Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Martial Law was the first U.S. primetime series starring an Asian male lead—two decades before Fresh Off the Boat. Sammo Hung was already a Hong Kong action legend who'd worked with Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao.
Kelly Hu was abruptly written out in season 2 because CBS wanted a 'more American' female lead—classic 1999 network thinking. The show was cancelled weeks later anyway.
