Trivia:

This documentary was produced in 2000, but not released on DVD until 2002. Originally, it was to be featured on a Collector's Edition DVD for Legend (1985), but an elaborate two-disc Ultimate Edition DVD was then put into production instead, and released two years later.

Movie Connections:

Features Legend (1985)

better than the actual film

This 51 minute documentary/ Retrospective on the movie "Legend" can be found as an extra on the second disc of the 2-disc DVD set of the aforementioned movie. The first half deals with the fruition of the idea and the making of the movie. It includes interviews with almost all the main participants of the feature. (Actor/Creepy Scientologist Tom Cruise is a no show) I had no clue that Robert Picardo was Meg Mucklebones. The second half is much more fascinating and deals with what want wrong with the movie. The main problem I have with this piece is not with the content, but rather in how it's presented on the DVD (note to the makers: Chapter Stops are your friends)

My Grade: B+
