Kato did it!

[Jon Cole]

Kato's in trouble! During the filming of the movie based on the old TV show "The Green Hornet", Kato crashed the GH's '66 Imperial... and it wasn't in the script!

Before:

After:

Note the flame visible under the car

Ummmm.....IIRC, didn't Bruce Lee have issues driving the original?

[RodneyBad]

OMG!!!!!

What a lost.

Looks to be a Very Cool looking car now.

I wonder if they will do a model of it?

I betcha the building had to change address.

I do know that Bruce Lee didn't like the fact they wanted him to lose a fight to Robin.

So they made it a Draw.

I guess Kato had to hold back, a Lot.

I've only heard Romurs about the Movie.

I Hope it will be Waaaaaaaaaaaay Better than the SpeedRacer Movie.

(Have yet to watch it)

They did do a model of it back in the 60s when the Green Hornet was a TV show.

Yaaa, but wasn't it a smaller scale??

Saw it was and almost bought it.

Multi piece body.

I think it was 1/32??

I dreaming of a 1/25 1.24 scale.

Yes, I know, keep on dreamin on..

Lownslow: BTW guys thats not a replica that was the real deal

I don't think they'll have alot of extra ones laying around.

Most got used up playing Demolition Derby.

A car soo big and heavy, it actually got outed.

Or atleast in my area.

Well, yes, and no. That car is a real 66 Imperial that was built for the movie, but its NOT the original Black Beauty from the TV series.

Considering who is playing Britt Ried/The Green Hornet, I wouldn't get my hopes up.....

Speed Racer wasn't a great movie but it was better than I expected. They did a fairly good job of being like the cartoon. Of course that means it wasn't as good as it could have been, but it was pretty faithful to the source material.

I mean really if you have watched the Speed Racer cartoon as an adult it is not nearly as cool as it was when you were a kid.
