Green Hornet the Movie - Original TV Series footage starring the late Bruce Lee



   We watched the Green Hornet yesterday (1st day of Chinese New Year) and thoroughly enjoyed the laugh a minute, mindless mostly, action provided from the 3 leads, Jay Chou (Taiwan superstar singer), Seth Rogan (who's he ?) and Cameron Diaz (Charlie's Angels). The plot was predictable, and the acting by Jay Chou was horrendous (he's really a poker face, but handsome nonetheless).

   There is the not-so- subtle political undertone, played by Kato (Chou) who is Chinese and having a punch up with the larger and bumbling Brett Reid aka Hornet. Kato is smaller, but up and coming, and skilled with the martial arts and Hornet is larger but basically bumbling around. Its reflects the China -US relations of the times and shows that China can and will flex its muscles too. Together they defeat the bad guys out of sheer luck and some quick thinking by Kato.    

   Here is a clip from youtube showing the original Kato (the late martial art icon- Bruce Lee). Hope everyone has a fantastic Chinese New Year !    Xin Nian Kuai Le !

It's the usual white supremcy shit. In the movie, Green Hornet had a fight with Kato. For a person not skilled in martial arts and able to spar with Kato for 1o minutes is pure rubbish!!!
