemy mooks.
The second film had Wong Kom, now inexplicably [[SuddenNameChange renamed]] Khamlao, as the leader of a Black op Counter-Terrorism Unit, going undercover as a country music singer. Realizing that his client's record label business turns out to be the front of a terrorist WMD production plant, Wong Kom must save the day again, but HilarityEnsues when Wong Kom's suspicious wife Keaw decides to tag along.
