If you are among those that count themselves fans of the Chinese marital arts action genre, you probably know the name Yuen Woo-ping. Since 1978 he has been making action movies in China and Hong Kong beginning with Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow, andDrunken Master, two of Jackie Chan’s earliest films. Over the years, Yeun has worked with the best of Chinese martial arts cinema, as well as some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
Perhaps best known in America for his action choreography in the Matrix trilogy and both Kill Bill films, Yuen returns to his directorial roots for the first time since 1996 with True Legend (aka True Legend of Begger Su), a film that has some spectacular fight sequences. It also has some bizarre plot moments, and is essentially two movies that are only loosely related to each other and just happen to feature the same characters.
The film debuted in China in both 2D and 3D, and was sold as the first Chinese 3D film. It then went on to be considered one of the biggest commercial disappointments of the year, and hopes to recoup its losses stateside.
