True Legend (2010)
Directed by: Woo-ping Yuen
Written by: Chi-long To
This is a really sad movie about revenge, Su’s (Man Cheuk Chiu) son is kidnapped by his step brother Yuan, a very evil and dangerous fighter who has perfected the fighting style called Five Venom Fist. While Su is training to go and get his son back he meets two men, the God of Wushu(Jay Chou) and the Old Sage (Chia Hui Liu who also played 2 parts in Kill Bill). Both of these men are some sort of gods and he is the only one that can see them. After regaining his strength he goes in search of Yuan, Good versus Evil someone has to die. There is also some comic relief in this film with the help of the Old Sage and God of Wushu, some of the scenes are just so ridiculous it will make you laugh.
This is also very very very loosely based on a true story about the invention of the fighting style called Drunken Fist which is still practiced today. The story is great and cinematography is just beautiful. David Carradine makes a appearance which I thought was just awesome. Anyone who is a fan of movies such as Ip Man or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon will love this movie. The fighting scenes are over the top goodness and there is plenty of blood and limbs flying around. I really suggest watching this movie.
