At first glance, the True Legend trailer seems surprisingly good. It’s got slick action sequences, fast cuts and instills its viewers with the feeling that this is not a film they want to miss. It is not until we inspect it’s glossy finish a little further that we find the true deception within. For starters, the first words that the audience see’s on screen are “From the creators of Kill Bill, The Matrix and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”. This is only partly true. Yuen Woo-Ping, the film’s director, did do action choreography for all of the aforementioned films, and Bill Kong did produce Crouching Tiger, but that’s it! There is no other strand tying these films together! None of the more important above the line players of these films had anything to do with True Legend. There is no Tarantino, no Wachowskis, and no Ang Lee. Even the writer and producers are different! It kinda reminds me of when they used to call some kung fu imports a “Quentin Tarantino Film” even though he only really helped get international distribution. The advertisers are blatantly trying to play to the ignorance of the average movie-goer and it’s completely misleading.
