Title: The Green Hornet

Release Date: 21 Mar 1974

Runtime: 1h 30m

Genre: Action, Comedy

Director: Constantin Film

Production Companies: Constantin Film

Overview: After the superstardom and early death of Bruce Lee, 20th Century Fox decided to cobble together a couple of theatrical feature films from this property, of which this 1974 effort is the first. The bulk of the film consists of four episodes crudely spliced together. Scattered throughout are bizarrely irrelevant fight scenes from other episodes, which make the already disjointed plotting quite surreal. The television image was cropped to make a widescreen film, which means the tops of heads and hats are lopped off the frame with alarming regularity.
