Superheroes are all the rage, but they were all the rage back in the day as well! The Green Hornet was one of those such heroes! Universal Pictures decided to produce a movie serial of The Green Hornet in 1940 to huge success! Than in 1941 Universal pictures decided to bring the Hornet back. Now thanks to Restored Serials Super Restoration Corp. you can bring the Hornet in your home in high definition.
In this serial sequel to the wealthy publisher Britt Reid aka The Green Hornet (originally played by Gordon Jones now played by Warren Hull) and his trusted Asian servant Kato (Keye Luke who returned from the first serial) investigate and expose what they believe to be separate rackets. They soon find out that these little rackets are all part of a large Syndicate lead by the Leader, the criminal mastermind behind all the crimes. Can The green Hornet and Kato save the day?! You’ll have to watch this serial to find out!
As a fan of the Green Hornet comics, TV shows, movies I was excited to see how this serial was treated. I have to say I was amazed how great this Blu-ray looks. Not only to you get this beautifully restored HD serial in this release, but you get a bonus CD featuring a press book, photos and more. This is truly the release for a hero.
So if you love the old superhero serials as much as I do, what are you waiting for head over to Amazon you can pick your copy of this restored classic on Blu-ray and you too can feel the sting of The Green Hornet.
