The old Green Hornet TV show was one of the most underrated ever. Theme song and music played by Al Hirt and his orchestra, and Kato, played by Bruce Lee, whuppin somebody's butt (actually several butts) every night.
And the dude who was really the Green Hornet was just some rich dude who had a cool car and could afford to pay Kato for his services.
It shoulda been good for oh, about four or five seasons IMO.
Recommended movie viewing: The Bruce Lee story.

And the 60’s show was an update on the radio show (part of the nostalgia wave then)— they’re featuring the original shows now on Sirius XM radio classics channel. Interesting to hear those.

Watched the original series back in the day and liked it. But the "campy" Batman was much better... for this then 9 year old.

Thank you! Another Hollywood debacle I can avoid. Man, I have saved so much money this year. The King’s Speech was great though.

Loaded with profanity, not a family movie.

I remember the old Green Hornet tv show from the sixties. The world was introduced to Kung Fu in the person of Kato played by Bruce Lee. It must have become very apparent to many viewers that Kato was quite a bit tougher than the Green Hornet.

But what a cool car!! Machine guns in the hood. Green lights that will light things only for the driver wearing special lenses. Car phone! Tape recorder! CCTV! Launchable drone!
This is the one car that can take on the Batmobile. (Chrysler vs. Mercury)

Reruns of the Green Hornet still play overseas - only it’s the Bruce Lee show. He has some white guy as a sidekick/cover.
Watched several episodes on the SyFy channel. Was struck as how lousy the cars handled. Pretty much a formula show.

Okay. Well, since Roger Ebert gave it one star, I'm going to believe that this review is closer to the truth.
