And the poster was right. This was a Hong Kong/ Australian co-production designed to give Bruce Lee style stardom to Chinese leading man Jimmy Wang Yu, a kind of all punching,all kicking Chow Yun Fat of the 70′s. And very good he is too,although he is no Lee as a Hong Kong cop who travels to Sydney to bring to book a vicious Australian gang boss played by of all people,ex Bond George Lazenby. He too is effective and he gets involved in quite a bit of kung foolery himself until he meets a very grisly end with a grenade taped to his mouth whilst locked in a safe full of explosives. Ouch! If you ever fancied seeing a film where a young Sammo Hung fights like crazy on top of Ayers Rock against a sweating and overweight Australian cop then this is your dream movie.Later on he tells the same cop to “P**S OFF” in Chinese and gets his head pushed down a toilet. This never happens in “MARTIAL LAW”. Hung choreographed all the fight action and does a good job although the fights are so long you could leave the room,have a 3 course meal,return and the same fight would be going on. This is hardly a criticism though.This is a terrific action movie with a humdinger of a car chase,good music,hang-gliders and beautiful women.Best of all,unlike most of its ilk from that period,it was shot in the English language so no dubbing.
