The Green Hornet

Trivia: Kato makes a comment of how time slows down when he fights. This is another reference to Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee punched and kicked so fast that it couldn't be seen on film and the film had to be slowed down just to see it. In addition, when filming, Lee still had to slow down his punches and kicks.

Trivia: Another Bruce Lee reference: When Kato demonstrates that it's him, not the Green Hornet, that has the power, he uses (an exaggerated version of) Bruce Lee's One Inch Punch.

Trivia: Early in the film, it is stated that James Reid died from an apparent allergic reaction to a bee sting. The lighting array on the ceiling of his office at the Daily Sentinel resembles a honeycomb pattern, such as those found in a beehive, or indeed hornet hive.

Revealing mistake: When Kato is driving home after the argument with Britt about making coffee at the office, Kato is jerking the steering wheel randomly like a child pretending to drive despite it seeming they are just driving straight down the road. (00:56:30)

Question: So, just to make this clear, neither Britt nor Kato win Lenore's heart by the end?

Answer: Any romantic tangent between Lenore, Britt or Kato was derailed when she discovered their true identities. Lenore was furious with both of them. By the end of the film, we only get the impression that she is joining the Green Hornet team, presumably to return as a trio in any sequels. Which, due to low boxoffice and poor reviews, never happened.
