I hate the idea of a campy "Green Hornet", as well. Unfortunately, it's on it's way.

The film is going from bad (Seth Rogan) to worse (Seth Rogan in 3D!).flat-top said:Here we go. Sheesh.

Except for some short clips on You Tube and two "movies" on dvd (which are actually just episodes from the series edited together) you won't find much unless you look for bootleg copies. Like the 60s Batman television show, The Green Hornet is held up in litigation over who actually owns the rights, and the series has never been legitimately released.Yeps said:I might have to look up the old show so I can join in the complaining. My only experience comes from the radio show from earlier, and I rather liked that, although it was in itself a bit campy. If I watch the show I can complain about that and the upcoming movie.
Tomorrow, Jan 11th, the Syfy channel is running a marathon of The Green Hornet TV series, starring Van Williams and Bruce Lee. I hope that new and old fans alike will take this opportunity to catch this classic series. It will certainly be time better spent than watching the new Seth Rogen movie.
Caught a couple of the episodes yesterday and really enjoyed what I viewed.
Cheers!

Last night Mythbusters had a Green Hornet special with Seth Rogen during which the Mythbusters team blew away several of the movie's big scenes as being "busted" while Rogen made up excuses. I've seen enough of the movie via trailers to know it's not going to be worth my time and money to go see it in the theaters. Maybe I'll get it from NetFlix in a couple of months, but I dunno... I have a hard time watching Britt Reid reduced to bumbling jackass.
