Sean and Billie are undercover cops and martial arts masters. Investigating the death of a cop, they uncover a deadly ring of murder and corruption at a glitzy nightclub where the rich are entertained by seductive women and protected by martial arts experts. Billie goes undercover to infiltrate the crime ring, leading to an explosive finale....There is nothing to like at all about this movie, we know what is going to happen the minute when Wincott starts his new job. If the captain is Billy Drago, than obviously the department is going to be corrupt!! And when we meet his friend at the beginning, we know he is going to wind up dead the way he acts when he see Dobbs.But i have a little place in my heart for films like this. Between 88'-92' the video shelf were rife with these. Some instant cheesy classics like this, others really not so good.The film has aged really badly, the clothes look like something from a Rick Astley video, and the hairstyles are in pony tail heaven.The fight scenes are typical from these sort of releases, they just get a little bit more tougher for the hero, just like a video game, until they face the final boss at the end.The two leads are what you expect, and if you have seen their other movies, you will get some enjoyment from this.this also includes the best opening credit music in a movie ever.Trashy but enjoyable.

There are plenty of low budget martial arts flicks in the world, many of which are total embarrassments. Thankfully, this is not one of them. Martial Law II has a plot that's simple enough to be believable but also has a few bits of creativity thrown in to make it distinguishable but not stupid. Furthermore, the actors do a good enough job with their roles to make the viewer suspend their disbelief and care about what's happening. And, of course, there's plenty of fighting throughout the movie to make it fun. It's not a great movie, but considering the limited amount of stories one can do with this genre of films, it's pretty unique and makes for an entertaining watch on a Saturday afternoon.

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!

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.
