A Telugu cinema heroine whose only presence is to add glamour and for songs has a lengthier role than the sister on whom the story is based on. The sister-brother relation has lesser screen time than the heroine. Only, the actual implementation almost makes you forget the intended story-line. In gist, Bruce Lee is a story of a brother who makes sacrifices to ensure his sister gets to achieve her career goals and saves her life from getting destroyed. Sounds great on paper, right? Yes. Looking at their individual legacies and box office success, they were all the better for it.If there was google when Bruce Lee lived and he dreamt of the legacy he would leave through search results of his name, he would have not desired this Telugu Movie to come up in them. Sometimes to the chagrin of directors and others involved with his films, Bruce Lee and his unorthodox methods strongly influenced how they handled action. Lee redefined The Green Hornet’s entire approach to fighting by taking a heavy hand in deciding how the fights should work. The challenges The Green Hornet had in making proper use of Bruce Lee’s speed speaks to the impact the actor had on his movies and shows. For this reason, movies like The Big Boss and Enter the Dragon didn’t hold him back nearly as much as The Green Hornet in the late 1960s. Fortunately, Lee’s kung fu movies were shot at a higher frame rate. At the time, cameras recorded footage at a slower frame rate, so adequately capturing Bruce Lee’s speed just wasn’t feasible. As noted in the book, The Green Hornet as well as most shows and movies from this era followed the pattern set by Westerns, which had fight scenes that happened at a slower pace and consisted mostly of punches. As a result, Lee had to significantly slow down his movements so that his kung fu would look better on TV. Bruce Lee's speed, which is often cited as one of his best qualities as a fighter, was a bit too good for The Green Hornet.Īt the time, Bruce Lee’s fighting style was unprecedented for American productions. Bruce Lee's speed made it hard for the camera to capture his moves and it was impossible to see the blows connecting. According to Bruce Lee: A Life by Matthew Polly, Lee had a lot of confidence in how his kung fu would look onscreen when he was shooting his scenes but was disappointed when he saw the first footage. His kicking moves and overall skill in martial arts led to some notable, scene-stealing moments, but were originally a hindrance.

However, it did lay the foundation for him to eventually get discovered by Hong Kong studio Golden Harvest, which was where he made four of his five movies. While he certainly earned some attention for his role in the ABC series, it didn’t immediately turn him into a martial arts sensation. During the show’s action sequences, Lee utilized his real-life expertise in kung fu. In the one-season series, Lee fought crime alongside the Green Hornet (Van Williams) as Kato, his chauffeur and sidekick. However, it apparently came with its fair share of problems, particularly during the filming of The Green Hornet.Ī few years before becoming a martial arts superstar in Hong Kong, Lee found some degree of success in the TV industry as a co-star in ABC’s The Green Hornet series, a show designed to build off the popularity of Batman. For the most part, Bruce Lee’s speed was a big part of what made his film performances so entertaining. Bruce Lee moved so fast that it actually created complications for The Green Hornet.
