Just got a bootleg copy of The Green Hornet and it is BAD ASS!! Why does no one seem to know or talk about this show? I guess because nobody reruns it. It is made by the same people that made the Adam West Batman, and they even did a cross-over. But the Green Hornet is less campy and has more of a secret agent/film noir feel. Lots of gadgets, hip pads, moody lighting and tough hoods in suits and hats getting their asses kicked by Bruce Lee as Kato. The soundtrack is Flight of the Bumblebee played over a groovy 60s beat. I think that Quentin was paying homage to the Green Hornet in Kill Bill 1 with the masks and Bumble Bee theme song. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, go to eBay right now and get a bootleg copy of this show! I'm a big fan of the old Batman but think Green Hornet is even better! Can you tell I'm excited?!
