Martial Law: Difference between revisions

Sammo Law, a top flight cop and hand to hand combat instructor from Shanghai, China comes to Los Angeles to search for a crime boss and a female undercover cop whom his department lost contact with. Once there, his temporary mission is turned into an ongoing exchange position and he is partnered with a pair of cops and is met with a clash in culture. As they battle the criminal elements of the city, his skill in martial arts proves to be a big help.

 

The show is largely inspired by the mid-90's [[Jackie Chan]] craze, and the fights scenes are in the same vein of being fast paced and "blink and miss it" actions. [[Sammo Hung]] is also a long time friend and frequent collaborator with Jackie.
