Fireball Dissects The Green Hornet

Movie Car Design Master

Lots of people are looking forward to Seth Rogen’s Green Hornet. And with Cameron Diaz and Nicholas Cage now on board, it makes sense. But some of you think that this is gonna be a new movie, when it’s actually a remake of an old 60′s TV Show. And THAT show was a remake of a 40′s Serial! But the 60′s show was just one of the coolest shows that happened to be on TV at that time. Better than Batman and Bonanza, better than Route 66 too. Right up there with Twilight Zone and Hawaii 5-0.

And of course, with any successful crime fighter, this Green dood had a sidekick and cool car. Kato was the sidekick (Bruce Lee), and the Black Beauty was the car. It had rocket launchers, super cool sonar and a bunch of other doodads. But if you liked cars and Martial Arts as much as I did, then this series was the bomb. It was nothin’ but flyin’ foot fists and the smell of burnt rubber over the face of the bad guy. (The movie will actully have a story, too.)

This gallery shows the car in all it’s glory. Oil slicks, scud missiles, even a phone! What are they doing for the big budget movie? Ah, that’s a secret. Is it cooler than the original? Hm. Is it fulla cool gadgets that obliterate bad guys? Yup. Is it black? C’mon, gimme some REAL questions…

Until the movie gets closer, this is all you get, although I did post a concept I did a while back. See if you can find it…

A super modded Chrysler Imperial, thunder stumpin’ the evil doers of the planet. By the time the movie comes out, you’ll be well versed in this beast. Do it.

I just peeked at that Imperial concept and all I can say is ewwwww. Another reason why American car companies went under. They get one ideal and run it into the ground. The 300 work due that many could not/ did not remember the Green Hornets ride. When the first re-birth of the 300 came out in the late 90′s its was launched as the return of performance of the old 300′s that raced on the beaches of Daytona and then turned into what it is today. The Charger was a dud using the front end from the magnum and using a under powered V6 in the base model. They did get it right with the Challenger, old school look with todays HP and techs. Does Chrysler even have a staple car to put its name on any more. Chevy has the Vette, Ford has the Mustang, what does Chrysler have after all these years?

This is the reason I don’t really care for the C 300, from the first one I saw I told people that were old enough to remember that is look like the the Green Hornet car. Maybe this will open many peoples eyes to that fact.

Saw it at Comic-Con today. I gotta say, the car looks really sick with all of the guns and stuff on top of the other modifications done to it. I’m definitley interested in this movie!

Hey M45lover you ever hear of parental guidance????? you choose what movies you see, and same goes for your children, if your daughter ends up smoking pot, sucking dick for cheese burgers, and dancing on a pole dont blame movies….you failed at being a parent!

Who cares if he smokes a little weed! Who Hasn’t?!?!? The car is Hot! I wish I could cruise around in Atlanta’s traffic in it. With all the doodas working, a Big Green Hate and jacket, and a FAT blunt.

Oh, almost forgot about the car… I think they should update it and use a 300C SRT8.. but thats just me.

LMAO @ m45lover! Dude, chill out. You need to listen to mrtruth & dragorphan. Calm the fugg out and hit this blunt! Don’t be jealous that a pot-smoking high school drop out makes exponentially more than you do… His movies are so funny. Pineapple Express was by far the best. But really, chill out before you have a heart attack because I guarantee that you’ll die before he does if you get this worked up…

I think they should use the Chrysler Imperial Concept car. Google it. Kind of looks like a baby RR Phantom. Might be a good way to launch the car if they have the balls to build it for production..damn I should be in marketing..lol

I saw that concept, looked a little more like the in your face asthetics of the Batmobile rather than the slick and stealthy Black Beauty. I’m hoping that it resembles a Saleen S7 or a Viper coupe concept (think Viper TV series). It’s only right they use an American car

wow m45…that rant sounds like you got some serious issues if an actor gets you that worked up. btw seths movies are some of the funniest ever produced and if you honestly think the life of any average young male is that wrong than fuck you and your mother. smoking weed must be like committing genocide to you if it gets you this worked up. you need to calm down and quit being a hater just because he’s in movies that feature stoner comedy that appeals to younger crowds doesnt mean you should fly off the handle. go watch your gay twilight movies and pg comedies you puss.

Seth Rogan is a fat piece of shit human being. Someone who brags about smoking weed and dropping out of high school and watching porn all day, should not be allowed to make movies like Green Hornet which tons of kids will watch. What a piece of shit idol. I hope he dies a horrible death.
