--------------------------------------------------
Chinese martial arts films have no lack of material to adapt, with folk heroes and legendary characters making that leap from history to film, with the latest being Ip Man, and we all know how well that turned out for Donnie Yen. In fact, I'd like to think True Legend provided the perfect opportunity for Vincent Zhao to shine, especially since his Su Chan does battle using a vast array of weapons (some real, some CG-ed), and his Beggar Su, well, executing his famous technique. From the get go the film is action packed almost all the way, battling it out on some amazingly created landscapes such as dark underground dungeons, a deep well, atop some mean looking mountainous statues, and in a gladiatorial arena.
As this version of the story goes, it's about the downfall of Su Chan and his transformation of Beggar Su. As one of the Imperial Guards, Su Chan gains favour with the Prince for his many successful exploits, the most recent being a rescue mission, but he has a higher calling in life, deciding to dedicate his life to his family, the opening of a martial arts school, and the seeking of a higher form of martial arts. However his sworn brother Yuan Lie (Andy On) decides to exact revenge because of the sins of their fathers, and soundly defeats Su Chan because of his mastery of a deadly black arts called the Five Venom Palm, which comes complete with an extreme creation of a hand-sewn armour into his body.
In any case, True Legend is actually two stories in one. The first story tells the portion of Su Chan's transformation to Beggar Chan, which is split into 3 acts, the first which is the obligatory background story, then followed by his recovery and training, ending off with revenge which provided a full load of action upon action. The second part however turned out to be a rehash of Fearless and whichever film that had been set in the Chinese era of the onslaught of foreign powers, and an arena is used to settle differences. The narrative though still came through as choppy with scenes that seemed a little out of place based on some questionably straightforward editing to splice scenes together, but the one that takes the cake happens to be the irritating edits to the more brutal scenes in the second half of the film. Fearless was rated NC16 and the fights, especially killing blows, were left intact. With a PG rating for this, expect plenty of little bits to be snipped off, which was really disturbing as edits were made every few bloody seconds, no thanks to Beggar Su having to settle a Royal Rumble type of battle. So you have now been warned.
