I like this series so much +_+ , because BRUCE LEE with the mask is a great character ! , RIP BRUCE the greatest fighter & warrior in the World .

Cindy Wood looks and sounds a lot like Barbara Feldon.

Oh I wish shows like these were still around

rest in peace. Green Hornet 😥😥😰😰

Holy bug-spray!!! Thank you for this. Bruce Lee and that car FOREVER!

The theme heard in this "test" was the same one heard on the original radio series (courtesy of George W. Trendle, who produced the radio show, and was "partners" with William Dozier in producing this TV version).

This guy plays Britt Reid a bit like Adam West played Bruce Wayne, but without the same knowingly comedic touch. He's good, very suave, but Van Williams was more dynamic and much more intimidating in the role. He also had better chemistry with Bruce Lee and the rest of the cast. Unfortunately Bruce has more dialogue here than he does in most episodes of the series. For as much as he got to shine in the action scenes this series really under used Lee as an actor.

They made the right decision to go with a different costume; Murray looks more like Zorro than the Green Hornet.

I like this show, but it was Bruce Lee who kicked major butt!

I love more of Van Williams’s version.

Bruce has more dialogue in this test. And Jeff Corey is a nasty bad guy.

The masks kato and the green hornet wear, are actually like the one the long range wore. If you do your history on these to characters they share some close similarities. And the music for the theme is from the original green hornet.. the music is the " flight of the Bumblebee" which is odd i know.. but it fits because of the sound and feel of flight or flying. It's awesome how good this show was, they can never make one again without messing it up.

Wow. Jay Murray was definitely NOT the guy. He was like a KEN DOLL come to life. Bland as hell. In fact, every lead character that was replaced was inferior to the eventual cast. Bill Dozier was very smart. Smartest move of course was KEEPING Bruce Lee as Kato. He knew there was no one else on Earth at that time for that particular role.💯🥇

i uploaded the first test episode onto my channel if anyone wants to see it its pretty much the same thing as this but all the actors (except bruce lee) are different and the guy who plays mike axford in the actual show is in it

I like that he wears a scarf like the 1940s counterpart

Has anyone noticed the paper Mike was holding was completely blank.

Van Williams had outstanding eyes, and the Hornet costume he would go on to wear made them more so. The mask in this film made the actor's eyes hard to see, and they weren't visible enough when he was as Britt Reid. The scarf he wore in this film is similar to the one from the 1940 movie serial, and I kinda like it, but I don't mind what they went with.

Evil Must Be Met With Strong Resistance and Fearlessness.

Jay Murray actually sounds like Al Hodge who plasyed the Hornet on the radio show.

I like the change of mask to green! I think Mr.Murray was good as the Hornet!

Damn I wanna watch more of that

Cindy Wood? Is that the sane Cindy Wood who later rose to fame as the widely adored Playboy Playmate?

Is there a test of Van Williams?

Once again, Jeff Corey is "Mr. Smith".

Bruce Lee had more lines in this clip than he did in two episodes.

wow I didn’t know that there’s the first green hornet before

Thank you!!!

I think I like that film serial costume over the one they designed for the TV series. Its more believable with the larger mask that scarf to hide all of his clothing.

That's Nelson Riddle music.

A least Katowice got more lines in this test.

Should be "Kato". Stupid predictive text.

"...sublibmble instuchhtns ib anovver..." Pretty clear why this joker didn't get the part...

The problem with the Green Hornet 60's series was that he was screwed from day one. The series was way too serious for the 60's, but if they camped it up, people would have complained that it was too much like Batman. BTW, the mask doesn't fit the Green Hornet too well.

Never heard of Jay Murray.

Holy crap! I knew that Bruce had to slow down his moves so the camera could catch the action but in this test it was still so damned fast that you don’t realize that he moves anything until you notice the change in his position. I was a 7 year old kid when this show was on and never missed it because I couldn’t wait to see Bruce Lee in action each week. The Green Hornet was always too lame for me and the star of Batman was the Bat Mobile hands down!

Henry Reid???????

Wow! This is test episode 2.0?..Is there a V1.0 around? Was Bruce Lee in that as well?

No Van Williams, was he not available? Was this before he auditioned? I did notice a Batman transition effect.

very short.

They should make a new Green Hornet, with a female Asian assistant named Katy !

Notice that in New York City in 1966 1) People smoked in their offices 2) They didn't buckle up their seat belts when driving. 3) No Black people lived in New York City. Needed comment here on point #3. In real life, Black people have lived in New York for the longest time. In TV-land they didn't. (Hint-hint; TV-land isn't always real.)

The mask even looks doesn’t fit even Van was perfect for the role!
