TRAILER: Looks like the Green Hornet movie will suck like the two Charlie's Angels remakes sucked
Brit Reid, A.K.A. The Green Hornet, played as a hopeless dweeb. The non-Bruce Lee "Kato" played as a cool guy who humors the hopeless dweeb. Lotsa explosions and CGI stuff. I'll take the old TV series instead, thanks.

The trailer, on MTV: http://splashpage.mtv.com/2010/06/22/the-green-hornet-trailer-debuts/

1. I thought the first Charlie's Angels movie was decent
light summer fluff - good balance of fun/spoof & seriousness. The second one went way over the top on the fun/spoof aspect and just sucked.

Replying now, though, so I can find later.

4. Wasn't there a Green Hornet TV show?
Back around the TV batman era. I think Bruce Lee was Kato, but I can't remember who played the lead. From the trailer, teevee re-runs would be better.

8. Yep...Bruce Lee as Kato.
YouTube has a Bruce Lee fight scene from the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81k_34ouQhM

It was on the air during the height of the Batman TV show's popularity, but it was less "campy." They did a cross-over episode with the Batman show as well.

:toast:

5. I'm fine with this, so long as they leave the Brown Hornet alone. n/t

6. I think it looks kind of cool.

Kato was always the real hero anyways.
I just hope it makes my 1966 Green Hornet trading cards worth more cash ;)

(Not my card)

7. Not sure about the movie, and only watched the first few seconds of the clip so far.
Edited on Tue Jun-22-10 12:12 PM by RandomThoughts
Did anyone notice their is the words "the standard" written upside down at the begining of the clip?

Is that turning standard things upside down, or is it flying the flag upside down? I wonder what flag they would mean by that also?

9. The ghost of Bruce Lee is going to appear in Seth Rogen's bedroom one night...
and repeatedly kidney punch him until he pisses blood.
