Green Hornet Tidbits Britt Reid (Van Williams) is handed
management of his father Dan's newspaper, The Daily Sentinel in Washington D.C.
With this comes a mandate to do good in the world, which this family comes by
naturally as Dad is a grandnephew of John Reid, also know as - The Lone
Ranger.
The Green Hornet is the great-grand-nephew of the Lone Ranger,
you ask skeptically. Yes, because George Trendle created both and a plug is a
plug is a plug.
The association inspires Britt and so he sets up shop as
the Green Hornet, a crimefighting masked crusader. (Sound familiar?) His
manservant, Kato (Bruce Lee) assists him in his deeds of derring-do. Only he,
Reid's secretary and the District Attorney (Walter Brooke) know the Green
Hornet's true identity.
Yes, THAT Bruce Lee, later to star in a
gadzillion martial arts films.
The plot twist. The Green Hornet is
considered a criminal by police and so has to beat a hasty retreat after
nabbing the bad guys.
Passings Bruce Lee died in 1973 of cerebral edema, Lloyd Gough
in 1984 of aortic aneurism, Walter Brooke in 1984 of emphysema and Wende Wagner
in 1997 of cancer. |
