Posted this episode to mirror the airdate from 48 years ago. This episode is special because it was part of the Green Hornet movie they cobbled together from a few episodes with the bulk of the movie from this episode.
It also featured Bruce's student, Dan Inosanto, doubling for Mako who played Lo Sing in the fight scenes.
Enjoy!
