“The real true legend here is Yuen Woo Ping…a man whose action choreography defines the post-Bruce Lee era of martial-arts cinema. Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Sammo Hung, among countless others, owe him their careers.”
– David Fear (Time Out New York)
“True Legend opens with one of the best action sequences I’ve ever seen.”
– Phillip French(The Observer)
