    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Van Williams became good friends with Bruce Lee and repeatedly negotiated with the show's producers to give Lee more screen time and lines.
    • Goofs
      A mistake which runs throughout all Green Hornet incarnations is pronouncing the Japanese name Kato as Kayto rather than the correct Kahto.
    • Quotes
      • Narrator: Another challenge for the Green Hornet, his aide Kato, and their rolling arsenal, the Black Beauty. On Police records a wanted criminal, Green Hornet is really Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel, his dual identity known only to his secretary and to the district attorney. And now, to protect the rights and lives of decent citizens, rides THE GREEN HORNET."
    • Alternate versions
      When the show was broadcast in Hong Kong in 1968 it was renamed 'The Kato Show', such was the popularity of Bruce Lee among children.
    • Connections
      Edited into Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do (1995)
