Plot
Legend is set in a nonspecific fantasy world where a powerful demon, the Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry), seeks to secure his eternal power by killing the last of a race of unicorns and marrying a fairy princess (Mia Sara). It is up to a young forest lad named Jack O' the Green (Tom Cruise) must get help from his elven friends to save the princess and defeat the demon. -
Legendary Obstacles
Though filmed in the famed Pinewood Studios, where many James Bond movies were filmed, the stages burned to the ground during the production of Legend. As a result, the producers had to finish filming on hastily-constructed sets. Then, during preliminary screenings test audiences reviewed the film poorly which led to a number of changes. The music, originally composed by Jerry Goldsmith, was replaced by music from Tangerine Dream, members of [[Yes (band, and Bryan Ferry. As well, the movie's length was cut from over two hours down to 99 minutes. -
