What's the point in analyzing this film and describing its plot as if it is so intricate? True Legend is basically every martial arts film ever made, from Five Deadly Venoms to Drunken Master, all rolled up into a big budget, blockbuster kick-ass fest of fists and feet from beginning to end. The plot is thin and video-gamish, but who cares, there is enough baby powder puffing from heads getting struck by body parts and bodies plunging into and shattering pots of wine and even some off the wall fighting style that looks like break-dancing to satisfy even the most hard-core kung fu fans. This is a truly weird one in that just when you think it is over, when the big-boss is finished off, the story keeps going on out of nowhere with sort of a Charles Bronson in Hard Times street battle competition. Like Ong Bak this is a pleasure of an action film simply because it doesn't try to be anything else except an action film. There's a little bit of everything thrown in here and it's quite a gas.
