By this point Yuen Woo-Ping's True Legend should need no introduction.  A return to the director's chair after more than a decade long absence for the legendary fight choreographer, True Legend is a fusion of the old and new.  The story is based on a classic figure from martial arts folklore - Beggar Su - the cast a blend of classic stars - Gordon Liu and Michelle Yeoh - and new school - Jay Chou and MMA fighter Cung Le.  And, perhaps of the most interest, Yuen here fuses classic Hong Kong fight styles with 3D photography.  Yes, True Legend is a full-on 3D fight film. 

We ran the first proper trailer for this a week or so back and now we're proud to be the first to bring you a set of six impressive character teasers.  Each of these focuses on some different character in the picture - the first dedicated to Yuen himself, appropriately enough - and each showcasing some element of the 3D work.  There is some truly incredible stuff in these ... the tunnel jumping in the first one particularly impresses.  I can't figure out any way they could have gotten that shot other than actually doing it unassisted but I just don't see how that's physically possible.  Check them out below!

pretty nice teasers, but I think the first and last ones are the same (Jay Chou).

Nope, the first is the one with Yuen Woo Ping directing on set. Just double checked and it's embedded correctly ... may have served up wrong, though.

same here, i see the same trailer for first and last links.

Bizarre, they're displaying correctly for me.

No, Todd. First and last clips are the same. But then I suppose we're probably not missing much. The clips are just the footage from the trailer split into smaller doses.

nice filming. looks like an animated movie come to life.

Needs a better trailer. The worst trailer really ruined it tho, when Jay Chou's face appeared. The only good roles he can play are inanimate objects. He would make a great rock.
