- Quotes
Narrator: Another challenge for the Green Hornet, his aide Kato, and their rolling arsenal, the Black Beauty.

And now, to protect the rights and lives of decent citizens, rides THE GREEN HORNET."
- Alternate versionsWhen the show was broadcast in Hong Kong in 1968 it was renamed 'The Kato Show', such was the popularity of Bruce Lee among children.

Featured review
Great Stuff
I ordered the entire series on VHS (pirated) and this show is great! It's definitely not everybody's taste, since it is a little hokey, but NOT campy. It really is a treat to see Bruce Lee before he'd made those great movies, even though in most episodes he has about 2 lines. It's kind of obvious that 60's American TV wasn't ready for a real chinese action star. (the show Kung Fu anyone??)But even so it's a fun show and it would have been even better if they'd let Bruce show them what he can really do. The best episode has to be the Preying Mantis where Kato totally stole the show!
