The film follows the life of martial arts legend Beggar Su (Vincent Zhao), beginning as his half brother Yuan Lie turns against him and his family, killing his father and taking his son prisoner. Being unable to beat his enemy and his unstoppable ‘5 Venom Fist’ style sends Su into a great depression, and he turns to drink, living with his wife (Xun Zhou) in exile. Gradually, his passion for martial arts and his desire for revenge return, and he goes into training with the possibly imaginary God of Wushu (Jay Chou), honing his ‘Drunken Fist’ skills and preparing for the coming battle.

I was blown away by this. I felt like I had seen all the top martial arts flicks from Asia, but this was a rough rest. Just the opening breathtaking action scene had me on my ass and I knew this would fit the bill. The story rips off just about any cult action movie, but who cares when the visuals are colorful, the action scenes are amazing (good slow motion and solid choreography), and there’s almost constant, so there's no chance of boredom. The action also has well chosen locations, the main bad guy dipping his hands in poisonous snakes, scorpions to get more power was cool. I wasn't too keen on the philosophical wu xia aspect in the middle of the film, but that was beautifully made up for by the 15 minute finale against a bunch of gorillas, for which I have to go 5*. True Legend made me the happiest I've been in a long time. 85%.
