I have to agree with eric and anyone else who thought this was lousy made as this dvd had three episode in one and was very hard to follow So I did not like it and would not plan on buying the next issue unless you can prove that there is separate episode that goes all the way though.....
Someone PLEASE Release the Entire Series on DVD!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

First, some technical specifications. DVD made by Brentwood Home Video, Copyright 2000. DVD is in widescreen, 1:1.85 ratio. The DVD cover states that it is from a "brand new" 35mm print of the original 1974 movie. DVD is not in stereo, but something the DVD cover describes as "Digital Dolby Mono." DVD has excellent bonus features including a Featurette called "The Black Beauty" which details a Green Hornet fan's restoration of one of the original Black Beauty cars. Also included is a loop of Bruck Lee's greatest fight scenes from the movie along with a photo gallery.
Even in this limited format, I was struck by what an amazing show "The Green Hornet" was, especially for 1966 television. Great writing, excellent casting and superlative design must have made this show jump off the tv screen in 1966, even if you had a black & white set. It's rumored that the staggering cost of each episode made the network drop the series and I can see why. If not for the shoddy editing, this compilation of episodes stands right alongside "James Bond," "Our Man Flint" and "Matt Helm" as a prime 60's super-spy movie. It is one of the few TV shows I have ever seen that actually LOOKS like a movie.
I agree that the movie is hard to follow in places due to the poor editing and the focus on The Master Bruce Lee, but it's the ONLY non-bootleg DVD of anything having to do with the 1966-67 TV series available. Note to all who have bootleg Green Hornet dvds: if you see an "FX" logo in the bottom of your screen, that means the person that burned it taped it (or the person that you bought it from who bought it from someone else who taped it) from re-runs of the Green Hornet that FX network did over ten years ago. It's sad that Fox or whoever holds the rights to this character are letting dvd bootleggers rob them and fans of money (go ahead and do a google search on the Hornet and see what the first hit is!). It's also sad that the FORTIETH Anniversary of the TV show has come and gone with NOTHING to commemorate it! Hopefully, the eventual DVD release of the 60's "Batman" TV show (the two shows had a crossover) will inspire someone at Fox to release the Green Hornet in the format that this excellent show deserves, but until then, this is all we have.

This is the second 3 volume set of the Green Hornet collection. It includes the last 17 episodes of this epic prime time television series. See the young Bruce Lee when he first burst in the main stream of Hollywood. This DVD collection is a must have for any Bruce Lee fan!

Caveat Emptor 1 out of 5 stars.

I knew I was in trouble when I received my copy of this title today and the return address was for England. When I popped the DVD into my drive, a message came back immediately saying in essence that I was in the wrong region for running this DVD. I am going to try it on my DVD ROM drive in my computer, but I have no idea that that will work either. All in all, this has been a disappointing day as far as this item is concerned. I would advise people not to buy it or at least be careful concerning the person selling the item. Even though the Amazon ad says that the disc will play in all regions, that isn't necessarily true. In the meantime, we will have to wait until an American distributor decides to bring either the Green Hornet movies or, even better, the TV series to the market. Let us hope.
A Disappointed Customer

See other reviews on this page for the reason why you should not buy this dvd if you live in the USA. If you are interested in the Green Hornet, look for the dvd in the NTSC format, probably linked on this same page.

Editorial Review:
After Bruce Lee's untimely death in 1973, and the global success of 'Enter The Dragon', two 90-minute feature films were created to capitalise on Lee's worldwide stardom. The first of these films, Green Hornet, was released theatrically in 1974. Starring Bruce Lee as Kato and Van Williams as The Green Hornet, the film capitalised on the existing popularity of the 1960's crime-fighting duo. Edited with Bruce Lee's star power in mind, the film has an abundance of spectacular fight scenes. The Green Hornet represents the last of the unreleased Bruce Lee feature films. Included in this special presentation is the short documentary, The Black Beauty, an astonishing look into the design and restoration of The Green Hornet's unique car/battle machine.
