Martial Law II: Undercover

This was a good movie.

The story is nothing new i.e. dirty cops, gang, team of cops taking the problem on.

The music was nice and reminded me of the 1980s action movies even though this movie was made in 1992.

The cast was decent and everyone did what they were supposed to. In these type of action flicks the acting is minimum and the music and action take over.

The fashion (needs a comment) was terrible' as it looked like something from the miid-1980s. Not even Chuck Norris action films from the 80s looked that old.

They could of turned this into a martial arts sequel. It's a shame they don't make movies this straight forward anymore.

Thankgod for Movies4Men channel on my sky!

This movie is a significant improvement over part 1 in almost every way. Actors are better and so is the cinematography by leaps and bounds.

The story actually has little sub-plots in it between Billie and Tiffany, and the places shot are much more posh than the first installment.

I liked this movie. Actions were much better too, but there could have been more. I wish the action were at the level of Hong Kong action movies. Cynthia Rothrock did better in HK movies, so they should have gone all out on this one as well.

Good movie for Cynthia Rothrock fans, that's actually worth your time watching.

the other person that reviewed this on IMDb must have seen a completely different movie than i did.everybody has their own opinion though.this stars two of my favorite martial arts actors.jeff wincott and cynthia rothrock.so you know there is going to be lots of good fight scenes in this movie.cynthia rothrock once again proves she is the queen of martial arts movies as she does some amazing kicks to the head in her many fight scenes.and just like he did in martial outlaw jeff wincott delivers some brutal kicks and punches to the villains.so my advice to anyone looking for a martial arts movie with lots of fighting in it should go buy this movie.

The plot is nothing new (police corruption, a crime syndicate that uses a night club as a front, a cop investigating the death of his partner, etc.) but the fight scenes range from good to very good (the best one might be an illegal 2-on-1 that doesn't involve any of the leads). Maybe they can't match up to the best that Hong Kong has to offer, but they are choreographed in a way that showcases the fighters' power, speed and technique. My two main disappointments with this film are: 1) as already reported by another reviewer, VERY short final fight between Cynthia Rothrock and the female bodyguard (what a bummer!), and 2) no arch-villain role for the master of such roles, Billy Drago (he's just a corrupted police chief). (**)

I can't claim that I was overly impressed with the 1990 predecessor titled "Martial Law", but I still opted to sit down and watch the 1991 sequel "Martial Law II: Undercover", as it was a movie that I had actually never watched before.

Writers Richard Brandes, Pierre David and Jiles Fitzgerald managed to put together a storyline that was a bit more enjoyable here in this sequel. Though it is still not top notch action entertainment. The movie does have that early 1990s cheese to it. But hey, if you enjoy that kind, then director Kurt Anderson does deliver something for you with "Martial Law II: Undercover".

"Martial Law II: Undercover" is a continuation with the characters Billie Blake (played by Cynthia Rothrock) and Det. Sean Thompson (played by Jeff Wincott in this movie), so that was a nice enough thing with the tie-in to the previous movie. "Martial Law II: Undercover" also have the likes of Billy Drago and Paul Johansson on the cast list, so there are some familiar faces here at least.

The acting performances in "Martial Law II: Undercover" were adequate, though you're obviously not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here.

The action and martial sequences in the movie were nice enough, taking into consideration the production and type of movie that "Martial Law II: Undercover" is.

My rating of "Martial Law II: Undercover" lands on a five out of ten stars.
