Television Version of LEGEND Shot By Shot Breakdown


This shot-by-shot breakdown of Television Version of LEGEND contains only the two scenes different from those found in the American version of LEGEND.

I originally transcribed the American Version of LEGEND and this became the template for the other three shot-by-shot breakdowns I did. I have not gone back and corrected these documents. I present them here for really obsessive LEGEND fans like me. - Sean Murphy
