    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Seth Rogen proclaimed the film was a "nightmare", chalking it up to studio executives paying little attention to the most expensive portions of the film, and its inflated budget.
    • Goofs
      When Britt and Kato arrive back at the Reid mansion right before their brawl through Britt's rooms, it is night. But during the fight, daylight can be seen through a window.
    • Quotes

      Britt Reid: Kato, I want you to take my hand, and I want you to come with me on this adventure.

      Kato: I go with you, but I don't want to touch you.

    • Crazy credits
      The light coming from the torch is green, instead of its usual combination of rainbow, twinkling colors. This green quickly dominates the screen after the appearance of the word "Columbia" and flares to a white hot burning image mixed with the green.
    • Alternate versions
      Also released in a 3D version.
    • Connections
      Edited into Aristokraticheskiy kinematograf: Episode #1.4 (2011)

    8/10
    Great parody, rather than a classic super hero movie.
    If you don't know what to expect and you haven't even seen the trailer than i believe you are going to have great fun. The movie is not a classic main stream super hero movie but a very nice parody making fun of the way super hero movies are made, emphasizing on their blank spots. Do not expect a meaningless script like "super hero movie". Green Hornet has its own storyline that is consistent, but the characters and situations are hilarious. I haven't laughed so much for a long time, which makes the movie a success judging by the result. I believe it is a great way to spent an evening if you want to relax and watch an easy entertaining movie.
