Trivia
Cynthia Rothrock accidentally struck a performer in the groin with a baseball bat during the filming of a fight scene in Martial Law II. The man in question had opted to be in the scene despite not being a professional stuntman and the injury occurred when he failed to roll in the right direction, necessitating a hospital visit.

Goofs
When the coroner pulls the cover down on the body of Jimmy Kong to show the cops the mark on his chest, you can see the supposedly dead Kong breathing.

Alternate versions
The 1990 UK video was cut by 1 min 9 secs to heavily remove all footage of nunchakus and throwing stars. The 2002 Delta DVD release is fully uncut.

It beats Murphy's Law!

Here's a martial art film I say is a real keeper. "Martial Law" is fine, fast, and running and it's full of great action. Chad McQueen(Steve's son) plays a cop who teams with Cynthia Rothrock who also can kick some serious butt. I like it when she does that over the head kick that's really stealthy. David Carradine plays the sinister crime boss, Dalton Rhodes. It was amazing when he does that lethal palm strike to the heart of that huge guy. When done right, it can kill. Unfortunately, Sean's brother Micheal(Andy McCutcheon) fell the powerful impact of it when he was working for Rhodes. I liked the scene where Sean(McQueen) and Billie(Rothrock) took on the thugs, and Billie does the split and did some repeated groin punches on one the thugs. That's enough to make Johnny Cage jealous! I also like the confrontation fight between Sean and Dalton. It was great to see Dalton get a taste of his own blow. That blow is only good for defense, not for fun among friends. This movie is a lot of fun, and it's a keeper in my book! 3 out of 5 stars!
