Martial Law (1998-2000)
#11
E4 A lame counterfeiting plot. They're all really bad cops. They always get into these absurd fights, often losing their guns for some dumb reason. They break into things without warrants. Sammo & Kelly can pick any lock in seconds. They torture suspects. Lots of stuff gets broke - glass windows, gates, furniture. The show is ruthless too. High body count. The hand-to-hand fights are still good tho. 

Kelly is subjugated to a random sideplot that has nothing to do with anything. 

There was also a snitch named Eugene. Eugene’s get such a bad rap.

It’s weird seeing the LA streets so empty.

The police combat instructor David Hasbro is funny. He's a reoccuring character, the first acting role by stuntman David Leitch. Yeah, that David Leitch.

E5 Vigilante cops. Yeah, the plots are already getting pretty cliche. 

The blonde bitchy cop sleeps around a lot, almost like a male role would. Too bad she’s not going to last.

Finale fight in a construction site. The villains all have tonfa-shaped pipes (vigilante cops). Sammo fights with a rebar staff and that’s cool. Sammo is so good. But it’s not all him. Some of the stunt crew takes some big falls. It’s degraded to just the fights already.

Funny nod at the end as Sammo drives past the Chinese Theater and Rush Hour is on the marquee.
Shadow boxing the apocalypse
