Bruce Lee and Mako. Two legends in one show.
And Dan Inosanto stunt doubling for Mako
I thought I saw Sammo Hung amongst them.
@@borgullet3376 I thought that's who it was. Saw the switch, and caught a glimpse of the stunt double's face.
LOL! I saw him and went "Mako!" Thought I was the only one who'd recognize Conan's sidekick. Silly me.
Mako = Uncle Iroh
This Classic series is BEGGING for a DVD RELEASE !!!
There's was a DVD release. Not sure if still available. Check Ebay
@@alexkoronec4326 To date, there has been no legitimate release.
DITTO 👍

I brought the whole first season on DVD.
As a kid when this aired , Kato was the reason to watch and this was before he was famous .
yes indeed
Bruce Lee as Kato could have kicked Burt Ward as Robbin's ass
It was the #1 reason to watch the show.
This Man is Your Hero, Your Leader, He Back Down Like a Woman. Damn That was Cold! R.I.P. Van Williams
Credit should also go to the great Japanese-American actor Mako for this and his many movie and TV roles, including his Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for the movie "The Sand Pebbles". Between his first appearance in 1959 to his last appearance in 2007 he complied over 160 movie and TV credits, playing both good guys and bad guys. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
Absolutely and no doubt! Mako was a great actor! I loved him as the shaman in Conan the Barbarian. 😀
The first time I saw the actor Mako was in the movie Conan the Destroyer. I had no idea he was acting far back before the Conan movie. It's great seeing him as his young self in this show
I just saw that Mako was on an episode of I Dream Of Jeanie and his character's name was Kato! ;-)
I cried when I heard Mako had died, he was one of my favourite actors.
Yes great actor, always believable
RIP VAN WILLIAMS THIS SHOW WAS A CULT CLASSIC!! THIS EAS MY FAVORITE EPISODE WITH MAKO!!
And Bruce Lee
Interesting. 🍵
My favorite also 😊
Mako was wonderful in the movie “Sand Pebbles”. RIP
RIP Mako.
14:55 Do you see how fast Bruce was? His movement from rest to ready stance was like the film skipped. Incredible natural quickness.
It wasn't natural quickness. He trained his tendons to have extra snap with isometrics.
@@saxon1177 Isometrics don't make you quicker. How you're wired determines how quick you are. Strength means you can do more with that quickness, is all.
@@harrymills2770 They made Bruce Lee quicker. They give your tendons more snap, in case you don't know. It's why I started doing them and they made me quicker as well.
@@saxon1177 I partially agree. Bruce trained for quickness for sure. However, I'd wager that the overwhelming majority of people could duplicate his regimen and would not be this fast. There is other evidence that points to above average innate quickness for him, but yes, he further improved his natural quickness.
@@qleap99 I didn't say he wasn't naturally quick, I said he wasn't that fast without the isometrics.
It's a shame Mako was never interviewed about this episode! I would've loved to hear what he had to say about it and Bruce Lee.
Mako was a great actor and was fantastic in this Green Hornet episode. He was an Academy Award nominee for the 1966 film The Sand Pebbles.
1:27 ah! Instantly recognized a young Mako!
Mako is great in his own right but please look closer to the main fight at the end it guru dan inosanto if you look closer even slow it down i noticed it the first time seeing it, dan does the roll and close up attack when KATO jabs him in the stomach then the camera goes back to Bruce allowing mako to fall down, great episode remember watching them in the 80s with my late father who introduced me to the legendary Bruce Lee in enter the dragon great upload my friend i have fury of the dragon the feature length green hornet movie combo of episodes ☘️🇮🇪☘️🐲🙏🐉#1940to1973 #brucelee #foreveryoung #jeetKuneDo

Gawd, this show was so much better than Batman in every way...
America wasn't ready for this in the late 60's. Sadly.
Mr. Dovas, I am in total accord with your statement. The Green Hornet was clearly on the cutting edge for 1966, and FAR AHEAD of its time--what spastic bigwig at ABC--TV said 'no' to this promising vigilante series? You figure it out!
😸😊❤🐝💜🐲🐲💙💛🐉🐉🇬🇧🇬🇧🐨🐨
You betcha it was!! 100% better than Batman back then!!!
I think some awards should be given:
Fastest Fingers in History - To the trumpet player on the theme song.
Biggest Gonads - To the script writer who got Bruce Lee to let someone stuff him into a trash can (4:42).
Techno Genius - To the guy who came up with The Green Hornet's magic boom stick. It melts a machine gun in one scene, blows the lid off a locked strong box in another, collapses and expands, and disarms and knocks people unconscious with a blow to the stomach. I want one of those!
We never got to see Lee's full impact. Like didn't really see his true medicine. As for me Bruce Lee saved my life; if I hadn't gotten into Kenpo Karate at twelve I probably would've ended up like any other hood in the streets of San Francisco...
I remember how the Green Hornet had a flying device that popped up out of the hood of his car and had a camera allowing him to follow bad guys from a distance. I thought "What a clever idea! How did they think of that?" Nowadays we all know these as drones.
The Hornet Scanner.
I like the theme song.
Yay makes ya wonder if half of our modern teck enspred by comic books
The Viper car also has it. It was even used to deliver a medical supply to help save a child.
@@jaceyneubauer6522yes a majority of the modern technology is inspired by science fiction,comic books etc
This is so far my favorite Green Hornet episode of all-time. Love the Kung Fu scenes with Kato.
I agree this should had got a Emmy on this show well done an d written as well as acted
yes the best of all time R.I.P. BRUCE LEE
this is my favorite Green Hornet episode!
I'm not taking sides between BATMAN or the GREEN HORNET they're both good, PS you've gotta stop saying this crapppy stuff about him being a criminal and that! He's a good guy, he...takes it from his grandfather John Reid...the Lone Ranger!
Be careful with what you say about the grandson, or else Do you know what happens when you corner?! You get stung!
PPS he poses as a criminal just to fight crime run, criminals run!
yes it was the best
This was without question the best episode of the series, largely because it centered on Bruce Lee and his kung fu. This was the closest the series came to a Bruce Lee martial arts movie. It was a shame that the producers of this show didn't enhance Lee's role. Had they done so, it could have become a major hit and lasted a lot longer than one season.
It was because of RACISM. They tried to keep Lee in the background much as possible.
Bruce Lee at his finest!!!!
This is very much like Knight Rider....
The very fact that we watch the shows for the "sidekicks" that they have (Kitt & Bruce Lee).... are actually the true heroes of the show.
Without them, there wouldn't be a show to watch.
@@waltersimmons946 unfortunately you are right. America was terrified of minorities in the 60’s. Lol. Lee should plainly have been the star of the show. I remember seeing the episode where Batman and Robin fought The Green Hornet and Kato and thinking to myself “Bruce Lee is the only one of these men who can actually fight.” Lol. He could have taken the rest down without breaking a sweat.
@alienlife7754 Very true. Van Williams said Bruce was the true star of the show. Ironically, Van Williams didn't care about acting and was paid $1,000 per episode. Lee, who was the "co-star got paid only $450 dollars per episode, and his take-home pay was $313 after taxes.
This brings me right back to my living room in Chicago, sitting cross-legged watching our console TV with this show on.
I was probably six years old. I remember asking for a Kato hat for Christmas. Never got the mask, though. Loved this show.
This episode moved Bruce Lee into legend. :)
Bruce Lee, a true legend
Thank you so much for this iconic episode.I started training in GojuRyu karate in 1965.A year later,this show hit tge airwaves.I continued with karate for 7 years,then moved on to several styles if gung fu (kung fu).
I trained for a total of 50+years. It wasnt just the martial arts to me.It was a way of life. And this episode was my favirite in the Green Hornet series.
My brothers and I used to love ❤️ this show, back in the day!! Batman was a joke compared to the Green Hornet. The Hornet was seriously good! I was in love with Williams! Loved him in his Hornet clothes!! Classy! My younger brothers watched because of Kato fighting, and that CAR!
You had Hornet fever, a buzz buzz!
Who didn't love that car, better than the Batmobile. I so want Black Beauty, it's such a gorgeous car
This has to be my favorite episode. This has to be the best Kato fight scene in the series. I sure wish this show had gone past the 1st season. Unfortunately, it was up against the Wild Wild West on Friday night.
@@jrousselle7828 I watched both. Robert Conrad was a Shotokan black belt and it shows. I also watched T.H.E. Cat the same season. I liked all their fight scenes and plot better than Batman. The Batman fight scenes were comical. I was 14 years old at the time.
Green Hornet was a class act back in the day for a crime fighter with style much better than Bat Man wish they could remake the Green Hornet to this class an nothing corny or mess it up love the show
I love that part after the big fight where the Green Hornet just points to the blood on Kato's head and Kato shrugs. They had just great chemistry.
He sure was right about what he said this man is your leader there will never be another Bruce Lee. However I watched the show for Van Williams
@@natvan29 Sure, Van Williams was great.
I think too 👍
@@jackjaws004 - that's not the reason she watched Williams, yes, he was great as the G Hornet, but the dude was tall and good looking, a stud like they were called back then. That's the reason she watched the show.😀
@@tubucoco Yeah. Williams had the star appearance but lacked the charisma to lead this series. Lee on the other hand had not only good looks but the star charisma to make this show a hit. Had they concentrated on him more like they did in this episode, the show would have lasted longer than one season. But Asians, like other minorities, were only restricted to subservient roles to whites in Hollywood. Shame.
Absolutely a series way before it's time. A serious-minded crime fighter TV series was doomed from the start in the 60"s. Today, in the era of the anti-hero, it would be a huge hit.
With all the superhero stuff flooding the market you would think this is a sure fire hit if done right.
Definitely --- I can remember the other superhero TV shows in the 60's like Batman and Spiderman being very campy
I see Green Hornet as great for a streaming series and do it dark, gritty, and more realistic like Netflix Daredevil.
❤️ grreen hornet old tv shot; shouldn"t let tv show series after one season"; shouldve been a big seen movie
In the 60s, America wasn't ready to see Asian heroes on mainstream TV, but it transitioned slowly in the 70s with the gaining popularity of the martial arts. TV shows like Kung Fu (even though the lead was Caucasian aka David Carradine) and Longstreet with James Franciscus ... starring Bruce Lee as the instructor introducing his art, in which the show's title was called Way of the Intercepting Fist (aka Jeet June Do)
Absolutely an historic moment in film and in the cinematic life of Bruce Lee.
They are both so good, I like how they are sympathetic to the Chinese community and Kato is respected as a friend and equal, Great team!
It's weird to watch something 60yrs LATER!!! I was 9 yrs old back in 1966 . Well I'll be 65 in two wks. 5/15/1957 . I been through so much, I never thought I'd live this long.
And still feel healthy as (HELL)
THANKS TO GOD " ALMIGHTY" !!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😎✌🇮🇹🇺🇸🕺💃🏃🤔✊✌👍🏋🥋
Great series…love Al Hirt’s trumpet playing too…AWESOME!!!
BRUCE LEE ....was so fast on the set....they made him slow his movements down so that the audience could see his technics....JUST AMAZING !
yes. he could have really hurt that guy
yes he was amazing
Only non martial artists and those unfamiliar couldnt see his movements. The myth that he moved so fast they couldnt catch it on camera is just that, a myth.
Not true, they just played the movie back at 1/500 of the original speed. They could not slow it down further because of the existing technology at the time
Bruce Lee was so quick that they had to increase the camera speed from 24 frames per second to 36 frames per second to get all of the movement!!
I actually saw this episode before,in a GREEN HORNET marathon on
DECADES-TV,which ran all the episodes from their first & only season,
from 1966-67! This show showed a young Bruce Lee,kicking some
serious ass,as Kato,the man-servant! Awesome show & awesome episode!
I wasn't around for this show. But man am I glad it's on here so I can experience it now.
Man, what an elegant show. This should have lasted for several more seasons.
I would come home from High School and watch GH religiously. I even began to TRAIN according to every MOVE he made. I found a good martial-arts school--Kaji-Kenpo. The instructor, remarkably, had similar techniques. Mr. Lee truly inspired a LOT of us.
MY FRIENDS FATHER WAS A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF ADRIANO EMPERADO. THE FOUNDER OF KAJI KEMPO!@
I too was inspired to study Martial Art ,thank you sifu🙏
Me too ... I can relate! 🇵🇭🇺🇲🏝️
@@gordonames1892 Adriano Emperado was the main founder of Kajukenbo, along with Peter Y. Choo, Joe Holck, Frank Ordonez and Clarence Chang. The main school began in Hawaii around 1947.
@@naptus YOU ARE CORRECT. MY FRIENDS FATHER, PROFESSOR KAWAKAMI WAS A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF SENSI EMPERADO. HE WAS THERE FOR HIM WHEN SENSI EMPERADO HAD SOME SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS. HE WAS THERE FOR HIM WHEN OTHERS HAD ABANDONED HIM. PROFESSOR KAWAKAMI IS LISTED ON THE FAMILY TREE OF KAJI-KEMPO. I'VE MET SENSI EMPERADO.

Never forgot this episode. The fight was one like I'd never seen. thanks for downloading. Subscribed.
Mr.Reid,the GH.Related to John Reid ,the Lone Ranger
This is my favorite episode of "The Green Hornet" TV series, simply because of the fact that it showcased Bruce Lee's character Kato more fully.
Loved the fight scene between Kato and Mako's character of Low Sing.
If only "The Green Hornet" would've lasted at least two more seasons, I would've loved to have seen more episodes like this that utilized Kato more.
You are so right!👊🏽
Be thankful the Green Hornet was cancelled. It probably would have become campy like Batman.
@@srb9 The movie took care of the campiness.
@@victorcowboywest which one? If you are talking about the pos that SONY made there is no need to mention that.
Remember, the series was filmed during the 1960s and Hollywood wasn't too keen on foreign actors, especially Asians. Plus, martial arts were still new to Western world. That's why a lot of Western martial artists, like Rothrock, went to Asia to be in movies because the studios didn't think those type of movies will do well in the West.
Best episode showcasing Bruce Lee's talent and Mako's talent.
Good to see that they give Bruce Lee more dialog and personality as the series progressed. He was no longer just the silent brute of the first episodes.
Someday, somebody is gonna do a documentary that may lift the innumerable amount of talent wasted in moving picture industry [and the etcetera's].
Many thank you's for sharing this THE FINEST ACTION SCENE OF ITS KIND EVER.
Best Episode of the Green Hornet Ever.
I love the nostalgic feel to these old 60s tv shows.As tacky as they appear today,the put a hell of a lot more work and effort into tv shows and movies back then.👍👍
this is why I wish the episodes were an hour long. Or 2 half hour episodes like Batman. We definitely need to see more Bruce Lee fight scenes.
why not just a whole episode Bruce Lee kicking ass and Van Williams pouring coffee.
The producers wanted an hour slot and made 3 hour long episodes to show ABC that it would work but the network just didn’t have an hour long time slot at the time to fit it into.
Those 3 hour episodes are here on RUclips.
What a crime. Prejudice is a terrible thing--comes in many COLORS! TV and Hollywood REALLY screwed up by not FILMING this young man a WHOLE LOT MORE!! We missed so much, but we have enough to SEE how unique Lee WAS!
Prejudice really didn't have much to do with it. Bruce had a number of powerful white friends in Hollywood who were helping him. Kato was a sidekick and was meant to be mysterious and stay in the background, not because he was Asian but because that was the role.
@@gerrydooley951 Exactly this 100%.
Damm I remember watching this back in the day. How I miss those days. It’s 2023 who else remembers I know you’re out there
So the Japanese guy is played by a Chinese guy, a Chinese guy is played by a Japanese guy. I'm willing to bet the Italian mob boss is really an Irish cop.
14:55 how unreal how fast Bruce Lee was! The camera only caught Bruce from point A to point B.
That martial arts scene at the temple in the end of this episode, was too good for 1960's television! It was action that was more advanced than anything TV audiences had ever experienced before. That scene paved the way for Bruce Lee's classic theatrical films, like "Fists of Fury", "The Chinese Connection", and "Enter the Dragon"!
I agree!
One of the best episodes. Tightly written, well edited and it doesn't let up for a minute. Thanks for the upload.
Van's acting made this show great: he doesn't get enough credit. He made the Hornet real!
But it was Bruce Lee's amazing martial art ability that made it exciting to watch.
You are correct. Back in the 1970s as a kid I went out one Halloween as the Green Hornet. I bought an official Green Hornet hat and mask and wore a long jacket like him. I even had a Green Hornet metal lunchbox. I read before, and I think it was in one of my Bruce Lee books that Van was the only person that Bruce met that he could not beat in arm wrestling, and it supposedly made him mad. Van had been a rodeo rider and had strong forearms.
Van was an experienced actor. He had been the star of the Surfside Six series which came out in 1959.
In Asian countries at the time it was called the "Kato Show".
Van really wasn’t too keen on doing the show. He was terrified he would be typecast. With ABC slotting the show on Friday nights the night with the least viewership meant the show struggled to survive and was ultimately cancelled only after one season.
Missed the guys!! RIP to you both Van and Bruce two class acts that where ever put on the small screen. Always dressed to thrill.
And Mako Iwamatsu.
@@lisettegarcia7013 And everyone else.
This show SHOULD be on DVD.
The Whole Season Is Available On DVD.
This episode was the turning point.
Kato wasn't bothered _that_ he was thrown in the trash. He was bothered at how easily the ambush happened. And what he told his boss about his aggressor (6:58) made clear he was having trouble keeping that "pissed off" emotion in check.
The final showdown between Kato and Low Sing was the game-changing scene for the entire Hornet brand. It was Kato's turn to take out the trash, and he did. No future portrayal of Kato would ever depict him exclusively as a valet.
The Praying Mantis is as good as it gets it is one of the greatest tv martial arts episodes ever
AT LAST . . . . The voice behind SOOO many narrations : The guy who plays the newscaster - Gary Owens.
Gary Owens was also the voice of Roger Ramjet.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you, I was ten years old again. My memory credits this show with making Bruce Lee big leading to the Kung Fu craze that has never really died away. I'm amused to see Mako of The Sand Pebbles in this. I've always thought of The Green Hornet as being a Batman spinoff, but this felt much darker than it. I'm also amused that I recognized the theme song was in Kill Bill.
I guess I'm just a little excited to see a show again I haven't seen in over half a century.
RIP Mako and Al Hirt on the trumpet. The show had a darker style and mystique. It was different and a little more mature in theme content versus the Batman series which was more cartoon-like. Ah, the 60's and you got love their ride, the Black Beauty (Chrysler Imperial).
GREEN HORNET!! BRUCE LEE IS STILL A BAD ASS!!
The legendary Mako did the voice of Aku of Samurai Jack and the firebending Uncle Iroh of Avtar: the Last Airbender before dieing at 72 in 2006
one of my favorite shows, yes i'm that old, Bruce Lee was a legend
I remember that I was 6 years old when this show came out. It was my favorite.
Don't know if it was previously mentioned, but that was Dan Inosanto subbing for Mako in the fight. Dan and Bruce together: awesomeness.
13:34 Gary Owens who would be a "Laugh In" regular, playing it straight as a DSTV announcer with that distinctive voice.
Glad you noticed that! I thought I might have been wrong, but it really was Gary Owens, eh?!
The voice of Space Ghost.

Goddamn this was such a great show. This was on about 10 years before my time and I think its holds up just as well today as it did when it was new. Action, drama, intrigue, kung fu...what idiot canceled this show?
america was in a different place in the mid 60's.
The ratings were *not* there. It was up against very tough competition. ruclips.net/video/U1XeXvli1ds/видео.html
@@dont-want-no-wrench Yes it was 🇵🇭🇺🇲🏝️
Why doesn't this episode have 5 million views. It is one of the most thrilling 1/2 hours on TV ever.
Love and miss Bruce Lee and mako .. this is one of my favorite episodes .
Kato/Bruce Lee was Excellent! I Wish they would have had more scripts showing his talent the show would have lasted for more than 5 years!!😁😉🤩
I THINK THIS THE BEST ONE
I love Van Williams and Bruce Lee they are two of my favorites
Man, I forgot how much I loved this show as a kid. Put Batman to shame, every kid at school was imitating Bruce Lee’s kick ass moves!
Bruce just lit up the screen. Van was good as Brit Reid. It was upsetting how they wrote this off. It was good and dark for its time. R.I.P. Bruce. Van. Mako. The new movie did this no justice. If they try again. I hope they really think it through.
It holds up really well but it was just about the lowest rated new show of the 1966-'67 season.
I think they're planning to do another movie, but more in tune with how the show played out
Brit Reid related to John Reid,the Lone Ranger
bruce lee was my childhood hero growing in chicago chinatown
This episode is so good and I love the way Bruce Lee fights may he Rest In Peace and Van Williams too they did have very good chemistry in the Green Hornet show.
The theme music was Mad Crazy !!!
Craftavenue Playas was thinking the same it's wild
Whoever owns the rights to this show really needs to release it on DVD and Blu Ray!
Just strongly hope that the masters are strongly locked up & secured safely in a vault.
The Whole season is on DVD.
There ARE some good bootlegs out there.
I have a blu-ray set but it’s really no better than standard definition. The series has always been available here on RUclips.
I really enjoyed the Green Hornet when it was on ABC in the mid-60's. It was more cerebral than the campy schlock on Batman. Sadly it only lasted for one season. Good stuff!
Mary was HOT!!! Intense topic for that era... Good to see more of Bruce Lee .
Mako is a legend. Love him. Was in MASH, PEARL HARBOR, MCHALES NAVY so many things.
What a classic! I haven't seen this show in years. Lee Jun Fan and Mako ... RIP ☯️
This episode followed the episode where Green Hornet and Kato encounter Batman and Robin.
In this episode we see Kato unleash his fighting skills like never before!!!!!
Nice to see Bruce getting a bit more time to shine in this one.
7:00
I swear everything bruce lee says is badass especially when Reid says "You got him"
First off this just showed up on my RUclips feed so thank you to the content creator.
The announcer is the same person who did Batman as well.
Bruce Lee and Mako on the same screen legendary.
This is one of my favorite episodes of the Green Hornet! Great show!
Great to find this classic. I had a Green Hornet Thermos metal lunch box, with that classic glass-lined bottle, back in the early 1970's. Thanks for the memories.
Bruce Lee!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!!
To the owner of this vid:
As someone whose life was involved in Martial Arts and ending up as a Wing Chun Gung-Fu instructor [what Bruce studied as a teenager], I'd like to point something out I find very interesting. Although this is staged, there is one part in this fight that is 'very real'.. that those in Karate, etc would be hard pressed to notice. In Karate tournaments, etc. bowing is done before the match. However, in Asian MA, the 'Bow' distinguishes your style. If one looks closely, these two bow.. differently.
ALSO.. "IF", when you bow, you extend your toe.. THAT is a 'challenge'!
THAT being said.. the 'bow' or intro that MAKO gives.. covering the fist and pulling it to the side.. is from Bruce's style! Bruce seems to have made something up for HIS bow.. that's half WC [@ the end].
To 'insiders', THAT is VERY significant.. as Bruce was severely chastised by the Asian community for teaching Non- Chinese Gung-Fu. By doing this [in this episode], Bruce saved-face for his Master IP, back in China.
A 'very cool' picture from the past.. of Bruce Lee's submission to tradition. Something he "RARELY" did!
Good VIDEO. Preying Manthis vs Bruce Lee! Good fight! Lee kicked in garbage can as he jumped backed up ready to fight! Good ending fight! Glad that pretty Chinese girl not hurt at restaurant!
"He backs down like a woman" You would not get away with that statement on TV today. lol
BRUCE LEE doesnt give a shit lol. Just look at his reaction; CLASSIC!!!
THATS BECAUSE TODAY, OUR FREE SPEECH GONE!!!
Sure you could. Insults haven't gone away.
Great Episode, loved Mako's acting. He was in a lot of Movies also. Bruce Lee was awesome.
This was their best fight!!! Because both of them fought well. Clearly this Green Hornet had more fighting skills than the Green Hornet in the movie!!!!
It took this long for the great Bruce Lee to finally be given an actual fight scene. The producers could not see solid outstanding right in front of them.
Very good episode, Mako was into martial arts and made a good opponent for Kato .
@@speedracer1945 Mako was stick fighting (kendo) in a bit part in If Tomorrow Comes around 1971. Mako played the cousin of a Japanese boy who was dating a white girl (Patty Duke) in Calif 1941.
Love the way they do "respect" before they get down to the fighting. Brings back memories......
RIP Mako
This episode...I jumped out of my skin when I first saw this. Bruce Lee and Mako....damn. Big part of my childhood
This makes me live again,the most amazing tv series.
A time when television had wholesome shows
Bruce Lee and Mako. Both these men have special places in the hearts of Black Americans. Those two guys went threw the same Discriminations and hardships Blacks were dealing with in the 1960's. God Bless America. We Miss you Bruce Lee and You as well Mako. Rest in Peace to them Both.
I was just a kid i loved this show!!
The fight was revolutionary back in those days on TV. Never anything like this before that.
This is the episode that really got me 'Juiced' as a High School kid!
I copied everything Lee did----Even went down to China Town in Sea-
tle, which wasn't the safest place for young white guys to go, just to
look around for Gung-Fu books, and supplies. I had Tons of fun
training and working out in those days. Even to this day, I still kick
and punch the 'Bags.'
Thank you, Bruce!
Great episode
I really enjoyed the green hornet, especially Bruce Lee and his martial arts Fighting skills.
This is how the preying mantis style got recognized by the westerners. Thanks you, Bruce Lee.
That is one BADD *IMPERIAL* -"The Black Beauty"
Yes, it's a 1966 Chrysler Crown Imperial, customized by Dean Jefferies.
How come “Kato” wasn’t invited to the dinner at the end, he was the one who kicked everyone’s ass...
He hast to keep his cover as a servant
"Got you this order, Kato."
Because he was Kato and being servant was the max.
He got 12 orders of takeout. A half a dozen ladies to share it with. Every girls crazy about a sharp dressed Kato.
According to the TV producers and Hollywood, Asian can never be in a leading role. At the last minute David Carradine replaced Bruce Lee for the main character in “Kung Fu” TV series because Carradine was white acting as Chinese. Hollywood wanted play safe as millions of Americans were not comfortable with little Asian beating up white men. Asian Discrimination still is rampant and strong even today.
Here's where Bruce Lee shines in his role as Kato the kung fu fighter--a pity that more episodes featuring his martial arts skills at length weren't to be produced.
What a shame the execs at ABC--TV rejected the idea of expanding The Green Hornet into an hour-long program, which would've given greater depth to the characters and the plot, therefore it might have lasted longer as a series.
Classic TV you don't see anymore, but always worth watching. And the future Aku of Samurai Jack guest stars--none other than the late great Mako!

See Bruce's extremely quick reflexes @14:55- Dayum!

Me ontenz And a good actor, too. His casual response to the Green Hornet's concern for his injury from fighting Mako at the en, is pretty cool.
He's good there, but I like Lee's acting in that Batman episode when Batty was bragging about how HE saved them from Gumm's stamp machine. Kato looked like he could care less what Ol' Pointy Ears had to say.
It's hilariously funny to me when i heard Micheal Jai White say he could beat bruce because of his size. Saying size matters. No No No Micheal. A master matters. And that's what Bruce Lee was and always Will be. A master.
