Review To Help Your Purchase,
This review is from: Green Hornet Strikes Again, The (DVD)
This DVD release is SUPERB. I can say that because I have purchased numerous releases for the same serial, including VHS and unauthorized DVD releases. The picture quality is sharp and clear and evidently from the studio masters. The sound is excellent and the detail level is superb.
The serial is chaptered so you can select which chapter you want to watch or you can watch them all from beginning to end without interruption. Old-Time Radio shows are a bonus. Best part about this release is the liner notes. Authored by Martin Grams, it reveals just how and where they filmed each scene for the chapters, character actors in small roles (such as an unbilled Alan Ladd) and more. I recommend you read the liner notes before watching the serial so you have plenty to look out for during viewing. Makes viewing more fun. (And according to the end of the notes, the author has an authorized book on THE GREEN HORNET coming out in early 2010!) Overall, quality, liner notes, radio shows, bonus features, this is as good as it gets. If you question whether this is worth the price, take it from a Hornet fan. Grab this.

The Green Hornet Strikes Again,
By Richard Claiborne (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Green Hornet Strikes Again (15 Episodes) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Warren Hull replaces Gordon Jones in the lead role in this sequel to The Green Hornet. Hull, who is best known in his role as The Spider and who also played Lee Falk's Mandrake is a welcome improvement for Jones. Keye Luke returns as the sidekick Kato. Y'know next to Clark Kent's glasses as a disguise, how could you not figure out who the Green Hornet and Kato was. A white guy and an oriental kinda stands out, huh? But, despite the lame secret identity (you have to suspend some disbelief), this is a fair serial despite it's Columbia label (sorry, but I have a real prejudice for Columbia serials). It contains a fair amount of action, a good cast and some semblence of a story. If you want to view Hull's best work, however, find a copy of "The Spider Strikes" and avoid at all costs "The Spider Returns."

Lots of action,

This review is from: Green Hornet Strikes Again (15 Episodes) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Fran Striker, co-creator of The Green Hornet radio show, was script supervisor and two actors, William Hall and Jay Michael were from the popular radio show. Hall was the voice of radio's Hornet for a time. So what we see here is a first-rate serial that really tried to be faithful to the radio series.
