I Saw The Green Hornet TV Series When It Was A Currently Shown on TV Way Back in 1966-67, And It's Very True, The Green Hornet Should've Been A Regular TV Series A Lot Longer Than It Was.
This is great stuff. The first ever green hornet show I've ever watched in my life. What a nice story, succinct, 25 min of escapism. It is very telling of the 1960s, everyone is "proper", properly dressed, properly behaved . What a nice time the 60s must have been , at least in theory.
Always loved the two kicks from Kato at 23:18 to finish off those guys who tried to get up, then makes that little gesture with his hands as if to say, "No big deal".
I could really see that the relationship between Reid and Scanlon could get strained. I'm sure if there was a second season, that would have been on the cards for character exploration. Reid as Hornet, kept pushing the envelope, eventually a boundary would have been breached. Such a great show. It has a great tone to it.
Watching this episode, just realized the blonde is none other than Susan Flannery, who went on to win Daytime Emmys for her portrayal of matriarch Stephanie Forrester on the CBS soap "The Bold and the Beautiful", Van Williams was such a hottie back in the day and Bruce Lee, enough said..
I enjoyed all these shows when they first ran and still enjoy watching them. I don't know about others but I always could hardly wait till Kato started to kick some ass. Al Hirt's fingers were really flying doing the theme song.
sadly the ratings/viewerships werent there for them to continue the show... even batman after several seasons came to an end due to low ratings/viewers.
@@lloydkline6946 There is a 1966 Batman Movie made for the theater with Adam West and Burt Ward. There are two movies made of Green Hornet which are episodes edited together.
this probably is one of the best episodes, good plot the hornet figures out where the princess is be held captive, in inside the mansion. But I really love the scene where the hornet and kato take over the diplomats car at 9:38 , and that great billy may jazz music is playing in the scene as green hornet and kato kicks ass! beautiful!
Various comments about the series being too dark often is understandable. I feel the same. But my research reveals that the Green Hornet usually went out at night, as the night cover was needed being a notorious criminal to most people. So they filmed during the day with filters, also to show the black beauty's green headlights, so I guess they had a problem and that's how they solved it. I suspect it was one reason why the show wasn't renewed; too dark for the kids and adults to see. It's a shame when we can't always really see Bruce's realistic gung fu due to the dark, especially as he used a lot Wing Chun rapid punches and kicks, a style I studied myself, so I recognise it. Still, it's a great show despite this drawback. I love Bruce's last kicks in the final scene of this episode with the Prince looking on amusingly. A little look from Bruce to top it off.
The background music in the wine cellar sequence is the same played in "Bad bet on a 459-SILENT." And GH is a very capable fighter, a 4-to-1 proportion and he hold his own as long as he could.
Indeed! I`ve been binge watching the whole series and of yet the only two times the Hornet didn`t flat out got the better of someone was in two 4-1 scenes. This one here and another in the 13th ep in a private airport. Both have one thing in common too, they happened in a enclosed space. Outside of this he also got shot by that policeman in another ep. Kato was knocked down by a surprise shot in "Green Hornet and The Firefly" but outside of that he`s never been in danger either. Still need to see the rest but that`s quite the resume. Kickass show, great sound design and asthetics.
Compared to this show, Batman was more like a cartoon for 5-year olds. 🤣 The Green Hornet was just way too ahead of it’s time. - I’d bet if someone was to re-boot this series, it will be on for several seasons today. It Is the 1st show that I remember seeing a drone flying in the sky, but TGH called it a scanner.
Yes. I admire the producers for not going the campy Batman route with The Green Hornet. It didn't pay off as far as the ratings are concerned but it was a good decision.
Every episode have copyright claim, but as long as I don't monetize my channel, they can be kept here. Nowadays you can't even publish such videos though.
This was an outstanding well acted episode! I can only with the other comments below and question as to why this series was canceled after just one season? I only wish I could own one of these big cars today. Unfortunately I don’t have a large enough garage and today’s gas prices would bankrupt me! In the meantime I will continue to enjoy viewing other episodes. Thanks for posting!
I really wish that people that post regarding the Green Hornet would stop comparing it to Batman. It's like comparing apples to oranges, they are different shows. One isn't better than the other, although you may like one more than the other. GH is my second favorite show of all-time, I like everything about. I also enjoy Batman, especially the first season. I do think that due to the no nonsense way that the Green Hornet was played it has aged better than Batman. Van Williams was really good as Britt Reid and nothing needs to be said about Bruce Lee. It's all been said.
I love them both. The problem for people looking back at the Batman series is they likely don't understand that the show was a direct reflection of the comics of the time so the campiness was a direct result of that. Adam West could well have played a darker and grittier Batman but he played it the way it was written. GH never changed tone so it was written more like crime noir. To this day both series are iconic. If it hadn't been for Adam West and the phenomenal popularity of the series the comics may well have ended in the late 60's. For this reason he will always be the true Batman. Van Williams was a real life hero long after he hung up his fedora and mask as an auxiliary sheriff's deputy.
wish it wasn't so dark in all the fight scenes so you can see the action. Also I've noticed in all the episodes where the Green Hornet zooms around the corner in his black car, there's always that one guy on the sidewalk in a tan overcoat who looks back at them as they drive by. Same scene used in all the episodes.
too, bad the green hornet's show didn't for only one season,it was action pack,green hornet ,Kato, and black beauty car were off the chain!but unlike Batman's show it Boland,they didn't get knock by bad guy ,that us suspend, no romantic scene ,and stinger gun could be better.
okay, a silly question. britt breaks the window and helps janet flee at 21:35. why doesn’t he grab a cask and jump through it after her instead of taking on impossible odds by turning back to fight the bad guys? at 22:22, how come the guy who says, “now, mr. hornet, we’ll see who you _really_ are!” has no accent? it seems very unlikely that the consulate would hire some local hoodlums for guard duty! overall, this is one of the better episodes of the series i m o.
They purposely didn't give Bruce Lee that much screen time and it clearly hard to see him in action there not enough lighting, only for the green hornet but not kato
@@johncapunay7419 I waited decades for them to do a Green Hornet movie and Seth Rogen made sure it will be many more decades before they ever attempt one again. He totally ruined any chance of them creating a franchise. He took one of my favorite heroic duos and totally screwed them up. I can't stand the guy. He spit on the characters, especially The Green Hornet and didn't show the proper respect for the fans who wanted to see a good adaptation of the characters.
This show says a lot about publishers and prosecutors. One is far too willing to break the law and the other is far too willing to look the other way. LOL
Esse seriado é curto desde que lançaram o filme do besouro verde É uma pena que não teve 2 segunda temporada se não Bruce Lee estaria vivo ainda com carro beleza Negra.😉
This was the first time that chinese done right in the United States that Hong Kong had a big fan base with bruce lee that Raymond chow got a hold on bruce lee to let him do movies that got him to do enter the dragon movie
Green Hornet was actually better than the Batman show. At least in this one the crime they took on was more serious and nobody was magically brought back to life with a utility belt! After I saw this episode i once wrote a Mario story based on this episode. Give me a buzz of you want details.

Wish that the show could've lasted longer than a year.Every bit of the series was action packed.
Agreed! Should've lasted longer than Batman

The Green Hornet and Kato! It doesn't get better than that!
Great show
A good episode. Watching from European Union, Lithuania :)

It's very awesome to watch all the episodes without comercials. It is a very underrated TV show

Susan Flannery from the soaps! Wow she was young and gorgeous here!
Wow! Are we the only two people who know this, she was Stephanie Forrester from the CBS soap "The Bold and the Beautiful"
I love the way Kato looks back when they bopped out the room with the money. Like stay put or I'll open another can of wup ass on ya.

this is my best programs on TV 1967,1966
Bruce Lee Is The Best Thing That Ever Hit The TV Shows ! R.I.P. Bruce Lee Van Williams !
I enjoyed all these shows when they first ran and still enjoy watching them. I don't know about others but I always could hardly wait till Kato started to kick some ass. Al Hirt's fingers were really flying doing the theme song.
Yeah! This is one of the best episode I have ever watch. :)
oh Jesus!, how I miss this tv show!, the screenplay was very ingenious.....
I love when they used the Black Beauty to shoot out the rockets and lasers.
The Green Hornet T.V. Series.. A Classic..
I like how they are knocked out yet can still walk.
Love it when Kato wacks the two thugs and then waves good bye to the Prince.
It's such a shame that this classy series only lasted for 26 episodes: short sighted t.v executives.

@@Old-Boy_BEbop Yeah, but ... couldn't they have changed the time slot?
It really was a great tv show. Even better than batman 1966, I ❤ 1960s batman tv show, surprise they not make a .movie from it

Agreed, one of the best episodes... For the most part the episodes tend to get stronger as the season progressed.
Yeah, watching the heroes kidnap someone before helping them ... that's a plot twist I didn't see coming.
@@blunderbuss999 Ken Pettus wrote this episode. He wrote a third of the series and (in my humble opinion) wrote many of the series' best episodes.
This one and Preying Mantis are my favorite and I could watch this all day long. Well done writing wise and love action by Kato
I totally agree and loved this episode! WF-😎🤩😍😉✌️👌
15:58 you can see and Feel the Confident they radiant as they pass by the guards and out the gate.
Trouble of Prince Charming green hornet gave me lots of goosebumps
I think it is so funny how the DA has to have each step of the plan explained to him.
I missed the Green Hornet. Van Williams with Bruce Lee are the originals along with Black Beauty.
Love how Kato kicks ass!!!!!
So sweet watch Bruce before he became an icon.
It's amazing how the black beauty drive all over town and no one see it's or someone in the alley and don't see it come out of the house LOL

I hope the green hornet gets a movie and a TV series again. Also a 2 part episode with batman & robin
And the music between 15:45 and 17:45 is wonderful jazzy typical Billy May
A beautiful piece of music that was also used in the second part of Corpse of the Year.

In the wine cellar, bottles breaking but no one is wet nor purpled with wine.
Kato look back at the guards, like don't even go there, and in the end kicks them one more time just to say good bye

It's Stephanie Forrester from The Bold and The Beautiful.
Britt Reed's House Boy is named Kato and The Green Hornets side kick is named Kato yet no one can make the connection? Huh!
The public does not know the Hornet's sidekick as Kato. He's sometimes referred to as a chauffeur.
I never understood why no one could distinguish Clark Kent from Superman. IT'S A PAIR OF GLASSES.
I like the picture at the 2:45 mark! LOL

So much of the green hornet TV series was shot at night perhaps that was a problem for viewers.
If you look at the streets they are on, they are the same ones used in Batman
"Batman" was rather cheesy compared to the "Green Hornet". And they were produced by the same people!
