    Fantastic comedy by a brilliant and wonderful master
    Martial Law first entered my television set in 1998, it completely surpassed my expectations.

    Being a huge Sammo Hung fan already I thought, this cannot be as good as some of his films, I was right, it was a hell of alot better than some of his films.

    I have now watched every single episode, and am now watching the re-runs (second time round), and still love it as much now as I did when it first came onto my television.

    For Sammo Hung fans, this is a series not to be missed. For Martial Arts fans, this is a fantastic array of stunts, humour, tricks, tips and kick-ass.

    This series truly is a wonderful masterpiece, by a wonderful, talented, brilliant and artistic person, Mr Sammo Hung.

    I am just now hoping there will be a new series and a video/DVD release of the old series, it would be a shame if there were not.
