Movie Reviews of The Green Hornet (Bruce Lee)
Movie Review: Not Worth $20.00
Summary: 3 Stars
From reading reviews on what is available on DVD from the Green Hornet, I decided on this DVD. I figured the the quality wouldn't be that great, but just to see the old Green Hornet TV series would be a thrill(it was one of my favorite shows), and the documentary on the Black Beauty would be a nice added feature. Well, I was right about the quality of the video. It's grainy and not very sharp. Also very dark at times. Even though the quality wasn't that good, it was good seeing the Green Hornet & Kato kick butt again. All the episodes on the DVD had pretty decent story lines except the last 2. The last 2 episodes were really rather dumb and a little chopped up...scenes didn't flow together. Unfortunately, my copy of this DVD didn't include the documentary on the Black Beauty, which was a major disappointment for me. Without this documentary, I feel this DVD is not worth (...).(The seller claims it does have the documentary on it. I have returned the DVD to have the seller review it and either instruct me on how to find the documentary, produce a copy that does, or just issue a refund. I will update this review if I'm provided a copy of the DVD that does have the Black Beauty documentary on it.)
UPDATE/April 6th:
After the Seller review the copy of "The Green Hornet" DVD I returned to him, he confirmed that it didn't have the "Black Beauty" documentary on it. He sent me out another DVD which does have the documentary on it along with a trailer for the "Green Hornet" movie. The documentary on the "Black Beauty" is pretty interesting and a welcome addition for die hard fans of the "Green Hornet". This DVD will do until someone in Hollywood wakes up and puts out a remaster box set of "the Green Hornet" like it deserves.
One side note, here's the response from the Seller to my "Seller Feedback":Seller Response: "THIS IS A BOGUS PRODUCT REVIEW.I PERSONALLY OWN A COPY OF THE GREEN HORNET,SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE BLACK BEAUTY DOCUMENTARY IS INCLUDED.THE DESCRIPTION ON THE BACK OF THE DVD PACKAGING DOESN'T MENTION THE DOCUMENTARY,HOWEVER WHEN YOU PUT THE ACTUAL DVD IN YOU'LL SEE IT'S THERE.APPARENTLY THIS CUSTOMER DECIDED TO POST A REVIEW WITHOUT EVEN OPENING THE DVD TO WATCH IT!"

Summary of The Green Hornet (Bruce Lee)
After Bruce Lee's untimely death in 1973, and the global success of 'Enter The Dragon', two 90-minute feature films were created to capitalise on Lee's worldwide stardom. The first of these films, Green Hornet, was released theatrically in 1974. Starring Bruce Lee as Kato and Van Williams as The Green Hornet, the film capitalised on the existing popularity of the 1960's crime-fighting duo. Edited with Bruce Lee's star power in mind, the film has an abundance of spectacular fight scenes. The Green Hornet represents the last of the unreleased Bruce Lee feature films. Included in this special presentation is the short documentary, The Black Beauty, an astonishing look into the design and restoration of The Green Hornet's unique car/battle machine.Similar DVD Movies
