DVD - Green Hornet w/ Bruce Lee Vol 2  E-mail this product to a friend

Starring Bruce Lee as Kato and Van Williams as The Green Hornet, the 1960s crime-fighting duo-by day Britt Reid, publisher-editor of the Daily Sentinel, and his chauffeur-man servant Kato-battle relentlessly against the forces of urban evil.

This movie takes Kato and the Green Hornet on four epic adventures, including trying to stop a plot to oust a young prince of a foreign power and exposing two crooked cops, a case that leads to the Green Hornet being wounded and then nearly killed. Kato and the Green Hornet are then pushed to the very limit by a well organized gang carrying out a million-dollar art heist, and using a fantastic ray gun to remove anyone in their path.

Could this include our crime-fighting duo? Finally, the last adventure takes our heroes into the dark underworld of drug trafficking, testing all their skills in crime-fighting. Edited with Bruce Lee's on-screen magnetism in mind, the film has an abundance of extra, spectacular fight scenes.

OK, let's face it. You're not getting this because you want to see tight plots with spectacular special effects and 5.1 surround sound. You want to see Bruce Lee in THE Green Hornet.

Volume 2 is four episodes from the series. They last about 90 minutes in total though the 8 chapter stops don't really make any sense. But this isn't something you're going to watch over and over, scanning for specific moves. This is just for fun!

Sound and lighting are very good quality - typical of a color 60's TV show (think "Bewitched"). Nothing special, but quite watchable. They appeared to have done a great job on the transfer to DVD (except for the chapter stops!). These are "real" DVDs, not someone's homemade (unauthorized) copies burned in their basement.

Extras include a trailer and a very rare screen test with Bruce Lee (age 24) talking about coming to Hollywood/U.S, demonstrating Kung Fu, etc. Black and white and about 8 minutes long.

Oddly, the "pilot episode" is actually on Vol 3 with a bonus short film, but honestly, it's not the end of the world if you watch these out of order... Not like watching something horribly involved like Harry Potter or the Die Hard series.

Running time: approximately 90 minutes plus extras (full color)
