i can remember as a child waiting for the school bell o ring and dart home in time to watch this episode... i thought the green hornet would win...lol....
after bruce lee had finished this episode, burt ward was so impressed with bruces, knowledge of the martial arts, burt turned to learning karate,in order to upgrade his chances in hollywood.....
@Slashkamr 1st, Bruce Lee was much more than a trained martial artist. He was a young visionary who wound up changing the world of martial arts. Burt Ward?? How much training did he get to command ANY respect from any seasoned black belt, let alone Bruce Lee. Please!!!!!
I Saw Both Movies of Batman at Theaters Batman Begins & The Dark Knight But What I Dislike Alot in Those 2 Movies is The Batman Scary Demon Voice So I Diden't Buy It on DVD or Blu-Ray Yuck; & I Prefer These Over it Batman & Batman Forever Batman Returns Batman & Robin.
Kane6195 I Prefer The Classic 1960's Batamn Over The Batman Begins Spelled Wrong it Was Suspose Be Like This Batman Beggins a Teacher Taugt Me That & Other Students That Other English Teachers Don't Want You Too Know I Believe in Her She is 1 of My Favorite Teachers at a College School I Go Too Sometimes.
Notice how not only Bruce Lee, but Van Williams, uses actual training (in Van William's case, boxing and judo.) I wonder why, during the judo-crazy 1960's, Batman and Robin never used actual martial arts techniques, especially in light of the fact that Burt Ward actually did a martial arts demo during his audition.
they needed for the last episode to have all the arch criminals(catwoman, Mr. Freeze Riddler, Joker and Penguin) along with 5 or 6 henchmen to go against Batman, Robin, Batgirl, The Green Hornet and Kato it would be the ultimate fight
When the HELL will the idiotic "powers that be" that own Batman, the TV show and Batman, the character, finally settle their unbelievable & moronic feud and give the public this show on DVD?!!!! Some say they are waiting for this or that. It's all stupid...respect THE FANS!!! Your GREED is amazing!! Plus your acting like children!!! The fans DESERVE this already, they have waited long enough!!! It would be great if they did it while the Mayor is still with us...C'mon JERKS!!!
@OreckBoy1 They should bring it on DVD. Nothing I like more than to enjoy the episodes anytime, anywhere. Though it's just as fun enjoying it on the Hub.
0:30 that dialouge scene right there pretty much told us who would win if GH and Kato didn't tamper with their skills before the fight between the caped crusaders. All I can say is now that the new movie is out and that both heroes are in the 21st century (Many people might dissagree with me about the GH movie, but hey thats their opinion.) when would the long awaited rematch be between Kato and Robin?
2 very different men, both crime fighters, except here Batman and Robin are known to all as a hero, while The Green Hornet & Kato are considered criminals in the eyes of other people. But of course we all know that all of them are heroes.
Looks like the internet is flooded by bruce lee (NOT kato) fanboys, cause its clearly obvious this fight was a draw....hell, if there was a clear winner, it was Batman punching Hornet all over the place, and Robin was clearly holding his own against Kato. Those "Kato was holding back" excuses are just that...excuses.
People gotta realize that this is...fiction. In fiction, All of them are equals.
I think the one thing this two-parter is missing is a credible villain. Well, more credible than Gumm, anyway. Roger C. Carmel did a good job, but Joker or Penguin would've made for a much more colorfull--and challenging--adversary for Bats and G.H., and a much better excuse for the two joining forces. Hell even False Face would've been a bigger challenge, and he could've really used the whole G.H. being thought of as a badguy thing to his advantage.
@SaMuRaiCHiCo I agree. I wonder how come they have not done something like this in comics. It would be interesting. If they did it in comics, they probably would do something like the ideas you've posted.
@SaMuRaiCHiCo not trying to diss the joker or penguin but if they were there instead of Gumm all it would take would be Kato to knock their teeth out.
it's funny to me how they're talking on the side of the building and then hiding behind the curtains, and one the bad guys men got shot in "The Godfather"
Edward G was there, according to the book, "Batmania" in his later years before he died, Edward was one that had taken up painting as a hobby. And William Fitzsimmons, one of the Batman exec's at 20th Century Fox, found out that Edward G, liked the way they did the camera angles of the hero and the villians, and wanted to know how they did it for those bat climb sequences, so Fitzsimons showed him how it was done, and the rest you could say is Bathistory!
@velmax30 not to be mean buddy but actually the man who play the green hornet actually wanted them to show bruce more and they did, thats why in china they called it the kato show.
The idea that Burt was afraid of Bruce Lee is a MYTH! Keep in mind that Burt had a black belt in karate and broke boards with his hand in his audition. Then add the fact that they (Burt and Bruce Lee) both lived in the same apartment building and their families spent time together. The people in charge allowed the two actors to create much of the fight on their own because they could handle it just fine. Also it was agreed that the fight would just stop so no character would be the loser.
He was in The Ten Commandments, Little Ceasar, Key Largo, and like 5 trillion movies I never saw. But if you ever saw the Ten Commandments on TV, you've seen him.
what's interesting about that left hook ZAMM!!! is that usually when batman or robin hit one of the criminal henchmen they show the blow and then they see their body flop or whatever but when robin hit kato they didn't show kato fall back or anything...
Kato-Bruce Lee owns. But Adam West/Batman could never beat the Master Batman is my favorite from the comic books, Batman, Batman returns, Batman Begins and Dark Knight, Batman TAS.
Great post. I fast-forward right to the epic fight scene.
When I was younger we talked about the fight a lot including trying to count who got the most hits. Hard to figure out since there wasn't even VCRs back then!
If you want to be realistic, anyone can hit anyone and Robin has a unique fighting style. Kato would ultimately win but Robin made a good showing.
Harcourt Fenton "Harry" Mudd was a notorious con artist encountered on numerous occasions by the crew of the USS Enterprise.
Mudd's interstellar exploits began when he deserted his nagging wife, Stella, on Earth sometime in the mid-23rd century, and became a peripatetic grifter who roamed through the galaxy practicing various cons, schemes and scams -- not always successfully.
In Adam West's autobiography, he tells how Bruce Lee was very quiet and intense before the final fight scene was shot. He wouldn't talk or smile, and Burt Ward was starting to get nervous. Bruce was playing a joke, just to freak Burt out, but Adam had a great line about it. He said "Other than running him over with the Batmobile, I couldn't see how anyone could stop Bruce if he snapped".
I remember that Burt Ward was so terribly affraid to face bruce Lee in that battle. In the original script they intended Robin to beat Kato but they had to reckonize that Robin couldn't never beat the Legend.
Batman displayed his wisdom once again in this one--he wanted no part of Kato! LOL Mind you, I'm not suggesting Batman was a coward, just smart. ;)
