The Green Hornet, Episode 6: Highways of Peril

 "I never saw a car move so fast!"

It should have been Luke Cage in this slot but I needed something shorter, so here’s the next Green Hornet instead.

This is, essentially, another instalment in this superior movie serial much like all the others, with the same heavy usage of the theme tune as incidental music and all the same tropes. This is no bad thing. Not is the repetitive plot, as our hero faces racket after racket and peril after peril, this time with Reid stuck on a bus with no brakes about to crash over a precipice, as you do. 

Incidentally. The victimised bus company is called Whippet Lines…

We end with a shootout, with lots of action for our heroes and our comedy Irishman in the meantime. There no real plot whatsoever, but who cares?
