The Green Hornet (TV series)
–
The Green Hornet is a television series on the ABC US television network that aired for the 1966–1967 TV season starring Van Williams as the Green Hornet/Britt Reid and Bruce Lee as Kato. The character had originated as the star of a series, and it had previously been adapted to movie serials, comic books. Owing in part to George W, beyond Kato, Britts dual identity is known only to his secretary Lenore Casey Case and District Attorney Frank P. Scanlon. Britts motive for fighting crime was explained on-screen, his father had died in prison after having been framed for a crime he did not commit, the series starred Van Williams as the Green Hornet and introduced martial artist Bruce Lee to American television audiences as his partner, Kato. Unlike the campy and humorous Batman series, The Green Hornet was played straight, though it was canceled after one season, Lee became a major star of martial arts movies. Lees popularity in Hong Kong, where he was raised, was such that the show was marketed there as The Kato Show. Though other characters in the story were all led to believe wrongly that the Green Hornet and Kato were villains, as on The Green Hornet, The Series, carmel acted out the shows real villain, who called himself Colonel Gumm. Michael Axford, the bodyguard turned reporter of the series, is now solely a police reporter for The Daily Sentinel. In this series, Reid owned a station as well. There were visual differences as well, promotional artwork for the radio program and the comic books of the day depicted the Hornet wearing a mask that covered all of his face below the eyes while Kato wore goggles. Here, both men wear masks that cover only the portions of their faces. These masks initially had a stylized angularity that soon proved problematic and they were soon replaced with masks molded to the performers faces. In a technological update, the Hornet carried a telescoping device called the Hornets Sting and he most frequently used it to open locked doors, although he was also seen using it to set things on fire and to threaten criminals to get information. In the episode The Secret of the Sally Bell, the Hornet used it to explode the thugs gun, causing the thug to fall and suffer a concussion and he also had a Hornet knockout gas gun. The television version Kato used green sleeve darts to give him an attack he could use to counter enemies both at a distance and in hand-to-hand combat. The impression Bruce Lee made at the time is demonstrated by Katos Revenge Featuring the Green Hornet, each episode begins with the following monologue, narrated by producer William Dozier, Another challenge for the Green Hornet, his aide Kato, and their rolling arsenal, the Black Beauty. On police records a wanted criminal, the Green Hornet is really Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel, his identity known only to his secretary. And now, to protect the rights and lives of decent citizens, years later, the Billy May music was featured in the 2003 film Kill Bill, Vol
