One sheet original 1974 U.S. one-sheet movie poster for
The Green Hornet, a feature film created by compiling several episodes of the short-lived 1966-1967 television series of the same name.
About the Film
Premise: The film, like the TV series, follows Britt Reid (Van Williams), a wealthy newspaper publisher who secretly operates as the masked crime-fighter the Green Hornet. He fights crime alongside his valet and martial arts expert partner, Kato (Bruce Lee), using a gadget-enhanced car called the Black Beauty.
Production Context: The movie was released after Bruce Lee's death in 1973 to capitalize on his international superstardom in martial arts films. The film consists of four television episodes crudely edited together to create a feature-length experience.
Noteworthy: The TV series, while short-lived, is significant for introducing true martial arts fighting to a broad American audience and launching Bruce Lee's career.
