When I was a kid (63 now) Kato was my hero! Still is!

What’s always so awesome about watching Bruce is how fast he STARTS to move. He’s just standing there one moment and you can feel the tension mounting and then he explodes like a bullet from a gun and the effect is the same every time amazing. Sorry I’m writing so much.

I was about 11 when this show came out, I didn't miss an episode. Bruce Lees fight scenes would always come after the commercials at the 15-minute time in the show, it was a half hour program. No one had ever seen fighting like that before, the only reason I even watched the Green Hornet was to watch Kato's fight scenes. He was amazing. A funny thing that happened after this show aired, at school all the sudden everyone was saying they were related to Briuce Lee. So funny to see a red-haired German kid with freckles telling everyone that Bruce was his uncle, haahaa. Bruce Lee was every kids' hero back then, we were all very upset when the season was canceled.

Some of the best fight scenes in the world! Go ahead Kato!

Kinda interesting hearing Bruce's actual voice during the fights. Hearing him go "Oi" instead of "Watah".

Man, Bruce's dragon scream sure makes it more exciting 🔥🔥 love it 😍😍

Damn! Bruce was deadly with that stuff. Just watching this tells me that he could've killed anyone in a fight.

I loved this show as a kid. I especially liked when they were on Batman and Kato was kicking Robin’s butt 😂

I always love the Green Hornet and more Green Betsabe car (i guess was a Lincoln 1967), but above all i love Bruce Lee choreography fights, Master of Masters, we miss you Bruce and Brandon so much... 🇲🇽✌😎

I never saw this series but read the comic. Only seen his movies but he's still the best rest in peace Bruce Lee you are ans always will be in my view number 1 of all fighter's then and now.

Although it wasn’t planned, Bruce’s appearance on Green hornet was great marketing for his career later on we were already in love with them on the small screen when his movies came out in the 70s he already had a horde of fans. Glad to see him again for an extended period and exclusively. Hollywood could have planned a better marketing tactic themselves, and this was all organic he was true. Truly meant to be a star it’s like it was ordained

We called this the “Kato Show” while watching this as a kid.

What a treat! I've never seen 90% of this footage. Thank you!

2:39 When that music came on you knew stuff was about to go down😎👍

At 8:57, the red headed guy that gets punched in the throat, is Judo Gene LaBelle! Of Steven Segall fame. At 10:18 is the great Mako, from the "Big Brawl" with Jackie Chan. He also was Aku from "Samurai Jack!"

Thank you for posting this. I didn't see 'The Green Hornet' (living in the UK), but I worshipped Burt Ward so I can barely imagine the impact Bruce made.

I imagine this was every child's dream show when growing up. I couldn't stand shooting action films, they were boring, I always loved to see a good fight. Even Bud Spencer and Terence hill were heaps better than anything batman and james bond had to offer

I never got to see this until syndicated reruns ran in Chicago during the 90s. I collected all sorts of Martial arts magazines, so I knew that Bruce Lee had been Kato. Seeing each episode was such a treasure. Even moving as slow as he was directed to move for the TV cameras to keep up with him, I still found Kato's fight sequences sharp and mesmerizing. I own the series on DVD now. Looking at this series makes me sad to think of how dynamic the series KUNG FU could have been had it featured Bruce Lee (as was initially intended) instead of David Carridine. RIP Mr. Lee.

I was 15 and enrolled in a local Karate school. I used to try to incorporate some of Kato’s touring kumite (sparing) to the anger of our Sensei (instructor. Also, it was during one of the Green Hornet episodes that I saw for the first time ninchaku and three quarter staff used by Bruce Lee and had no idea what it was. I have a DVD set with all the Green Hornet episodes and still enjoy them.👍👍

All due respect to Williams but it’s kind of funny seeing him throw his John Wayne style punches and awkward throws then the camera cuts to Bruce Lee throwing lightning fast punches and kicks with perfect form. You just can’t help but notice the stark contrast

Bruce Lee was a martial arts trainer to the stars in the late 60's early 70's that's how he got the role of Kato in the Green Hornet show. Bruce went on to star in the cult classic Enter The Dragon. R.I.P. Bruce Lee.

Here it is 2024 and I still miss Bruce Lee. It's really ashame that Hollywood executives stole this mans dream of becoming a Chinese action movie star due to being racist as well as canceling the television hit show " The Green Hornet " featuring him as Kato. That impacted every young person in a bad way that looked forward to seeing him and Brett Reed " The Green Hornet " teaming up as the crime fighting Duo. Young adults & kids were very unhappy about the shows cancellation. Later is was found out that the TV network used Bruce Lee's idea and plan to cast David Carradine an Caucasian acter to star as Cain in the TV program entitled " Kung Fu ". Carradine was a good actor portraying a martial arts expert but still no master like Bruce Lee ! The show would have been much greater in building up a huge fan base. Bruce went on to achieve his dream of becoming a movie star showing his skills. He was indeed one of the greatest in history. Our love for you Bruce can & will go on . ❤ 😮 🎉 😊.😊

I was 9 or 10 when Green Hornet came out and people knew that fight scenes involving Robert Conrad, James Kirk, Burt Reynolds and even Nick Barkley from The Big Valley were the real deal. It wasn't like John Wayne or even Batman where no blocks and getting away with ridiculous punches. The Green Hornet was several times better. An argument would be is that one would have to experience when it came out to understand how good Kato was. I think it was a more exciting Bruce Lee than the later. RIP

A bit dated by todays fight scenes, but to an 11-year-old in the mid 1960's, this was the best. No one really seen this kind of fighting and it was awesome to watch Bruce Lee in action. Loved this show more than Batman..

All they needed was better lighting, that's all.

Bruce Lee was a great actor and imo the best at martial artists.

Insuperable. Bruce Lee es el mejor. Gracias por recopilar estas escenas.

The absolute best

This show was way better than Batman and Robin in the day. The fight scenes were better and the kicks look real and everything was close to reality.

The thing to realize about jeet kun do is that it's efficient and brutal; a lot of the moves are extremely effective yet would be found against the law for "maiming" an opponent.

Bruce Lee.. only Bruce Lee !

Classic classic TV show and I use to enjoy the jazz music 🎷 that went with it

All viewers are here because of Bruce. Who was the other guy again?

Bruce lee was the only reason I watched the Green Hornet

Great fight scenes

Mr. Lee the Master of masters! Nobody is better!!!!!!!

0:54 Bruce Lee's original scream before the high pitched *OooOh WATCHAAA* that we all know

I always thought that with a guy like Kato, who needs the green hornet. Seems Kato should be the main guy kicking a** and the other dude as the chauffeur.

Great 👍 fight scenes.

Damn! Bruce with me in these guys down! Lol! There’s one scene where the security guard/cop says no tricks, and Bruce immediately kicks him in, but looks like his groin with a front kick!

Bruce Lee caused some problems because he really would knock the crap out of the stunt men. He beat the shit out of Steve McQueen in his backyard and McQueen became his friend and student.

Two many masters at one time forme. J.lie and B.LEE.R.I.P.masters.😮😊🎉

My interest in martial arts and fitness are from watching bruce lee as Kato when I was a kid back in the day

Bruce made the show! I was wrong he was portrayed as a servant when he didn’t have his mask on. I remember reading that he was treated as a second class citizen by the studio company because he was Asian.

Kato show

Bruce Lee was something special.✊🏿☀️🌟🛸🔥💯

Espectacular 😂🎉 !!!

Amazing bruce lee

1:22 When he came out screaming😂😂😂😂😂😂

He was a very fast Kung Fu fighter with high level performance in this TV program. " Green Hornet ".

I'M 67 AND TO ME BRUCE LEE "KATO" WAS THE STAR OF THE GREEN HORNET.

They should have a better fighter for the Hornet’s character.

This series never had a chance to grow and hone itself into a popular tv show, especially with Bruce Lee!!! ♐

In Hong Kong viewers called it The Kato Show :-)

Now doub one 🕜 king, 👑 🙏 of matrial 🎨🎭 arts! God bless!!

I was 9 or 10 years old, Bruce and Van Williams was a hit in the Green Hornet series.

(Alo-Wan So) 0:04 Perfectly Timed Pause On Kato's Awesome Head Kick!

The Late Great Bruce Lee, R .I.P. Heroes Don’t Die.

*Bruce Lee was the real star of that show. It was reported that Bruce Lee would have did more fight scenes but they did not allow him to do fight scenes because they didn't like seeing the Asian kick white boys azz like that. So they curtailed on the fight scenes which is one of the reasons why Bruce Lee left the show*

I think Kato was the best character that Bruce made... especially he didn't use those high-pitched screams he did in his Chinese movies.

Kato was the coolest 😎

Bruce was so mad that Robin beats Kato in the script. Finally the stupid director wrote in a draw. Bruce was still angry but Burt Ward was terrified thinking what's Bruce gonna do but Bruce consoled him not to worry. Let's just do it.

Thank you…

The direction of this show was no match for Bruce's skill. You can tell that the director wasn't very good. The lighting is dark, the angles un-rehearsed, the music blares every time a fight begins, & the tropes on display are painful at times.

The GREEN HORNET and Kato was a race home to see from school every day. Later replaced by DARK SHADOWS.

Actors I wish had appeared more in Hollywood: ......... Bruce Lee and Yusaku Matsuda

Last 10 minutes is NOT Bruce Lee-- different person, modern ultra-slow-motion camera, etc

Bruce Lee aprendió en esa serie muchos trucos de acción, que después llevó a sus películas.

Siempre ha sido es y sera mi idolo por siwmpre.

Thank you Bruce. Lee. ROP

Before Bruce Lee perfected his fighting 'voice'.

Un worldly speed.

Kato es Hulk. Es el artista marcial por antonomasia. Imbatible...💐🌿🕯

They couldn't have even possibly seen Bruce move

2:29 best part

Someone remarked how Bruce Lee broke down racial barriers back in the 1960s and it’s true. It didn’t matter what race you were you wanted to be like Bruce Lee. His presence immediately turned up the respect level Americans had for Asians. It didn’t matter if they were Japanese Vietnamese, or Korean to us. They were all“ Chinese.“ Like Bruce Lee.

Super Guayyyyy 👍👐👐👐💯

I like this movie

lightning fast! camera couldn't catch it all!

Les personnes qui pratique où qui ont pratiqué des Arts martiaux à un niveau élevé Ceinture noir et autres Bruce manque à toutes ses personnes.

Kato was the best Hollywood could make before the real Bruce Lee :)

The only thing missing from this Kato compilation is out of sync voice and lip movements, you know…like those Chinese martial art movies.

i am back in the 60's again

Wow! I subscribed, thanks! But he was always with a mask, why ? Bruce Lee was really handsome & manly! He had a great talent in acting, especially to express his emotions/feelings by his eyes 💔🙏🏻

They had to have Bruce dlow down to catch the moves. Also Kung Fu was Bruce's idea. The network screwed him and gave it to Carrifinr.

Why did they call the show “The Green Hornet”? The Green Hornet was a fat, slow, white guy. They should have called the show “Kato”.

Bruce didn’t have his high pitched screaming then.

Its a shame that he wore black because it’s hard to appreciate the detail of his moves. Any martial arts enthusiast would appreciate to learn from him. Specially in The Green Hornet, the fights occur inside closed spaces so most of his kicks are extremely explosive and short ranged.

My Mother told me she dated Van Williams (Green Hornet) in college and I was really disappointed it wasn't Bruce Lee.

This is the kind of battle I hoping to see when The Green Hornet and Kato took on the Scarf!!!! That battle was short and very disappointing!!!

If no Bruce Lee, the Green Hornet is nothing.😴

This show makes everyone including the cops look like untrained clods, but bruce making believe he can beat everybody up looks good, I guess.

10:37 - 38 when he suddenly gets into a stance.... NEVER SEEN that type of explosiveness. A classic example. almost seems fake, like a cartoon character..... my God he was gifted

Mis serie favoŕita el avispon verde.

sounds like BatMan music all day........

If they never got Bruce Lee to play Kato, then we wouldn't get the Black Mask (both manhua and movie) and Donnie Yen's Masked Warrior.

Nessa epoca o limite da luta era muito pouco tempo pois gostaria que a cena do Bruce com Low feng fosse mais alem Pouco.

有り難う御座います❗️私は、割とグリーンホーネットが大好き❤️なんです。

back in the 60's

kato tsuyosugi!!
