Martial Law (1990 Video)
6/10
"I'm your brother. I'm not Santa Claus!"
24 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
A martial art wielding cop gets involved with his wayward brother and also a villainous gang involved with car theft and gun running, helped by his girlfriend who also is a martial art wielding cop. The plot is predictable and our hero who is first seen in disguise as a pizza delivery guy unfortunately seems more credible as a pizza delivery guy than the top martial artist he is supposed to be. No disrespect to the actor meant but Chad McQueen isn't really convincing in his role.

Far more convincing in their roles are Cynthia Rothrock as policewoman Billie Blake, David Carradine as the evil Dalton Rhodes and cockney geezer Philip Tan as his assistant Wu Han. They give the film much needed punch. Tan's battle with Rothrock at the end is great. The titanic Professor Toru Tanaka also appears but exits much too soon.

There is a sequel with Cynthia but not Chad.
