Martial Law: The Complete Collection | DVD (Visual Entertainment)
RELEASE DATE: September 30, 2016
On September 30, 2016, Visual Entertainment will be releasing Martial Law: The Complete Collection, which will include the entire series on 10 discs, plus two bonus crossover episodes and much more.
Martial Law is an American/Canadian crime drama that aired on CBS from 1998 to 2000. The title character, Sammo Law, portrayed by Hong Kong action legend Sammo Hung (The Bodyguard), was a Chinese law officer and martial arts expert who came to Los Angeles in search of a colleague and remains in the US.
The show was a surprise hit, making Hung the only East Asian headlining a prime-time network series in the United States. At the time, Hung was not fluent in English, and he reportedly recited some of his dialogue phonetically. In many scenes, Hung did not speak at all, making Martial Law perhaps the only US television series in history that featured so little dialogue from the lead character.
Martial Law also stars Kelly Hu (Cradle 2 the Grave), Arsenio Hall (Coming to America), Gretchen Egolf (Journeyman) with appearances by Tzi Ma (Rapid Fire), Sung Kang (Bullet to the Head), Elaine Lui (The Bride with White Hair), James Hong (The Perfect Weapon), Eugenia Yuan (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny), Mako (The Big Brawl), Byron Mann (The Corruptor), Billy Blanks (The Master), Mark Dacascos (Only the Brave), Loren Avedon (Raging Thunder), Shannon Lee (Enter the Eagles), Aki Aleong (Pound of Flesh), Johnny Nguyen (The Rebel), Roger Fan (Finishing the Game), Olivier Gruner (Nemesis), Simon Rhee (Furious), Ron Yuan (Revenge of the Green Dragons) and Steve Tartalia (Operation Condor).
The set will also include the following extras:
- Produced by Carlton Cuse (Lost, Nash Bridges, Bates Motel)
- Includes all 44 episodes plus two Bonus crossover episodes from Walker: Texas Ranger and Early Edition.
- Bonus audio commentary from creator Carlton Cuse on series premiere, Shanghai Express.
