The Green Hornet is a short re-envisioning of the classic characters of the popular radio series from french director Aurélien Poitrimoult. In the original series, The Green Hornet is actually Britt Reid, fearless newspaper publisher, who becomes the Green Hornet to battle criminals that have escaped the long arm of law with his trusted sidekick, Kato.
Unlike most fan films, which are of questionable basement-production quality, this is really worth watching. The fight choreography is particularly eye-catching. I’d say it was big-screen quality, but given the ever-widening range of quality seen in comic book films, I’m not sure that would be saying much.
If you’re a big pulp fan, definitely take a look. This may be the most authentic attempt you ever see, since the version Hollywood is cooking up is slated to feature comedian Seth Rogan – a sure sign the franchise will be getting the Starsky & Hutch treatment.
