The answer to the question is back in this thread that has been combined with one already existing which I was pretty sure was probably the case, please excuse the redundancy. Great minds think alike. Right? Jeez, do I feel stupid now I'll never live this down if I live to be............

Yes, I named my car after the Hornet's. Well, sort of. It's a black 66 Mustang that's always giving me trouble, and so I call it The ____ _____ (I guess we have to play Mad Libs here 
)
Oh, bartender, edit me if you must.

The money you might receive will be usable in a famous boardgame created with paint samples and the streets in Atlantic City on some guy's kitchen table back during the Depression. Bank error in your favor! Uh-oh!! Luxury Tax!!!! 75%!!!Tony in Tarzana said:

You shouldn't feel bad; we've all done it in our excitement to do a post. It does help to use the Search feature, but that is what we are here for. It's great to see the older thread revived. There is a lot of information here.deanglen said:

It's interesting that someone suggested a Chrysler 300C for an updated Black Beauty. I was thinking the same thing.

Bruce Lee
Kato!!! Yeah I used to watch this just like Batman when I was a kid, mostly for Bruce Lee, who can't remember Longstreet TV show, about a guy who loses his sight, in one great episode Bruce Lee teaches him how to fight without seeing, really awesome, sorry to go off topic, but Bruce Lee as Kato was one bad dude, everyone knows the story of Lee not wanting to be cast as Chinese house boy to a rich white man the rest of his life, but that’s another topic, The Green Hornet was cool, so was Al Hurts opening trumpet in the title song, bumble bee, A Green way Production!!

I didn't have the occasion to see the Green Hornet as much as Batman, but based on this thread, I will have a better look.
Always been a Batman fan myself, though I much preferred him without Robin (As in Batman Begins)...

If they ever actually make a movie version, let's hope they cast an adult as the Hornet and NOT Jake Gyllenhaal.

I can see Hollywood's version now. Ben Aflake as The Green Hornet and Matt Damon as Kato.

Affleck was my immediate, first "scary" thought when this thread started! George Clooney is too "old" now by Hollywood standards but probably could've been believable.
Is Jet Li too old to play Kato?

Yep, AFlake would be scary but Clooney is just as scary to me.
:eusa_doh: Jet Li could be Kato for sure. He can even speak English better so that is actually an improvement. Regards,

GReen Hornet Fedora
It's unusual for me to see it, but it seems the Green Hornet is one of those gents who can get away with wearing his hat a good two inches above the ears, and it still looks good. Personally, I need my fedora to sit just a few hairs above the ears.

Just to show you how much my household shimmies in and out between the 1930s and the 2000s:
When my son was in kindergarten five years ago, his teacher played snippets of music and asked the kids what images they brought to mind. At one point, she played "The Flight of the Bumblebee". When she asked my son what it reminded him of he said:
"The Green Hornet!"

Serials
I have the one of the old serials of the Green Hornet. I believe it was from 1941. His costume was real simple. If I remember correctly, it was just a trench coat to cover his suit and it held a pair of gloves and his mask that covered the entire face with a hornet logo on the mask. I cant remember the type of car, but the engine sounded like a hornet buzzing. I need to see if I can find it again and rewatch it. It is in any number of moving boxes, since I got married. I am trying to do a version of the Gray Ghost based on a similar costume to the serial's Green Hornet. My car would be similar to Phillip Marlowes car in The Big Sleep with hidden weapons compartment.
