Between his first appearance in 1959 to his last appearance in 2007 he complied over 160 movie and TV credits, playing both good guys and bad guys. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

In the 60s, America wasn't ready to see Asian heroes on mainstream TV, but it transitioned slowly in the 70s with the gaining popularity of the martial arts. TV shows like Kung Fu (even though the lead was Caucasian aka David Carradine) and Longstreet with James Franciscus ... starring Bruce Lee as the instructor introducing his art, in which the show's title was called Way of the Intercepting Fist (aka Jeet June Do)

This is my favorite episode of "The Green Hornet" TV series, simply because of the fact that it showcased Bruce Lee's character Kato more fully. Loved the fight scene between Kato and Mako's character of Low Sing. If only "The Green Hornet" would've lasted at least two more seasons, I would've loved to have seen more episodes like this that utilized Kato more.

So the Japanese guy is played by a Chinese guy, a Chinese guy is played by a Japanese guy. I'm willing to bet the Italian mob boss is really an Irish cop.

Thank you so much for this iconic episode.I started training in GojuRyu karate in 1965.A year later,this show hit tge airwaves.I continued with karate for 7 years,then moved on to several styles if gung fu (kung fu).

This episode was the turning point. Kato wasn't bothered _that_ he was thrown in the trash. He was bothered at how easily the ambush happened. And what he told his boss about his aggressor (6:58) made clear he was having trouble keeping that "pissed off" emotion in check. The final showdown between Kato and Low Sing was the game-changing scene for the entire Hornet brand. It was Kato's turn to take out the trash, and he did. No future portrayal of Kato would ever depict him exclusively as a valet.

RIP Mako and Al Hirt on the trumpet. The show had a darker style and mystique. It was different and a little more mature in theme content versus the Batman series which was more cartoon-like. Ah, the 60's and you got love their ride, the Black Beauty (Chrysler Imperial).

To the owner of this vid: As someone whose life was involved in Martial Arts and ending up as a Wing Chun Gung-Fu instructor [what Bruce studied as a teenager], I'd like to point something out I find very interesting. Although this is staged, there is one part in this fight that is 'very real'.. that those in Karate, etc would be hard pressed to notice. In Karate tournaments, etc. bowing is done before the match. However, in Asian MA, the 'Bow' distinguishes your style. If one looks closely, these two bow.. differently. ALSO.. "IF", when you bow, you extend your toe.. THAT is a 'challenge'! THAT being said.. the 'bow' or intro that MAKO gives.. covering the fist and pulling it to the side.. is from Bruce's style! Bruce seems to have made something up for HIS bow.. that's half WC [@ the end]. To 'insiders', THAT is VERY significant.. as Bruce was severely chastised by the Asian community for teaching Non- Chinese Gung-Fu. By doing this [in this episode], Bruce saved-face for his Master IP, back in China. A 'very cool' picture from the past.. of Bruce Lee's submission to tradition. Something he "RARELY" did!

Love and miss Bruce Lee and mako .. this is one of my favorite episodes .

"He backs down like a woman" You would not get away with that statement on TV today. lol

Sure you could. Insults haven't gone away.

This is one of my favorite episodes of the Green Hornet! Great show!

Bruce just lit up the screen. Van was good as Brit Reid. It was upsetting how they wrote this off. It was good and dark for its time. R.I.P. Bruce. Van. Mako. The new movie did this no justice. If they try again. I hope they really think it through.

It holds up really well but it was just about the lowest rated new show of the 1966-'67 season.

According to the TV producers and Hollywood, Asian can never be in a leading role. At the last minute David Carradine replaced Bruce Lee for the main character in “Kung Fu” TV series because Carradine was white acting as Chinese. Hollywood wanted play safe as millions of Americans were not comfortable with little Asian beating up white men. Asian Discrimination still is rampant and strong even today.

This was their best fight!!! Because both of them fought well. Clearly this Green Hornet had more fighting skills than the Green Hornet in the movie!!!!

Here's where Bruce Lee shines in his role as Kato the kung fu fighter--a pity that more episodes featuring his martial arts skills at length weren't to be produced. What a shame the execs at ABC--TV rejected the idea of expanding The Green Hornet into an hour-long program, which would've given greater depth to the characters and the plot, therefore it might have lasted longer as a series. Classic TV you don't see anymore, but always worth watching. And the future Aku of Samurai Jack guest stars--none other than the late great Mako! 😎😁😼❤🐉💙🐉💛🐲

Damm I remember watching this back in the day. How I miss those days. It’s 2023 who else remembers I know you’re out there

Nice to see Bruce getting a bit more time to shine in this one.

Great episode

Great Episode, loved Mako's acting. He was in a lot of Movies also. Bruce Lee was awesome.

Great to find this classic. I had a Green Hornet Thermos metal lunch box, with that classic glass-lined bottle, back in the early 1970's. Thanks for the memories.

This episode...I jumped out of my skin when I first saw this. Bruce Lee and Mako....damn. Big part of my childhood

I was just a kid i loved this show!!

I think the Green hornet is an amazing character an

It took this long for the great Bruce Lee to finally be given an actual fight scene. The producers could not see solid outstanding right in front of them.

He's good there, but I like Lee's acting in that Batman episode when Batty was bragging about how HE saved them from Gumm's stamp machine. Kato looked like he could care less what Ol' Pointy Ears had to say.

It's hilariously funny to me when i heard Micheal Jai White say he could beat bruce because of his size. Saying size matters. No No No Micheal. A master matters. And that's what Bruce Lee was and always Will be. A master.

Nice extended fight scene with Lee. Peace

I really enjoyed the green hornet, especially Bruce Lee and his martial arts Fighting skills.

Good VIDEO. Preying Manthis vs Bruce Lee! Good fight! Lee kicked in garbage can as he jumped backed up ready to fight! Good ending fight! Glad that pretty Chinese girl not hurt at restaurant!

bruce never back down from challenge from any man

the 10 year old me, still loves this.

Love the way they do "respect" before they get down to the fighting. Brings back memories......

I would love to see a reboot of this episode expanded into an entire season. 20:56

14:55 Holy smokes! That was simply amazing! Bruce Lee was just incredible -- lightning fast.
