OH DAMN WTF.
I can't belive that this didn't get anyone's attention yesterday! That's one iconic car - to wreck it is almost sacrilegious!!

I know I will be catching shit for this, but what car is that?
Green Hornet's car
Though that is not the car from the show, that's just a Chrysler Crown Imperial.
Black Beauty did not have chrome bumpers.

One of the most iconic TV cars done by Dean Jeffries. And just in case you didn't know, Bruce Lee played Kato as his first roll in a US production.
Here's a rare shot from a cross over done with Batman:

ahhh... I've never seen the show, but I've heard of it... that was years before my time
It was the Bond car of the late 60's. It had radar, oil slick, missiles, fog, the works!
I bet Kato was texting.
OooHHH! Me first, me first!!!!
That'll buff right out.
;D
I just wonder how unintentional of an accident it might have been - it's sort of a retarded accident from the look of the pics....
...either that or Kato really was texting.... [bang]

Michael Jackson is dead.
Well, look at the windshield. It's tinted like a stunt car would be...

I would agree too if the one that was at the press release wasn't the same:

Now, all this being said that
REAL car from the
REAL TV show didn't have gatlin guns like the Keaton Batmobile....this movie is going to be a tragedy!!! [bang]

OK, so maybe Kato is a little rusty after all these years....after all he hasn't been behind the wheel since 1966. [cheeky]
So the Green Hornet was an overweight, eye glass wearing, pot head?

Um no, but in the spirit of ruining iconic TV shows like Starsky and Hutch, Dukes of Hazzard, soon to be the A-Team, and the obviously the Green Hornet...I'd like to quote Queen by saying "another one bites the dust."
Yeah, I was not happy with the Dukes.
The A-Team, really? :-\
I'd like to quote Van Halen by saying "Where have all the good times gone?" Oh wait, they are remaking them.
It was entrapment! [popcorn]
The cop cut him off, he lost control and crashed into the barricade, and then the cop arrested him for not wearing his seatbelt (back then, cars didn't have seat belts).
It's a damn police state [leo]
