Summary

The Green Hornet (also referred to as simply Green Hornet) is a masked fictional crime fighter. Originally created by George W. Trendle for an American radio program in the 1930s, the character has appeared in two Universal serials. In the 13 episode serial, the city is faced with rising crime and increased racketeering activity, intrepid newspaper editor Britt Reid (Gordon Jones) becomes the crime fighter the Green Hornet. As far as the police are concerned, the Hornet is himself a criminal; this misunderstanding enables Reid to operate "outside the law" to battle criminals and racketeers. Working along side the Hornet is the brilliant inventor/sidekick Kato (Keye Luke), the only living person who knows the true identity of the Hornet. Our heroes fight an infamous racket's that's menacing their city.

"Thank You's" from our customers

I’m just sitting here in amazement right now! I’ve received my copies of “The Green Hornet & The Green Hornet Strikes Again!” in the mail and was as giddy as a kid at Christmas time! I’m looking at how beautifully restored they are with the most amazingly detailed insert I’ve seen in a DVD collection this affordably priced! They look and sound exquisite. I use to have both on VHS (remember that stuff?) and they were hard to watch and listen to, but now thanks to VCI they are an absolute joy to! Thanks again for the pre-order price from a life long customer! - John Roach


I am a serious serial fan and collector. Allow me to congratulate you on the release of "The Green Hornet", and "The Green Hornet Strikes Again". I had both serials on old PD VHS tapes, and your DVDs are far beyond my most optimistic expectations. I was looking forward to their release, and bought them the first day they were put on sale. They are beautiful copies, and I can hardly wait for your next restoration project. Keep them coming!
