Info

Martial Law is an American/Canadian crime drama that aired on CBS from 1998 to 2000, and was created by Carlton Cuse. The title character, Sammo Law, portrayed by Sammo Hung, was a Chinese law officer and martial arts expert who came to Los Angeles in search of a colleague and remains in the US. The show was a surprise hit, making Hung the only East Asian headlining a prime-time network series in the United States. At the time, Hung was not fluent in English, and he reportedly recited some of his dialogue phonetically. In many scenes, Hung did not speak at all, making Martial Law perhaps the only US television series in history that featured so little dialogue from the lead character.

Martial Law Audience Reviews

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
amaratkd I'm sorry to say this but the fight in this show are boooooring. Sammo is no longer what he used to be. And There's a similar German TV series called Puma: Kämpfer mit Herz"(Puma: fighter with heart)that is much better. Thats because The Greatest martial-artist-actor-fight-choreographer-director: Donnie Yen directed the action sequence and fight.
marquis de cinema Sammo Hung is finally on the path to stardom after playing second fiddle to Jackie Chan for many years. I find it interesting that Sammo is the first Asian actor to lead a TV show some years after Bruce Lee was rejected for the lead role in Kung Fu. I believe that this show will help many people who unaware of who Sammo is to check out some of his top films. Kelly Hu does a terrific job as Grace. The show is entertaining and one of the best shows on television today. Not as good as Kojak, but then again there are not many police shows that were or are as excellent nor starring someone as cool as Telly Savalas. The best episodes were the one guest starring Mako. The only thing I like to see are guest appearences from some famous people.
wishkah7 When I saw Martial Law for the first time when it aired, I was immediately hooked! And I made it my Saturday night ritual! Sammo, Terrel, Grace, and Amy are all very provocative, coloful, and cool characters in their own way. I miss Louis, though. I'm also a big fan of Jackie Chan's movies, too. And the director of this show is the same who did those Jackie Chan movies! In this show, you not only have crimes being solved, you have comedy, cool karate moves, and most of all a fun show to watch! Even Arsenio Hall is learning some of those slick karate moves, himself, and I love his comedic antics! Sammo is awesome, Grace (Kelly Hu) would make a good role model for young girls who watch this, & she has cool moves like Sammo, and Amy too, and she's cool as the boss! Even though we're still left hanging from last season's cliffhanger, this show is getting better in every episode they make. I hope CBS renews it for a third season! Either way, it's still an awesome and spectacular show! If you haven't seen it yet, feel free to see this one!
Bash Sammo Hung and Arsenio Hall are like two best comic partners in crime-fighting. I like Sammo's moves. Arsenio needs to be even more talented in martial arts. Whenever Sammo and Arsenio are together, it becomes very thrilling. I've never seen a cop TV show like this one, the one who never ever gives up. Another thing! I also like that cute one who is in that show, she's Grace (Kelly Hu). I've also seen her talented moves too.
