The Kato Show! a young Bruce Lee in action, but murky prod'n
|
After seeing a movie and documentary on Bruce Lee, I became
interested in seeing more of his stuff (especially his early
work). In the doc, they mentioned that Bruce played Kato in the
Green Hornet, and that back in Hong Kong the series was known
instead as "The Kato Show"! After seeing this video, I can see
why. Bruce totally kicks 4ss in these episodes, and is clearly
the best fighter by far in them. He's in very good and crisp
form, and many of his moves are comparable with those in his
movies. I have the feeling there was no one else quite like him
on American TV in the '60's :-)
This particular video was listed on amazon with essentially
no descriptive info (and the seller didn't provide any either),
so I really wasn't sure what I'd be getting ... but the price
was low enough to take a chance. I think the date info for the
last episode on the tape was 1967, so it's probably not a copy
of "Vol. 1" or "Vol. 2" listed elsewhere on amazon ... but those
aren't very well described either, and I don't know how to use
the listed ASIN numbers to get the crucial buying info.
On the copy I received, there are 3 episodes, none with titles
given. #1 is mobster-related and includes "The Explorers Club",
#2 opens with aliens from a crashed UFO (wtf???) and involves
an H-bomb, and #3 involves Chinatown Tongs and has lots of Kung
Fu action by several fighters. The last episode alone was worth
the price :-) Some of the plot elements and dialogs aren't
exactly stellar, but if you're a Bruce Lee fan, by all means add
it to your collection.
One thing I don't like about the copy/episodes I received is
that often the picture is too dark, and some of that great Kung
Fu action I bought the tape for isn't very visible ... but it
seems to be a matter of the production quality itself. Too bad,
but what can one expect from a '60's TV show?
Anyway, I enjoyed the tape (running a bit over an hour),
hokeyness and all :-) |
