Martial Law (Tv Series)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Martial Law is a television series that ran from 1998 to 2000. It 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 America. At the time, though, Hung was not that 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 TV series ever which featured such little dialogue from the lead character.
