Sammu Hung is one of the best stunt fight arrangers in the Chinese movie industry he did all of the Bruce Lee fight sequences he was Bruce Lees opponents in the opening sequence of Enter the Dragon and many other Chinese Kung Fu movies this man is a legend
I'm telling my age here but when I was a kid back in the late 70's early 80's, they use to put old Kung Fu movies on TV late at night. My four sisters and I use to stay up all night watching those movies. I remember being amazed at Sammo Hung before I knew he was Sammo Hung. Back then the stereotype of a heavy set person couldn't do anything but this man!! Even in Ip Man the man still got moves!
@@nvd2ceb4 I used to do the same stay up late and watch Kung fu movies that’s when I was first aware of Sammo Hung ,his name cropped up on the credits all the time ,then in Enter the Dragon ,he did the tv series Martial Law from 1998 to 2000 ,his career spans from 1961 to present day and has two films in the Pipeline one as action director the other as a character Mr Big in the other
He was also homage so to speak in a Sentai series. Gekiranger. Where he and several other martial arts masters names were puns to the animal masters. He helped those that were chubby, overweight or fat (that is not meant in a mean way as some people call themselves fat again not in a mean way) that you can still do marital arts and be cool
I like how Sammo becomes more daring throughout the series. In the first episode when he was being robbed at gunpoint, he didn’t dare attack them because “they had guns!”
This is Martial law! I haven't seen this show in a LONG time N I've seen every episode (I think) I remember this show AND Walker Texas Ranger. Oh the joy of growing up in the late 90's. Thank-you producers and creators.
its always the same in most martial arts movies , common streefolks and thugs always seems to know how to take a fall when they are grappled and thrown , that always surprises me , i mean take just an everyday bad guy and throw them after grapple them , and then make them fall to the ground , how many of these thugs KNOWS how to fall in martial arts , i would say none , but in MA movies they always knows the fall technique,,
1:10 The fact that they wrote "THIS SIDE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK" on the other side of the chalkboard and positioned it for when the board was rotated!!!🤣🤣🤣
I loved this series. In hte above fight scene. I amost didn't recognize her right away. She fights more like her brother Brandon than her father Bruce.
Well Bruce died while they were both very young so most it not all their martial arts training came from Dan Inosantio for both Brandon and Shannon so they would both fight very simalar to D.I. s style.
Yes, I was wondering why it didn't? I remembered the last part of the final episode whereby he and his nemesis (his ex senior Lee hei) fell from the flying helicopter they were fighting on before ending. @@marsbase3729
As a native generation Z born in Hong Kong, I am quite surprised that Sammo Hung had joined the production of American TV drama. Once I found his interview from 2001, he mentioned that he tried very hard speaking English before joining the cast. He also mentioned that he didn't bring the script in the rehearsal.
Ooohhh Yeah. Loved martial Law. The series should never have ended. Never got to see the whole series. Just bits when not working. The some producers don't know a good thing when they have it. Eg. Kung Fu. Green hornet. Those kicks sure pack some power.
He was also in a scene in Jackie Chan's version of "Around The World In 80 Days", along w/ Macy Gray, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rob Schneider, the Wilson brothers, Mark Addy, & Kathy Bates.
They don't make shows like this anymore, It was back then when TV was more escapist and action/ adventure oriented and didn't take themselves seriously. The '90s were a fun time for television and movies! These days TV shows are often pretentious and overly self-serious that its jaring and annoying at times.
Sammo Hung is the senior disciple of the school Jackie Chan studied at, so he's like Jackie's big brother! As a fight choreographer Sammo is up there with Yuen WoPing, and Sammo was the first fight mentor of Michelle Yeoh.
What is the guys name from the first scene. That gets beat up with an eraser. I know ive seen him in lots of other things nut cant rememberwhere. Is he angelo grotti in the office
You know I have heard about a youtuber named daetrix is making a show called the rise of the last dragon animated series based on the last dragon movie from 1985 its like a bruce lee movie but the story is different
That's how the Americans seem to be, despite so many Rambo, Commando, Marvel, etc. movies, where they always make themselves out to be the most powerful, who kill thousands by themselves, and that everyone else is bad, stupid, and ugly. These things happen. In reality, they have shown that they are just movies.
