Re: CBS Sunday Morning Bruce Lee Tribute

Once again the 1966 Green Hornet TV series is portrayed as an example of Hollywood's perceived problems in casting. That is really unfortunate. They have looked at the glass and they see it half empty. In my humble opinion, the role of Kato in the 1966 TV series gave the character of Kato a lot more...

Re: Lame or Not?

................. Will a gas gun appeal to a new generation? Maybe a gas gun is underwhelming to some people. But what if the gas gun is changed to something that is unique and is more appealing visually? Personally I prefer replacing the gas gun with a Thompson machine gun (the gangster's machine ...

Re: Lame or Not?

Some of the ideas in the Hornet film and TV series were way ahead of their time. The TV series had a flying scanner that was actually a flying drone. Some people laughed at that but nobody is laughing now when you can buy your own flying drone. The idea of using gas that can harmlessly and instantan...

Re: GH Villains

I posted a comment about the Hornet recurring villains in another thread. Here is my old post. http://www.66batman.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=71504#p71504 Thanks for that link Striker. It hard sometimes to think about digging back through the archives. Oddly, I was not aware of the 3 recurring vill...

Re: New Green Hornet toys

I'd be surprised if this actually gets made, a lot of these announced projects die in development. But if it does, I'd look to the previous release to get an idea of what path they'd follow in terms of Merchandise. SCREEN RANT is predicting it will be a darker edgier version, since the director is ...

Re: GH Villains

I've been reading "The Green Hornet Casefiles" and in the Foreword, Ron Fortier discusses one of the things that makes the Green Hornet unique...the fact that Britt Reid has to be three people in one. The businessman that runs the Sentinel; the Hornet who fights crime that no one really g...

Regarding the new movie written by David Koepp and directed by Leigh Whannell. I sent David a note of encouragement and received this back: "Greg, thank you so much for this note! Leigh Whannell and I will endeavor to do our absolute best! To keep the spirit of the Hornet and Bruce Lee and all...

Re: Happy Anniversary '66 Green Hornet!

Fascinating character(s). I've always loved the family connection with the Lone Ranger, and wish more media would acknowledge the parallels between LR and GH. Excellent points. It is not only a story about a man in a mask. It is a story about the trials and travails of Britt Reid that should make t...

Re: Hornet new movie news

I just rewatch the 2011 GH film and it's just embarrassing what Rogen does to the Hornet. What's really puzzling is that it was approved by the Trendle family. You wouldn't think the family would have put up with that. Curious. I am recalling all this from articles that I read way back in 2010. The...

Re: I am NOT the Riddler!

...... I often wondered why he didn't have a gas grenade he could toss into the crook's lair, or launch from the Black Beauty to take out the bad guys. This 2018 Green Hornet Fan film employed the exact concept that you suggested. They took the old concept of the gas gun and modernized it. https://...

Re: Green Hornet 2.0 at WonderCon.

Got some more images from one of the photographers at the con. These were indoors, so had to wear the mask. There are two masks here. The bottom facial mask that covers the mouth and the nose is the original surgical mask depicted in some of the early Hornet pictures. The upper mask is the updated ...

Well, I don't know if this is the real story but it kept me entertained for several minutes: https://tinyurl.com/3ahx57n3 That is a good article and thanks for sharing.
