Editing Sammo Hung (section)

===1990s===

====Film====
After some relatively poor performances at the domestic box-office, Hung had a dispute with studio head, Raymond Chow. Hung had produced the thriller ''[[Into the Fire (1989 film)|Into the Fire]]'' (1989), but Hung felt Golden Harvest had withdrawn the film from cinemas too soon. The disagreement led to Hung parting company with Golden Harvest in 1991, after 21 years with the company.

Whilst continuing to produce films through his own company [[Bojon Films Company Ltd]], Hung failed to equal his early successes. His fortunes improved somewhat as the helmer of ''[[Mr. Nice Guy (1997 film)|Mr. Nice Guy]]'' (1997), a long-awaited reunion with Chan.

In 1994, Hung coordinated the fight sequences in [[Wong Kar-wai]]'s [[wuxia]] epic, ''[[Ashes of Time]]''.

====Television====
In 1998, US television network [[CBS]] began to broadcast ''[[Martial Law (TV series)|Martial Law]]'' (1998&ndash;2000) on Saturday nights, an action-drama built around Hung. The hour-long shows were a surprise success and installed Hung as the only East Asian headlining a prime time network series. The television series was executive produced and occasionally directed by [[Stanley Tong]], and co-starred [[Arsenio Hall]]. Hung reportedly recited some of his English dialogue phonetically.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}
