Production
Jackie Chan was originally offered a role in the film. However, Chan turned down the role due to scheduling conflicts and his son Jaycee Chan's recent drug arrest.[2][4][5] Filming for The Bodyguard began in August 2014.[2] On 22 September, guest star Andy Lau filmed an action scene in Vladivostok, Russia where he portrays a thief who stole a bag of diamonds and flees by jumping from a building to the top of a car.[6][7] At the same day, director Sammo Hung also says that there are only ten days of scenes left that have yet to be filmed.[4]
