Does anyone remember the old old TV show the Green Hornet? If you don't thats fine, but if you don't want to know procede to not read the rest of this.
The Green Hornet is note worthy mostly because its where Bruce Lee got his start, he was Kato, the non-specific asian sidekick to you guessed it The Green Hornet. Now we all know that Bruce Lee was the greatest Marshall Artist of all time, this is the man that could kick Chuck Norris' ass.... what you wanna talk Jack Bauer? ACTOR! Wanna talk Steven Segal, he's a fat ego-manical loser. What Jean Claude Van Damn? While being a good kick bocker and moderately good looking I read in an interview that he couldn't take Lee's training regiment. Yeah thats right who's the man?
Anyway I just heard something that set me off about Seth Rogen's ' The Green Hornet. Since the rumors began brewing surrounding Seth Rogen's film, word was leaked that actor Stephen Chow, heralding from Shanghai, would play the role of Kato. The popular Chinese actor who has admired Bruce Lee most of his life and Stephen Chow has extensive training in Wing Chun, (one of Lee's martial arts specialties,) has apparently dropped out of the film.
This is the dude in Kung Fu Hustle, Sholin Soccor, Journey to the West (SiFi Showed it once kicked ass I think he was Monkey) Fist of Fury, Justice, My Foot.
Thats not the big deal, Since then open casting call for the role of Kato in the upcoming film which is looking for "a non-specific Asian, [which] no longer require any martial arts experience."
I say Shame! SHAME SHAME SHAME!
It may not seem like a big deal but the original Kato was potrayed by one of the greatest marshall artist to be in film, if Rogen feels the need to have just some random asian screw the marshall arts experiance then I think this move is gonna bite cause he don't give a damn...
Its like making a movie about Stone City and putting out a casting call for Mendebras. "Just some big white dude no fighting experience needed." .... its bullshit!
I hear that Seth Rogen will be playing the Hornet himself.... man this guy is a waste of oxgen... this is the man who brought us that other Mall Cop movie... not Mall Cop but the other one.... someone shoot him please.
