I haven't seen the movie yet, but my assistant was very excited when she told me that it was in there. Almost worth the price of admission just to see :p Is the rest of the movie any good?

Hey Pro

Personnally I would wait for the DVD to come out , the GT shots are small and far between , not worth the movie admission

If you guys liked that that, you're going to love the GT40 in the upcoming Fast 5 (Fast and Furious 5). But I'm not supposed to say anything, so you didn't hear it here.

Saw the movie, quite funny. When Hans said he thought it was a GT40 replica I thought I'd look at the mirrors, one of the easiest tells, but I didn't see any mirrors at all????

Nope, we didn't hear it here - it's like in the movie trailer all over the web along with The Rock in it...a simple search nets everything!:lol

In a word, NO - not if you're a fan of the origional T.V. series. If you are, you're going to be badly dissppointed, because the "origional" T.V. 'Hornet was depicted seriously. In the movie he's anything but (ditto Kato). IOW, the story line was intended as/written to be a farce of sorts...it was a comedy more than a straight forward "super hero" movie (it IS funny in several places). If I'd known before seeing it what I know now, I wouldn't have bothered. (Imagine a James Bond movie scripted as a comedy and you'll pretty much have the idea. Would you pay to see it?)

All-in-all, I predict there will be no 'Hornet II.

Ditto that Pockets. It was weak, IMHO, especially Rogen as the GH. He's fine for the Pineapple Express roles, but they missed the boat with his being the lead in Green Hornet.
Nice garage/collection though.

We thought it was a great flick. Not comprable to the TV series either up or down and since that only lasted less than a season not much to compare to. The Orange and blue is a GT40 replica unlike the real Heritage Ford Gt in "night at the museum". The Black Beauty gets plenty of air time and lots more than the car in the TV show. I do think a more serious GH might be okay. I thought they should have used the guy from the Transporter movies. The new Kato did a great job though.

Better yet catch the mythbusters episode reproducing the car stunts. They would have been dead meat exploding the car in the hole under the dozer. LAME.

It was a funny superhero movie which I think is what they intended.

Come on EP, the hissyfit fight between Kato and the Hornet was pretty funny. How could they have stayed true to the TV series without Bruce Lee?
