Interesting facts

Snake Eater III: His Law is a 1992 crime action film directed by George Erschbamer, starring Lorenzo Lamas, Minor Mustain, Tracey Cook and Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow. It is the third installment of the Snake Eater film series, after 1989's Snake Eater and 1991's Snake Eater II: The Drug Buster. Lamas, in his last series appearance, returns as Vietnam veteran Jack "Soldier" Kelly, who attempts to save a dropout student from sex trafficking biker gangs.

Production

Franchise owners Cinépix opened negotiations with Lamas for a third Snake Eater at the same time they exercised their option for the second film in late 1988. However, the actor had to wait much longer than he expected for it to get made, likely due to the judicial battle that delayed the release of the first sequel.

Snake Eater III originated as an adaptation of Rafferty's Rules, the first book in the Rafferty series of crime novels by Australian-based American author W. Glenn Duncan, whose rights had been acquired from Duncan's literary agency Curtis Brown. Duncan had no involvement after that, as he harbored no illusion of maintaining creative control against the film production machine, and saw the sale purely as a money play.

This was the feature debut of actress Tracey Cook, who went on to greater acclaim on television. Cook later remembered the picture as "pretty poorly done, but hey, it was fun", adding that although it featured her only on-screen nudity to date, "actually it was quite a respectable role, and I still don't have a problem with it".
