People who know me probably wouldn’t be surprised that the first
movie I saw in a movie theatre was a superhero film. But which one it was would surprise people. It wasn’t a new film when I saw it but rather a matinee of an older film. Nor was
the material really new when it was released theatrically. It was, in fact the Green Hornet. Not the new
3-D version of course. No this 1974 movie took two episodes of the 1960s TV series
with Van Johnson and Bruce Lee and put them together. No real connection to the
parts. It’s actually the only material from that show legally available on DVD.
Not surprisingly it was hardly a magical first experience at the movies, though
I still enjoyed the heroics. But I developed a passion for movies anyway so it
all worked out.
